The Daily's Verdict

This news site has a mixed reputation for journalistic standards. It is advisable to fact-check, scrutinize for bias, and check for conflicts of interest before relying on its reporting.

Bias

85%

Examples:

  • The bias in the articles is generally neutral. The only potential biases found were a slight positive bias towards NASA and its missions.

Conflicts of Interest

50%

Examples:

  • There are no clear conflicts of interest found in the articles.

Contradictions

70%

Examples:

  • The article mentions that there is no current plan to develop a lunar time standard but also states that NASA has until the end of 2026 to set up Coordinated Lunar Time (LTC).
  • There are some contradictions in the information provided about NASA's plans for developing lunar time standard.

Deceptions

10%

Examples:

  • The article is generally truthful and does not appear to be intentionally misleading. The only potential deception was that NASA has until the end of 2026 to set up Coordinated Lunar Time (LTC) but it's unclear if this is accurate or a typo.

    SpaceX Shifts Dragon Splashdowns from East to West Coast for Safer, More Efficient Recovery Process

    Broke On: Friday, 26 July 2024 SpaceX, in response to debris concerns, will move Dragon splashdowns from the East Coast to the West Coast starting in 2025. This decision follows at least five instances of debris reaching Earth's surface during crewed missions. To mitigate risks, SpaceX will implement a software change for Dragon to execute its deorbit burn before jettisoning the trunk. The shift in recovery operations aims to reduce debris impact on populated areas and improve scheduling predictability.

    SpaceX's Falcon 9 Rocket Failure: Cracked Sense Line Causes Ten Starlink Satellites to Re-enter Earth's Atmosphere

    Broke On: Thursday, 11 July 2024 During the second stage engine burn of a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket carrying twenty Starlink satellites on July 11, 2024, a crack in a sense line for a pressure sensor caused an oxygen leak and excessive cooling, leading to engine damage and loss of ten satellites. The FAA investigation identified fatigue from engine vibration and clamp looseness as the cause. SpaceX has taken immediate action by removing the faulty components and implementing preventative measures.

    SpaceX Suffers Rare Setback: Liquid Oxygen Leak Causes Loss of 20 Starlink Satellites, FAA Reviews Return to Flight Operations

    Broke On: Monday, 15 July 2024 On July 11, 2024, a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket carrying Starlink satellites suffered an unexpected liquid oxygen leak during launch, resulting in the loss of all 20 satellites. The FAA is reviewing SpaceX's request to resume launches while the cause of the anomaly is investigated. Despite this setback, SpaceX is confident in resolving the issue and implementing corrective measures to prevent future incidents.

    NASA Astronauts Extend Stay at ISS Due to Boeing Starliner's Propulsion System Issues

    Broke On: Wednesday, 10 July 2024 NASA astronauts Sunita Williams and Barry Wilmore have unexpectedly extended their stay at the International Space Station due to issues with Boeing's Starliner spacecraft. The spacecraft encountered problems with its propulsion system involving helium leaks and malfunctioning thrusters during its approach to the ISS. NASA is currently testing one of Starliner's RCS thrusters to ensure its performance during the return journey, which will help engineers understand the root cause of these issues. The Boeing Starliner spacecraft is a crucial part of NASA's Commercial Crew Program, providing transportation for astronauts to and from the ISS.

    SpaceX's Falcon 9 Suffers Unusual Malfunction, 20 Starlink Satellites Deployed into Lower Orbit

    Broke On: Thursday, 11 July 2024 SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket, with over 350 successful launches since 2010, experienced an unexpected malfunction during a second-stage booster burn on July 11, resulting in the deployment of Starlink satellites into a lower than intended orbit. Preliminary findings suggest high atmospheric drag caused the electric propulsion system to fail. SpaceX and FAA are investigating while Falcon 9 is grounded indefinitely.
