Japan's space agency, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), successfully conducted the maiden flight test of its experimental reusable rocket on Saturday, marking a significant step toward developing reusable launch technology aimed at reducing launch costs and strengthening the country's competitiveness in the global space industry. The RV-X rocket lifted off from JAXA's Noshiro Rocket Testing Center in northeastern Japan, ascended vertically, hovered, moved horizontally while maintaining an upright position, and landed safely during a flight lasting less than one minute. According to JAXA, the vehicle reached an altitude of about 11 meters and traveled approximately 16 meters horizontally before touching down as planned. The successful test represents an important milestone in Japan's efforts to develop reusable launch vehicles that could eventually succeed the country's current H3 rocket, the mainstay of its space launch program, which is designed for single use.

Meta announced it is discontinuing an artificial intelligence feature launched earlier this week that allowed users to generate images using content from public Instagram accounts, after it drew widespread criticism over privacy concerns."Our intent was to provide a useful creative tool and give people control over whether their public content could be referenced in this way," Meta said in a statement.The company acknowledged, however, that the feature "missed the mark" after receiving extensive feedback from users, privacy advocates and industry groups, prompting its withdrawal.Meta introduced the feature on Tuesday alongside Muse Image, its first image-generation model developed by Meta Superintelligence Labs.Integrated into the Meta AI chatbot, the model can generate and edit images using photos as input, with users able to refine the results through sketches.The Instagram feature quickly sparked backlash because it relied on an opt-out system, meaning public content could be used unless users explicitly disabled the setting, raising concerns over privacy and user consent.
