川普特使籲馬斯克「1件事」伸援手 幫幫伊朗好朋友
在俄烏衝突中為烏克蘭提供了極大幫助的星鏈（Starlink），即將前進伊朗？川普特使格瑞內爾（Richard Grenell）公開請求億萬富豪馬斯克，接下來數周內在伊朗免費啟用其SpaceX公司所開發的衛星網路服務「星鏈」。
格瑞內爾在社群平台X上發文，直接向馬斯克提問，「你是否能在接下來的幾個星期內，對伊朗免費開通『星鏈』」服務？我在伊朗的朋友們目前無法正常獲取資訊」。格瑞內爾更進一步表示，他個人非常願意為此舉「捐款」，並且深信會有其他人一同響應。馬斯克目前尚未公開回應。
Can you turn on @Starlink for free in Iran for the next few weeks, @elonmusk?My friends inside Iran don't have regular access to information right now. I'll chip in a donation and I think others would, too.
— Richard Grenell (@RichardGrenell) June 21, 2025
先前在俄烏衝突爆發後，馬斯克曾緊急授權烏克蘭軍方使用星鏈，並支援了大量星鏈通訊終端。而烏克蘭則藉此進行定位，並操控無人機等發動攻擊，取得了大量戰果。
以色列13日針對伊朗多地發動大規模空襲以來，伊朗近半的時間處於通訊中斷狀態，不僅無法與外界聯繫，也無法與全國各地的親屬聯繫。
伊朗在實施全國斷網近3天後，於當地時間21日晚上陸續恢復網路連線。伊朗政府之前聲稱，實施斷網是因為遭到以色列的網路安全威脅。監控全球上網情況的非政府組織NetBlocks.org在21日表示，伊朗的部分網路服務當天短暫恢復，但當天晚些時候再次中斷。

不過以色列反控伊朗斷網是為了控制通訊，讓伊朗民眾只能單方面接受伊朗當局所聲稱的戰爭順利假象。「伊朗政權對資訊領域的控制非常非常嚴格，」數位權利組織Access Now駐柏林的政策和倡議總監Marwa Fatafta在接受美聯社採訪時表示，「我們知道伊朗政權關閉網站的原因。他們想要控制資訊。所以他們的目標非常明確」。

Elon Musk promises more risky launches after sixth Starship failure
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. This article was originally published at The Conversation. The publication contributed the article to Expert Voices: Op-Ed & Insights. This was the ninth test flight for the rocket, and the third catastrophic failure in a row, just this year. Is this what we should expect from the very ship some are counting on to take humans further than we've ever been in the solar system? Or does this failure point to deeper concerns within the broader program? A decade of development The Starship program from Elon Musk's space technology company, SpaceX, has been in development for more than a decade now and has undergone many iterations in its overall design and goals. The Starship concept is based upon the SpaceX Raptor engines to be used in a multistage system. In a multistage rocket system, there are often two or three separate blocks with their own engine and fuel reserves. These are particularly important for leaving Earth's orbit and travelling to the Moon, Mars and beyond. With Starship, the key factor is the ability to land and reuse vast amounts of the rocket stages again and again. The company's Falcon 9 vehicles, which used this model, were fantastically successful. Initial tests of Starship began in 2018 with two low-altitude flights showing early success. Subsequent flights have faced numerous challenges with now four complete failures, two partial failures and three successes overall. Just two days ago, during the latest failed attempt, I watched alongside more than 200 other space industry experts at the Australian Space Summit in Sydney. Broadcast live on a giant screen, the launch generated an excited buzz – which soon turned to reserved murmurs. Of course, designing and launching rockets is hard, and failures are to be expected. However, a third catastrophic failure within six months demands a pause for reflection. On this particular test flight, as Starship positioned itself for atmospheric re-entry, one of its 13 engines failed to ignite. Shortly after, a booster appeared to explode, leading to a complete loss of control. The rocket ultimately broke apart over the Indian Ocean, which tonnes of debris will now call home. Polluting Earth in pursuit of space We don't know the exact financial cost of each test flight. But Musk has previously said it is about US$50–100 million. The exact environmental cost of the Starship program – and its repeated failures – is even harder to quantify. For example, a failed test flight in 2023 left the town of Port Isabel, Texas, which is located beside the launch site, shaking and covered in a thick cloud of dirt. Debris from the exploded rocket smashed cars. Residents told the New York Times they were terrified. They also had to clean up the mess from the flight. Then, in September 2024, SpaceX was fined by the US Environmental Protection Agency and the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality for 14 separate incidents since 2022 where the launch facilities discharged polluted water into Texas waterways. Musk denied these claims. That same month, the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) proposed a fine of US$633,009 in civil penalties should be issued to SpaceX. This was on the grounds of using an unapproved launch control room and other violations during 2023. Musk denied these claims too and threatened to countersue the FAA for 'regulatory overreach'. It's unclear if this suit was ever filed. Two other failed launches in January and March this year also rained rocket debris over the Caribbean, and disrupted hundreds of commercial flights, including 80 which needed to be diverted and more than 400 requiring delayed takeoff to ensure they were entering safe air space. Success of different space programs Until last year, the FAA allowed SpaceX to try up to five Starship launches a year. This month, the figure was increased to 25. A lot can go wrong during a launch of a vehicle to space. And there is a long way to go until we can properly judge whether Starship successfully meets its mission goals. We can, however, look at past programs to understand typical success rates seen across different rocketry programs. The Saturn V rocket, the workhorse of the Apollo era, had a total of 13 launches, with only one partial failure. It underwent three full ground tests before flight. SpaceX's own Falcon 9 rocket, has had more than 478 successful launches, only two in flight failures, one partial failure and one pre-flight destruction. The Antares rocket, by Orbital Sciences Corporation (later Orbital ATK and Northrop Grumman) launched a total of 18 times, with one failure. The Soyuz rocket, originally a Soviet expendable carrier rocket designed in the 1960s, launched a total of 32 times, with two failures. RELATED STORIES — 'Starship in space': See amazing photos from SpaceX megarocket's Flight 9 test mission —FAA requires SpaceX to investigate Starship Flight 9 mishap — SpaceX reveals why its Starship Flight 8 Ship exploded, failure traced to 'flash' in rocket's engines No sign of caution Of course, we can't fairly compare all other rockets with the Starship. Its goals are certainly novel as a reusable heavy-class rocket. But this latest failure does raise some questions. Will the Starship program ever see success – and if so when? And what are the limits of our tolerance as a society to the pollution of Earth in the pursuit of the goal to space? For a rocketry program that's moving so fast, developing novel and complex technology, and experiencing several repeated failures, many people might expect caution from now on. Musk, however, has other plans. Shortly after the most recent Starship failure, he announced on X (formerly Twitter), that the next test flights would occur at a faster pace: one every three to four weeks.

