Intel has gone from mastering the world to being a forced partner of the United States. They are bad news for Europe

by

Intel has just sold 10% of your company to the United States government for 8,900 million dollars. The operation confirms what many suspected: the most iconic chips manufacturer in the world can no longer survive without state help. The panoramic. For three decades, the ‘Intel Inside’ stickers glued to millions of computers symbolized US domain in semiconductors. Intel and Microsoft created The era “wintel” that defined personal computing. In 2009, the Obama administration even presented antitrust charges against Intel for its dominant position. Today, the company is worth 108,000 million dollars while Nvidia, its former subordinated, reaches 4.3 billion. What has happened. Last Friday, Donald Trump announced that the United States acquired 10% Intel in exchange for promised funds under the CHIPS ACT They never arrived. It is not technically a rescue, but it looks a lot. Trump sold it as a big business: “I paid zero for Intel, it is worth approximately 11,000 million dollars” (capital letters are yours). The reality is more complex: Intel had been waiting for those 8.9 billion already committed by the previous administration for months. The company desperately needed money: Its foundry division lost $ 13.4 billion last year. He has fired between 8,000 and 10,900 workers. And the most worrying: not even Intel’s own product teams want to use their factories, preferring that TSMC manufactures their chips. Why is it important. This operation marks a turning point on three critical fronts: For Intel, It means losing business autonomy. 76% of their income comes from abroad, with China representing 29%. Now each decision will be under the political scrutiny of his government. As the company itself warns in regulatory documentsthis could “cause adverse reactions of investors, employees, clients, suppliers, foreign or competitors.” For the United Statesrepresents the return of state capitalism in technology. It is the first direct government intervention in a company from the rescue of the 2008 automobile industry. Trump has already suggested that there will be more: “I will make agreements like this for our country constantly.” For Europethis is especially worrying. The European Union partially depends on Intel for its ambitions of technological sovereignty in semiconductors. If the largest Western chips becomes an instrument of American industrial policy, Europe is in an even more vulnerable position against Asia. The Trump government has already asked TSMC to help rescue Intel factories. Also He took a “golden action” in Nippon Steel and Plan to stay with part of the sales that Nvidia and AMD make to China. The message is clear: the semiconductor industry is now a national security issue. Between the lines. Intel’s fundamental problem is not solved with public money: Intel failed in smartphones when he rejected to make chips for the first iPhone. He was late to AI while Nvidia was ahead. And he lost his leadership in manufacturing against TSMC, which not only has better technology but A superior business model As a pure foundry. As pointed out Intel’s CEO himself, Lip-bu Tan, “twenty or thirty years ago we were leaders. Now the world has changed. We are not among the ten main semiconductor companies.” Its survival depends on the success of the 18A manufacturing nodehis latest technological commitment. And now what. Intel is now a company supported by the State, something that its own managers warned could scare customers. Meanwhile, Trump promises more similar agreementseven suggesting the creation of an American sovereign fund with participations in technology companies. For competitors, this creates a scenario of unfair competition: AMD, Qualcomm and other companies now compete against a rival that has the US government as the main shareholder, with all that that implies in terms of government contracts and political decisions. Senator Rand Paul He summarized it With irony: “If socialism is the Government possessing the means of production, wouldn’t the government be having part of Intel a step towards socialism?” Paradoxically, Bernie Sanders, a declared socialist, applauded the measure. Intel went from being the symbol of American technological capitalism to become his first large semi-nationalized company of the 21st century. For Europe, which struggles not to be behind the technological career, it is an alarm signal: the era of the free market in semiconductors is over.

