  • SpaceX Starship Super Heavy V3 booster explodes during Texas testing, investigation underway
    November 23, 2025, 2:08 AM EST. During early Friday testing in South Texas, SpaceX's Starship booster exploded while testing the new Super Heavy V3. The incident occurred during gas-system pressure checks, and SpaceX said Booster 18 suffered an anomaly; no propellant was on the vehicle and engines were not yet installed. No injuries were reported as crews maintained a safe distance. SpaceX said teams will take time to investigate the cause. Booster 18 is the first Super Heavy V3 unit and is undergoing prelaunch tests to validate redesigned propellant systems and structural strength. SpaceX aims to advance toward orbital flight and, later, lunar exploration with Starship, with plans to use the vehicle for Artemis-era goals.
  • Tesla stock under pressure despite two Robotaxi milestones in Nevada and Arizona
    November 23, 2025, 2:06 AM EST. Two Robotaxi milestones in Nevada and Arizona are giving Tesla's AI-driven ambitions a real-world test even as the stock contends with broader tech headwinds. The discussion notes Nvidia's jump and subsequent slide, but highlights that Tesla's robotaxi push-operating with safety drivers and a self-certification path-moved forward in both states. Nevada completed the self-certification to operate robot taxis with safety drivers (not commercially active yet), and Arizona reached a similar final step. While not Level 4 deployments yet, these steps demonstrate progress in the robo-physical AI program. Sentiment improved modestly on the news, though Tesla's stock remains tied to the broader Mag 7 trade and macro swings, with analysts varied on targets.
  • Microsoft rolls out Windows 'full screen experience' to Windows 11 handhelds, hints at a PC-like Xbox future
    November 23, 2025, 2:02 AM EST. Microsoft is expanding its Windows 'full screen experience' (FSE) from the Xbox Ally X to all Windows 11 handhelds starting November 21. FSE puts Windows in a touch- and controller-friendly Xbox PC app, letting players access games from Steam, Epic Games Store, and other stores with quick access to Game Pass. The UI is lighter, uses fewer resources, and simplifies setup and app-switching, aiming for a console-like feel. SteamOS remains the benchmark for handhelds, but this broader rollout could push faster iteration. Microsoft also says the experience will arrive on more Windows 11 PC form factors via the Xbox and Windows Insider programs, hinting that the next Xbox could be more PC-like than a traditional console.
