Giant Starship rocket could go into space in 6 weeks. Elon Musk estimates launch success at 60%
After the first orbital launch of Starship, which ended in failure, SpaceX had more work to do: the data collected during the flight had to be analyzed and the necessary changes made so that the engines would no longer turn off during the flight (this was mainly the reason for the “planned destruction” of Starship in the spring).
Elon Musk has now announced on Twitter that the technical changes required for the flight will be completed in about 6 weeks. At the same time, the second launch of Starship may take place. However, Musk noted that there are “many variables beyond the control of SpaceX.” This probably applies to both the weather and the permission of the regulator, which must give permission for the launch.
“I think the likelihood is that [Starship] on the next flight will work – or go into orbit – much higher than on the previous [полете]. Maybe around 60%. It depends on how well we do with staging.“, he said, speaking on Twitter Spaces with Bloomberg reporter Ashley Vance.

iPhone 15 Pro Max “destroyed” Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra in camera test: clear examples

As new comparisons between the iPhone 15 Pro Max and the flagship Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra emerge, it becomes clear where the camera of Apple’s new flagship is better.
The following comparative images were published by the famous insider Ice Universe, who stated that the 24-megapixel shooting mode added to the iPhone 15 Pro Max allowed the new product to literally destroy the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra.
The 24-megapixel camera added to the iPhone 15 Pro Max destroyed the 12-megapixel camera of the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra in terms of clarity and also did a better job in terms of exposure control. Low light textures are also much better than the Samsung’s. Samsung is trash.

In an interview with Numerama’s Nicolas Lellouche, Apple’s VP of Camera Software Engineering John McCormack explained why the iPhone 15 Pro Max has a 5x optical zoom, rather than the 10x zoom of the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra.
Overall, the iPhone 15 Pro Max performs better than the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra in low light, especially when using the zoom. The higher the zoom value (up to x25), the better the iPhone 15 Pro Max performs.
