Blue Origin’s space tourism numbers have been leaked and they are crazy

A few years ago I saw a Spanish civilian cross the Kármán line leaving our planet was a generational event. Today, space tourism is about to normalize what was extraordinary and we have the clearest example in Alberto Gutierreza 42-year-old businessman from Valladolid and founder of the platform Civitatis who this Thursday managed to be the fourth Spaniard to theoretically reach space. His story. He did it on board the NS-38 mission from Blue Origina flight of just ten minutes that takes off and lands in Texas, but which represents another milestone in the private space race and consolidates the profile of the “tourist-astronaut” with a high heritage behind him. Because the truth is that it is not something very economical. 10 minutes. Takeoff took place at 10:26 CST (16:26 Spanish peninsular time) from the Blue Origin Launch Site One in Van Horn, Texas. The ship used was, once again, the reusable New Shepard system, a rocket designed specifically for suborbital tourism. All this with a plan that has followed the “Swiss clock” script to which we are accustomed in these missions. At the moment of launch the ship’s engine accelerated until it exceeded the March speed 3, and when it was already at a good altitude, the capsule was undocked and continued to ascend up to 106 kilometers above sea level, exceeding the Kárman line which is located at 100 km altitude. Weightlessness. But the experience sought with this type of attraction is to experience the phenomenon of weightlessness for a few minutes. Specifically, there were 3 minutes in which Gutiérrez was able to unhook himself from his seat belt to observe the curvature of the Earth while he was literally floating in space. It hasn’t been cheap. Although Blue Origin maintains official secrecy about the dynamic prices of its tickets, the sector has quite clear figures. And to enjoy these three minutes of weightlessness you only have to pay $150,000 just for admission to reserve your seat. But it does not logically stop here, since industry sources and leaks Previous estimates place the total cost of the ticket at around one million dollars. A price that not only pays for experience, but also for status. More and more difficult. With this type of space excursions aimed at the richest on our planet, the truth is that an interesting debate opens up about the label of “astronaut.” Although technically the Kármán line has been crossed with this trip, the FAA modified its criteria in 2021 to narrow it down much more. In this case, it no longer provides commercial astronaut wings to space tourists, but opts for a simple registration on its website. That is why for the agency, being a passenger is not the same as being an operational crew, although surely for all those who participate here it is a great life experience that is undoubtedly spatial. It’s not the first. As we have said, with this flight, Alberto Gutiérrez puts his name on a very short list. Before him, only three Spaniards had crossed the space border: Pedro Duque, Michael López-Alegría and Jesús Calleja. Although it is clear that this is an experience that is quite limited to those people who have a large wealth and decide to invest it in a unique experience. Last minute surprise. The NS-38 mission has not been without logistical setbacks. The original crew of six underwent a change just three days before launch, as Andrew Yaffe had to retire due to illness on January 19, being replaced by Dr. Laura Stiles. And there was luck with this replacement, since its inclusion allowed the launch date to be maintained, which had a very limited launch window, in order to guarantee its safety.

