First Australian-made rocket crashes after 14 seconds of flight in a failed attempt to reach orbit
WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — The first Australian -made rocket to attempt to reach orbit from the country's soil crashed after 14 seconds of flight on Wednesday. The rocket Eris, launched by Gilmour Space Technologies, was the first Australian-designed and manufactured orbital launch vehicle to lift off from the country and was designed to carry small satellites to orbit. It launched Wednesday morning local time in a test flight from a spaceport near the small town of Bowen in the north of Queensland state. In videos published by Australian news outlets, the 23-meter (75-foot) rocket appeared to clear the launch tower and hovered in the air before falling out of sight. Plumes of smoke were seen rising above the site. No injuries were reported. The company hailed the launch as a success in a statement posted to Facebook. A spokesperson said all four hybrid-propelled engines ignited and the maiden flight included 23 seconds of engine burn time and 14 seconds of flight. Gilmour Space Technologies had planned previous launches of the rocket, in May and earlier this month, but called off those operations because of technical issues and bad weather. CEO Adam Gilmour said in a statement he was pleased the rocket got off the launchpad. 'Of course I would have liked more flight time but happy with this,' he wrote on LinkedIn. Gilmour said in February that it was 'almost unheard of' for a private rocket company to successfully launch to orbit on its first attempt. The firm had earlier said it would consider the launch a success if the rocket left the ground. The launch site infrastructure 'remained intact,' the statement said. Mayor Ry Collins of the local Whitsunday Regional Council said the completed launch was a 'huge achievement' even though the vehicle didn't reach orbit. 'This is an important first step towards the giant leap of a future commercial space industry right here in our region,' he wrote on Facebook. Gilmour Space Technologies has private funders and was awarded a 5 million Australian dollar ($3.2 million) grant this month from the country's federal government for the development of the Eris rocket. It followed the firm's AU$52 million grant agreement with the government in 2023 to advance the development and commercialization of new space technologies in Australia. The country has been the site of hundreds of suborbital vehicle launches but there have only been two successful launches to orbit from Australia before, according to the aerospace news platform NASASpaceFlight. The maiden Eris test flight was the first orbital launch attempt from Australia in more than 50 years.

Carl Friedrik "Returns to its Roots" with an All-New Leather Accessories Collection
Summary: Luxury travel goods makerCarl Friedrikhas introduced its very first all-leather accessories capsule – a two-piece release that it describes as a 'return to its roots.' Founded in 2012 by Swedish brothers Mattis and Niklas Oppermann, the London-based brand's latest silhouettes – the 'Foley' cardholder and 'Clifton' passport sleeve – form part of itsrecently released'Sonder' collection. Both items are crafted from high-quality semi-aniline bovine leather with a full-grain finish – a material that's become a Carl Friedrik signature. The Foley, a vertical cardholder with a 'subtly curved silhouette,' holds four cards and features a 'hidden' side compartment for storing notes or receipts. Complementing it is the Clifton, an elegant all-leather passport sleeve that includes a discreet additional pocket — or, as the brand describes it, an 'extra back pocket' — just large enough to hold paper travel documents like a boarding pass. Additionally, both silhouettes feature smooth vachetta leather accents – small design details that help to elevate and refine each piece. The new products are available in three colors – 'Black', 'Chestnut' and 'Dark Olive' – that were chosen to complement the color palette of the aforementioned Sonder collection. 'Our approach to designing small leather goods is the same now as it was over a decade ago,' says Mattis Oppermann, adding that 'minimalism with purpose, skilled craftsmanship and fine materials are always to the fore.' Both the Foley and Clifton are available now via Carl Friedrik'swebsitepriced at £125 GBP / $165 USD each.

Major trucking company shuts down operations permanently
The Great Freight Recession has victimized hundreds of companies in the trucking industry during the first half of 2025. Dry van truckload contract rates were unchanged year-over-year, and trucking spot rates, which shippers pay carriers for a one-time shipment, finished the first half of 2025 below last year's levels, FreightWaves reported. Long-haul truckload demand reportedly sank by 25% in the first half of 2025, with trucking becoming more of a short-haul delivery method for the final leg of freight hauling. Related: Beloved 159-year-old Home Depot rival closing, liquidating Overall freight demand resulted in an unseasonal decline in April 2025, "likely presaging further deterioration in the coming months," according to Ryder and FreightWaves' State of the Industry Report released on April 23. The decline is unseasonal, as the beginning of the second quarter usually sees demand slowly ramp up in anticipation of summer inventories and produce deliveries, according to the report. Deteriorating economic conditions and other factors, such a litigation concerns, high debt obligations, or just a need to retire from the business, have pushed companies to shut their doors. The latter was the case for Florida-based trucking company Davis Express Inc., with 160 trucks and 140 drivers, which shut down its business permanently on April 23 after he owner of the company said he would retire and did not want to wait any longer for the business to turn around or to find a buyer. 140 drivers.160 trucks The founder's family also was no longer interested in continuing the business due to industry challenges, he said.

"Many of these lawsuits are bogus, meaning that no injury actually occurred, but we still have to fight them and that takes a lot of money," Fulmer said.
