Virgin Galactic is about to launch its first fully crewed mission to space. Company founder Richard Branson is going along for the ride, which could pave the way for a commercial space tourism service.
To drum up some additional excitement, Virgin Galactic shared a new video on Thursday, July 8, showing engineers attaching the VSS Unity space plane to the mothership VMS Eve ahead of Sunday's highly anticipated flight.
The mission will see Eve carry rocket-powered Unity and its six crew members to an altitude of about 50,000. Eve will then release Unity, allowing it to fire up its rocket and blast its way to the Kármán line 62 miles above Earth, widely considered as the edge of space. There, the crew will enjoy amazing views and several minutes of weightlessness before Unity returns a short while later for a runway landing. |

Over the past decade, the terms "reboot," "revival," and "sequel series" have been tossed around abundantly as popular shows from the past return in various incarnations to reignite interest from older fans and (hopefully) delight an entirely new generation of audience. One decade in particular, though, has become fodder for a seemingly endless stream of revived concepts: The 1990s.
From Saved by the Bell to Punky Brewster and even Peacock's Tina Fey-produced series Girls5eva, which parodies an amalgamation of every girl group and boy band from that decade, it's evident that the TV revival trend is beginning to skew to a particular timeframe.
It has been more than 30 years since 1990, the beginning of a decade when clothing was baggy, overalls were the height of fashion, and the brooding grunge trend was juxtaposed by the bright and cheerful rise of boy bands and girl groups, adorable Tamagotchi virtual pets, and jelly shoes. It was a decade filled with ground-breaking TV series like Roseanne, Seinfeld, Freaks and Geeks, and Friends -- but why is '90s TV so popular once again? |

According to multiple reports, Apple might ditch its famous Touch Bar in its upcoming 2021 MacBook Pro.
Many sources claim that Apple might release its next-generation MacBook Pro in the summer of 2021. Out of the multiple changes that the device is going to bring, one of them includes the absence of a Touch Bar.
The DSCC (Display Supply Chain Consultants) analysis report said the following about the future of the controversial feature: "Touch Bars continue to be the No. 3 application with an 18% unit share and 1.2% revenue share in Q1'21. We expect Touch Bars to be exceeded by tablets when Apple starts the adoption of the 10.9-inch AMOLED iPad. Further, our sources suggest that Apple may cancel the Touch Bar in the future." |
