  45. <h3 data-id="094d3e1c-08d3-4fdd-8be9-da93643b4894">SpaceX and the future of space exploration rests on a knife edge as Starship enters range for its next test flight just two weeks from now</h3>
  46. <p data-id="45db25b7-a2e9-4809-bb88-676aa7ff4d9e">Since it was first developed, SpaceX’s Starship has attracted a world of attention. And now, just two weeks from another potential test launch, the world is intrigued by what this next phase of space exploration can hold. This mission promises to be the most ambitious yet, following a series of test flights that have had mixed success.</p>
  47. <h2 data-id="3d5200e2-e30f-48f7-b30f-735bd0a2efe2">The Journey So Far</h2>
  48. <p data-id="a605be88-4953-4ebe-8431-cb1f2b749baf">This Starship program is an integral part of what SpaceX wishes to accomplish long-term when sending additional humans beyond Earth. Starship and its booster, Super Heavy, are intended to transport both cargo and people for missions to LEO, the Moon, Mars, and beyond. While the occasional spectacular failure has drawn attention, SpaceX has made big strides with its Starship tests to date.</p>
  49. <p data-id="a605be88-4953-4ebe-8431-cb1f2b749baf"><a href="https://robbreport.com/motors/aviation/spacex-starship-sixth-test-flight-1235984440/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class=" wp-image-287 aligncenter" src="https://techpubliserus.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/9-300x200.avif" alt="" width="452" height="301" srcset="https://techpubliserus.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/9-300x200.avif 300w, https://techpubliserus.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/9-1024x683.avif 1024w, https://techpubliserus.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/9-768x512.avif 768w, https://techpubliserus.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/9-1536x1024.avif 1536w, https://techpubliserus.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/9-2048x1365.avif 2048w" sizes="(max-width: 452px) 100vw, 452px" /></a></p>
  50. <p data-id="a605be88-4953-4ebe-8431-cb1f2b749baf">Early tests, including the first uncrewed flight of Starship in April 2023, were met with explosive failures — dramatic inflight explosions after launch. Since then, further flights have exhibited steady improvements — more systems worked as intended (stage separation) and Starship seems poised to achieve orbit speed, so the trend suggests a reliable spacecraft soon.Traditionally, hot propulsion stages are more common.</p>
  51. <p data-id="ab0162f6-8d92-49d6-9732-78274354237c">Starship is a curious amalgamation of features: stainless-steel hull, 100-ton payload bay, total reusability. This is what differentiates it from traditional rockets and matches with SpaceX&#8217;s objective to make space travel more economical by an order of magnitude. And both the Super Heavy booster and the Starship spacecraft itself are fully reusable, which could significantly reduce cost on future missions. Nevertheless, SpaceX needs to surmount plenty of engineering and safety hurdles first — the very nature of these test flights.</p>
  52. <h2 data-id="e5d9e160-801c-4711-9807-5bfb95b30ab3">Why the Upcoming Launch is so Important</h2>
  53. <p data-id="ea3993bc-d988-449e-8053-f5d16bd8cf6e">With the potential for SpaceX&#8217;s next Starship launch to take place within a fortnight, this will be more than another test flight. Each subsequent launch gets SpaceX — and the space industry as a whole — one step closer to operational status.</p>
  54. <p data-id="ea3993bc-d988-449e-8053-f5d16bd8cf6e">That launch will also test many key systems intended ultimately to make the vehicle more stable and proficient. SpaceX is hoping that upgrades, such as enhancements to Starship&#8217;s thermal protection, its reentry flaps, and its engines, will allow the spacecraft to survive the stresses of launch and reentry on interplanetary missions.</p>
  55. <p data-id="245a3ff8-8d2c-4c40-b92d-69c0d6d8c8c6"><a href="https://techpubliserus.com/how-to-keep-your-social-security-number-secure/"><img decoding="async" class=" wp-image-288 aligncenter" src="https://techpubliserus.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/10-300x225.avif" alt="" width="404" height="303" srcset="https://techpubliserus.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/10-300x225.avif 300w, https://techpubliserus.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/10-1024x768.avif 1024w, https://techpubliserus.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/10-768x576.avif 768w, https://techpubliserus.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/10-1536x1152.avif 1536w, https://techpubliserus.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/10.avif 1974w" sizes="(max-width: 404px) 100vw, 404px" /></a></p>
