NASA opens Artemis 3 to Blue Origin as SpaceX lags
October 26, 2025, 2:10 AM EDT. NASA is considering expanding the Artemis 3 lunar landing competition beyond SpaceX as delays to Starship push the 2027 timetable. Acting NASA Administrator Sean Duffy told CNBC that NASA will issue a formal Request for Proposals to let other space firms bid to beat SpaceX. Blue Origin, with its Blue Moon lander, is among the companies NASA says it'd like to hear from, though Artemis 3 was SpaceX's contract since 2021 for about $2.9 billion. The move underscores concerns about Starship readiness and a race with China. If NASA proceeds with bidding, SpaceX will again face new competition as it works through Starship testing and refueling toward a lunar landing in 2027.
New limited-time Apple Card offer: Earn $75 Daily Cash for new sign-ups
October 26, 2025, 1:38 AM EDT. Apple has a limited-time sign-up bonus for new Apple Card applicants: earn $75 in Bonus Daily Cash after spending $75 within the first 30 days, valid through November 17.

AI Infrastructure Circles a New Circular Economy: Nvidia, OpenAI, and Partners
October 26, 2025, 1:06 AM EDT. AI infrastructure is evolving into a self-sustaining circle where investment, hardware, and demand loop among a handful of gatekeepers. Nvidia's up to $100 billion pledge to OpenAI aims to shore up next-gen compute by building 10 gigawatts of data-center capacity powered by Nvidia chips. OpenAI then moves to secure chip supply from AMD and even eyes an equity stake, while partnering with Broadcom to co-develop custom AI accelerators. CoreWeave sits at the cloud layer, with OpenAI's $6.5 billion contract and Nvidia's ownership creating a tight flow of capital and hardware. The result: predictable demand and deeper integration-yet the structure risks masking organic growth and raises access concerns for new entrants.

Bringing Back a Smartphone-Free Childhood: Community Efforts to Reclaim Real-Life Play
October 26, 2025, 12:00 AM EDT. There was a time when kids played outdoors instead of screens, and today a growing movement aims to bring that balance back. Campaigns like The Balance Project and Smartphone Free Childhood push parents to delay smartphones and foster screen-free activities. Initiatives such as bike-buddy programs and Balance Boxes encourage outdoor play, while schools experiment with phone-free days to quiet classrooms and boost presence. Research cited by TIME and the UK group highlight links between excessive smartphone use and anxiety, attention issues, and sleep disruption. Proponents argue smartphones were not designed for kids and propose a cultural shift toward safer crosswalks, longer recesses, and more unstructured time outside. The shared goal is solidarity – allowing children to connect in person and develop independence beyond their devices.