the leaked audio of the Adamuz accident between the Iryo and Atocha driver

“There’s no train coming.” It is the key phrase of the audio that elDiario.es has been published exclusively and in which the conversation between the driver of the Iryo train and the command post is heard. The audio is extracted from the black box of the Italian train that, according to what is knownwould have derailed and seconds later would have been hit by an Alvia that was traveling in the opposite direction, being thrown to the side of the track and to the bottom of a four-meter embankment. The conversation between the driver and the control center traffic has raised all kinds of speculation but, for now, it is part of an investigation that is expected to be very long and that can extend for months. Therefore, trying to conclude what happened or what elements caused the first and second derailments are mere speculation. In fact, the president of Renfe himself, Álvaro Fernández Heredia, pointed out in the first hours that could not be definitively stated that the Alvia train had collided with the Italian vehicle. Audio and its implications In the leaked audios, Iryo’s driver contacts the command center in Atocha to which he explains that he has had “a hitch” on the track. From there they ask him for a contact telephone number and to lower the pantographs, to which the driver responds that he has already carried out the operation. The pantographs are the elements that connect the train with the catenary and, therefore, with the electrical network. A hitch occurs when there is a problem with the pantograph or catenary. In that case, the train is stopped and may suffer a strong deceleration, like a kind of anchor that prevents it from continuing to move forward. In fact, the driver himself explains in the audio that the train is completely blocked. At that point, the communication is cut off and (if there is no skipped audio in between) the driver informs Atocha that has suffered a derailment and is occupying the adjacent track. At that moment, he requests that traffic be stopped immediately and from the command post they assure him that “there is no train arriving.” Next, the person in front of the Iryo train requests that they send emergency services, from ambulances to firefighters, because there is a car on fire and there are injured people on board. The driver then reports that he is leaving the cabin and the audio cuts out. From the audio it is striking that no reference is made to the Alvia (Renfe) train which, it is assumed, would have collided with the Iryo cars and subsequently derailed. Neither the driver nor the command center are aware that this has happened, which opens up two possibilities. With no official information still on the table, what we have remains mere speculation. One possibility is that the impact of the Alvia occurred almost immediately after the derailment with the Iryo and hit it slightly but enough so that the driver, in a stressful situation trying to emergency brake his vehicle, did not notice it. A blow, however slight, at more than 200 km/h could have caused the second derailment and explains why the trains were found 700 meters apart. If this is the case, it is also possible that the driver did not realize at first (in that period between communications in which he announces that he is going to verify the situation of his train) that there is a second accident vehicle because the distance and the fall to the embankment would have hidden the Alvia. Two competing theories This possibility is what the Minister of Transport himself, Óscar Puente, has pointed out. Initially, a time gap of about 20 seconds was targeted between the departure of the first Iryo and the impact of the Alvia. The proximity between both trains would not have allowed the security system warn of the obstacle on the track and stop the train. Now, Puente believes that barely nine seconds passed between the derailment of the Iryo and the impact of the Renfe train. The head of Transportation ensures This would explain why the driver is not aware that a second train has collided with his vehicle. The other possibility is that the Alvia had not yet reached the accident area when the engineer contacted the command post on the second occasion. However, Puente has indicated that the second communication occurs “between three and four minutes after the first”. This means that, if the Alvia train had not collided or had not passed next to the Iryo at the time of the accident, it would have to be more than 13 kilometers from the event, which is the distance a train travels at 200 km/h in four minutes. Tweet from Óscar Puente showing the map of the command post with the situation of the trains In Xataka We have contacted SEMAF (Spanish Union of Railway Machinists) who explain that the LZB system sends information with the position of the train to the command post. There, the train appears on a map like the one shown in this image uploaded by Minister Óscar Puente. On this map you can see how the trains move forward, with their position updated every so often. On each line, they explain, there is a section manager who must remain attentive to the position of each train. For this reason, they say, there are several possibilities but they make it clear that the reasons can be multiple. They explain that there are two possibilities that resonate more strongly. One of them is that the Alvia sent its position past Iryo’s vehicle almost immediately after the crash and from the command post they believed that no train was coming in the opposite direction, which is what was mentioned to the driver of the Italian train. The second is that the Alvia “disappeared” from the map due to Particularities of the LZB system or because damage had occurred on the … Read more

Rosalía’s new album has been leaked two days before its release. Actually, it suits you very well.

One of the most careful and meticulously planned promotions in recent times has received a bucket of cold water: the new album by Rosalia‘Lux’, which was scheduled to be released this Friday, November 7, has been leaked on social networks. The question, more than “How did it happen?” It’s more like “How could it have happened at this point?” First notice. A first notice of the leak came with the sudden appearance on Spotify of the second preview song from the album, ‘Reliquia’yesterday Tuesday. It only lasted on the platform streaming a few minutes and was removed almost immediately. What was initially understood as a marketing maneuver was soon identified by the artist’s record label, Columbia Records, as an error on the part of the company’s parent company in the United States. Apparently, ‘Reliquia’ was planned to be a preview prior to the release of ‘Lux’, but not yesterday, Monday. What does ‘Relic’ tell us? The quickest listeners also had the opportunity to look at the song’s credits: no less than seven co-writers, including, in addition to Rosalía herself, the American Ryan Tedder. He is a member of the OneRepublic collective, and has gained some fame as a successful songwriter for stars of many different styles, such as Adele, Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran and Beyoncé. Of course, there are already theories that speak of a premeditated leakand which can be read as a message in tune with the spirituality planned in ‘Lux’. Another leak. After ‘Reliquia’, the entire album has been seen on social networks and platforms such as Telegram in files titled ‘Lux Leak’, which has clashed with a millimeter promotional campaign that Columbia Records was preparing. Among other planned actions, there is an appearance next Monday in Broncano’s ‘La Revuelta’ or a private presentation party this Thursday, to which will be added a performance at the LOS40 Music Awards Santander 2025 gala this Friday, the day of the album’s release. The record company has not made an official statement. She’s not the only one. Rosalía is, of course, not the only one who has recently suffered leaks. In 2024 and 2025, someone had access to almost all of Drake’s new album, leaking seven songs and various unreleased materials. In 2024, 100 GB of unreleased content was leaked. In October, Taylor Swift’s ‘The Life of a Showgirl’ It was leaked hours before its official launchwhich even extended to physical copies that some fans received ahead of time. Previously, Swift had suffered leaks of demos and unreleased songs. The almighty K-pop combo BTS too suffered them in 2025although here we do have the culprit: a producer from his record company, who leaked demos of an upcoming album, forcing his label to modify the strategies for this future album. How good it is for you. Although officially, and beyond fan theories, the leak was an accident, the truth is Rosalía She is not going to be harmed by this situation.quite the opposite. The fact that it happened only two days before the worldwide launch not only does not hurt in material terms, but it means that we already spend several days talking about the subject before it arrives. The conjecture is not crazy: it is suspected that Madonna herself, who Today he praised Rosalía’s workhe did (supposedly) with ‘Rebel Heart’, Korn with ‘Untouchables’, and Beyoncé with ‘4’ and ‘Renaissance’. The line between the leak and the mystery teaser is very fine. What will come on Friday. Just a couple of days should not greatly affect next Friday’s launch. ‘Lux’ is Rosalía’s fourth studio album and contains 18 songs in its physical edition. It was recorded in collaboration with the London Symphony Orchestra and promises to be an ambitious work where classical music and experimental pop collide, and where themes linked to feminine mysticism and a certain desire for transcendence will be played. The lyrics are in 13 different languages, including Catalan, Spanish, Arabic, English, French, German, Hebrew and Japanese.

