Elon Musk in a spin as stray chopper in rocket danger zone shelves SpaceX launch

SpaceX had to reschedule its latest launch after a helicopter flew into the rocket’s restricted area- with just seconds before blast-off.

Elon Musk tweeted that the “keep out zone” is “unreasonably gigantic,” and suggested aviation laws needed updating for space travel, saying that the “current regulatory system is broken”.

The Federal Aviation Administration say the aircraft was a private helicopter that entered the restricted area with just 11 seconds to go before blast-off.

A top British police chief says the big tech industry is putting ‘profit before safeguarding children’, and he’s pointing the finger at Facebook.

Facebook says that child exploitation “has no place on its platforms” and it will continue “developing new ways to prevent, detect and respond to abuse”.

According to a study, Dinosaurs were already in decline up to 10 million years before their extinction.

An international team of scientists examined the six most popular dinosaur families through the Cretaceous period, spanning from around 150 to 66 million years ago. They found the dinosaurs were all evolving and expanding over that period, but showed a sudden downturn around 76 million years ago.

Astrophysicists have detected black holes eating neutron stars “like Pac-Man”. 5,000-year-old remains of a plague-carrying hunter-gatherer have been found. The humanoid robot ‘Pepper’ has been “paused”, and, canes used by visually impaired people have been given a hi-tech makeover.
