SpaceX’s Falcon Heavy will now fly on Wednesday, hopefully
If you were eagerly anticipating the second-ever launch of SpaceX’s Falcon Heavy rocket this past weekend, you were sorely disappointed when the company was forced to delay the launch. We had a feeling that might happen, and the launch was pushed back to today, Tuesday, April 9th, but now yet another delay has pushed it back even further.
SpaceX now says that Falcon Heavy will likely launch tomorrow, Wednesday, April 10th. Today’s would-be launch was scrubbed due to inclement weather, but Wednesday’s forecast is looking a lot more favorable, and we might finally get to see SpaceX’s mega-rocket take flight for a second time.

China’s plan to ban Bitcoin mining might actually be good news for the crypto market
Bitcoin and the entire crypto market received what can easily be perceived as bad news initially, as China is looking to make another significant play soon: Banning Bitcoin mining in the country. However, there’s also a silver lining in China’s renewed effort to regulate cryptocurrencies.
If there’s one thing that China, or any other country, can’t really do about Bitcoin and other digital currencies, it’s regulate them. But China can ban crypto businesses that don’t play by its own rules, including farms that mine Bitcoin.

The one tiny thing that made me give up my iPhone for Android
I’ve been an iPhone user since almost the very beginning. I didn’t own an original iPhone at launch, but began using Apple’s smartphones with the iPhone 3G and never looked back.
Until recently, that is.
A few days ago, I decided to make the switch to Android. It wasn’t easy. Over the past decade I’ve adopted almost every new generation of the iPhone. I had the 3GS, 4, 4s, 5, 5s, etc. The only year I sat out was the iPhone 7, but quickly jumped on the 8 and then the X. So what could have possibly forced me to jump ship?
Believe it or not, it’s the little things.

NASA says it was behind the ‘alien’ lights that scared people in Norway
NASA has spent an incredible amount of time and money searching for evidence of extraterrestrial life, but it was NASA itself that caused some in Norway to believe they were witnessing an actual alien invasion. A recent test of NASA’s Auroral Zone Upwelling Rocket Experiment (AZURE for short) created a brilliant and colorful could display in the skies above Norway, catching the eyes of locals who had absolutely no idea what they were looking at.
One look at the images of the test, which was performed to help scientists better understand the mechanics of the upper reaches of Earth’s atmosphere, and it’s easy to see why some eyewitnesses described the sighting as looking “like an alien attack.”
