The Titanic sunk in the North Atlantic on April 15, 1912, after colliding with an iceberg, resulting in the loss of over 1,500 lives. Since then, the lore of the wreck has grown to nearly an unmatched pop culture status, with tales from the survivors fueling a curiosity that was eventually met with technological advancements in submersibles and underwater tracking.
Titanic’s wreckage was first explored in 1987, a beginning point that would escalate the following decades and include astonishing discoveries of artifacts from that tragic day.

When I led a $100M private equity capital raise, a deal team member compared fundraising to climbing Mt. Everest. She told me that receiving our first term sheet was like reaching “base camp.” And when we closed the deal—one of the largest-ever PE raises led by a Black woman CEO in the U.S.—she sent me a Mt. Everest t-shirt to commemorate the climb.
SpaceX's Starship spiraled out of control while in space during a test flight Thursday, marking the second launch in a row that the vehicle has run into a fatal problem on its way to orbit. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) briefly halted flights into major Florida airports and appears to have diverted some others out of caution of "space launch debris." The agency told TechCrunch that it is requiring SpaceX to perform what’s known as a mishap investigation into the failure.
NASA confirmed on X that Athena, which was built by Houston-based Intuitive Machines, touched down on the moon at approximately 12:30 p.m. ET on Thursday.
Intuitive Machines has landed a second spacecraft on the moon, just one year after accomplishing the feat for the first time ever.

The lunar lander, called Athena, touched down on the moon's surface at around 12:30 p.m. ET on Thursday.
The launch of Anthropic's coding tool, Claude Code, is off to a rocky start. According to reports on GitHub, Claude Code's auto-update function contained buggy commands that rendered some workstations unstable and broken. When Claude Code was installed at the "root" or "superuser" levels — permissions that give programs the ability to make operating system-level changes — the buggy commands would let applications modify typically restricted file directories and, in the worst-case scenario, "brick" systems.
