17:01 this Friday, February 27. That was the deadline that the United States gave Anthropic to grant full powers to the Pentagon about the use of your AI. It is your software that is fully integrated with Palantir and the Department of Defense systems, but the US believes it has a problem: Anthropic has tied its AI to some moral rules that shouldn’t exist. So this week Defense sent them a message: either they give them an AI without restrictions or there will be consequences. And Anthropic has answered with a resounding “no.” Monumental friction. Here we are not facing a conflict between companies: it is a company against its Government. Anthropic offered its AI to the Pentagon for integration into its systems. He did it at a symbolic price: one dollar. The Pentagon accepted and the response was a $200 million contract. The Department of Defense began integrate Anthropic AI into your systemswith everything that entails: full access to documents that no one outside the Pentagon can access. The US also wants be a field toolbut there is a problem: that AI is ‘programmed’ so that it cannot be used for mass surveillance of American citizens, for the development of weapons or for the use of autonomous weapons. This is precisely what the Pentagon wants to do. The Secretary of Defense sent a message to Anthropic: or they give them AI without limits or they make them a Huawei. These are my principles. We imagine that they have been some intense days, but Dario Amodei, CEO of the company, has answered on its blog. His opening sentence is powerful: “I deeply believe in the existential importance of using AI to defend the United States and other democracies to defeat our autocratic adversaries.” Good start to what seems to be a statement in which he gives in, but… no. After a review of what they have “given up” so that their AI is in the Department of Defense systems and criticize that the US removes the tasting from the Defense Production Act of 1950 to terrorize an Anthropic that will go public this year, the resolution is firm: “we cannot agree in good conscience to the request.” The company is clear that its AI can be very helpful to the Government, but it continues to oppose, mainly, two specific uses: Mass espionage because AI can put together complete databases of anyone’s life. The use of autonomous weapons that cannot be trusted for decision making, since they do not have the judgment that a professional soldier does (or that a professional soldier should have). An AI does not question, has no remorse, does not wonder if it is right or wrong or if the goal is a false positive. An AI… executes. We have breastfed for you. In the statement, Amodei launches almost a plea, a “with everything I have given you,” stating that this commitment to the leadership of the United States has been against the interests of the company itself. They point out that they have given up “several hundred million dollars to prevent Claude from being used in companies linked to the Chinese Communist Party” and that this cost some attacks by China, with some of their companies trying to abuse Claude. And it is an open letter, a declaration of intent that has been endorsed by competitors’ employees. For 219 from Google and another 65 from OpenAI. Many have given their names, many others have signed anonymously, but all with the same goal: to reject the Department of Defense’s demands to use their models for mass surveillance and “autonomously kill people without human supervision.” “In any case, these threats do not change our position: we cannot in good conscience agree to your request” There is no middle ground. No matter how nice and romantic the statement from Google and OpenAI employees sounds, the reality is different. They are challenging the Government, a Government that is continually demonstrating that it is going to execute whatever they want (there is ICE, the climate movements, the departure of the WHO, tariffs or threats to partners and allies). And the problem is that Anthropic has a lot to lose, much more than that $200 million that is pocket change in the context of AI investments. If they give in, it would mean taking a step back in an almost founding aspect of the company. If they do not give in, they become the “prestige brand” of AI. They demonstrate that they have the model that today’s most technologically advanced army needs and that they are untouchable, at least as long as a United States that is already moving towards alternatives such as Google, X and OpenAI finds an alternative. But they run the risk of, as we said, being blacklisted by the US. The Government has threatened to condemn Anthropic to being a company that poses a “supply chain risk”. As Amodei points out in the statement, it is a label reserved for the country’s adversaries and has never been applied to an American company. It would put Anthropic in the same bag as Huawei and other Chinese companies and would prevent the rest of the American partners from making deals with them. But, even if they do not give in, the US can take over AI by force with the letter of the Defense Production Act. Through this decree, if they consider that this tool is necessary and essential for national security, it does not matter what Amodei says. On the roof of the Pentagon. That’s where the ball is right now, and time is running out. As we said before, it is not an operation between companies, it is not a fight between politicians: it is a company that is being threatened by its own country. A threat that is a “give this to us by fair means or we will take it from you by bad means”. In any case, we have to wait to see how … Read more

