SpaceX plans to launch Crew-4 in April.
SpaceX’s human-carrying capsule has a surprise issue with its parachutes. Here’s what it could mean for Crew Dragon Crew-4 and the upcoming Axiom Space mission.
This graph shows the progress in telecommunications bit rates over the last two centuries, and a future extrapolation to the 22nd century.
A primitive form of telecommunications emerged in the late 18th century, when French inventor Claude Chappe demonstrated a practical semaphore system that delivered messages between Paris and Lille. Known as the optical telegraph, it had a transmission rate of two to three symbols (196 different types) each minute, or about 0.4 b/s.
The electrical telegraph, popularised in the 1840s, used a coding system developed by American inventor Samuel Morse, which encoded text characters as sequences of two different signal durations, called dots and dashes. It achieved a rate of approximately 100 b/s.

Tom HlavacIf Musk could catalyze adoption of hempcrete and mass produce 3D printers for that, he would do more if value than everything he has done before.

An EV may be your next tow vehicle — and the options just keep getting better.
If you’re looking for the best EV for towing a trailer or boat, you’re in luck. There are more electrified cars and trucks available in the automotive marketplace today than ever before, and quite a few are engineered to tow some substantial weight.
A complete compendium of those EVs offering maximum trailer weight ratings of at least 1,500 pounds could go on forever. You don’t have forever, so we rounded up a representative group of the electric vehicles available today that offer maximum trailer weight ratings ranging from 1,500 to 10,000-plus pounds. One of these smart and powerful EVs just might be your best EV that can tow.
Coffee, wine, and wheat varieties are among the foods we could lose forever.
The grocery store is thin on genetic diversity. Bringing back endangered foods can help.
