In the continuing saga of billionaires and big rockets comes Amazon founder Jeff Bezos with his latest space vehicle, New Glenn.
The rocket, which stands taller than the Statue of Liberty, is named after NASA astronaut John Glenn, the first person to orbit Earth in 1962. Though much shorter than SpaceX's towering Starship, it is about the size of NASA's mega moon rocket, the Space Launch System.
Years in the making, the commercial rocket is on the verge of its maiden flight.
On Friday, while strapped firmly to its launchpad in Cape Canaveral, Florida, New Glenn nailed its final dress rehearsal, firing all seven of its engines for 24 seconds. It was the first time Bezos' company, Blue Origin, had operated the entire stacked rocket as an integrated system. Flashes from the engines pierced through billows of steam, like cracks of lightning amid storm clouds.
"Next stop launch," said Bezos in a post on X, the social media platform owned by his space launch competitor, Elon Musk. Despite their rivalry, Musk replied with a wish for godspeed.
SEE ALSO: Bezos can finally make NASA a moon lander. It's called Blue Moon. Tweet may have been deletedA video of the test, called a hot fire, can be watched in the above post. The demonstration involved a complete fueling and practice countdown. New Glenn's booster runs on methane and liquid oxygen, while the second stage of the rocket, which propels a spacecraft further into space, runs on liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen.
When all seven booster engines are firing in concert, they produce enough horsepower for two Nimitz-class aircraft carriers at full tilt, said David Limp, Blue Origin's CEO. For 13 seconds of the hot fire test, New Glenn was operating at 100 percent of its thrust capacity.
Bezos started Blue Origin in 2000, but its first small rocket, New Shepard, has primarily focused on space tourism, providing short flights for wealthy passengers to the cusp of space and back.

FALLON / AFP via Getty ImagesBut the company has aspirations to do much more. It's building a lunar lander for NASA, to be named Blue Moon, that will perform several uncrewed test flights with the New Glenn rocket, before ferrying Artemis V astronauts from lunar orbit to the surface of the moon.
It's also building a commercial space station, dubbed Orbital Reef. NASA awarded Blue Origin a $130 million contract to build it as the U.S. space agency tries to transition to a new model of space research, wherein businesses own and operate space labs in low-Earth orbit and NASA becomes one of their many customers.
Just prior to Friday's test, the Federal Aviation Administration issued Blue Origin a launch license for New Glenn, its final administrative approval. Though the company hasn't yet announced when it will attempt a liftoff, an FAA operational advisory indicates a tentative plan of a launch window opening at 11:30 p.m. ET on Dec. 31, with a backup window at the same time on New Year's Day.
"Well, all we have left to do is mate our encapsulated payload…and then LAUNCH!" Limp said on X. "Congrats to the many Blue folks on today's test."

That sea-based landing platform, named Jacklyn, is one of the largest remotely operated vessels in the world. The company hopes to be able to reuse a single booster at least 25 times. Reusability is an important facet of the burgeoning commercial space industry, significantly lowering the cost per launch.
Blue Origin wanted to get to this point months ago. The inaugural flight was slated for October, which would have included two Mars orbiters built by Rocket Lab for NASA. Had New Glenn launched then, the twin spacecraft would have taken advantage of the planetary alignment that shortens the travel time to the Red Planet, an average of 140 million miles away from Earth.
NASA and Blue Origin are now in talks for a potential launch for that mission, known as Escapade, no earlier than spring 2025.

Hackers hijacked a number of Chrome extensions this past week, according to a new report from Reuters. The attack was first noticed by cyber security company Cyberhaven, which was one of the companies affected by the hack.
In a blog post from Cyberhaven, the company says the cyberattack inserted malicious code into these Chrome extensions in an attempt to steal user data such as web browser cookies and authentication. The hackers appear to have specifically been looking to obtain access to social media advertising accounts, specifically Facebook Ads accounts, and AI platform credentials.
According to Cyberhaven, the hackers pushed an updated version of its Chrome extension with the malicious code to users on Christmas Eve. The company became aware of the hack on Christmas Day and immediately pushed out a fix within an hour. The company began informing users of the hack on Friday morning with an email notification.
Other Chrome extensions confirmed to have been injected with the malicious code include Internxt VPN, ParrotTalks, Uvoice, and VPNCity. Each of these Chrome extensions has tens of thousands of users, according to the public stats on the Chrome Web Store.
The attack began after a hacker successfully targeted a Cyberhaven employee via a phishing email that was sent to Chrome extension developers. The employee, believing the email was an official Google contact, clicked the email and input their login credentials on the phishing page.
Cyberhaven doesn't believe the attackers were targeting any specific companies, but rather sending out a mass phishing campaign and then going forward with any recipient that clicked through.