an idea as ambitious as it is risky

by

The United States has a company that wants to take artificial intelligence beyond the laboratory. It’s called Shield AI and its next creation, the X-BATaims to make it the protagonist of a new era in defense. It is a combat aircraft capable of taking off and landing vertically, but its most striking feature is not in the design, but in its pilot: an AI system called Hivemind that will make decisions for himself in mid-flight. The project seeks to demonstrate that a machine can direct a complex military mission as effectively—or more—than a human. Shield AI She is not a newcomer. Founded in 2015, it has gone from a small startup to one of the most promising companies in American defense. CNBC points out that is valued at $5.3 billion after its latest round of financing. His career includes relevant contracts with organizations such as the United States Coast Guard, which in 2024 awarded him almost 200 million dollars for his V-BAT drone. After that boost, the company redoubled its commitment to artificial intelligence, placing its Hivemind software as the axis of its strategy and its future combat aircraft. This is how Shield AI wants to reinvent air power: total autonomy and low cost The X-BAT is designed to operate where conventional fighters cannot. It can take off and land vertically, allowing it to operate from ships, remote islands or improvised bases without the need for a runway. With a range of more than 2,000 nautical miles (approx. 3,700 km) and a flight ceiling exceeding 50,000 feet, it aims to redefine autonomy on the battlefield. Its compact structure, with a wingspan of about 12 metersfacilitates transportation and storage: three units fit in the space occupied by a single traditional fighter. As we say, the real leap is not in the aircraft, but in the intelligence that governs it. The company assures that Hivemind, its autonomous flight system, has already been validated on different platforms and real test environments. According to the company, it can operate even when there is no GPS or communication with bases, which would allow it to keep the mission active in scenarios where a human pilot could not react as quickly. Shield AI describes Hivemind as a system capable of observing, deciding and acting in milliseconds, applying a continuous decision cycle inspired by the military doctrine of the “OODA loop”. According to Shield AI, the X-BAT is designed to go into combat. It can carry air-to-air and air-to-surface weapons both in its internal bays and in external mounts. The company details that its architecture supports everything from light missiles to long-range attack munitions, in addition to a set of active and passive sensors that cover the entire detection spectrum. These include a electronic warfare package which would allow it to operate in environments with signal interference or attacks. Altogether, it seeks to combine stealth, autonomy and offensive power in a single system. Shield AI’s economic proposal is one of the most striking arguments: the company claims that the X-BAT could be produced for around $27 million per unit, a figure that – if confirmed in production – would be a fraction of the cost of fighters like the F-35, whose unit price exceeds 100 million dollars. This difference would not only reduce the initial bill, but, according to the company, would allow more aircraft to be deployed and multiply sorties in a theater of operations; However, the expected cost reduction depends on economies of scale, supply chain and maintenance costs that are not yet demonstrated in mass production. Shield AI ensures that the development of the X-BAT is progressing according to the planned deadlines. The company claims to have completed wind tunnel, engine and structural section testing, as well as radar signature testing. Its objective is to carry out the first flights with vertical takeoff and landing in 2026, reach operational capacity in 2028 and start production in 2029. For now, this is an internal calendar and not a contractual commitment, but the company presents it as a demonstration that aerial autonomy is no longer a laboratory idea, but a program under construction. The autonomy of the X-BAT also forces us to think about its digital security. Systems controlled by artificial intelligence depend on complex software and networks, which exposes them to possible attempts at interference or manipulation. If the data they process is altered, their behavior could be affected. Shield AI has not yet detailed how it plans to protect the aircraft’s information flow, although in defense programs it is not unusual for certain technical aspects to be kept under wraps.

Crossing the A-5 works on foot has become a risky sport. The Madrid City Council solution: AI