Now what is growing is the rental of rooms

by

Spain is experiencing a huge housing crisis for years for which no solution has been found at the moment. The autonomous communities and the central government are fighting with the problem in its own way, trying to eliminate tourist floors illegal while Pockets are filled. One of the big problems, if not the greatest, is the offer. Little is built, but Where there is more pricing up. Burned several stages of the crisis, the (antepen) last final boss is the growth of room rental. What’s happening. According to the last Idealist reportthe offer of rental rooms has grown 24% in the second quarter of 2025 compared to the same period of the previous year. At that time, prices have risen 5% on average throughout the territory, something that according to the real estate portal is a low figure that It is explained with the great growth of the offer. That is, if not grown so much, the price increase would be much higher. In 30 provincial capitals where we appreciate price increases, 19 have more demand than supply. In two out of three capitals where the price rises, the demand grows more than the supply, so there is a certain correlation and a message to the market: there is interest in more room rental. Why it is important. Because renting a room It costs the same as whole floors 10 years ago. In Madrid or Barcelona they already exceed 500 euros, and in Valencia, Málaga, Palma, Pamplona or San Sebastián, the 400 euros, and in several cases in a comfortable way. According to idealist data, the average cost of the rooms is already 420 euros. It is also relevant because the rental model per room is the most chosen by students and young people for their lowest price. The situation drowns them in a labor market where the Youth unemployment continues at record levels in the European Union and where Having a job no longer implies getting out of poverty. It is a figure similar to the one that the OCU establishes today as the monthly food spending of a couple. On the other hand, idealist experts establish in a 30% the maximum effort rate On the salary we should do when renting: the worrying thing is that the average price per room, which not for the complete house, already represents 32% of the minimum wage (Net, in 12 payments). Profitability as great explanation. The growing room rental trend has to do with the potential offered by the market for investors: A Fotocasa report At the end of 2024, the gross return of this rental modality was established by 9.3%, compared to 6.1% of a traditional three rooms and 80 square meters. In summary: a 34% higher profitability. The places where room offer grows most. The cities that have more fired figures are Ciudad Real (88%), Santa Cruz de Tenerife (76%), Ceuta (74%), Palma (71%) and Valencia (70%). On the other hand, the large markets also have very bulky figures: Malaga (45%), Bilbao (39%), Barcelona (30%), Madrid (19%), San Sebastián (15%) and Alicante (6%). A Contra highlights Seville, the only major market where the room offer has been reduced (5%). Córdoba (-26%), Logroño (-21%), Granada (-11%), Castellón de la Plana (-11%), Badajoz (-3%), Cádiz (-3%) and Oviedo (-2%). Where the price grows more. Barcelona is the city with the most expensive room rentals in Spain with 570 euros on average. They are followed by Madrid (527 euros), San Sebastián (475 euros), Palma (450 euros), Malaga and Pamplona (425 euros in both cases). However, where the price grows the price since last year is in Zamora (18%), followed by Segovia (16%), Palencia (15%), Jaén, Lugo and Ciudad Real (14%in the 3 cases). In Palma, Ceuta, Cáceres and Castellón de la Plana is where the cost for a room has fallen most.

the problems of referring to the AI ​​as simple as recognizing a photo of Francoism

by

An image of a humble Spanish family in the 50s has recently become the epicenter of a viral controversy in X. The photograph It ended up unleashing the hysteria of many users, a hysteria caused by blind trust towards the responses of artificial intelligence, in this case that of Grok. Another example of verifying historical information with AI has its things. What happened. It all started when the @kritikafull user public A black and white photograph of a family in poverty conditions, accompanied by the following phrase in an ironic tone: “We lived better.” The image generated thousands of visualizations, but also aroused the interest of many users who doubted that photography was taken in Spain and ended up resorting to Grok, as usually happens lately on the social network, to verify the information. The origin of the controversy. Image: Arenas Photographic Study A problematic answer. Grok I identified erroneously Photography as an image taken during the great American depression, attributing it to photographer Walker Evans and stating that he showed the Burroughs family. This answer He replied massively In dozens of publications that accumulated thousands of visualizations, making the error an apparent truth that served to discredit the original publication. A research work. The user @ropamuig37, who describes herself in her profile as a historian, decided to verify the facts by one Inverse image search on Google Lens. The result took it directly to the photographic file of the University of Malaga, where the image appears perfectly classified as “Housing, August 1952, Malaga, Spain”. Photography is part of a series of reports that includes Spanish housing of the time. If AI says no, I believe it. When the historian gave Grok the real documentation, artificial intelligence He was inflexible For hours, insisting that it was an “UMA error” and maintaining that it had “verified” the similarity with the American photo. Even after the historian gave him obvious visual direct and comparative links, Grok took almost two hours to recognize his mistake. The damage was already done, since the publications that took the verification of Grok ended up flooding the social network with thousands of visualizations. Meanwhile, the real verification of the historian (and other users such as @Remusokamias it reminds us in their thread) barely accumulated at the beginning a fraction of what the rest of the publications that viralized Grok’s wrong response achieved. A major problem. On the platform The use of Grok has been normalized To perform all kinds of checks before user publications. “Grok, explain this” or “Grok, is this right?”, They are increasingly common expressions in X, where millions of users have begun to delegate to the verification and understanding tasks that traditionally required to contrast diverse sources. And of course, at least today, blind trust in these tools can generate Large -scale misinformation. We have already lived it over the last years after the AI ​​boom, a consequence that, given the growing refinement of these tools, goes to adults. In polarized contexts when any information can be instrumentalized politically, AI can also become a dangerous tool. Especially for its ability to Generate quick and verify responses to contrast certain facts. Luckily, this case has not been serious, but reflects the massive adoption of AI tools and how much we begin to trust them.