At this time, it's unclear as to how many users of these Chrome extensions have been affected.
Apple fans who were looking to buy an iPhone SE or iPhone 14 from the company in the EU are out of luck.
All of Apple's devices utilizing Lightning ports have now been pulled from stores.
On Saturday, Dec. 28, the European Union's new rules making USB-C the standard connection for charging smartphones, tablets, and other electronic devices officially went into effect. As a result, Apple has removed all of its Lightning-based devices from Apple Stores.
SEE ALSO: Apple explains why it will never build a search engineApple devices with Lightning ports that were still being sold by the company, like the iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, and iPhone SE, were fully removed from the Apple Store on Friday, as reported by MacRumors.
The Lightning-based devices are no longer available on the online Apple Store in countries like Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland. The Verge also confirmed the removal of these devices from Apple's EU Apple Stores.
Because the law only covers countries in the EU, Apple can still sell Lightning products in the U.S. and elsewhere.
The EU's USB-C charging mandate was approved in 2022 and forced companies to move to the standard by the end of 2024. The following year, Apple confirmed that the iPhone 15 would be the first Apple device to ditch the company's Lightning port and adopt the USB-C standard. By September 2024, Apple officially replaced every product using the Lightning port with a USB-C version.
While the iPhone 14 was succeeded by USB-C devices in the iPhone 15 and iPhone 16, the iPhone SE hasn't been updated since 2022. So, for now, those in the EU looking to buy Apple's cheapest iPhone model are going to have to wait. Apple is expected to launch a new iPhone SE in March. And, yes, this one will have a USB-C charging port.
TikTok, the popular viral video platform, is still slated to be banned in the U.S. next year. And with 2024 coming to an end, the January 19, 2025 ban date for TikTok is fast approaching.
Just weeks before Christmas, the Supreme Court of the United States agreed to hear an appeal filed by TikTok and its parent company ByteDance. The oral arguments in that case are set to begin Jan. 10.
However, President-elect Donald Trump, who will be inaugurated on Jan. 20, just one day after the pending TikTok ban, is urging the Supreme Court to just grant a stay on the TikTok ban deadline date.
Why? Because Trump humbly claims that only he can solve the issue and save TikTok from being banned.
Trump to SCOTUS: Let me save TikTokIn his message to the Supreme Court, Trump asserts a myriad of reasons as to why he's uniquely positioned to address the supposed national security concerns tied with TikTok being owned by a China-based company while simultaneously saving the platform from a ban.
In the brief, Trump drops how many followers he has on TikTok (more than 14 million) and how the platform played a crucial role in his successful reelection campaign. The president-elect makes mention of Brazil's recent ban on Elon Musk's X, formerly known as Twitter, to showcase a similar case of "historic danger" when a government bans a social media platform. In addition, Trump also cites his expertise as the founder of "another resoundingly successful social-media platform," Truth Social, to show why he has specific insight on the issues.
And, of course, Trump highlights that he's the best at making deals.
"President Trump alone possesses the consummate dealmaking expertise, the electoral mandate, and the political will to negotiate a resolution to save the platform while addressing the national security concerns expressed by the Government—concerns which President Trump himself has acknowledged," reads an amicus brief filed by Trump to the court on Friday.
Trump did want to ban TikTok but doesn't want to anymoreReaders may recall that TikTok ban talks began under the first Trump administration. In fact, Trump was on the verge of going forward with an actual TikTok ban in late 2020. TikTok went out of its way to partner with the U.S.-based Oracle to host all of its U.S.-related data to meet Trump's terms to avoid a ban.
However, after Trump lost in 2020, TikTok's pending ban was basically abandoned by the first Trump administration.
Under the Biden administration, the concerns regarding ByteDance's ownership of TikTok were renewed resulting in the latest move to force the China-based company to sell TikTok or lose its ability to operate in the U.S. Now, after utilizing TikTok for his winning 2024 reelection bid, Trump is singing a different tune about the platform.
Earlier this month, Trump met with TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew at Mar-a-lago. Then, right before Christmas, at an event for the conservative organization Turning Point USA, shared his views on TikTok to the crowd.
"They brought me a chart, and it was a record, and it was so beautiful to see, and as I looked at it, I said, 'Maybe we gotta keep this sucker around for a little while,'" Trump said after claiming his TikTok videos receive "billions of views."
It's unclear as to what stats Trump was referring to, as his highest-performing video on TikTok was the first one he posted, which received 179 million views. Trump hasn't posted on TikTok since before the polls closed on election day.

Jan. 1 is Public Domain Day, meaning artworks from 1929 (or 1924 in the case of sound recordings) are now free for all creators to use and abuse to their hearts' content.