  56. <p data-id="245a3ff8-8d2c-4c40-b92d-69c0d6d8c8c6">If successful in the next few weeks, we could cross a crucial threshold for this program and prime SpaceX to tackle even bolder missions. The data we collect from this flight will help decide how the spacecraft is used, up to and including NASA&#8217;s Artemis missions that will take humans back to the Moon and beyond in crewed missions to Mars. Finally, the ability that Starship will provide for commercial satellite launches, point-to-point space travel and beyond — potentially even space tourism — are all additional factors into why this launch was so essential.</p>
  57. <p data-id="ad6b0866-e9d8-4bce-9ecd-12eb7a60d74f">SpaceX has had an incredible capacity to iterate quickly on its designs, taking lessons learned from prior failures and making changes. The company has been able to use that willingness to fail fast and learn early as a key competitive advantage, but the pressure is on to take one more positive step forward in this next go round. Like all the previous Starship test flights, everyone around the world will be watching closely to see whether the spacecraft can finally fly to completion without any issues.</p>
  58. <h3 data-id="91f81a6f-0b9f-4b99-a018-6d84e33af26b">Geared Up to Go: All Those Counters Will Bring No More Issues than Regulatory Hurdles and Launch Licenses</h3>
  59. <p data-id="db760015-bbf9-4eb9-884c-3e587740bdfc">Perhaps the biggest determinant for when the Starship could next fly is regulatory approval. The missions carried out by Starship are huge in scale and complexity, so SpaceX has worked closely with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to ensure it adheres to safety standards. SpaceX already has a license to launch Starship, but it has also requested that its license be amended for the next test, potentially with more environmental and safety requirements. Because the rocket—and its fuel—is so high-powered, the FAA has oversight of all space missions, especially new large-scale vehicles such as Starship.</p>
  60. <p data-id="74a4073b-c1af-4a71-8036-9cfb959a81f0">Those are some of the regulatory hurdles that must be overcome, given the need to minimize risks — particularly considering that Starship launches will affect both the local communities and the environment. SpaceX has had to tweak things significantly after the last test flight in March 2023 to ensure compliance with FAA requirements.</p>
  61. <p data-id="74a4073b-c1af-4a71-8036-9cfb959a81f0">As such, these changes consist of fine-tuning the operation of Starship&#8217;s engines during flight and refining where we expect Starship to fly in order to optimize how much (if any) debris falls back on Earth or poses a risk to public safety. While SpaceX is in constant discussion with the FAA and other regulatory agencies on its ongoing work, this is a slower process than any of the company would hope, which could push back scheduled dates.</p>
  62. <h2 data-id="302a6393-fe2b-4d95-91b4-5fdab8549b07">How this Launch Could Change the Future of Space Exploration</h2>
  63. <p data-id="1359da5c-2368-42d7-bc77-08f89e2fdbf2">Starships successfully flying would have far-reaching affects outside of SpaceX. Starship will also play a major role in NASA&#8217;s Artemis program, which is planning for the return of astronauts to the Moon and an eventual permanent presence there. NASA has contracted with SpaceX to provide the lunar lander for Artemis, and Starship success will be key for human exploration beyond Earth orbit. And with Starship, the next several months could unleash some in an era many have only dreamed of.</p>
  64. <p data-id="5c17f838-0b6a-45a1-af2d-5a6ef766b1a6"><a href="https://techpubliserus.com/category/technews/"><img decoding="async" class=" wp-image-289 aligncenter" src="https://techpubliserus.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/11-300x297.avif" alt="Starship's Next Launch" width="436" height="432" srcset="https://techpubliserus.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/11-300x297.avif 300w, https://techpubliserus.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/11-1024x1013.avif 1024w, https://techpubliserus.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/11-150x150.avif 150w, https://techpubliserus.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/11-768x759.avif 768w, https://techpubliserus.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/11-1536x1519.avif 1536w, https://techpubliserus.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/11.avif 1787w" sizes="(max-width: 436px) 100vw, 436px" /></a></p>
  65. <p data-id="5c17f838-0b6a-45a1-af2d-5a6ef766b1a6">Lastly, the ability of Starship to be used as a passenger ship for large-scale human missions to Mars will change the way we think about space colonization.</p>
  66. <p data-id="5c17f838-0b6a-45a1-af2d-5a6ef766b1a6">The design of Starship—and whether it can safely launch and return millions of people (as well as cargo) to and from the Martian surface—is integral to Elon Musk’s vision for a permanent, self-sustaining colony on Mars. It&#8217;s a vision that may take decades to fully realize, but every successful test moves us one step closer to this genuinely aspirational goal.</p>