The US is dismantling the chips law. His blow will fit the semiconductor industry throughout the planet

by

Donald Trump is fulfilling what he anticipated both during the electoral campaign and after returning to the White House. The Chips Law Approved in July 2022 By the government of Joe Biden He has never liked him. Has made it very clear in statements such as this last January: “In the very close future we will impose tariffs on foreign production of computer chips, semiconductors and pharmaceutical products to return the manufacture of these essential goods to the US (…) went to Taiwan; now we want them to return. We do not want to give them billions of dollars in the ridiculous driver program. They already have billions of dollars.” Three months before, in October 2024, I had already charged ferocity against this program of the previous administration In Joe Rogan’s podcast: “We put millions of dollars on the table so that rich companies came, they borrow the money and build chip companies here. And they will not give us the best companies.” The Department of Commerce has seized 7,400 million destined for chips During the electoral campaign the possibility that Donald Trump dismantled the Chips program if he arrived at the government was on the table. A priori the money that has already been delivered will not be returned to the administration, but a part of the funds remains in the hands of the Department of Commerce, which is currently led by Howard Lutnick. And the dismantling has already begun. As we explained last Friday, the US government plans Reassign at least 2,000 million dollars coming from the heading for research and manufacturing integrated circuits within the Chips Law. If this measure thrives these funds will be used to finance projects dedicated to obtaining and the processing of critical minerals. At the moment China controls extractionthe processing and distribution chain of a good part of this crucial strategic resource for many industries, such as integrated circuits, telecommunications, batteries or electric car, among others. The government plans to reallow at least 2,000 million from the game for the investigation and manufacture of chips However, this is not all. And it is that the US Department of Commerce has seized a fund of 7.4 billion dollars that was managed by the National Center for the advance of semiconductor technology (Natcast), which is a private non -profit organization. This money comes from the Chips program and was intended for the research and development of new technologies for semiconductors. The Department of Commerce has justified this seizure arguing that the creation of Natcast by the Biden Administration was an attempt to “avoid clear legal restrictions that They prohibit government agencies to create corporations“In addition, Secretary Lutnick has declared that this organization was “a bribe fund that did nothing but fill the pockets of loyal to Biden with dollars from US taxpayers.” A priori we might think that this measure only affects the US, but nothing is further from reality. Its impact will be received by the global semiconductor industry. American research has made fundamental contributions to the global integrated circuit industry, so the cut of funds for this item in the Chips Law will be a perceptible effect in this sector. As a button shows: the extreme ultraviolet radiation source (UVE) that they use ASML photolithography equipment It was developed by Cymer in the US. If we stick to Natcast’s role in the current semiconductor research, it is important that we do not overlook that this organization is involved in the construction of the extreme ultraviolet light accelerator (UVE) of Albany (New York). And also in the tuning of an Chips Research and Development Center in Tempe (Arizona). The Commerce Department has not yet confirmed What will you do with the 7.4 billion dollars That he has seized, so the future of New York and Arizona research facilities is uncertain.