The works of art, music, literature, and film now entering the public domain will be yours, mine, and everyone's. You can try and do something rude or irreverent with the characters they depict, or if you want you can do something truly subversive: make them into something beautiful.
Below is a breakdown of everything you need to know about the freshly released creative works you can now treat as your own personal outline, canvas, inspiration, or collage material.
What's Public Domain Day again?We’re now entering the sixth year since a decades-long freeze on copyright finally thawed, and activists and copyright law experts — notably Jennifer Jenkins of Duke University — started trumpeting each Jan. 1 as a new de facto holiday called "Public Domain Day." 2025 is no different, with notable public domain releases dropping on New Year’s Day including still-electrifying books by Earnest Hemingway and William Faulkner, talkie films including at least one by Alfred Hitchcock, and the further unspooling of copyright protection on the bibliographies of Agatha Christie and Virginia Woolf.
SEE ALSO: How people are using Mickey Mouse in his post-copyright eraHowever, like last year when Steamboat Willie-era Mickey Mouse emerged from the public domain vault, some of the most significant pieces of freshly unshackled public domain art are the original appearances of two still-popular cartoon characters: Popeye and Tintin.
What’s the big idea with Popeye, spinach, and the public domain?Where Popeye is concerned, it’s worth immediately drilling down on what this all means for creators who want to tell their own stories about the spinach-scarfing sailor. Long story short: they can do almost anything they want with him, and yes that includes having him eat spinach.
You may have seen it reported elsewhere that derivative works exploiting Popeye’s new public domain status can’t show him using spinach as a power-up. This would be massively disappointing since the spinach ex machina moment in every Popeye fight scene is a cornerstone of the character’s iconography.
Tweet may have been deletedPopeye emerged about ten years into the long run of Thimble Theatre, a comic strip by E. C. Segar. In the 1929 installment "Gobs of Work," the extant character Olive Oyl (who has already been in the public domain for years, for the record) encounters a scrunchy-faced tough guy in sailor garb named Popeye and asks if he is in fact a sailor. His surly rejoinder, "'Ja think I’m a cowboy?" is succinct proof that Popeye’s personality emerged fully fleshed-out. The trouble, however, is that in 1929 Popeye was never shown eating spinach. In fact, the character "initially derived superhuman capabilities from rubbing the head feathers of Bernice the Whiffle Hen," Jenkins, the Duke University copyright law expert told me.
In theory, this could seriously limit what creators can do with Popeye. Not only can’t he be depicted duking it out with Bluto — who doesn’t appear until 1932 — nor saving the life of his ward, Swee’Pea — not introduced until 1933 — but he has to be strong to the finish because he... massages an exotic bird? Would that even be Popeye content at all?
Fortunately, Jenkins told me, there’s a pretty solid loophole that creators can exploit here: the copyright on a later strip from 1931 has lapsed early, and in that strip, Popeye announces in no uncertain terms that his superpowers derive from spinach:
Credit: public domainJenkins and her colleagues, she told me, pinpointed the above strip as the first reference to spinach in Thimble Theatre, and found that the copyright on that particular strip hasn’t been renewed, "so this feature actually appears to be public domain." Jenkins and company searched for the strip in legal records for Popeye, Thimble Theatre, the distributor King Features Syndicate, and everything else that could tie up the strip’s copyright status, and its copyright truly appears to have vaporized entirely.
The copyright-free status of that 1931 strip, however, doesn’t unlock the whole Popeye character until Public Domain Day. Essentially, Jenkins explained, "Everything in the 1931 comic that derives from the original 1929 Popeye (such as the character) is still copyrighted until 2025, but new details that appeared only in that 1931 comic, such as spinach power, has long been public domain, so we can bring them together next year."
That’s great news for creators who can now express themselves all they want through the Popeye character — or, more likely, churn the beloved cartoon character into a lazy and terrible slasher movie, as is their right.
Tintin in the Land of Public Domain"Tintin enters the U.S. public domain in 2025 but is still copyrighted in the E.U. until 2054, because the author died in 1983," according to Jenkins' blog post about Public Domain Day 2025. It's a relatively rare case of U.S. public domain law being less stringent than the laws abroad.
At any rate, Tintin started entirely as a work of anti-communist propaganda printed in a Belgian fascist newspaper called Le Vingtième Siècle. In the series of strips now entering the public domain, Tintin is employed as a plucky foreign correspondent for Le Vingtième Siècle deployed to Moscow, en route to which he is almost immediately attacked by a bomb-throwing Bolshevik terrorist, and then further accosted by censorious commies for being a bourgeois pig who threatens to blow the whistle on the reds and their evil exploits.
