 For a few minutes it looked like a perfect landing, as a prototype of Elon Musk’s fabled Starship returned to Earth and dropped gently on to a launch pad in Texas.
Spectators hailed a breakthrough in the race to build a reusable rocket. Then it exploded. “Oh! Oh God, it just blew up!” shouted a commentator named Tim Dodd, breaking off from an encomium about the landing and all that it signified for the future of human space travel. “That’s history, my friends,” he had been saying. “Mars just got a little bit closer today!” [MORE] |

| Daft Punk have split up.
The French duo made the announcement by posting an eight-minute video clip titled Epilogue to their Facebook page.
The clip is taken from their 2008 film Electroma and features an iconic moment out in the desert before displaying a brand new graphic that proclaims '1993-2021'.
It's a typically ambiguous way for the robots to sign out after nearly three decades. However, the band's publicist Kathryn Frazier has confirmed that this is indeed the end. [MORE] |

 As we approach a full year of the world getting turned upside down, it's only natural to feel nostalgic for the New York life we once knew. Which, despite being filled with swanky bars and restaurants, fun events, and a busy-bee sense of hustle, was actually made truly magical by all those little moments and fleeting experiences so signature to the fabric of the city.

 Brooke Baldwin, one of CNN's veteran anchors who became "incredibly sick" last year with COVID-19, opened her afternoon show on Tuesday by announcing she's leaving the network in April.
Baldwin, 41, has been at CNN since 2008 – first in Atlanta and since 2014 in New York – as host of "CNN Newsroom," airing from 3 to 4 p.m. EST.
She made the announcement just after coming on air, suggesting she plans to take a break from the news. She also posted on her Instagram.
She said she will focus on her book, "Huddle," due April 6, which is about women "unlocking their collective power."
"Before we get going, let me start with some personal news: I will be leaving CNN in April," she said. She paused and gulped. [MORE] |

 New York governor Andrew Cuomo has announced the state will allow large venues to reopen from February 23 at reduced capacity with safety measures in place.
A testing pilot with the football team Buffalo Bills last month, which allowed 6,700 fans into 70,000 seater stadium, was declared an “unparalleled success” by Cuomo. Attendees were required to produce a negative COVID-19 test 72 hours before kickoff and were allowed to sit in spaced out groups of two and four, with contract tracing afterwards.
Now this same testing program is set to be extended to all large stadiums and arenas in under two weeks time. This accounts for any stadium or arena with a capacity of more than 10,000 people, and they will be allowed to open at 10% capacity to host events such music shows, performances and sports. [MORE] |

 A company catering to women and led by women has made its 31-year-old female founder a billionaire.
Shares of Bumble Inc., the owner of the dating app where women make the first move, soared 67% in its trading debut to $72 at 1:03 p.m. in New York, valuing Chief Executive Officer Whitney Wolfe Herd’s stake at $1.5 billion.
The listing caps a saga that’s both inspiration and cautionary tale for women tech founders. Wolfe Herd capitalized on an underserved market and built a multibillion-dollar company that was in a sense born from one of the most vexing obstacles to women entrepreneurs: sexual harassment. [MORE] |

 At first glance, Dominique Druckman looks like your classic Los Angeles influencer. One look at her Instagram, where she currently stands at over 340K followers, and it’s all cool workout selfies, sunkissed bikini pics, and flowy covetable outfits in the desert. One of her photos even shows her laying in a pool of roses. “Actress. model. avocado hater. #blacklivesmatter,” reads her bio.
It might come as a surprise, however, that the “pool” is actually an inflatable kiddie pool blown up in the back of a scruffy backyard. That picture of her eating decadent truffles and champagne at the Four Seasons? Also duped, courtesy of cocoa-dusted pads of butter, sparkling apple juice, and some regular person’s pool. That’s because there’s an important descriptor missing from her Instagram bio: fake famous. [MORE] |
