SpaceX launches its first recycled rocket in historic leap

SpaceX successfully launched and then retrieved its first recycled rocket on Thursday, a historic feat and the biggest leap yet in its bid to drive down costs and speed up flights.

It was the first time SpaceX founder Elon Musk tried to fly a booster that soared before on an orbital mission. He was at a loss for words after the Falcon 9 core landed on the bull's-eye of the ocean platform following lift-off with a broadcasting satellite, achieving what some had once told him was impossible.

"This is a huge day. My mind's blown, frankly," Musk said. He called it an "incredible milestone in the history of space" and predicted, "this is going to be a huge revolution in spaceflight."

Samsung Galaxy S8 announced, gets Siri like voice assistant, Bixby

Korean smartphone giant, Samsung, has unveiled the new flagship at the Unpacked event in New York. Boasting larger display and a new voice assistant software, Samsung aims to bury the Note 7 exploding battery fiasco with the launch of the Galaxy S8.

As the rumours suggested, the Galaxy S8 comes in two screen sizes - the 5.8 inch Galaxy S8 and 6.2 inch Galaxy S8+. With the new devices, Samsung has also coined a new term in the smartphone dictionary (the way Apple does) and is calling it 'infinity display'. In simple terms, the Galaxy S8 has got bezel-less displays, offering a bigger screen. There will be home button below the infinity display that would respond to the pressure.