However, Tintin is every bit his adventurous self, even in this early form, and his dog Snowy is along for the ride. If you want to spin your own Tintin yarns, with or without a hard right-wing slant, nothing should stop you from following your muse.
Mickey talks!You'll recall that Mickey Mouse officially entered the public domain last year, and there was a bit of handwringing about whether derivative works were allowed to depict him in white gloves or — since he was kind of a jerk in the early films — be cheerful. And since 1928 Mickey's utterances were basically limited to whistling, it was pretty clear that he couldn't talk. This year the vise around the version of Mickey we all know and love will ease a bit, because The Karnival Kid, in which Mickey speaks his first words — "Hot dogs! Hot dogs!" — will be unlocked. And if his raspy smoker's voice in The Karnival Kid puts you off, never fear, in shorts like The Haunted House, Mickey's voice — and personality — settle into familiar and appropriately Mousey territory.
Somewhat unrelatedly, The Skeleton Dance, the first of Walt Disney's Silly Symphonies series will also enter the public domain, which is great news because The Skeleton Dance still whips.
Keep in mind, as usual, that these Disney properties still may be part of legitimate trademarks, which is different from copyright. This means it would be ill-advised, legally speaking, to open a restaurant called Mickey's Hot Dogs! Hot Dogs! in honor of The Karnival Kid. Someone might reasonably think the restaurant is affiliated with The Walt Disney Company (And come to think of it, it would be wise to tread lightly around the Popeye trademark while you're at it, for related — though somewhat different — reasons).
T.S. Eliot’s Ash WednesdayT.S. Eliot's The Waste Land has already been in the public domain for years, meaning nothing has been stopping you for complaining that "April is the cruellest month," without fear of lawyers beating down your door. Ash Wednesday, about Eliot's rough journey to faith through Orthodox Christianity is about to be available for use and adaptation too.
My suggested use for Ash Wedensday would be to intone it in a growl over slow, heavy guitars, because, like The Waste Land, most of it is, well, pretty metal:
At the first turning of the second stair
I turned and saw below
The same shape twisted on the banister
Under the vapour in the fetid air
Struggling with the devil of the stairs who wears
The deceitul face of hope and of despair.
At the second turning of the second stair
I left them twisting, turning below;
There were no more faces and the stair was dark,
Damp, jaggèd, like an old man's mouth drivelling, beyond repair,
Or the toothed gullet of an agèd shark.
If you read it in high school, you already know the deal with A Room of One's Own: It's a foundational feminist text that was spicy for its time, including the shocker of a line "Sometimes women do like women." The basic argument that a woman literally needs a quiet space to be creative — and enough money to feed herself — in order to sustain a writing career may not be breaking news, but the broader message about women's intellectual freedom is still resonant.
You can now freely riff on A Room of One's Own, making it into a documentary, a song, or some kind of experimental work of architecture.
The Sound and the Fury by William FaulknerJames Franco had to license The Sound and the Fury to make his 2014 film adaptation of Faulkner's stone-cold classic of modernist storytelling.
Unfortunately, well, the less is said about Franco's film the better. But here's the good news: you can answer Franco's whiffed adaptation with one of your own, and since it's entering the public domain in 2025, you don't even have to pay for the material.
Gershwin’s An American in Paris and Ravel’s BoléroAmong the newly copyright-free musical compositions, two masterpieces stand out: An American in Paris, a musical "tone poem" by George Gershwin, which captures the vibe of postwar life (a lot of what's entering the public domain right now is about capturing the vibe of postwar life), and Maurice Ravel's hypnotic Boléro — a composition you might not know you love. Go listen to it right now on the streaming service of your choice and tell me I'm wrong.
Boléro is also part of an interesting bit of copyright history: it became an unlikely pop hit in 1980 when it was featured in an NSFW scene in the raunchy Dudley Moore movie 10 and raked in massive royalty checks for the Ravel estate. Those days are over now, and if you want to make money from Bolero, no one else has to get a taste of the profits.
Alfred Hitchcock’s BlackmailHitchcock’s first sound film, Blackmail, is now in the public domain — so like everything else on this list it's now free for you to reinterpret or transform.
It's also just an awesome Hitchcock movie with the kind of visual flair you associate with Psycho. You don't have to be an artist to take advantage of its public domain status. You can just project it on the side of the biggest building in town and charge admission.
Salvador Dalí’s The Great MasturbatorWith a title like The Great Masturbator, you know it has to be a good painting, and boy is it ever. You almost certainly know this Salvador Dalí masterpiece, depicting an erotic and gruesome pastiche of sensual anatomy, faces, and one disturbingly latched-on grasshopper. Want to decorate the side of your minivan with it? Literally nothing is stopping you — other than maybe a sense of tact.