What you rent is not a taxi, but only a driver for your car

by

Forget everything you know about taxis and VTC. The new in China is not to rent the services of a vehicle with its driver, but to rent only the services of a driver. The alternative, especially for those who return from a party night, seems perfect. Hello, I need a driver. In this type of service the client performs the request through a mobile app that geolocates, and after confirming the request, the magic arrives. Minutes later comes the driver we had asked and will take us where we want with our own car. These types of applications are known as Dàijià (代驾) (“designated driver”) and are present in the country For years. Skateboards. The curious thing, in addition, is how that driver comes, that when he appears he does it with an electric scooter (or perhaps a compact electric bicycle), something that allows him to move from one point to another in the city where the service operates. Upon reaching your vehicle, that driver or designated driver folds the path and puts it in the trunk. Once it reaches destiny and park your vehicle, take out the stick of the trunk and leave with it. If you drink do not drive. Chinese laws are very hard with drunk drivers, and since 2011 the penalties are severe if the police detect one of these drivers. As in countries like Spain, these drivers are exposed to fines, suspension of driving card and even prison sentences. A social conflict. But it is that in China drinking is a especially important social practice, especially in the business world. Sharing a drink is a way that trust and bonds of union between those who do it. In fact, a traditional toast in China, “Ganbei” (干杯), means “empty cup”, and encourages everyone to finish their drinks even if it is also acceptable to drink only a little. Finishing drinks, yes, is seen as a sign of respect. A perfect solution. That conflict that exists between “having to drink” and driving its car has made this type of services Dàijià They have been located as an ideal solution for each other. A recent statement of the Ministry of Public Security indicated how there had been a significant drop in the number of mortal traffic accidents in the last decade. Li Jiangping, director of the Traffic Management Office, explained that the data is especially positive considering that since 2011 the number of motor vehicles has been increased by 89% and that of drivers by 123%. Millions of journeys. According to the Ministry, the number of accidents in which there were three or more fatal victims had fallen 59.3% since 2012. In that same statement the Ministry indicated that one of the factors of that fall in the accident is that “most people choose to use services of designated drivers after drinking, with the number of requests reaching an annual average of 200 million.” Two giants compete in China for that market. In China there are two great protagonists in this segment. On the one hand it is e-Daijiawhich cleared the land in 2011 upon discovering the service to millions of users. Until 2015 its market share was 90%, but in July of that year Didi launched its own service, Didi Daijiawhich integrated into its own application putting it easier than ever its millions of customers in China. That unleashed a price war that ended up benefiting users and, of course, these services, which have become a unique and interesting alternative to traditional VTCs and taxis.

Will Smith’s last concert has resulted in enormous public success. Public made with ia

