The Galaxy S10 is the hottest Android phone in town right now, a phone that brings over a brand new design, as well as a series of novel features that were not available on previous Galaxy S or Note models.

The Infinity-O OLED screen, the ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, and support for 1TB of flash are unique Galaxy S10 features. But we already saw 7nm processors, triple-lens cameras, and reverse wireless charging on other devices — the Huawei Mate 20 deserves extra credit here, beating the Galaxy S10 to market with these technologies by several months.

NASA is betting big on its Space Launch System and Orion spacecraft as a one-two punch that will send astronauts on missions to the Moon and beyond. Both the Orion and SLS are currently in development, but they’re not progressing at nearly the same rate.
