Once led by government agencies like NASA, the space race ecosystem is now run by private companies like Elon Musk’s SpaceX and Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin. Billions of dollars are now flowing into this hot sector, which the World Economic Forum predicts will be worth $1.8 trillion by 2035. The nascent industry isn’t just a profit opportunity, according to two space tech executives who spoke Wednesday at Fortune’s Brainstorm Tech conference in Park City, Utah. Returning to the moon is also a “moral imperative,” said Jarrett Matthews, founder and CEO of Astrolabs, a planetary logistics startup that recently won a…

Perhaps this has led to management putting unhealthy pressure on salespeople to make sure customers don’t leave without buying more than they planned. As a result, salespeople often make misleading and dishonest statements to pressure customers into buying extra items like accessories or insurance. If they fail to do so, they may receive a warning from their superiors or managers or have their commission reduced.If customers think they can avoid unwanted purchase solicitations by shopping elsewhere, they may be surprised to learn that the practice extends to third-party retailers as well. T-Mobile’s preferred retailer Arch Telecom is accused of squeezing…

Last Friday, the European Commission conveyed its preliminary opinion to Company X that the company violated the Digital Services Act (DSA), a set of European online safety regulations. After the announcement, some media quickly reported that the Commission had “accused Elon Musk’s Company X of spreading false information.” In a conspiratorial tone, Elon Musk accused the Commission of offering Company X an “illegal secret deal” in which the Commission would not fine the company if Company X secretly censored speech without telling anyone.Both positions are one-sided: the preliminary investigation is narrower in scope than the original and does not explicitly…

Two very different Democratic leaders have recently openly expressed their ideologies, bringing contrasting perspectives into sharp focus. On the one hand, Rep. Suzan DelBene (D-Washington) has forcefully defended the benefits of US leadership in the global economy, including market-opening trade agreements and support for US technology companies. On the other hand, Rep. Katherine Tai, as she has done throughout her term as trade representative, has warned about the dangers inherent in the US’s traditional trade liberalization policies, which she believes promote inequality, social injustice and domestic monopolies. Congresswoman DelBene represents Washington State’s 1st Congressional District, which is generally liberal but…

Fungi’s ability to digest contaminated plastics, oil spills, toxic waste and even cleanse the natural environment from radiation is garnering attention around the world.