by

Will Smith has been harshly criticized for publishing A promotional video of your tour in which the public, instead of being real, seems to have been generated or altered by artificial intelligence, showing details that are usually common in videos of this type. It is not the last controversy linked to AI, which seems to be impacting unexpected ways in the music industry. What Smith is, in fact, only one more than a gigantic phenomenon that is changing entertainment. False people. The video, shared on the official social networks of Will Smith (and that at the moment remains without withdrawing), promotes his tour ‘Based on a True Story’ and shows fans absolutely delivered in his performances. The visual anomalies were quickly detected by the commentators of the video: with blurred faces to the classic hands of six fingers, alien expressions or mutations of horror film. It is undoubtedly a curious decision at this point in Will Smith’s career, which delves into the authentic Public Relations Nightmare that the star is living. 27 Spotify tricks – Control your whole music like nobody! Since 2022 in free fall. Will Smith has been in an authentic image crisis that started when He glued a slap to chick rock at the Oscar ceremony. Since then, and despite some blockbuster such as ‘Bad Boys: Ride or Die’, his career is a real succession of ups and downs. After a decade without publishing music has edited an album that has gone unnoticed, despite his clear attempt that nostalgia for times where his image was impoluta plays in his favor. Such controversial decisions (and on the other hand, easily avoidable) as it prevents him from recovering control of the narrative of his career. The AI ​​in front of the music industry. A few weeks ago we talked about how, while real groups were from Spotify To show their disagreement with the investments of the CEO of the platform, they began to emerge false groups created by artificial intelligence. It is, again, a relevant detail in a sector of the entertainment industry that is increasingly influenced by the overwhelming presence of the IAS: It is estimated That by 2028, the music generated by AI could represent up to 60% of the income of the musical sector and 20% of the total reproductions on streaming platforms. AI in the composition. More and more, the tools managed by AI are part of the creative processes: Boomy and Jukebox allow to create music from text descriptions, but the processes are not exempt from controversy. In a recent interview, the young American rapper Babychiet recognized that composing chatgpt: introduce some initial clues on the platform about the song theme and then ask the AI ​​to develop from there. The controversy between those who defend that this process removes the human component to the songs and those who defend it as a legitimate tool is served. More false groups, more false albums. The group generated by AI that we commented above was The Velvet Slown, a folk band whose image and music was entirely created artificially, and adds millions of views. But this situation is acquiring new nuances: the British folk singer Emily Portman discovered in her official Spotify, Apple Music and other platforms profile A false album called ‘orca‘Composed of ten songs generated by artificial intelligence and that imitated his voice and musical style in a completely reliable way. Spotify has taken three weeks to eliminate the album from its profile, with the consequent criticism of real artists to the platform. It is another use of AI, not quite legitimate, to which we can get used to. Will Smith’s false public is easily identifiable, but … and when is it not? In Xataka | The problem is no longer that Spotify has been filled with artists AI: is that AI is “reviving” dead musicians

The hours worked are falling so much in the Netherlands that, unintentionally, they are adopting the four -day week

by

When talking about countries with high productivity, all eyes tend to Go to Germany or Ireland. However, the Netherlands has become a European reference when it comes to significantly reducing the volume of working hours in its days, naturally approaching the four -day week model. This trend attracts attention both for its impact on everyday life and for the country’s economic data, banishing alarmist theories About economic ruin. According to An analysis of the Financial Timesthe Dutch enjoy a high quality of life, partly thanks to their system of Flexible and well -paid employmentwhich has evolved to prioritize personal well -being over the traditional model Based on long days. Netherlands and its reduced day. According The published by the 4 Days Week FoundationThe Netherlands have structured its labor market so that the full day is not the most widespread model and a large part of the employees prefer to work less hours voluntarily. However, far from being conceived as a precariousness model, it has become an example of balance Between work and professional life. According to data Eurostat of 2023, the middle day in the Netherlands is the lowest in Europe with only 32.2 hours worked, compared to 36.4 hours in Spain or 35.5 hours in Ireland. According to the data published by the Financial Timesaround 50% of the Dutch work part -time, and the proportion is even greater among women, which reach up to 75%. Not only does you work less in part -time days. Beyond the obvious cut involved in working under a model of part -timefull -time days are also from the short ones in Europe with 39.1 hours, only surpassed by Denmark with 38.7 hours per week. In Spain, the Real full day It stands at 40.2 hours. Being shorter, the Dutch tend to compress it in four days instead of five. Bert Colejn, an Ing Bank economist, assured the Financial Times That “the four -day work week has become very, very common. I work five days, sometimes they criticize me for working five days!” Greater productivity and better salaries. The Eurostat data They emphasize that Holland is among countries with Greater productivity per hour worked, standing at 45.3 euros per hour, compared to 29.4 euros in Spain, but far from the productivity of the Scandinavian countries that or Ireland that exceed 60 euros per hour worked. This conjunction of high productivity and reduced days has caused a situation of salary precariousness to be generated, but, on the contrary, Holland has maintained wages above the European average. According to Eurostatthe average of the gross salaries of Holland, adjusted by purchasing power (PPA), is 16.2 euros per hour, while in Spain it is 11.8 euros per hour. The European average is 14.9 euros per hour. Netherlands does not have four -day work week. In strict terms, the Netherlands have not applied any day reduction policy (such as Yes, Spain tries to do it) or four -day workday. However, almost without proposing it, the Dutch labor market has adjusted so that, at the practical level, its companies have implemented the working day of four days without wage reduction after decades of conciliation policies.

