| Watch NASA astronauts fly SpaceX’s Crew Dragon using touchscreens Posted: 30 May 2020 03:29 PM PDT  Nearly two hours after NASA astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley became the first astronauts launched to space on a privately-owned rocket, they also became the first to pilot a spaceship using only touchscreen controls. SpaceX's Crew Dragon eschews the famous maze of manual controls and switches found on retired spacecraft like the Space Shuttle or the Apollo command modules. Instead, Crew Dragon pilots have just three large touchscreen panels in front of them and a few spare buttons below. So during the few times that they have to manually control the spacecraft, they do so using a video game-style interface on those screens. Behnken and Hurley got to take that interface for a brief test ride Saturday afternoon when SpaceX had them... |
| SpaceX successfully launches first crew to orbit, ushering in new era of spaceflight Posted: 30 May 2020 02:30 PM PDT  Image: SpaceX / NASA After nearly two decades of effort, Elon Musk's aerospace company, SpaceX, successfully launched its first two people into orbit, ushering in a new age of human spaceflight in the United States. The flight marked the first time astronauts have launched into orbit from American soil in nearly a decade, and SpaceX is now the first company to send passengers to orbit on a privately made vehicle. The two astronauts — veteran NASA fliers Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley — rode into space inside SpaceX's new automated spacecraft called the Crew Dragon, a capsule designed to take people to and from the International Space Station. Strapped inside the sleek, gumdrop-shaped capsule, the duo lifted off on top of SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket from NASA's... |
| Meet the cute stuffed dinosaur that hitched a ride on SpaceX’s historic launch Posted: 30 May 2020 12:44 PM PDT  Astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley had some company on their historic flight to space today: a stuffed dinosaur tucked into one of the seats on SpaceX's Crew Dragon. Behnken and Hurley each have a son, and both boys are dinosaur enthusiasts. Before the flight, the boys gathered all their dinosaur toys together, and Tremor, a sparkly apatosaurus was selected to accompany Behnken and Hurley to space. "That was a super cool thing for us to get a chance to do for both of our sons who I hope are super excited to see their toys floating around with us on board," Behnken said during an tour of the capsule in orbit. "I'm sure they would rather be here, given the opportunity, but hopefully they're proud of this as well." The toy was... |
| Microsoft lays off journalists to replace them with AI Posted: 30 May 2020 08:27 AM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Microsoft is laying off dozens of journalists and editorial workers at its Microsoft News and MSN organizations. The layoffs are part of a bigger push by Microsoft to rely on artificial intelligence to pick news and content that's presented on MSN.com, inside Microsoft's Edge browser, and in the company's various Microsoft News apps. Many of the affected workers are part of Microsoft's SANE (search, ads, News, Edge) division, and are contracted as human editors to help pick stories. "Like all companies, we evaluate our business on a regular basis," says a Microsoft spokesperson in a statement. "This can result in increased investment in some places and, from time to time, re-deployment in others. These decisions are not the result of the... |
| The Air Force weather team that keeps canceling your rocket launches Posted: 30 May 2020 07:54 AM PDT  Bad weather at Cape Canaveral forced SpaceX to postpone its first launch attempt on Wednesday, May 27th. | Photo by Joel Kowsky / NASA With less than 20 minutes to go before SpaceX's first crewed flight, weather conditions remained miserable, forcing meteorologists at the Air Force's 45th Weather Squadron to deliver bad news to NASA and SpaceX. "It definitely hurts, especially when we have those hard requirements that when something hits, there's nothing we can do about it," Capt. Jason Fontenot, the space lift weather operations flight commander at the 45th Weather Squadron, said during a press call. "And we just kind of have to pass on the information, saying, 'Even though we're not at the launch window yet, this is very unlikely that we will see this take off today.'" Military personnel who work at the Squadron in Cape Canaveral, Florida are used to being the ones... |
| How to watch the SpaceX Crew Dragon mission Posted: 30 May 2020 07:01 AM PDT  The Falcon 9 rocket set to carry SpaceX's Crew Dragon to the ISS. | SpaceX On Saturday, May 30th, SpaceX's Crew Dragon is set to become the first private spacecraft to carry humans into orbit. The launch, scheduled for 3:22PM ET, will also mark the first time in nearly a decade that NASA astronauts have launched into orbit from Cape Canaveral, Florida. For NASA astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley, this will be their second attempt at this historic launch. The first launch attempt, on Wednesday, May 27th, was scrubbed due to poor weather conditions less than 17 minutes before launch. They'll get another chance today. If today's launch is delayed for any reason, the next launch attempt will be on Sunday, May 31st, at 3PM ET. NASA plans to cover today's event live, starting at around 11AM ET. If all goes... |
| The Verge’s favorite hobbies to do while stuck at home Posted: 30 May 2020 07:00 AM PDT  Putting things in jars is a surprisingly therapeutic activity. | Photo by William Poor / The Verge If you're anything like us, over the past couple of months you've probably finished every "must watch" TV series on Netflix, cleaned your apartment from top to bottom, and completed every video game in your backlog. We get it: social distancing can get pretty boring. So if you're finding yourself with a lot of time to kill, why not spend it on learning something completely new? With some basic supplies and online resources, it's possible to learn a lot of cool and sometimes downright useful skills, like knitting, calligraphy, or even taking care of a bicycle. We're a tech site (obviously) so we're not claiming to be experts in all of the hobbies we're recommending below. But what we are good at is locating a lot of very specific and... |

| Waymo’s robot minivans are ready to roll in the Bay Area for the first time since COVID-19 outbreak Posted: 30 May 2020 07:00 AM PDT  Photo by Andrej Sokolow/picture alliance via Getty Images Waymo's self-driving cars are returning to Bay Area roads for the first time since the company halted its public testing in early March because of the coronavirus outbreak. The Alphabet-owned company plans to return its fleet of autonomous minivans to service starting June 8th, according to an email obtained by The Verge. Waymo's self-driving cars will be put to use delivering packages for two Bay Area non-profits: illustrator Wendy McNaughton's #DrawTogether, which provides art kits to Bay Area kids; and Lighthouse for the Blind and Visually Impaired. The company is the latest autonomous vehicle operator to discover that doing deliveries allows it to sidestep restrictions that would otherwise require them to keep their autonomous... |
| Zoom paid accounts reportedly will get strong encryption for calls Posted: 30 May 2020 06:30 AM PDT  Zoom will add stronger encryption to its paid customers' video calls, but isn't planning to offer the enhanced security to all accounts, Reuters reported. A security consultant with the company told Reuters that it still wasn't clear whether some accounts, such as nonprofit users, might qualify for the more secure calls. "Zoom's approach to end-to-end encryption is very much a work in progress - everything from our draft cryptographic design, which was just published last week, to our continued discussions around which customers it would apply to," a company spokesperson said in an email to The Verge. The videoconferencing platform has boomed in popularity during the coronavirus pandemic, but has been plagued by myriad security issues.... |
