The U.S. agency has chosen SpaceX to develop and produce the spacecraft that will take the aging International Space Station (ISS) out of its position in Earth's orbit and bring it back down to Earth. SpaceX's deorbit vehicle contract is worth an estimated $843 million, NASA notes in its announcement Wednesday. This doesn't include the cost to launch the deorbit vehicle into space, however, which is expected to be a separate contract (that may also be eventually awarded to SpaceX). NASA says it will operate the mission to deorbit the ISS using the SpaceX tech.â [// PCMag »]( [/money] [Motley Fool - Waiting is boring, but it could make you rich | [Partner]]( [Waiting is boring, but it could make you rich]( For some, investing is a game of quick, easy money.

It also boasts the highest power per cylinder in engines of equivalent bore size. It can be configured in 8 to 16 cylinders and with a power output ranging from 4.6 MW to 10.4 MW at 720 and 750 rpm. ⦠The cylinder bore and stroke (12.2 x 16.9 inches, or 31 x 43 cm) sound enormous if you're coming from the auto/moto world, but compared to some of the company's bigger engines, which have cylinders big enough to walk into, they're relatively compact.â [// New Atlas »]( [/lifehack] [How to control your iPhone with your Mac | Lifehacker]( [How to control your iPhone with your Mac]( âOne of the newest features in iOS 18 and macOS Sequoia is iPhone Mirroring, which allows you to connect your iPhone directly to your Mac, giving you complete control of it right from your desktop.

Itâs got unmatched graphics, lightning-fast load times, and an extensive library of exclusive games. But all those perks usually come at a pretty hefty price. Unless you get an open-box PS5. Open box is just a fancy way of saying itâs lived on store shelves and made a trip back to the warehouse. Still new. Still in factory settings. The packaging (which youâre going to throw out, anyway) has just seen some better days. So why overspend on a PS5 when you can get the slim Digital Edition for under $450? Get yours soon, though, because they will sell out. Just donât forget to thank us later.

Lest you interpret that as a cautionary tale, scientists at the University of Tokyo have gone full Torment Nexus by growing living skin in a lab and attaching it to a robotic face, so that it can create rudimentary facial expressions. It'd be one thing if the resulting creation looked like a skincare YouTuber. But instead, we think it's fair to say that this thing appears to crave the sweet release of death.

Here's the story of how I almost lost it. My business had grown for eight consecutive years in a row, but I was concerned about what I saw on the horizon. Our main customers (online media companies) were in decline. Less people were visiting "traditional media" (CNN, Fox, etc). Instead people got their news from social media (Twitter, Facebook, etc). This was completely out of my control. And I was concerned we'd eventually "fail" if something didn't change. Fear set in. All I could think was: failing = death.