340 million euros that threaten to take it to bankruptcy

by

Benidorm is usually news for its enormous flow of tourists or the considerable pressure that these exercise in their public services. Now it is for something very different and much more delicate: its City Council appears to Financial abyss. Literally. An ancient litigation that dates back to two decades threatens to force him to pay the whopping 340 million of euros, a complicated sum for any town in Spain but that in the case of the Almeria town is a Damocles sword: it is equivalent to 2.5 years of budget. The Consistory Keep the battle In court to avoid payment, but He already warns that assuming would force him to do without employees and cut services. What happened? That curves are guessed in the urban, economic and judicial future of Benidorm, one of the great mecas of national tourism. Although there is nothing firm yet, the City Council of the Alicante town faces The threat to have to pay more than 340 million of euros due to an agreement reached in 2003 with land owners located in Serra Gela. To get an approximate idea of ​​what would mean such a disbursement for the Benidormean coffers, it is good to remember that in the municipal budget of last year it was 142 million of euros. Why is it in that situation? To answer that question, it is necessary to go back a couple of decades, to 2003, when the City Council, headed by Vicente Pérez Devesa (PP), reached an agreement with two societies that had urban rights on land of the APR-7 sector, two companies linked to Francisco Murcia Puchadesformer president of the Valencian promoters. What exactly agreed? As remember The countrythe farms in question were located in Serra, declared shortly after (July 2005) Natural Park. The idea of ​​the Alicante Consistory was to take these land and compensate for their owners with urban uses in other parts of the city. That was at least the theory, which gave rise to an agreement extended in 2010 and 2013. And what happened? That the thing was complicated. The years passed, the extensions followed and the agreement did not go from paper. The former owner of the land of Serra Gelado claimed his right to compensation and the Consistory questioned The validity of the agreements since the ordination of the Natural Park knocked down the buildable that initially did the land. Two difficult positions that (as expected) have given rise to a long and complex judicial process, still open, but that has been clearing during the last year. His most recent chapter arrived only two months ago, In Junewhen the Superior Court of the Valencian Community threw a jug of cold water at the claims of the City Council and gave the reason to the former owners of the land. The ruling ratifies an earlier sentence, from May 2024, which considers the agreements signed more than two decades. That does not mean that the Consistory has thrown the towel. In fact already He has resorted to the Constitutional Court. Why is it so serious? Beyond the political debate and the padding of reproaches to which the lawsuit has given rise, the case is serious for a simple reason: the economic repercussions it can have for Benidorm. Seeing that the agreement not executed the former owners of the land requested an assessment that raised the price of the land to 280 million of euros. A considerable amount to which interests are added, which would now exceed 60 million. In total More than 340 millionsuch a high sum that would be equivalent to more or less two and a half years of municipal budget. The Consistory He has already warned That if you are forced to pay them, it would stay against the strings, so it claims the precautionary suspension of the payment, remembering that it keeps open other litigation related to the same case that “they are giving the reason” to the city. “The people of Benidorm asks the Constitutional Court to declare that the fundamental right of the Benidorm City Council has been violated to effective judicial protection without defenselessness and there are consequences,” Crows The mayor. What would he mean for the City Council? You talk of technical bankruptcy. And the City Council has not taken in warn Of the serious consequences that a payment of such caliber would have in its day to day, including the dismissal of employees or the suppression of public services. A few weeks ago the local government warned that disbursement would lead to “a damage of impossible or difficult repair” and that it would need to resort to state or autonomous financing to assume it. The lawyer who represents the owners says that they seek to “open a dialogue to avoid the breakdown”, but the solution does not seem simple: if something does not have plenty of urban land is available urban land of municipal ownership with which to compensate them, as remember The confidentialwhich slides that the city has projected for decades urbanizable land in the Levante plan. Are there more options? Benidorm is a peculiar municipality. Although you only have censored 74,600 neighbors His tourist pole condition gives him a considerable floating population. A recent study The monthly average of visitors in more than 252,000, a figure that is triggered in summer: in August it exceeds 2.1 million. The same report estimates that in its greatest day the city reaches peaks of more than 360,000 people, including residents and visitors. Such a avalanche of tourists affects the pressure that the City Council supports and the demand for municipal services. In summary, there is a considerable difference between the needs that correspond to the census and real population, inflated by visitors, which translates into A huge “hole” of millionaire infinance. The payment of a millionaire compensation would aggravate that imbalance. In his favor, the Alicante City Council has possible revenues derived from tourism, as a sector rate that today its mayor You don’t see … Read more

