Going to the Moon isn’t cheap, no matter how far ahead you can plan for it. Going to the Moon on a dramatically-shortened timeline? Well, that can be even more expensive, and with NASA revealing that it’s close to striking a deal with manufacturer Boeing for up to 10 SLS rocket core stages for the Artemis mission program, it’s clear that the agency is feeling particularly generous.

As Ars Technica reports, the contracts that are close to being inked between Boeing and NASA will likely offer special incentives and fees for the company despite the rocket’s already lengthy development.

A couple of weeks back, NASA teased its new spacesuits that astronauts will wear when exploring the lunar surface in years to come. The agency plans on having crewed missions to the Moon underway by 2024, and upgrading the gear that astronauts will wear on their journey was a top priority. Now, we’re finally getting our first look at real-life versions of the spacesuits that will keep NASA astronauts safe during their missions.

The prototypes — including the xEMU suit for lunar exploration and the Orion Crew Survival System suit — were shown off during an event at NASA’s headquarters this week.

Google confirmed the Pixel 4’s main features several months before actually announcing the phone, but that didn’t stop the leaks. All the Pixel 4 rumors that followed were easy to verify, considering we all knew what the Pixel 4 would look like and what its signature features would be. Unsurprisingly, Google copied the iPhone again, with Apple continuing to be its main inspiration for the Pixel line so far.

Not only did Google have to admit that it needed more cameras on the back of the phone to improve photography, but the Pixel 4 is the latest Android handset — and the most important one — to replicate one of the most important iPhone features in recent years. That’s 3D face unlock, Google’s response to Face ID, which launched on the iPhone two years ago. But Google forgot to also replicate one of Face ID’s key security features.

Historically, Netflix has had a tendency to shy away from releasing specific viewership figures for any of its original programming. Sure, the streaming giant would, on occasion, issue a press release stating that a specific show or season premiere was record-breaking, but the company made a habit of never disclosing any actual data.

Recently, though, Netflix has decided to become a little bit more transparent with respect to viewership figures. As part of the company’s earnings report this week, Netflix, for the first time in company history, provided us with actual viewership figures for its most popular content, and some of the entries might surprise you.

You might remember back in March that NASA was planning the first all-female spacewalk in history. The space agency didn’t specifically intend for it to be women only, but it just so happened that astronauts Anne McClain and Christina Koch were slotted to operate as a team, and it was the first time things had worked out that way.

Unfortunately, the spacewalk had to be tweaked at the last minute due to an issue with spacesuit sizing. McClain’s spacesuit size preference changed after her first trip outside the ISS and there weren’t two medium-sized suit torsos available. It was a bummer, and it meant that the first all-female spacewalk would have to wait for another day. Tomorrow is that day.

In the build-up to Google’s Pixel 4 unveiling earlier this week, there were a few rumors circulating claiming that we might see Google introduce a 5G version of its next-gen smartphone. The rumor itself was particularly plausible, especially in light of the fact that we’ve already seen 5G devices from the likes of Samsung and LG hit the market this year.

But as it turned out, Google’s event came and went without a mention of a 5G version of its Pixel 4 smartphone. Truth be told, it’s not that big of a deal given that the rollout of 5G is still in its infancy, which is to say that if you pay a premium for a 5G device, there’s a good chance you’re paying extra for a feature you can’t fully take advantage of just yet.

Even with all the chaos surrounding the launch of iOS 13 – which included a string of rushed beta releases, a whole host of bugs and issues, and an expedited rollout of iOS 13.1 – Apple says 50% of its iPhones are already running on iOS 13. This announcement comes less than one month after Apple seeded the first version of the software update to the public, which goes to show just how accustomed Apple fans are to staying up to date.

Breaking down the adoption numbers further, Apple reveals that while 50% of all iPhones have been updated to iOS 13, the percentage of recent devices (those introduced within the last four years) to make the jump is even higher at 55%. But the iPad lags behind slightly, as only 33% of iPad owners have moved on to iPadOS.
