SpaceX's successful Starship flight grabbed by giant mech arms

SpaceX's fifth Starship test launch — the reusable transportation key to Elon Musk's space goals — has made a successful journey up to orbit and back. Most impressive: It was the first use of the company's futuristic "mechazilla" tech to get its massive vehicle back on the landing pad.

The rocket system took off from the private South Texas launchpad around 8:25 a.m. ET and its booster, known as Super Heavy, was falling gracefully back to Earth only a few minutes later. As SpaceX's metal...

Cole Kmet caught a TD, then snapped for the extra point against the Jacksonville Jaguars

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet is doing a little bit of everything against the Jacksonville Jaguars

Yesterday we told you the story of Penn State tight end Tyler Warren, who did almost everything he could in the Nittany Lions’ 33-30 victory over USC. Warren led all Penn State receivers with 17 receptions for 224 yards and a touchdown, ran for four yards on one rushing attempt, and even completed a pass. On the touchdown? It came on a bizarre formation where Warren lined up as...

In September of 2023, Danny and Steven Sanicki played a round of minigolf. The Sanickis are twins, are both competitive golfers, and were budding content creators at the time, so of course they filmed the whole round. Danny edited the footage on his phone, recorded a quick commentary track, slapped a scoreboard over top of the video, and posted the tournament as a six-part series on his TikTok channel. Neither brother really expected anything to...

Google just designed a crazy infinite donut keyboard you didn’t know you needed

Nothing brings me more joy than perfectly designed, perfectly functional, and perfectly silly gadgets. And Google Japan is the best at creating them.

Google Japan has just released a new type of hardware keyboard. It calls it Gboard Double-Sided, aka the “Infinity Keyboard.” I call it the Krispy Kreme because it looks like a donut. The device is actually an infinite loop with keys on both sides. (Also, it’s a joke, built to promote the real software-based Gboard that you can use on...

MLB Playoffs: Underdog Guardians look to knock out big, bad Yankees

The Yankees’ championship drought is a feast compared to the Guardians’. Who will get a chance to snap it?

The Championship Series is upon us and only four teams remain from the 30 who began the MLB season back in March.

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared goff is on the doorstep of a new NFL record
