SpaceX :
SpaceX's Starship test flight ended in catastrophe as the massive rocket exploded mid-air shortly after launch, raining debris off Florida’s coast. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) swiftly responded by halting flights into major Florida airports, including Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Palm Beach, and Orlando, triggering widespread travel disruptions. Thousands of passengers faced hours of delays as air traffic ground to a halt, with Philadelphia International Airport also briefly suspending outbound flights. The explosion marks yet another setback for SpaceX’s ambitious space program, as regulators and engineers scramble to assess the cause of the failure

A former U.S. Army analyst, 25-year-old Korbein Schultz, has been sentenced to 7 years in prison for leaking top-secret military information to a contact he believed was linked to the Chinese government. Schultz admitted to selling sensitive data from 2022 to 2024—including info on U.S. troop movements, missile systems, and lessons from Ukraine—for $42,000. The case raises serious national security concerns, with leaked documents also covering Taiwan and NATO strategy. Schultz even tried to recruit others. Was it greed, ideology—or something darker?
