The deployment comes amid a weather window that showed a 65% chance of favorable conditions, with winds and cumulus clouds as the main concerns. The mission reused booster B1090, which has now flown eight times, including prior missions such as Crew-10, CRS-33, and Bandwagon-3. About eight minutes after liftoff, the booster landed autonomously on the drone ship "A Shortfall of Gravitas", marking the 127th landing on that vessel and the 515th booster landing overall. SpaceX has over 8,500 Starlink satellites in orbit, part of the growing broadband megaconstellation.

October 22, 2025, 2:28 AM EDT. Artificial intelligence is reshaping the housing market by influencing listings, pricing, and search dynamics. Critics warn that AI-driven demand and data centers expansion are pushing up costs and making homeownership harder to reach. In San Francisco, a surge in AI activity has correlated with a 6% rent uptick, with rents near NYC's, underscoring how technology-driven demand tightens housing supply. Analysts warn that data centers and related infrastructure may siphon capital, power, and water away from homes, potentially lifting bills across neighborhoods. The trend also raises concerns about AI-generated listing images and staging, which some call deceptive, even as others say AI can still streamline searches and provide insights that shorten the buying process. The net effect depends on policy, pricing, and implementation.
