Elon Musk publicised the names of government employees he wants to cut. It’s terrifying federal workers

When President-elect Donald Trump said Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy would recommend major cuts to the federal government in his administration, many public employees knew that their jobs could be on the line.

Trump watches on as SpaceX calls off catch attempt as booster splashes down to Earth

Just weeks after SpaceX stunned audiences with a precision landing of a giant rocket booster, the company has kicked off another test flight of the most powerful launch vehicle ever built. SpaceX again planned an attempt to steer the booster back into the mechanical arms — or "chopsticks"— of a launch tower, but did not meet the required criteria and has abandoned today's attempt of the booster catch. The nearly 121-metre Starship system took flight on November 19 from the company's Starbase facility near Brownsville, Texas.
