The FAA grounded SpaceX after a rocket mishap. Elon Musk’s space company has to put Falcon 9 launches on hold while the Federal Aviation Administration investigates the failed landing of a booster this week, the Associated Press reported. The booster toppled over in flames after landing on an ocean platform, SpaceX’s first landing failure in years. The incidents could further delay the launch of the Polaris Dawn mission, which was set to pull off the first-ever private spacewalk this week before its launch was scrapped twice due to a technical problem and weather. SpaceX is also planning to use the Falcon 9 next month on the Crew-9 mission to deliver two astronauts to the International Space Station and return next year with two others who have been stranded following the Boeing Starliner’s malfunction.
The UK is mulling a ban on outdoor smoking at pubs. Somewhere in London, a pint of Guinness was just chucked at the wall. Newly elected Prime Minister Keir Starmer confirmed that the British government is considering banning the popular practice of smoking outdoors at pubs, restaurants, sporting grounds, and other venues to minimize deaths linked to tobacco use. While health experts applauded the news, pubs and pubgoers were less than thrilled, arguing a smoking ban would hurt businesses and ruin an established social custom. Smoking caused 74,600 deaths in England alone in 2019, per the National Health Service.
Apple is reportedly in talks to invest in OpenAI. According to the Wall Street Journal, the iPhone-maker is part of a funding round that includes Microsoft and venture capital firm Thrive Capital, which will value the artificial intelligence startup at more than $100 billion. Apple previously partnered with OpenAI to use ChatGPT to power the more complex tasks in its Apple Intelligence platform, while it uses its own technology for more basic functions. The investment—unusual because Apple rarely invests in startups—would further the company’s commitment to AI and solidify its access to OpenAI tech.