by

He burial of the A-5 It has become a headache for the neighbors. It is not only that traffic jams are the daily routine or that the works have forced the route to be diverted, creating a kind of Mario Kart where drivers have to avoid unexpected curves, unexpected exits or the appearance of cranes and heavy machinery. Pedestrians also begin to look with horror as his life becomes complicated every time they have to cross from one side of the highway to the other. The promise Being able to cross the road at the top of it surrounded by a park instead of dark and uninviting passageways is closer. But, for now, crossing from the Batán neighborhood to Lucero or Aluche is nothing short of a pipe dream. One in which the Madrid City Council has decided to intervene with artificial intelligence. With a little AI A couple of weeks ago, the large underground work on the A-5 appeared with a couple of unexpected traffic lights around Villagarcía Street, near the junction with Batán. The intention was to regulate traffic at one of the most complicated intersections in the area. Taking advantage of this unnecessary action, the neighbors began to demand that zebra crossings be set up so they could cross on foot to the other side of the road and have a quick access to the neighborhoods of Lucero and Aluche. In this way, residents would also have access, for example, to public transportation that circulates a little less than a kilometer from their homes, schools or work centers but which are much more difficult to reach on foot since the works began. Now we know that the Madrid City Council is going to take advantage of these works to also test one of the latest purchases announced: traffic lights with artificial intelligence. They explain in The World that current traffic lights already have cameras to control road traffic. This will help, taking advantage of an artificial intelligence system, to regulate traffic on demand. The traffic lights will detect the number of pedestrians waiting for the green light to turn and the system will decide when to let vehicles and pedestrians pass. Thus, it will open the way to the latter for a more or less time depending on demand. The area is conflictive because there are schools that are currently wedged between the Casa de Campo and the underground works of the A-5. With the installation of traffic lights with artificial intelligence, an attempt will be made to prioritize the passage of pedestrians at peak times when entering and leaving educational centers. The use of the system, as we said, is not new. a few weeks ago the Madrid City Council confirmed the installation of these systems in various parts of the capital, especially complicated by the large influx of pedestrians. For example, they already adjust the steps at the intersection of Calle Princesa and Alberto Aguilera, on the Segovia and San Isidro bridges (Madrid Río area) or in the Plaza de Grecia next to the Metropolitan Stadium where traffic lights with artificial intelligence regulate the passage if there are concerts or large events to improve fluidity.

Connecting to unknown networks can be risky for your personal data. Protecting you don’t cost even 2 euros per month

by

It is a reality: cyber attacks have become increasingly common. There is a lot of undesirable loose looking to get sensitive information, whether large companies or a user like us. If we work from home or we usually connect with our network we have a safety layer, but what if we use ourselves A network on which we don’t have any control? The good news is that there are several ways to protect our Internet traffic, wherever we are. The simplest, useful and effective way to do so is to use a VPN, and if we can afford it, better bet on one of payment. In fact, There are very cheap: Surfshark’s barely costs 1.99 euros a month. Protect your traffic and IP with a good VPN As we say, it exists A good variety of free VPNperfect if we need to use something at a timely moment. The problem they have is that, in addition to being little safe, They work limitedly in terms of traffic or speed volume. For this reason, the ideal is to bet on a payment like this Surfshark, which also has a great price. One of the advantages that this has is that We can install it in an unlimited number of devicesideal to take it in the laptop, on the mobile or on the tablet (or everywhere at the same time). With this, we can protect our Internet traffic, thus gaining a greater dose of privacy. Moreover, it also helps us hide our IP, information that is better to keep away from undesirable. Surfshark VPN is included in its Starter Plan, which also comes with another tool called ALTERNATIVE ID. With it, we can create a series of fictitious data to use them on web pages where we do not want to enter our real information. That way, we keep our personal data at a good collection. As we have commented before, for 1.99 euros A month we have a quality VPN. That means that its two -year plan comes out for a total price of 47.76 euros, a fairly affordable price to have this tool with us for a long season. There does not end the thing, because we will also receive three extra monthsin such a way that we will have surfshark for 27 months instead of 24.

The US has realized how risky it is to continue pressing China. His reverse looks for a “face to face”