  67. <p data-id="66b6bddc-2fbd-4f51-9aa7-29753f6a2c48">Starship success will also have ripple effects throughout the broader commercial space sector. A starship is capable of carrying heavy payloads and can be reused, which means it would be able to significantly reduce the cost of launching satellites, cargo, and even passengers into orbit. If the company succeeds, telecommunications firms and even space tourism enterprises could experience a massive drop in launch expenses, democratizing access to orbit and facilitating brand new business applications.</p>
  68. <h3 data-id="3f83f1b1-cd4f-42a9-ac99-ca2a36986c00">Challenges and Uncertainties</h3>
  69. <p data-id="5432ca07-063d-4994-850c-7e2f806ccc9d">People that are happy about an imminent launch of Starship should be aware—space travel is volatile and potentially dangerous. We have seen before with test flights that even minor problems can be catastrophic, and the next flight will likely push Starship further than ever. To be deemed safe for human missions, however, the vehicle faces challenges such as engine performance issues, heat shielding problems, and landing system concerns.</p>
  70. <p data-id="a2198b3d-fd7e-4460-92b2-5be110327d67">Additionally, the rapid pace of the Starship program raised doubts as to whether SpaceX could achieve its lofty targets. Although the company is known for its quick development, a spacecraft with full reusability has never been attempted and accomplished in such a short span of time. Every test flight is a vital learning moment, but that need for achievement increases with every passing iteration. A failure at this point would be a crushing blow—not just to the program but to the public’s faith in SpaceX being able to execute its grand plans.</p>
  71. <h3 data-id="e1d66bca-1093-4cc6-bc95-2794902642f1">The Road Ahead</h3>
  72. <p data-id="9e5c70dd-c334-4711-b90c-1c829cced5cf">Everyone is watching as SpaceX prepares for what may be the most significant Starship test flight to date. If it goes well, this launch will push SpaceX closer to its ultimate objectives: enabling routine space travel, supporting lunar exploration missions that could eventually return humans to the surface, and perhaps facilitating manned Mars trips in the future. But the road to operational status is by no means guaranteed, and several hurdles remain.</p>
  73. <p data-id="8177ba6e-0cdd-4ae6-85f0-1b0b81268e54">With mere weeks left before the launch this far into its record-chasing mission, SpaceX&#8217;s Starship will undoubtedly be under close scrutiny from the space community to see if it can cross some of these key milestones that will continue on its ambitious path. Whether successful or not, this next flight serves as a testament to what space technology can do and how far companies like SpaceX are willing to go when it comes to pushing the limits of exploration outside of Earth.</p>

  94. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1 data-id="80382ac0-ae37-44d8-9870-553cb8f87b1e">How to Keep Your Social Security Number Secure</h1>
  95. <p data-id="556269b6-aec8-404c-b5ac-f13e21935dad">In the U.S., a social security number (SSN) is one of the few things that can actually identify who we are. Sadly, however, that critical nature also makes it a popular target for identity thieves. Keeping Your SSN Safe The most important tip we can offer is to keep your SSN safe&#8230; whatever measures are necessary to protect your financial and personal information from misuse! With the growing number of digital vulnerabilities, it becomes all the more important to know how your SSN can be compromised and protect yourself against that.</p>
  96. <h2 data-id="2716cef9-dbed-4f6d-85de-768fec8462d4">Protecting Your SSN: First Line of Defense</h2>
  97. <p data-id="8495a774-c1d9-4567-9c14-faae7fb24d3f">Your SSN is associated with many of your activities: credit history, tax records, bank accounts and even medical information. A stolen SSN can open the door to all manner of fraud, including signing up for credit accounts, submitting spurious tax returns and perpetrating crimes in your name, since it is used to verify your identity. Even more so than a password, an SSN is not something that can be easily changed. After that, if it gets misused, the damage could take years to resolve, damaging your finances and peace of mind!</p>
  98. <h2 data-id="3adfda88-9548-49c5-8599-4514a6f5fd44"><a href="https://techpubliserus.com/"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" wp-image-280 aligncenter" src="https://techpubliserus.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/social-3064515_1920-300x200.jpg" alt="How to Keep Your Social Security Number Secure" width="432" height="288" srcset="https://techpubliserus.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/social-3064515_1920-300x200.jpg 300w, https://techpubliserus.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/social-3064515_1920-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://techpubliserus.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/social-3064515_1920-768x512.jpg 768w, https://techpubliserus.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/social-3064515_1920-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://techpubliserus.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/social-3064515_1920.jpg 1920w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 432px) 100vw, 432px" /></a></h2>
