Antimatter rockets could make interstellar travel a reality with 300x more powerful propulsion
The numbers check out but more research is needed -- much more
EU strikes €10.6 billion deal to launch homegrown Starlink competitor by 2030
290 satellites will beam down Internet to Europeans by the end of this decade
Why it matters: After two years of negotiations with the private sector, the European Union has signed a deal to develop and operate a homegrown alternative to satellite Internet connectivity solutions like Elon Musk's Starlink and Amazon's Project Kuiper. While smaller in scale, the IRIS² constellation is expected to spark a competitive web of suppliers for space technologies in Europe.