by

The US is softening its export restrictions to China. In early July, the administration led by Donald Trump allowed Nvidia to sell Your H20 GPU To its Chinese clients. At the time This movement surprised us because it clearly indicated that an obvious change was consolidating in the US strategy in front of the nation governed by Xi Jinping. According to the newspaper Financial Times This relaxation of export restrictions to China seeks to “avoid damaging trade negotiations with Beijing.” And it is presumably this week US and China will resume their negotiation to establish the rules that will resolve their future commercial interests. As expected, this rudder of the US administration favors the interests of Nvidia, AMD, Broadcom and other companies, but not all members of the Trump administration support this initiative. According to Financial Timessome White House advisors are pressing the government to maintain their blockade to China. Nvidia needs TSMC to manufacture 300,000 H20 chips for China Donald Trump wants to meet “face to face” with Xi Jinping before he ends this year, again according to the information he has Financial Times. The intention of the US president is to file roughness with his Chinese counterpart with the purpose of promoting negotiation in commercial matters that both countries have maintained for many months. Just a few hours ago they have gathered in Stockholm (Sweden) Scott Besent, the US Treasury Secretary, and He Lifeng, the Vice Prime Minister of China, so it is evident that the negotiation follows its course. After many months of uncertainty the current scenario clearly benefits Nvidia. The company directed by Jensen Huang saw its survival in China threatened by The sanctions approved by the Department of Commerce from the US, but This volantazo changes everything. And its protagonist is the chip for artificial intelligence (AI) H20. The reception that Chinese clients of Nvidia initially gave to this GPU was very good despite the fact that the capabilities of this chip are clearly inferior to those of the other proposals for this company. After many months of uncertainty the current scenario clearly benefits Nvidia In fact, initially the Department of Commerce allowed its sale in China because this integrated circuit met the restrictions it had imposed. And despite its limitations its sales in China grew by 50% quarter to quarter since it reached this market in mid -2024. Everything was complicated for Nvidia in the middle of last April. And is that the US Department of Commerce imposed new restrictions To the export to China of the H20 GPU, which in practice caused this chip to stop reaching the Chinese clients of this company. This news sank Nvidia’s actions by 6% because it could no longer address the commitments linked to the H20 GPU it had acquired. Among the Chinese customers who had bought it Large amounts of this GPUand presumably planned to continue doing it, were Tencent, Alibaba or Bytedance. Finally Nvidia has achieved That the Department of Commerce review its regulation and allow you to sell the H20 GPU in China again. Surprisingly this scenario has put Nvidia in trouble. And, once again, the reception of the H20 GPU in China is being so good that this American company has run out of units. According to ReutersNvidia has commissioned TSMC for the manufacture of no less than 300,000 units of this chip to be able to respond to the current demand from China. Blessed problem. However, the company’s engineers have been working on A new GPU with Blackwell microarchitecture The latest generation that is intended to occupy in China the place of the H20 chip. In fact, presumably TSMC began in June the production of The B30 GPUwhich is how it seems to be called. What we know at the moment is that this chip for AI will be less capable than the H20 GPU, as is logical, and also that its price will move Between 6,500 and $ 8,000. For domestic users it is a lot of money, but in the field of professional GPUs for AI it is a moderate price. In fact, the H20 GPU costs between $ 10,000 and $ 12,000.

Disney has managed to resurrect the live-action thanks to ‘Lilo & Stitch’. The next on the list is much more risky

