  • Samsung Galaxy XR: Almost all Android apps run in Android XR, Google says
    October 22, 2025, 1:52 AM EDT. Google says the Samsung Galaxy XR will run almost every Android app in Android XR without extra development. Apps will appear in a movable floating panel and automatically support XR input methods-eye and hand tracking, controllers, mice, and keyboards-without a compatibility mode. Apps designed for phones or larger screens can resize or reflow in XR, and adaptive designs will be the default going forward (Android 16). GPS-only features might exclude some apps, but otherwise most experiences should feel responsive on XR. Compared with Vision Pro, Galaxy XR's lower price could give developers a larger audience, while preserving familiar app behavior and look on AR/VR hardware.

  • SpaceX targets record Falcon 9 flight with 133rd 2025 launch from Vandenberg
    October 22, 2025, 1:48 AM EDT. SpaceX is set to break its launch record today (Oct. 22) with a Falcon 9 mission carrying 28 Starlink satellites from Vandenberg Space Force Base at 10:16 a.m. EDT. If all goes to plan, it will be the 133rd Falcon 9 flight of 2025, surpassing last year's mark. The company will livestream the ascent on its website and X, starting five minutes before liftoff. Booster 1075 is expected to return to the Pacific on the drone ship Of Course I Still Love You about 8.5 minutes after liftoff, while the upper stage deploys the satellites roughly an hour later. The milestone continues a year of SpaceX records, including Starlink achievements.
  • Elon Musk attacks NASA chief as Artemis race tightens over Moon landers
    October 22, 2025, 1:44 AM EDT. Elon Musk openly attacked NASA administrator Sean Duffy on X, calling him unable to hold the top job with a 2-digit IQ after NASA said it would consider moon landers not built by SpaceX. NASA is seeking competition for the Artemis program, planning a lunar landing within Trump's second term and aiming to beat China. Duffy argued the agency won't rely on one company and will push forward with rivals. SpaceX has a $2.9 billion Artemis III contract but Starship has faced delays and explosions this year. Musk defended SpaceX, saying the company is moving like lightning. Duffy welcomed the challenge: 'The race to the Moon is ON.' He is the acting administrator, with reports he may keep the role; Musk has previously backed Jared Isaacman for the top job.
