Virgin Galactic delays its first commercial research space flight to mid-October
Posted in: Today's ChiliVirgin Galactic is dealing with yet more setbacks for its paid spaceflights. Reutersreports Virgin has delayed its first commercial research flight, Unity 23, to no sooner than mid-October. The mission was originally scheduled for late September or early October, but a supplier warned of a possible “manufacturing defect” in the flight control actuation system, Virgin said.
It’s not certain if the defect is present in Virgin’s vehicles or if any repairs are necessary. Virgin said it was only postponing the launch out of an “abundance of caution.” The mission will see three Italian Air Force members study the effects of transitioning from regular Earth gravity to microgravity on both humans and the environment.
This wasn’t connected to the FAA’s investigation of a deviation from the cleared flight path, Virgin added. When the flight goes forward also depends on the FAA lifting a temporary ban on Virgin flights after it concludes the investigation.
It’s not surprising Virgin would take an extra-careful approach. The company is still dealing with the repercussions of its 2014 crash, and it’s under more pressure than ever now there are paying customers for research and, eventually, regular passengers. Delays like this may frustrate Virgin as it races to become a profitable business, but they may be worthwhile if they establish trust and lead to more customers.

There’s not a lot that surprises me about Batman comics anymore, but I did not expect to see the formerly dead, tortured soul/antihero Jason Todd lunge after a cookie. It’s only one of the many delightful scenes in DC Comics’ first collaboration with the Korean digital comics platform Webtoon, Batman: Wayne Family…

Google One hasn’t had great storage choices if you’re a heavy-duty user — you’ve either had to ‘settle’ for 2TB at $10 per month or jump to 10TB at an eye-watering $50 per month. Thankfully, there’s now an in-between option. 9to5Googlenoticed Google has quietly added a 5TB plan for $25 per month, or $250 per year. That’s half what you’d pay for the 10TB tier, and certainly a better bargain if you didn’t need that much more than the 2TB plan could offer.
You still get 2TB-level perks, including the Android VPN, 10 percent back in store credit for Google Store purchases and Google expert access. Not surprisingly, you’re encouraged to add your family.
The timing is apt. Google ended Photos’ free unlimited storage at the beginning of June, creating headaches for anyone who relies heavily on the service (or Drive as a whole). This could save you from having to sacrifice at least some backups if you know you’re going to be tight on space. There’s also a degree of futureproofing here. Even if 2TB is fine for your needs now, you can give yourself some headroom without paying five times more.
