Here’s what you need to know about the Disney+ launch on Tuesday
On Tuesday, a major new chapter in the ongoing Streaming Wars begins in earnest with the launch of Disney’s hotly anticipated new Netflix rival, Disney+. The service launches in the US for $6.99/month or $69.99 for an annual subscription (for those of you who haven’t signed up early or taken advantage of the myriad discounts in advance), and the streamer will be the exclusive home for content from beloved brands like Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, National Geographic, and Disney itself. In addition to the hundreds of movies, users will also get to enjoy all-new TV series created just for the service, like the one I’m especially eager to dive into on Tuesday — the Star Wars-themed series The Mandalorian about the escapades of a wandering bounty hunter.
If you’re already eager to check out the service, it’s likely you already know the answers to most of the questions that interest you. Except, perhaps, for one — What time can you start streaming Disney+ content on launch day?

The International Space Station may get a new lease on life
The International Space Station has been around for long enough that it’s easy to forget that it has a finite lifespan. The massive orbiting laboratory has been flying for over two decades now, and it’s been inhabited for over 19 years. Keeping it up and running is a massive effort, and it’s not cheap.
When the space station outlives its usefulness it will be decommissioned, but we’re not there yet, and ensuring that the spacecraft remains up and running means spending heaps of cash. A new proposal by a bipartisan group of lawmakers suggests that the US government do just that, clearing the path to funding the space station’s continued operations for another decade.

One of the most epic scenes in ‘Avengers: Endgame’ was originally a lot different
Avengers: Endgame is such a cinematic phenomenon that just when you thought you knew pretty much everything about it, more of its secrets come to light. On the other hand, Endgame is the culmination of 10 years of great MCU storytelling, so we’re bound to find out more and more secrets as the people involved in making the movie, from the cast to the crew, share more memories. For example, just a few days ago we learned that Marvel plans to address one of the biggest remaining Endgame secrets in the not so distant future, a secret the studio has failed to address in any way since the film premiered. But thanks to an extensive look at what it was like to create one of the most significant scenes in the film (the epic battle at the end), we were given a closer look at some of the decisions that went into building that battle sequence. Now, it turns out that one of the most important scenes in Endgame, which occurs during the fighting toward the end, was supposed to be a lot different.
