SpaceX Starship rocket explodes for the third time
SpaceX's ambitious Starship rocket faced another setback this week when a leak led to an uncontrolled descent in space, resulting in an explosion during its test flight.
This marks the third consecutive major challenge for Elon Musk's aerospace company. The launch system, consisting of the Starship upper stage and its Super Heavy booster, blasting off from SpaceX's South Texas launchpad.
Shortly after liftoff, the Super Heavy booster, which had been reused from previous missions, successfully detached from Starship and ignited its engines. However, as it attempted to reposition itself for reentry, a critical issue arose, causing the booster to explode mid-flight.
Despite the incident, SpaceX commentators noted that the booster was already expected to make a hard splashdown in the Gulf of Mexico.

Ex-Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal launches AI startup Parallel to build ‘web for machines'
When Elon Musk took over Twitter (now X) in 2022, Parag Agrawal abruptly stepped down from his position as CEO and left the company to pursue something new. Three years later, Agrawal is back with a new venture that is unsurprisingly focused on AI. Called Parallel Web Systems, Agrawal's new startup intends to build tools and infrastructure that enables AI systems to interact with the open web in real-time. This web-scale infrastructure has been built from the ground up specifically for AI agents to fetch, verify, and organise the information they present. 'AIs will use the web far more than humans ever have. As much as we might anthropomorphise AIs, they operate differently from humans on the web. […] At Parallel, we are building for the web's second user. We are creating systems and infrastructure for AIs to use the web effectively for completing complex tasks,' the company said in its announcement blog post. 'Agents are going to be the primary customers of the web going forward. They will use the web a lot more than humans ever have,' Agrawal, the founder and CEO of Parallel, said. Parallel's suite of products include low-level search tools and deep research APIs that deploy AI agents to complete hours of human work on the web in minutes. The company claimed that its deep research APIs can outperform leading AI models, including OpenAI's GPT-5, on benchmarks testing complex web search and research tasks. When evaluated on OpenAI's BrowseComp benchmark for accuracy in multi-hop reasoning and web navigation, Parallel's deep research APIs achieved 58 per cent accuracy while GPT-5 recorded 41 per cent accuracy. Human participants working with two-hour time limits achieved 25 per cent accuracy. On DeepResearch Bench, a benchmark test to measure the quality, depth, and rigor of long-form AI-generated research reports on complex topics across domains, Parallel secured 82 per cent win rate against a reference set, compared to a 66 per cent win rate by GPT-5. Parallel said it is able to achieve these results because its web-scale infrastructure has been built specifically for AI agents, with each layer of its stack, from crawl and index to ranking, engineered for 'how machines consume information, not how humans browse.' Several startups, public enterprises, and AI companies are already using Parallel's deep research APIs to execute 'millions of research tasks daily,' as per the company. 'Developers are building AI sales agents that research leads, coding agents that synthesize context from docs, and investment tools that find alpha in nice parts of the web and SEC filings. Insurance companies are automating claims with web-sourced verification,' it said. Parag Agrawal studied at Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay before earning his PhD at Stanford University in the United States. He worked at Twitter (now X) for nearly ten years. Parallel Web Systems is Agrawal's first major project since his tenure at Twitter abruptly ended in 2022 following Elon Musk's $44 billion takeover of the social media platform. The startup has raised approximately $30 million in funding so far. It is backed by prominent Silicon Valley venture capitalists (VCs), including Khosla Ventures, Index Ventures, and First Round Capital, The company said that its founding team includes engineers who 'previously built the infrastructure and markets that powered the human web' at Twitter, Google, Stripe, Airbnb, Chime, Waymo, and Kitty Hawk. In the days to come, Parallel said it will look to develop long-horizon AI agents that can complete the work of entire teams in hours, continuous monitoring systems that track the web for signals, event-driven architectures, SQL-style programmable queries over the web, and more.

Iran residents struggle with GPS disruptions; EU pushes to protect digital rules; Apple refutes Elon Musk's claims of bias
Iran residents struggle with GPS disruptions Though it has been more than a full month since Israel's attack against Iran in June, daily life for residents in Iran is still far from normal. Disruptions to their Global Positioning System (GPS) have made it almost impossible for workers such as taxi drivers, delivery people, and passengers to commute around the city. Some of the affected services include ride-hailing apps, delivery platforms, Google Maps, and its Iranian equivalent that is called Neshan. Israel's attack against Iran led to a 12-day-long war between the two countries, with Iran's communications ministry justifying the disruptions by saying they were needed for 'security and military purposes.' These technological challenges add on to the existing difficulties Iranians face in their day-to-day lives due to U.S.-imposed sanctions. In particular, experts have warned that the efficiency of emergency services could be greatly affected by the GPS disruptions. One workaround is switching from the U.S.-operated GPS to the Chinese satellite system BeiDou. EU pushes to protect digital rules The formalisation of a trade deal between the U.S. and the European Union is being delayed by EU efforts to protect its digital regulations that are meant to ensure fair competition and force Big Tech companies to quickly act against harmful or illegal content posted on their platforms, reported The Financial Times. EU officials said there were some remaining disagreements over language related to 'non-tariff barriers,' while the U.S. said these included the digital rules. The U.S. administration has claimed that the EU's digital rules negatively cost American tech companies and that they impact free speech. While it is hoping for flexibility with regards to EU's Digital Services Act (DSA), the EU is firm about ensuring compliance. Apple refutes Elon Musk's claims of bias Apple has denied that its App Store offers a biased top listing to OpenAI's ChatGPT when compared to Elon Musk's Grok AI assistant. Musk made the highly public accusations on X (formerly Twitter) last week, and even threatened to launch legal action against Apple. He did not provide evidence to back up his claims of Grok being pushed down the Apple app store rankings in any way. However, Musk's claims in turn sparked a strong response from OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, who suggested that Musk had manipulated X to favour his own content. Apple said to the news outlet AFP that its app store was designed to be fair and free of bias. 'We feature thousands of apps through charts, algorithmic recommendations, and curated lists selected by experts using objective criteria,' said the company in its statement.