by

‘Lilo & Stitch’ has been one of the undisputed surprises at the 2025 box office. He not only exceeded the most warm expectations of Disney at his premiere, recovering his budget in just a couple of days. He has also put an end to the curse of remakes in real image of Disney classics, which carried a frankly terrible quality and box office. And now, all right, right? Well… Alien pepinazo. As We comment on the week of its premierethis remake of the 2002 animated classic raised worldwide 341 million dollars. Virtually half of that amount, 157.8 million, was in international markets, becoming the second best premiere of the year, only behind ‘A Minecraft movie‘. It has already folded the amount, with 610 million. In Spain, According to ComscoreIt was even better: 5.7 million euros at its premiere, and has already reached 11.57 million. Here it has been the best premiere of the year, providing a good oxygen ball to the battered state box office. An effective formula. ‘Lilo & Stitch ‘is the last success of a formula that until recently seemed infallible: remake in real image and with CGI effects the company’s animated classics. A apparently undressing idea That, although he has encountered critical voices that have always gone very well at the box office. Thus it was with one of the first of his style, ‘101 Dalmatas’, in 1996, and with the first of the current surge of remakes, the ‘Alice in the Wonderland’ of Tim Burton of 2010 and his sequel. And they still had to get the great successes. Tachillas and refritos. But from there they did nothing more to climb: ‘Cinderella’, ‘The book of the jungle’, ‘Maleficent’ … until they reached the two great bombings: ‘The beautiful and the beast’ in 2017, with 1,263 million collection, and ‘The León King’ in 2019, with 1,662 million. Two successes of criticism and public that settled the formula under which films were continued that, however, came across increasingly frequent criticisms, such as the rather terrible ‘Aladdin‘ and ‘Dumbo‘, both released the same year, 2019. Free fall. However, it was a formula that could not last forever. The public’s fatigue due to the patent lack of originality of Hollywood, and that has affected to franchises as successful as Marvel Or Star Wars also made a dent in this genre. It was seen, for example, in ‘Peter and the dragon’ or ‘mulán’ (also devalued by the moment it premiered, during the pandemic and directly in Disney+to boost the newly released platform). The last disasters have been ‘The Little Mermaid‘, very affected by the wear stormy promotion With its two faced protagonists. To all this are added a series of films that have barely echoed among the public and that in many cases theaters have been skipped, such as ‘Pinocchio’, ‘Peter Pan & Wendy’ or ‘The Lady and the Vagabundo’. And a couple of exceptions. However, the formula is not completely exhausted, or that should think of Disney. ‘Mufasa’, despite a lazy start, with a premiere well below expectations, honored the strength of the franchise of ‘El Rey León’ and endured all Christmas, adding 670 satisfactory millions of dollars. Incomparable with the collection of his predecessor, but still, one of the successes of 2024. And the case of ‘Lilo & Stitch’ already knows him. Why are you? The reason why these two have worked in seemingly adverse times for remakes is double: on the one hand, ‘MUFASA’ and ‘Lilo & Stitch’ are less conflictive in their delivery, and they have not had to endure discredit campaigns, Review-pumping and other tactics of harassment and demolition of Toxic fandom. On the other, there are two franchises with good health: ‘The Lion King’ is the most popular and blockbuster remake in the history of Disney; And Stitch is a phenomenon of merchandising Disney Recent: Annual Sales of Products related to the character have gone from 200 million dollars in 2019 to exceed 2.6 billion dollars in the last yearaccording to ‘The Wall Street Journal’. A future with doubts. But the thing does not end here, because there are no guarantees of success in the coming years. Some remakes have been affected by the prick at the ‘Snow White’ box office, such as ‘entangled’, whose production has been arrested. Of many there are almost no data, such as ‘The Humpback of Notre Dame’, ‘Hercules’ or ‘The Aristogatos’. But the authentic doubts are with ‘Vaiana’, scheduled for July 2026, and that involves a certain risk: its animated precedent is unusually close, 2016 and, in fact, a sequel to theaters has just released. Will you accuse this success more or less safe the wear of the formula? When we review the successes of 2024 (Among them, by the way, ‘Vaiana 2’), we talked about a problem that Hollywood cannot continue hiding for longer: all its blockbusters are sequelae, remakes or REBOOTS. It is a formula that supposes bread for today and hunger for tomorrow, and the best test is the remake in real image of ‘Vaiana’. It is as simple as this: Hollywood is running out of films to make remakes: the dead end inside a dead end.

Byd has opened a new price war in China. The fall of your actions confirms that it is a risky play

by

Remove muscle or a sign of weakness. That is what we ask ourselves when we see the last Byd movement in China where the company has applied aggressive discounts to its fleet. The movement has been rejected in the markets but shows that the company has strength to stir the market alone. The discounts. Last May 23, Byd announced a significant reduction in its Chinese fleet. In total, 22 cars received discountsincluding the Byd Seagull, the cheapest electricity in the market and one of the company’s great hits in the country, saw its price another 20%. It is the most striking example of discounts that began in April but have intensified in May. In some cases discounts of up to 34%have been established. A drop in actions. The market response, however, has been clear: a drop of 13% of its actions. It is the figure we have since May 23 were announced the discounts. Investors have seen a sign of weakness or, in any case, greater difficulties in taking out performance from vehicles if prices fall so strongly. And a high sales. 382,476 units. That is the number of units sold by byd last May 2025. It is the highest than we have been for the year and took the electric cars (204,369 units) above the plug -in hybrids (172,561 units), which did not happen since the beginning of 2024, they point out in Bloomberg. The growth of BYD sales comes, without a doubt, promoted by the attractive discounts that the company has put in the last week of May that, remember, add to those of April. In the absence of weekly data, so that we get an idea, Carnewschina Collect the data from May 19 to 25. Those days, Byd put 53,320 units of electric cars on the market. The following manufacturer was Tesla with 10,970 units. So? So, investors seem to be worried, among other things, about profitability. In fact, it is the Chinese association of car manufacturers itself that, without naming any manufacturer, has assured that “disorderly price wars intensify fierce competition, even more compressing corporate benefit margins,” according to Bloomberg. The same medium ensures that regulators have given a touch of attention to the company for fear that unleashing a price war can be carried in front of its competition. He always requested, always according to the American media, “loyal competition” to manufacturers not to generate a monopolistic context. An open war. What is clear is that with discounts, ByD opens a price war With the rest of the companies. At the moment, from Great Wall Motors they have assured that maintaining this path is the confirmation that we can attend the “automotive Evergrande”, in words collected by CNEVPOST. Although, again, no concrete names were given, the association points directly to Byd that is one of the manufacturers that does not sell the most cars seems to have in the market. In fact, the media have also reported that regulators have summoned a meeting with manufacturers to work in The treatment of kilometer 0 vehicles. Why has Byd opted for this? There are several reasons that explain why the Chinese company has undertaken an open race to reduce the prices of its cars. It has a large stock of unsold cars to those who need to give way after Their own promises left them obsolete Its great objective is to sell 5.5 million cars. That would force him to get into almost half a million monthly vehicles and he is not getting it at the moment It is an opportunity to clean the market and get companies in competition. Your sales muscle allows you to press more than anyone in the market and take companies to a bankruptcy of which some analysts have not notified time.