For years they leaked murders and violations for Facebook in Barcelona. Now they claim 4 million to the goal for psychological damage

Goal had a moderation center in Barcelona that was responsible for monitoring its contents. Had. Telus Digital, the subcontracting company, closed its facilities in April. Now, twenty -nine of their then content moderators They have filed a criminal complaint against Meta and its Barcelona subcontractor for the mental damage suffered after years filtering external material.

The best performance workers were “promoted” to high priority tail, where the most disturbing content arrived. Yes, but. Companies knew that many employees would lead to “serious psychic pathologies” but did not implement protection measures.

In 2023 it was uncovered that between 20% and 25% of Télus template was decline, many for psychological reasons. Meta definitely closed the Barcelona center a few weeks ago, dismissing the entire squad after dispense with moderation servicesthat now remain in the hands of the users themselves, as in X.

The US has drawn its polygraph. The person who leaked that Elon Musk has the secret plan of a war with China is sought

The story began Last Thursday. Apparently, the Pentagon had organized an informative meeting for Elon Musk. So far, all more or less “normal” The government role who has obtained the richest man in the world since Trump was re -elected. The problem was the task of the apparent meeting, According to the New York Times: Put Musk aware of the Military Secret Plan that has in the United States before a possible war war with China. The schism has been such that Pentagon itself seeks at this time to the culprit. Presidential denial. After the Times articlePresident Donald Trump did not take long in reject publicly The possibility that Musk has access to secret military plans related to a potential conflict with China. As we said, according to the newspaper, Musk would have been scheduled to receive a high -level informative session in the Pentagon on US military strategies against Chinawhat aroused concern due to their extensive commercial links With that country. Trump denied the existence of this session and said that, although Musk is significantly helping the government, identifying “waste, fraud and abuse,” It would not be appropriate Sharing high sensitivity information, emphasizing that, in his opinion, Musk himself would not want to put himself in that position. The visit and multiple interpretations. Musk, CEO of Spacex and Tesla, in addition to part -time government advisor, visited the pentagon the day after the exclusive Times, on Friday, March 22, and said A private meeting Of more than an hour with the Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, and with the Vice Chief of the Joint General Staff, Admiral Christopher W. Gray. Originally, according to two officials cited by the TimesMusk was going to be received in “The Tank”, a high security conference room within the building, to discuss defense strategies in case of a confrontation with China. It was also mentioned that the meeting would include Admiral Samuel J. Paparo, head of the United States Indo-Pacific Command. However, this last session seems that It was finally canceled After the publication of the article. Musk finally met at the Office of the Secretary of Defense, not in the “Safe Sala”, which could have limited access to classified material. Postures and ambiguity. During an event in the Oval office in which Trump and Hegseth announced a new defense contract for the new Air Force hunting, Both denied The version of Times, describing it as “a false story.” Hegseth insisted that the visit It was informal and revolved around government efficiency issues. Trump claimed to have learned of the alleged classified session Through the newspaper And he declared that he had called his chief of Cabinet and Hegseth to confirm the veracity of the information, who discarded it as absurd. Despite this, Trump took the opportunity to underline that, due to Musk’s businesses in China, It would be reckless Share sensitive military plans, marking one of the clearest limits so far regarding the relationship between the tycoon and the administration. Lack of clarity. I counted in Another later article The Times there are areas Gray at the meeting. Neither Musk nor Hegseth answered questions from the press at the end of it. When questioned by a reporter of the Times about the content of the meeting, Hegseth replied Dry: “Why would I tell you?”, Before retiring without clarifications. A senior defense official, speaking under condition of anonymity, said Musk attended to provide, and not receive, an informative session focused on industrial policy and sharing experiences linked to their companies. Trump, meanwhile, He reaffirmed this version Subsequently, stating that the visit was related to Musk’s efforts to reduce the size of the government and improve the efficiency of public spending. Tension after controversy. Be that as it may, the United States Department of Defense has started formal investigationwhich includes the use of polygraph tests, to identify those responsible for internal leaks after the accusations arising around Musk’s recent visit to Pentagon. The decision was promoted after Musk itself publicly demandedthrough Your social network Xthe prosecution of Pentagon officials that would be disseminating “maliciously false information” about their relationship with the military institution. Criminal implications. Before the magnitude of the scandal, Joe Kasper, Hegseth Cabinet Chief, announced the immediate start of research to identify unauthorized leaks of information on national security. In a memorandum issued on March 21, Kasper indicated that the investigation will collect A complete record of unauthorized disseminations within the Department of Defense and will issue recommendations to improve confidentiality protocols. Who are responsible will be referred to criminal authorities corresponding for prosecution. This investigative offensive, which includes interrogations with lies detector, represents an unprecedented response within the American defense apparatus and reflects the level of concern generated by filtration. Tesla and China. The truth is that the controversy that has emerged is much less trivial, and has to do with the Musk’s delicate balance Between the two powers. Tesla, Musk’s automotive company, has been one of The big beneficiaries of Chinese policies in favor of electric vehicles. His factory in Shanghai is the biggest and company productive, and represents approximately 37% of its global sales. To fully operate in the country, Tesla has received incentivesregulatory approvals and privileged access to the market, including authorizations to display autonomous driving technology. Starlink and China. In parallel, Spacex and its Starlink satellite system, essential for the operations of the Department of Defense, place Musk in a dual position: as a key supplier for the national security of the United States and as an entrepreneur with strong interests in a rival power. Dissonance becomes even more evident for the past comments of Musk himself, who Taiwan has described as “an integral part of China” and has proposed a reintegration model similar to Hong Kong’s, ideas that have been Well received in Beijing But harshly criticized by Taipei and by US officials.

