November 23, 2025, 2:22 AM EST. SpaceX confirmed that its third-gen Starship booster, Booster 18, suffered a gas-system anomaly during pre-proof testing. There was no propellant and no engines installed, and no injuries were reported. SpaceX will take time to investigate the cause. The explosive gas release appeared to blow out the bottom half of the booster and was captured in photos and livestream clips. Booster 18 is part of the Starship V3 program, SpaceX's ambitious fully reusable launcher intended for high payloads to the Moon and Mars. The project has logged 11 successful launches and five explosions during testing to date; the company continues testing toward lower costs and higher reuse as it pursues its long-term space goals.

November 23, 2025, 2:20 AM EST. Nokia unveiled plans to invest about $4 billion in the United States to expand R&D and manufacturing for AI-ready mobile, fixed, IP, optical, and data center networking technologies, in partnership with the Trump administration. The move builds on a prior $2.3 billion U.S. investment linked to Infinera, and follows Infinera's own $456 million investment in two U.S. manufacturing facilities with CHIPS Act incentives. Nokia says roughly $3.5 billion will fund U.S. R&D across mobile, fixed access, IP, optical, data center networking, and defense solutions, anchored by its Nokia Bell Labs legacy. About $500 million of capital expenditures will target manufacturing and R&D in Texas, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. The plan aims to strengthen Nokia's AI-optimized networking offerings, including automation, quantum-safe networks, semiconductor manufacturing, testing, packaging, and advanced materials science.

A Tennessee man was convicted of attempting to rape a child after contacting a 12-year-old through her school-issued tablet and grooming her online by posing as a teen.

Officials emphasize safety training for students and staff, while acknowledging the limits of filters in preventing harmful interactions in chat or email. The investigation highlights the need for layered safeguards--monitoring, clear reporting channels, parental involvement, and ongoing policy updates to address evolving online risks on school devices.