The most risky and decisive in the vertiginous history of the rocket

by

All ready for the ninth Starship test flight, the most important mission so far after the final explosives of the previous releases. With Elon Musk back in Starbase, Spacex seeks to complete pending objectives and, as if that were not enough, try for the first time the reuse of one of the rocket stages, the super heavy propeller. Date and time of launch. Following the pattern of the previous flights, the ninth launch of Starship is scheduled to take off in the afternoon, so that the reentry of the ship on the Indian ocean occurs in the sunlight. The launch window opens on Tuesday, May 27 at 6:30 p.m., local time of the newly incorporated city of Starbase, Texas. In other cities: Madrid, Spain (CEST, UTC+2): Wednesday, May 28 at 01:30 Mexico City, Mexico (CST, UTC-5): Tuesday, May 27 at 6:30 p.m. Buenos Aires, Argentina (Art, UTC-3): Tuesday, May 27 at 8:30 p.m. Bogotá, Colombia (COT, UTC-5): Tuesday, May 27 at 6:30 p.m. Lima, Peru (Pet, UTC-5): Tuesday, May 27 at 6:30 p.m. Santiago, Chile (CLT, UTC-4): Tuesday, May 27 at 7:30 p.m. Caracas, Venezuela (Vet, UTC-4): Tuesday, May 27 at 7:30 p.m. How to see it live. Spacex will broadcast the flight Through its website and His official X profile. The retransmission will begin 30 minutes before takeoff. On this occasion, too They will broadcast live A talk by Elon Musk about the future of the company and its path to the conquest of Mars, which will take place about six and a half hours before the launch. For the most enthusiastic, YouTube channels like Nasaspaceflight, Lab Padre and Everyday Astronaut They usually offer retransmissions with their own cameras from the immediate vicinity of the launch platform. In Spanish, the coverage of Space border, Mission control, Manuel Mazzanti either Spacexstormamong others. All eyes put on the ship. This ninth attempt comes after the investigations of flights 7 and 8, which ended in the loss of the upper stage of the rocket. Spacex has clarified that the causes were different. The seventh flight succumbed to unexpected vibrations that caused a liquid oxygen leak. The eighth, with the vibrations already mitigated, failed for a hardware problem in one of the central raptor engines of the ship, which caused a mixture of propellents and a violent explosion. With the lessons learned, all looks are put on this ninth flight. Double Tirabuzón of the Super Heavy. One of the great milestones of this mission is that the propeller, whose serial number is Booster 14, will be the first to be reused after a successful take -off and landing in the seventh mission. Although 29 of its 33 Raptor engines have already flown, Spacex has carried out exhaustive inspections and replaced single -use components. This time, Booster 14 will not try to be caught by the tower. Instead, he will perform a series of risky experiments during his descent on the Gulf of Mexico: Post-separation controlled turn: several hot separation adapter vents will be blocked so that the thrust of Starship engines make it spin in a known direction, saving propellant. Greater angle of attack: it will try to fly with a more aggressive angle during the descent to increase atmospheric resistance and reduce speed, needing less propenting for landing. Motor tests in spareness: one of the three central engines will be deactivated intentionally during the final phase of the landing ignition to test the capacity of a backup engine. Then, it will go to only two central engines before hard ametering in the Gulf. Many experiments to do. The Starship ship (the number S35) also has a full agenda because it must complete the objectives that Spacex could not demonstrate in the two previous flights: First load deployment: It will display in its suborbital trajectory eight Starlink satellite simulators, similar in size to the next generation of the Spacex constellation. Motor reached in space: he will try again to reade of a Raptor engine in a vacuum to get out of his trajectory. Recentrada experiments: Spacex has eliminated a significant number of thermal tiles of the ship’s shield to test vulnerable areas. It will also test new metal tiles (one with active cooling) and functional capture accessories for future landings in the second tower. In addition, the borders of the tiles have softened to avoid hot points. To top it off, the reentry profile will be more aggressive to deliberately stressed the rear ailerons. The objective is a controlled ameter in the Indian Ocean, where there will already be dawn. Why this flight is so crucial. Starship’s ninth flight is not just one more test. It is an attempt of Spacex to demonstrate the rapid reuse of the super heavy, validate solutions to previous failures in the Starship and, above all, to collect critical data in extreme conditions to approach the objective of a totally reusable launch system. The success in these experiments could accelerate the program, which already has permission to make 25 annual flights. For now, this is the third flight of 2025. Whatever happens, the emotion is guaranteed. Image | Spacex In Xataka | Spacex has been scratching his head for 11 weeks to relaunch Starship. Now he finally has green light to fly again