BONK vs DOGE vs LILPEPE crypto price prediction: ChatGPT reveals the best meme coin to buy in 2025
The meme coin market is evolving rapidly, with major players such as Dogecoin (DOGE) and BONK still commanding attention. However, a new one is rising—Little Pepe (LILPEPE) – with a more promising roadmap, advanced blockchain technology, and viral momentum that is already turning heads. With LILPEPE now in Stage 10 of its presale and selling at just $0.0019, investors are looking for signals on which of these meme coins is the best buy for 2025. Using ChatGPT's data synthesis capabilities and comparative analysis, here's how LILPEPE, DOGE, and BONK stack up—revealing why one stands out. Little Pepe ($LILPEPE): A Meme Coin With a Layer 2 Engine and Certik-Approved Brilliance Little Pepe isn't just riding the meme trend—it's redefining it. As the only meme coin with its own Layer 2 blockchain built purely for meme culture, Little Pepe positions itself far above its peers. This isn't just about virality—it's about infrastructure. The project boasts ultra-low fees, lightning-fast finality, sniper bot resistance, and a dedicated memes launchpad, making it the cheapest and fastest blockchain explicitly designed for community-driven token projects. Currently in Stage 10 of its presale at $0.0019, Little Pepe's tokenomics are structured for both sustainability and explosive growth. There's 0% tax on buys and sells, deep liquidity provisions, staking rewards, and a strategic DEX and CEX rollout. The project has already been audited by Certik, giving it a significant security advantage—an essential feature for cautious investors in 2025's volatile meme market. The roadmap is aggressive but clear: it's already listed on CoinMarketCap, with plans for two major centralized exchange listings at launch and long-term ambitions to appear on the largest crypto exchange in the world. Add to that a vibrant marketing campaign, anonymous expert advisors (many of whom contributed to other top meme coin successes), and a $770,000 giveaway, and it's clear: Little Pepe isn't a meme; it's a movement. Dogecoin (DOGE): The OG Is Still Strong, But Innovation Is Lagging Support from worldwide figures like Elon Musk, along with loyal community support, has maintained Dogecoin as the market's most popular option. Its trading volume and market capitalization remain sustained. While price movements are moderate, Dogecoin has the potential to hit new all-time highs in 2025 with accelerated mass adoption as a payment method. However, DOGE faces key challenges. It lacks a dedicated Layer 2 solution, struggles with high transaction fees at times, and hasn't kept up with the technical innovation seen in newer projects like Little Pepe. Without clear tokenomics for staking, DEX engagement, or native utility expansion, DOGE is mainly dependent on external hype rather than internal development. While its price could double or even triple in a bullish market, it doesn't offer the same exponential upside potential seen in newer, tech-savvy meme coins. For long-term holders, DOGE remains a relatively safe store of meme coin value, but for 10x–50x gains, it may have already seen its best days. The gap between nostalgia and utility is widening—and DOGE needs to do more than bark tweets to catch up in 2025. BONK: Solana's Dog Still Has Bite, But Questions Remain BONK was the first meme token that gained traction in the Solana ecosystem. It revived Solana after the FTX incident and cultivated a dedicated community of holders and developers. BONK's key advantage lies in its integration into Solana's DeFi ecosystem, offering quick, cheap transactions with emerging use cases. In a bull market, BONK is expected to follow SOL's growth trend and could see another solid run. However, BONK's sustainability is questionable. It lacks the layered utility that Little Pepe offers and remains heavily dependent on Solana's performance. The tokenomics are also less transparent, and marketing efforts have cooled significantly. Without a robust new roadmap or deeper value propositions, BONK might ride waves—but it may not control the tide. It's a meme coin with bark but less bite in terms of long-term potential. BONK might produce solid short-term gains during high-risk rallies. Still, it may struggle to compete with newer meme projects that bring their own infrastructure, utility, and community-first innovation. Conclusion: Little Pepe Leads the Meme Pack Into 2025 Based on current performance metrics, ecosystem development, and future utility, Little Pepe emerges as the top meme coin pick for 2025. With a Layer 2 chain built for memes, a Certik audit, sniper bot resistance, and an ambitious roadmap that's already delivering, it combines the best of meme culture with real blockchain advancement. DOGE may still be the king in name, and BONK may bite when Solana rallies—but Little Pepe is building an empire, not just a moment. For investors seeking early-stage exposure with massive upside, Little Pepe at Stage 10 and $0.0019 could very well be the best meme coin buy of 2025.