  99. <h2 data-id="3adfda88-9548-49c5-8599-4514a6f5fd44">How You Could Lose Access to Your SSN</h2>
  100. <p data-id="860b34d4-cba2-4f35-a525-c8b197c3e46f">There are lots of methods that identity thieves can use to get SSNs. One of the most common tactics is physical theft — wallets and mail. Sensitive papers such as Social Security cards, tax records, and medical data regularly have your SSN in them — so be certain they are stored or destroyed securely.</p>
  101. <p data-id="ea2687e6-1c06-4120-9c13-b059de0e5b7e">Digital threats are here too, everybody. Common phishing scams through emails, texts, or phone calls may disguise an impersonator posing as a trusted organization like your bank or a government agency—or a fake call from your employer aimed at tricking you into revealing your SSN. Hacks of companies and institutions also leak millions of SSNs per year, placing countless individuals at risk for identity theft as well.</p>
  102. <p data-id="66af8454-66e8-4977-b60f-5d0fb36f3991">Understanding how your SSN can be compromised is the first step toward putting protective measures in place before that happens.</p>
  103. <h2 data-id="29a5c592-843e-4517-a390-93a899769a62">How to Protect Your Social Security Number</h2>
  104. <p data-id="eeaebd10-fb14-43eb-b725-fbc6f9eda5db">One of the best ways to protect your social security number is to limit access to it. Give your SSN only when there is no other choice, and confirm the reasons for the request. Why Many Organizations Still Ask for Your SSN Out of Habit Instead of Necessity Donations have their own identifier, so before sharing your identification number to donate, ask, Am I able to provide a driver&#8217;s license number or account number instead? Exercise exceptional caution over any forms sent online or calls received requesting your SSN, particularly if this was not requested by you.</p>
  105. <p data-id="805fc468-7447-4fa3-bbf2-1f5910b41669">Your SSN is part of physical security Only take your Social Security card if you need to use it for something like starting a new job. Keep the card in a secured area — lock it away in a drawer, safe or safety deposit box. Likewise, any documents that contain your SSN—like a tax return or a bank statement—should be kept in a safe place and shredded when you&#8217;re done with them.</p>
  106. <p data-id="c72b8f3a-7593-49ec-820f-375e95d0b891">Instead, scammers impersonate anyone from your bank to a recognized authority and prey on the unsuspecting citizen. Remain suspicious of unexpected outreach asking for your SSN, especially when it is over the phone or email and puts you in a position of pressure. No legitimate organization, including the Social Security Administration and IRS, will ever request sensitive information via unsecured means. Confirm all requests directly with the organization using a trusted phone number or website.</p>
  107. <p data-id="263d1090-f533-4876-b779-e4d2883abfb7"><a href="https://www.experian.com/blogs/ask-experian/how-to-keep-social-security-number-safe/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" wp-image-281 aligncenter" src="https://techpubliserus.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/mobile-phone-1917737_1920-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="446" height="297" srcset="https://techpubliserus.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/mobile-phone-1917737_1920-300x200.jpg 300w, https://techpubliserus.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/mobile-phone-1917737_1920-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://techpubliserus.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/mobile-phone-1917737_1920-768x512.jpg 768w, https://techpubliserus.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/mobile-phone-1917737_1920-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://techpubliserus.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/mobile-phone-1917737_1920.jpg 1920w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 446px) 100vw, 446px" /></a></p>
  108. <p data-id="c0395da0-4a91-4f66-9b0e-5e9772b7bc7f">The other major step you can take is to keep tabs on your finances and credit activity — this will help ensure the safety of your SSN. Reviewing your credit reports can help you discover any accounts or activity that is not yours. Educational information: Under federal law, you are entitled to a free credit report each year from all three major credit bureaus (Enterprises, Equifax and TransUnion). Monitoring your bank statements and credit card purchases may also provide you advance warning if someone else is using your SSN without permission.</p>