With ‘The family of TV’, TVE wants to look more than ever to Telecinco. It is a risky movement

The program with which La1 wants to compete from you to you with Tele5 and Antena 3, ‘TV family‘, He has reached the chain’s grill. Does it after two weeks late (first by the Death of the Popethen for the Blackout that left Spain without electricity), and has been presented in society with a colorful ride that has guaranteed it A few criticisms. But after its premiere there is something else: TVE’s intention to compete for a younger audience What was the ride? The ride consisted of the arrival, one by one, of those who will be the great stars of the program. That is, Aitor Albizua and Inés Hernand, veterans of RTVE, along with María Patiño and Belén Esteban. The latter, together with collaborators such as Víctor Sandoval or Carlota Corredera, During yesterday afternoon there was time for everything, from detailed presentations of multiple collaborators to winks to the past. For example, in tribute to sadism with which ‘Save Me’ treated its collaborators, the program forced the collaborators to move by their own means from Torrespaña to Prado del Rey. Throughout the afternoon there were times for viral moments, such as the inevitable Chuminero dance from Lydia Lozano. And the ride surprised with the signing of two very young from the heart of the heart: Isa Pantoja and Rocío Carrasco. They are not light decisions: the bridge to the total connection with Telecinco is lying. The program was divided, as usual in the future, in two blocks: one that will go, approximately four to five in the afternoon, and after the series ‘Wild Valley’ and ‘The Promise’, another block between seven less fourth and eight and a half. The audience, with doubts. It is complicated to determine the exact audience of the program by its dual nature: two differentiated blocks, separated by which it seems that the stars in the afternoons of the1 will continue: the ‘Wild Valley’ and ‘The Promise’ series, which made a phenomenal 14.5% of Share. The first block of ‘The Family of TV’ only 8.7%, being below both ‘afternoon’ and ‘dreams of freedom’, and very close to ‘everything is a lie’ of Telecinco. In the second block, it made 9.1%, also third option behind Telecinco and Antena 3, and being very close to Lasxta. ‘The family of TV’, with its arrival, eliminates from the grill to the series ‘La Moderna’, for both budget and audience reasons, as The director of RTVE explainedSergio Calderón. RTVE also definitely eliminates the ‘El Hunter’ contest, which was also having very low figures and had canceled on the paper since summer of 2024. From that point of view, ‘The family of TV’ is a safe bet: it serves as opening and exit parenthesis for two traditional series that still give up, and there is space to play with the blocks and make changes if the audiences do not improve. Battlefield: The afternoons. Interestingly, the afternoons of all channels have remained as a bliburrillo where all channels have distinctive offers, but with common points: Talk Shows and varieties (‘The family of TV’, ‘Late‘,’ The Jorge Jorge ‘), Series (‘ The Promise ‘,’ Dreams of Freedom ‘), Contests (‘ Pasapalabra ‘,’ Chain reaction ‘…). Until now, TVE remained on the sidelines with a block of cultural tone competitions and absolutely distinctive series of the public chain. Now, with ‘The family of TV’, go down to the mud of direct competition imitating the style of its rivals. TVE telecinquification. Regardless of whether ‘the TV family’ is paid with a success or with a failure, what we surely have here is another sample of the public channel approach to codes most typical of private chains. Embraceing the jester and acidic humor of ‘Save The Broncano program. RTVE wants to rejuvenate his audience and that Playz’s experiments are not in something isolated, and that is why Inés Hernand and Samantha Hudson are brought from there, and has the potential of ‘Save me’ as an ironic artifact for young people. ‘Save me’ in TVE? After a stage-person on the Internet and then a landing in Ten, the informal heir of ‘Save Me’ was ‘or that we were Shhh’, with a greater impact of the expected and audiences of more than 4% of Share. Before all this, he had a brief life as Netflix experiment in the form of reality that did not curdle. All this helped the program to become an ironic artifact for the youngest, alive especially in social networks and with a fauna with their own dynamics that do not need explanations and that will inherit ‘the family of TV’. It is undoubtedly a risky leap: does it make sense that on the set of ‘The Family of TV’ the fights, hysteria attacks or insults of collaborators as extremes as Kiko Matamoros are replicated? LA1 is risking, but deep down not much more than has risked all the eSCUDERÍA DE COMESO THAT IS AT THE PUBLIC CHAIN: First Broncano and Marc turned, shortly Buenafuente. It is a general RTVE plan that goes through a different audience from those traditional series and cultural competitions that had before, and in that sense, ‘The family of TV’ is a comprehensive bet for the afternoons. OBJECTIVE: Rejuvenate the audiences and give a washing face to the TVE grill. Header | RTVE In Xataka | 739 million euros: an audit of the Treasury points to a possible budget hole in RTVE