Start your week smart: US strikes Iran, Pride rollbacks, Tesla robotaxis, NATO summit, Bezos' wedding
If everything goes according to plan, Tesla's long-awaited robotaxi service will roll out today in Austin, Texas. Tesla's CEO Elon Musk, who's been talking about robotaxis for years, has cautioned that the launch date isn't set in stone. Musk, of course, is also CEO of SpaceX — and has said he hopes to land humans on Mars by 2026. That timeline may need an adjustment after his monster Starship rocket exploded last week. Here's what else you need to know to start your week smart. • The US entered into conflict with Iran on Saturday after President Donald Trump ordered warplanes to drop bombs on three nuclear sites inside the country, thrusting him squarely into an escalating Middle East conflict even as he holds out hope the matter can be resolved diplomatically. Follow CNN's full coverage here.• Bodies of three hostages — an IDF soldier and two civilians — recovered from Gaza• Record-breaking heat will impact millions in US This June marked the 50th anniversary of LGBTQ Pride celebrations in the nation's capital. In Washington, DC, and across the nation, Pride was the usual affair — parades, music, rainbow decorations — but some felt it was in some ways overshadowed by President Donald Trump's administration, which advocates say has rolled back rights for LGBTQ Americans. Ahead of this year's Pride Month, the Kennedy Center canceled a week's worth of events celebrating LGBTQ rights. The White House did not issue a Pride Month proclamation this year — or during Trump's first administration, reversing a tradition that started in 1999. 1️⃣ Pride and protest: Earlier this month, Washington, DC, hosted World Pride 2025, an international festival celebrating the LGBTQ community. The event included a parade and free concerts plus a march on the National Mall. 🏳️🌈 Icon spotlight: Harvey Milk was the first openly gay male politician elected to San Francisco's Board of Supervisors in 1977. The Trump administration ordered Milk's name be stripped from a US Naval Ship that had been named after him in 2019. Milk served in the Korean War and was forced to resign from the Navy due to his sexuality. 2️⃣ Brands stay quiet: Once common during Pride Month, LGBTQ-themed merchandise, rainbow decorations and social media campaigns were scaled back or silenced this year as some corporations avoid provoking the Trump administration, which plans to investigate companies with DEI programs. 3️⃣ Youth support and rights: The Trump administration announced last week the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline's specialized services for LGBTQ youth will no longer be in operation starting July 17. The Supreme Court on Wednesday upheld Tennessee's ban on gender-affirming care for trans minors. 📸 In pictures: As a gay teen, his dad didn't support him. Now the pair are bringing drag shows to rural towns. 4️⃣ 'We're not afraid': CNN spoke with trans people over the age of 60 about their lives and what they've learned from watching the battle for trans rights unfold. Some say after watching decades of progress, the current moment feels like a step back. Others said they feel resilient. 5️⃣ Freedom under fire: With the Supreme Court's reversal of Roe v. Wade, some advocates worry its decision that ruled same-sex marriage as a fundamental right could be next. Southern Baptists recently called for Obergefell v. Hodges to be overturned, as well as a ban on gay marriage.

One item on the table is whether all alliance members will agree to a broad defense spending target of 5% of gross domestic product, a key demand made by President Trump, who will attend the summit. Trump has frequently criticized NATO members for not spending enough money on defense and has threatened to leave the alliance. New York City will hold a Democratic mayoral primary. Eleven candidates are on the ballot, including former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and a pack of several progressive challengers led by Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani. Meanwhile, in Venice, the stage is set for the highly anticipated nuptials between multi-billionaire Jeff Bezos and his bride-to-be, Lauren Sanchez. Three days of celebrations will reportedly kick off on Bezos' $500-million superyacht, Koru, which will be anchored in the Venice lagoon. WednesdayThe Senate Commerce Committee is scheduled to vote on President Trump's nominee to lead the FAA.
