SpaceX aborted the launch of two communications satellites just before liftoff on Monday evening (July 21).
A Falcon 9 rocket topped with two of SES' O3b mPOWER internet spacecraft was set to launch from Florida's Cape Canaveral Space Force Station at 5:27 p.m. EDT (2127 GMT) on Monday.
But it didn't quite happen: SpaceX called an abort just 11 seconds before liftoff. The launch window extended for another 90 minutes or so, but the company soon decided to stand down for the day.
"Standing down from today's launch of the @SES_Satellites O3b mPOWER mission and now targeting tomorrow, July 22 for liftoff. Vehicle and payload remain healthy," SpaceX said via X on Monday evening.
At the time of this article's publication, the company had not yet explained what caused the abort.
The two-hour launch window on Tuesday opens at 5:12 p.m. EDT (2112 GMT). SpaceX will stream the action live via its website and X account, beginning about 15 minutes before liftoff.

Microsoft Rushes To Plug SharePoint Flaws After Wave Of Cyber Intrusions

Reports suggest that Chinese?linked hackers exploited two unpatched flaws in on?premises SharePoint to breach around 100 organizations in a single weekend. Microsoft (MFT) rushed out fixes and urged everyone to update right away. On July 19, the Microsoft Security Response Center flagged a spoofing bug (CVE?2025?49706) and a remote code execution hole (CVE?2025?49704) in on?premises SharePoint. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 7 Warning Sign with MSFT. Advanced groups known as Linen Typhoon and Violet Typhoon have been chaining these vulnerabilities to slip into servers, and a less familiar actor called Storm?2603 is now using them too. Their favorite targets include government agencies, think tanks and universities across the U.S., Europe and East Asia. If your IT team hasn't applied the new SharePoint patches, any exposed server is at risk of having data from defense plans to donor lists stolen overnight. Microsoft pointed out that SharePoint Online in Microsoft 365 isn't affected, making the cloud version a safer bet when it comes to rapid security updates. Rolling out fixes is one thing; getting them installed in complex, custom environments is another. Until everyone catches up, expect more breach headlines. This incident is a stark reminder of why many organizations are accelerating moves from traditional on?premises software to cloud?hosted alternatives.

$515M Bet on Musk, AI, and Space: Glade Brook Goes All-In While Others Retreat

Glade Brook Capital Partners just pulled in $515 million for its fourth fund and it's placing its bets on the edge of what's next: AI, space, defense, and fintech. The firm, which already holds stakes in SpaceX, Stripe, and Elon Musk's Neuralink, plans to double down on late-stage tech startups navigating some of the most volatile capital markets in recent memory. Founder Paul Hudson didn't sugarcoat the conditions, calling it the most challenging fundraising environment he's seen in his career even as the fund ended up oversubscribed. Despite the headwinds, Glade Brook is leaning into momentum. It's already backing Musk's xAI and Artisan AI, signaling a clear tilt toward artificial intelligence. That comes on top of a portfolio that includes ramping fintech player Ramp and previously backed giants like Uber (NYSE:UBER) and Airbnb (NASDAQ:ABNB). And in a move that tracks closely with broader market appetite, the firm is betting that innovation in complex, capital-intensive sectors like AI and defense could offer asymmetric upside if timed right. Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) remains part of the broader Musk-aligned orbit Glade Brook is exposed to, adding even more edge to its late-stage tech focus. Their 2021 fund a $430 million vehicle reportedly ranks in the top 5% of its vintage, according to private Cambridge Associates data. While past performance doesn't guarantee future returns, it does suggest Glade Brook knows how to play late-stage cycles. In a market where many VCs are stuck in wait-and-see mode, Glade Brook appears to be playing offense betting that when the next wave breaks, it'll be the firms already in position that ride it the farthest.

I'm worried about the underwhelming Pixel 10 leaks. Do you feel the same?

Google 🗣️ This is an open thread. We want to hear from you! Share your thoughts in the comments and vote in the poll below — your take might be featured in a future roundup. The Google Pixel series launch is usually a marquee event on the Android device calendar. Usually innovative in unexpected ways, the Pixel devices of previous years have pushed divergent designs, impressive camera performance, and an onslaught of AI features. But, with the Pixel 10 launch just a few weeks away and the leak cycle now in full rotation, I'm feeling decidedly underwhelmed by what I've seen so far. Sure, the new colorways are interesting, even if the base Pixel 10 shades are more exciting than what Google could offer for Pro buyers. The XL devices, at least according to leaks, carry some of the least inspiring colorways I've seen. Based on official leaks, the overall design of the phones will mirror the Pixel 9 series, so no significant developments there. And as for hardware, there's arguably more to be excited about with the Pixel 11 series than this year's incoming devices. According to one crystal ball viewing, the promise of 2nm Tensor chips is just one of the potential improvements that could grace the 2026 devices. So, while I should be excited for another big Android flagship smartphone arrival, I'm just not feeling the buzz this year, even as a Pixel phone owner. What are your thoughts about the upcoming Pixel device debuts? Let me know your thoughts. Here are some more questions: Are you excited about this year's Pixel smartphone launch, or are you more intrigued by the peripheral products that should be on display? Which Pixel 10 device are you most likely to purchase (if you're in the market for one)? What are some of the features you're still hoping to see on the Pixel 10 series? What would you want to see if you could wish for a 'one more thing' moment at the upcoming Pixel launch? Be sure to vote in the poll below, too! Based on the leaks so far, which Pixel 10 model would you buy? 2090 votes Pixel 10 38 % Pixel 10 Pro 30 % Pixel 10 Pro XL 26 % Pixel 10 Pro Fold 7 % 👇Sound off in the comments section below with your views.