Starship flight 9 includes such a risky maneuver that will be tested at sea, not to destroy the tower

by

After Two consecutive flights in which the Starship ship exploded shortly from separating from the propeller, a conservative approach could be expected by Spacex for the ninth launch. Nothing is further from reality. Double Tirabuzón without a network for the Super Heavy. Elon Musk’s company knows how to maintain emotion for flight 9, and the riskiest plans focus on The largest part of the rocket: The Super Heavy propeller. Spacex will not only reuse for the first time one of the three super heavy who have successfully landed in the arms of the launch tower. At the same time, plan to test With only two available engines For braking and landing maneuver. It is a deliberate resistance test to verify what would happen if a propellant engine fails during the reentry. Straight to the Gulf of Mexico. In this case, Spacex will not try to catch the propeller for the second time. The landing maneuver is so extreme (first super heavy used, with only two lit engines and without failure tolerance) that the rocket will discard. Instead of returning to the tower, he will make an essay of the maneuver in the Atlantic Ocean, finishing his mission with a shocking. Spacex already has a second Mechazilla tower in Starbase Able to catch rockets with his robotic armsbut he needs both for when, in addition to the 70 -meter Super Heavy propeller, the 50 -meter Starship ship begins to land in the other tower. Something that Spacex would have tried for the first time on this flight 9 if it had not been for the catastrophic failures of flights 7 and 8, which have delayed those plans. Even so, we are going to have fun. 29 used engines. Spacex has already done a proof of the propeller which will launch the Starship in this ninth launch: the Booster 14. He took off for the first time on January 16 and was successfully captured by the tower a few minutes later, while the starship lost control. The first time Spacex reused a falcon 9 propeller A year had passed Since its launch. With the Super Heavy just three months have passed. In addition, there is no trap or cardboard: 29 of the 33 engines that wears the booster 14 are used. Of course, Spacex is still far from rapid reuse type “Zero-Touch reflight“(land, load propellants and take off again) to which he aspires. Especially with the ship and its thermal shield. All eyes put on the ship. To land a used rocket of 70 meters high with a less engine is impressive, but the super heavy will not be the protagonist of this flight. It must necessarily be the Starship 35 because it is the third ship of version 2 that will launch Spacex. His two predecessors had an abrupt ending for excessive vibrations near the engineswhich led to leaks, fires and explosions. The S35 ship completed its cryogenic tests in mid -March, but has not made a long ignition like the S34, and there are doubts about how Spacex will face its launch, because the flight profile has not yet been published. Nor the results of the investigation on flight 8, nor the flight license of the Federal Aviation Administration, so it seems unlikely that Spacex takes off at the date initially scheduled (April 18). Mars does not expect. Yes, on the other hand, the investigation of flight 7 is closed, whose 11 corrective actions were implemented before flight 8. Without much success, since it failed again. Flight 9 is not expected to require a modification of the flight license, but the approval of the FAA is indispensable to schedule the launch. Spacex needs to accelerate the step to meet Elon Musk’s goal of an unmanned mission to Mars (with Robots Tesla Optimus) By the end of next year. The earth-marte transfer windows occur every two years, and Musk does not want to waste time. But Starship is already pushing the limits of technology and the last thing he needs is a third explosion about the Caribbean.
