SpaceX's massive Starship rocket completed its most successful test yet, deploying 20 satellites and achieving the first-ever safe water landing of the entire vehicle. After last week's engine failure forced a delay, engineers fixed the problem and launched a mission that brings reusable Mars rockets closer to reality.
A cooler-sized device can turn seawater into safe drinking water in minutes, no training required. Former SpaceX engineers created the portable system to help disaster zones and remote communities access clean water anywhere.
SpaceX's newest Mars-bound rocket completed its first test flight, hitting most of its goals even after losing engines. The successful test comes as the company prepares to go public next month.
A former SpaceX engineer left aerospace to build the plastic-free coffeemaker he couldn't find anywhere else. Now his $80 machine could bring microplastic-free brewing to everyone's kitchen.
SpaceX just completed a successful 25-second test fire of its upgraded Starship booster, clearing the path for the massive rocket's 13th test flight as early as July 15. The new Version 3 rocket packs more power and fuel capacity, bringing NASA's moon landing missions one step closer to reality.
For the first time ever, SpaceX successfully recovered its massive Starship spacecraft intact after it survived a soft ocean landing. The 171-foot vehicle is now heading back to Texas after engineers gathered breakthrough data from its heat shield.
SpaceX's giant Starship rocket just passed crucial engine tests, bringing humanity one step closer to routine space travel. The company successfully fired up all six engines on the spacecraft that will attempt the first orbital flight in September.
SpaceX just proved its massive Starship rocket can launch satellites and return to Earth safely, bringing reusable space travel closer to reality. Despite a few engine hiccups, the test flight hit every major goal, lighting up possibilities for moon missions and Mars exploration.
SpaceX's upgraded Starship V3 achieved most of its mission goals during its debut test flight, successfully deploying satellites and gathering crucial data despite minor engine issues. The milestone comes as the company prepares to go public next month.
For the first time ever, SpaceX's massive Starship rocket survived a water landing, bobbing upright in the Indian Ocean while still transmitting data. The Flight 13 test also successfully deployed 20 next-generation internet satellites and proved a crucial engine restart capability.
SpaceX successfully launched and landed its massive Starship rocket in the Indian Ocean, marking a major milestone for the future of space exploration. The test flight came just days after the company overcame engine problems that stopped last week's launch attempt.
SpaceX successfully launched and landed the world's most powerful rocket after a seven-month break, bringing NASA's 2028 moon mission closer to reality. The 408-foot Starship deployed satellites and completed its ocean landing despite two engine failures.
SpaceX launched its upgraded Starship V3 rocket into space, deployed test satellites, and survived a fiery reentry over the Indian Ocean. Despite a booster crash and engine hiccups, the test marked major progress toward future Moon and Mars missions.
SpaceX just unveiled the most powerful rocket ever built, featuring breakthrough engine designs and refueling technology that could make moon missions routine. The new Starship V3 is 408 feet tall and packed with innovations that bring humanity closer to becoming a spacefaring civilization.
A groundbreaking study challenges engineers to move beyond defense systems and design technologies that actively reduce conflict and promote stability. The research outlines how engineering choices, from water pipelines to power grids, can either fuel tensions or foster peace.
A former SpaceX engineer is launching a satellite in October to prove water can power rockets, turning science fiction into reality. If successful, the breakthrough could help future astronauts refuel on the Moon or Mars for their journey home.
Ghana's Deputy Minister is urging engineers to enter politics and governance, arguing that technical expertise is missing from policy decisions. Only two engineers currently serve in the cabinet, creating a gap between policy design and real-world implementation.
The University of Virginia's Engineering Student Council threw a special gala to honor undergraduate students who've made their campus community better. From teaching assistants to design team leaders, dozens of student engineers got recognized for going the extra mile.
Timothy Moananu, 24, earned his Bachelor of Engineering with honors in forestry from the University of Canterbury and now works as a principal engineer in Samoa. His father challenged him to pursue the degree without academic help at home, and Timothy proved he could make it happen. ---
African engineers with world-changing ideas can now compete for £50,000 and months of free business training in the UK.