Starship ended as an orange after flight 10. Spacex has not explained the reason, but the Internet has its theories

by

Starship’s tenth test has been a resounding success. The highest rocket in history took up a lot of expectation after three failed pitches, but this time one by one fulfilled the objectives of the mission. What surprised many was the orange color that the ship had when it merited in the Indian Ocean, a tone that we had not seen so far. Extreme suffering. After displaying Starlink Satellites simulators for the first time, Starship 37 lit an engine in the exorbitant space. It was then that Spacex tested the structure of the ship. An especially hard reentry angle, a series of aggressive maneuvers with the ailerons and a deliberately incomplete thermal shield made the ship suffer, but never disintegrated or stop maneuvering. Unlike flights 7, 8 and 9, which did not have a controlled reentry, flight 10 has allowed Spacex to collect an incalculable amount of data to improve Starship’s most critical and green part: Your reusable thermal shield. And it is precisely the thermal shield in the rocket belly that seems to have acquired an orange color after 26,000 km/ha 12 km/h. But how did that rusty tone occur if the thermal tiles are ceramic? A buoy and a mystery. Although Spacex has not yet pronounced on the subject, the images of the Ship 37 issued live from a buoy in the Indian Ocean called the attention of fans and aerospace experts equally. While the ship’s belly seems to have churruscado, the main theories do not point to The tiles fall Or they were burned, but for something deposited on them. The location of the experimental metal tiles at the vertex of the orange cone A refrigerant leak. The hypothesis that has gained the most force is the one that points to one of the key experiments of this flight: a metal tile with active cooling In the upper part of the thermal shield. Unlike the usual ceramic tiles, which are passive insulators, this experimental piece leaves circular cohete refrigerant to dissipate heat. The theory, supported by Analysts like Scott Manleysuggests that the tile with active cooling could have suffered a leak. The refrigerant fluid (perhaps methane of the rocket itself), by escaping and coming into contact with the incandescent plasma of the reentry, would have been burned and deposited throughout the fuselage, creating that characteristic feature of orange -shaped cone color that is appreciated in the images. In fact, the location of the experimental tile It coincides perfectly with the vertex of the orange area. Other possibilities. A non -exclusive theory is that experimental metal tiles (there were others on board without active refrigeration) They will simply oxidize Due to the extreme temperatures of the reentry, leaving that trail of oxide color. What seems clear is that we are not seeing the result of a ablation. Starship silica tiles are reusable insulating, not ablative shields that disintegrate by design. If the tiles had worn up to the point of exposing the ablative material underneath, we would be talking about a catastrophic failure of the system. A torture laboratory. This visual result, far from being a failure, is the direct consequence of Spacex experiments for this flight. The Starship 37 has gone through an authentic test bench for the thermal shield, which Elon Musk himself has pointed out as The main technological stumbling block of the program. On this flight, Spacex withdrew tens of tiles in key areas to see how the lower structure endured. At the same time, he added metal tiles and with active cooling to look for more resistant alternatives in areas of maximum thermal stress. And softened the edges of some tiles to mitigate the hot points observed in previous flights. In summary, the orange color of the Starship does not seem to be a sign of a catastrophic failure, but the visible footprint of an experiment taken to the limit.