  109. <p data-id="ab157ee0-300e-4493-ad98-ced54124a604">Credit freezes are one of the strongest tools against identity theft. A credit freeze stops lenders from accessing your credit report, so it becomes exceedingly difficult for thieves to open up new accounts in your name. Frozen credit is free to set up, and you can remove it temporarily when needed (e.g., when applying for a loan or new credit). If that is too limiting, fraud alerts will tell lenders to check up on your identity before providing credit.</p>
  110. <p data-id="e7bbd18d-4b3c-4f61-a361-a77a03a32411">In an increasingly connected world, digital safety is essential to safeguarding your SSN. Now that you have a Social Security number and are considering entering it on-line, at least look for the “https” in the URL and padlock icon in your browser. Do not reveal your Social Security number when on public or unprotected Wi-Fi networks where hackers may have a better chance of getting it. You can also password Protect important accounts and set up 2FA for extra protection.</p>

  112. <p data-id="0a95649a-e705-4aba-942c-f8211c8e2e55">Social Security number security is under extreme threat due to such data breaches. But when these companies or institutions that take down your SSN are breached, hackers and identity thieves can have access to the information. You cannot control if a breach happens, but at least work to make it as difficult as possible.</p>

  114. <p data-id="c0867c4c-96ab-4564-bc72-1d674a2e8568">At this point, you must act quickly if you receive notification that your SSN has been compromised through a data breach. However, you should be ready to keep a close eye on your credit and financial accounts for anything suspicious and may want to place a fraud alert or freeze. While organizations typically provide free credit monitoring services when a breach occurs, signing up for this service is an easy way to keep extra eyes and ears primed for any illegal matters that may occur.</p>
  115. <h2 data-id="cbc5b609-961e-47ab-9648-8b0ee95cbccc">What Steps Should You Take When Your SSN Is Stolen?</h2>
  116. <p data-id="1ab30e93-fa88-4a82-bf3b-e7c7c7a4509e">If you think your SSN has been breached, you must act immediately to reduce or limit any damage. The immediate action that must be taken is to file a claim with the FTC (Federal Trade Commission) at Identity Theft. The first step to even start the process of filing claims is to visit the website at www.recovery.gov, where you can file your report and create a customized recovery plan.</p>
  117. <p data-id="c6654609-e2e3-434f-93fb-8b763e799eee">Place a fraud alert on your credit report by contacting the three major credit bureaus—Experian, Equifax and TransUnion. This alert advises creditors to take additional steps to verify your identity before opening a new account. If you are facing the possibility of continued misuse of your SSN, a credit freeze might be advisable as well.</p>
  118. <p data-id="174e8f01-4a29-4c07-b4d7-5c2286f41a65">If your social security number has been used for tax fraud like filing a return, then you have to contact the IRS right away and fill out Form 14039 (Identity Theft Affidavit). Likewise, if your SSN is being used for employment fraud or to collect government benefits, you need to notify the Social Security Administration and any agency that is impacted by this.</p>
  119. <h2 data-id="3cf05cb9-8640-4559-b596-96845ce7890e">Staying Vigilant and Educated</h2>
  120. <p data-id="582f8a36-4231-42f0-811d-ace197605d54">Then its time for you to understand that SSNs are needed to be more secure, and you need some precautions, but in particular, they will all help you, which seems like at least some people know about trending threats with their SSNs. Learn about prevalent scam methods and make sure to follow security best practices. As technology and identity theft tactics are evolving, it is important to update your strategies periodically in order to protect your SSN.</p>
  121. <p data-id="f354ae24-cf09-4f23-8902-563e62a4551b">Avoiding Identity Theft By Taking Control While not 100% foolproof, taking control of your financial identity—never rumbling off your SSN carelessly to anyone that drives a fancy car or is slick enough to ask for it—and keeping an eye on things (there have been companies who charge you for this) helps mitigate the chance of suffering from identity theft. Protecting your SSN may feel like an uphill battle, but it is essential to doing so in order to protect your identity and financial security in our rapidly expanding world.</p>
  122. <p data-id="3dae0d15-b8c0-470c-8bf6-6544142d3b73">Adopting these measures will ensure the privacy of your SSN and reduce the vulnerabilities due to SSN exposure. Protecting yourself from identity theft is more than just avoiding losing money, because once you lose your identity, it will be permanent.</p>
