ARLINGTON— The Navy took a major step forward in delivering game-changing hypersonic strike power to carrier pilots when it awarded California startup Castelion a contract nearing $105 million to fully integrate the Blackbeard hypersonic weapon onto the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet. The deal puts U.S. forces on a fast track to field its first operational air-launched hypersonic strike weapon from carrier decks by 2027. Unlike land-based ballistic missiles, Blackbeard is made for Navy aircraft carriers and can be launched from an F/A-18 fighter jet operating hundreds of miles from shore, giving the U.S. enhanced capabilities to strike an adversary’s missile batteries...

Swiss chocolate maker Barry Callebaut on Thursday slashed its operating profit forecast, citing falling cocoa prices, industry overcapacity and potential supply disruption linked to the Iran war. The company, which is the world’s largest chocolate maker, said it now expected earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) to decrease by “mid-teens” percentage in its 2025 to 2026 fiscal year. The outlook reflects a significant downgrade from just three months earlier, when the Zurich-headquartered company said it was preparing for a return to growth. Hein Schumacher, who was appointed Barry Callebaut CEO in late January, said Thursday that the firm has an...

In a move that feels less like a corporate transaction and more like the final punchline to a 40-year industry rivalry, AMD announced Wednesday that it has agreed to acquire Intel, the company it has spent decades chasing, imitating, undercutting, suing, licensing from, and lately outperforming. The all-stock transaction, which AMD described as a "once-in-a-generation opportunity to unify x86 innovation," would combine the two companies under a single umbrella just a few years after such an outcome would have sounded ridiculous. For most of modern computing history, Intel was the empire and AMD the scrappy survivor, the perpetual second source...

For generations, the conventional wisdom went something like this: serious money lives in New York. The serious decisions about who gets capital, who gets to list on an exchange, who gets to participate in the grand machinery of American finance—all of it emanated from a few square miles of lower Manhattan, governed by institutions so entrenched they seemed geological. Wall-Street wasn’t just an address. It was a statement about where power lived and who held it. That era is ending. And the remarkable thing isn’t simply that it’s ending — it’s why it’s ending, and what that tells us about...

In 2002, a part-time single mother at a small rocketry consultancy was driving on an LA freeway when she decided she was being an idiot for not taking a job at a startup with zero successful launches and seven employees. Gwynne Shotwell joined SpaceX as employee number seven. Her job: convince governments and corporations to buy rides on rockets that didn't exist yet. The Falcon 1 failed three times. On the fourth attempt, September 2008, it reached orbit. Two months later, Shotwell negotiated a $1.6 billion NASA contract that saved the company from bankruptcy. She was promoted to President the...

I have had Marketwatch on my list of favorites as my “go to” website for financial news for quite some time. I’m becoming increasingly weary of their negative spin on virtually everything related to this administration. I understand that this bias is probably due to Marketwatch being a product of the Wall Street Journal. I’m not avoidant of negativity in reporting but sometimes the bias seems over the top. Any suggestions on where to obtain online reporting on the economy and finances that may be more objective?

So, I try to use Universe Sandbox to visualize this.... and it's not easy. For technical reasons this is a limited version visualizing the kind of orbits we expect, but you can play with it yourself if you own Universe Sandbox.