The code names of the four phones in the series are leaked

The Pixel 10 have been leaking some details to get closer to next summer in which its launch is expected, since last year Google brought forward the presentation date of the Pixel 9. An internal Google source has shared certain documents that confirm the Pixel 11 codenames which will be released next year. A leak that skips the next Google devices this year, since the first that would be presented is the Pixel 9a to replace the Pixel 8a last year launched in Spainand then the Pixel 10 series for its launch next summer as the station of choice for the technology giant. The internal source has given some documents to Android Authority and thus know the code names that are usually of unique animal species. For example, for the Pixel 11 the denominator theme is going to be the bear, and it is not at all something new for Google use certain names according to a theme; For older versions of Android it always used dessert names like KitKat (Android 4.4), Lollipop (Android 5.0) or Marshmallow (Android 6.0). Each of the mobile phones that make up the Pixel 11 series, and which is surprising for still being four models so that the folding mobile follow another of the protagonistshave their only name as one of the most dangerous subspecies and animals on the planet, the grizzly bear: Pixel 11: “cubs” or “4CS4”. Pixel 11 Pro: “grizzly” or “CGY4”. Pixel 11 Pro XL: “kodiak” or “PKK4”. Pixel 11 Pro Fold: “yogi” or “9y14”. Pixel 9 Pro Chema Flores The Free Android The references are more than clear and “cubs” are for bear cubs, while “grizzly” for one of the subspecies that lives in North America and “kodiak” for the Alaskan brown bear. The last one is “yogi”, inspired by the mythical cartoon character that for so many decades entertained so many generations. Android Authorirty has given more details and it is about the chip that each of the Pixel 11 series models will use: the G6 tensioner with the code name “malibu”. All four will launch sometime in the second half of 2026, so there is a lot of room to maneuver to continue with the same 2024 strategy or make some changes. The Pixel 10a would be another of the protagonists 2026 and its code name is also known: “stallion” or “STA5”. This mobile phone is in a very early stage of development and according to what it maintains Android Authority According to Google, it is considering bringing a completely customized Tensor G5 to the mid-range mobile or staying with the chip designed by Samsung, the Tensor G4. The reason for passing G5 tensioner It would be due to its larger size, since it measures much larger than itself. Apple A18 Prowhich would increase its production cost and possible price; leaked just in autumn 2024. The ideal would be a custom Tensor G6 chip, although it would be quite complicated since the Pixel 10a is launched before the Pixel 11. There is a lot left for these devices and the next one would be the Pixel 9a for the month of March, which will arrive to break some of the patterns that Google has been accustoming the user to, and be a different mobile phone in specifications compared to its older brothers; The previous Pixel 8a and 7a did not represent a big change in the experience according to their specifications.
