Russia Patents Rotating Space Station Concept to Generate Artificial Gravity in Orbit
Russia’s Energia rocket company has patented a rotating space station concept designed to generate artificial gravity for astronauts. The system would use spinning habitable modules to simulate half of Earth’s gravity, potentially reducing health risks linked to long missions as the International Space Station nears retirement.

South Korean Startup Innospace Fails on First Orbital Launch Attempt of Hanbit-Nano Rocket
South Korean startup Innospace failed during its first orbital launch attempt as the Hanbit-Nano rocket crashed about a minute after liftoff from Brazil. The mission marked the country’s first private orbital launch effort and carried satellites from Brazil and India. The cause of the failure remains unclear, and the company is expected to invest...

How Much Water Does AI Use? Consumption Now Exceeds World’s Bottled Water, Suggests New Study
Anthropic has released an open-source tool called Bloom to test how AI models behave under normal and stressful conditions. Bloom automates behavioural testing by generating scenarios, running them at scale, and scoring responses for traits like bias or sycophancy. Anthropic says it simplifies a process that was previously manual and time-consuming...

China's Zhuque-3 Reaches Orbit but Booster Explodes in Failed Landing Attempt
China’s private launch company, LandSpace, successfully sent its Zhuque-3 rocket to low Earth orbit on its maiden flight, delivering its payload with an expendable upper stage. But the mission took a dramatic turn during recovery when one of the booster’s engines stalled in the landing burn, causing the stage to erupt in flames just meters from...

Blue Origin Delays NASA Mars Launch Amid Weather and FAA Restrictions
Blue Origin has postponed the launch of NASA’s twin ESCAPADE Mars probes due to bad weather and new FAA restrictions on daytime launches during the U.S. government shutdown. The mission, now targeting Nov. 12, will study how solar wind stripped away Mars’s atmosphere. Blue Origin is seeking an FAA exemption to proceed with the launch.
