SpaceX’s next and soon-to-be most powerful rocket officially has a new name.
The private spaceflight company’s founder, Elon Musk, announced on Twitter late Monday night that SpaceX’s BFR — short for Big Falcon Rocket or Big F*cking Rocket, depending on who you ask — is now going to be known as SpaceX’s Starship.
It’s an aspirational name for a rocket that hasn’t yet flown, but Musk has high hopes for the future booster and ship.
Technically, two parts: Starship is the spaceship/upper stage & Super Heavy is the rocket booster needed to escape Earth’s deep gravity well (not needed for other planets or moons)

It’s been 54 years since Mary Poppins came into the world in movie form. And now, five decades on, we’re getting a second helping in the form of Mary Poppins Returns — a sequel to the beloved classic.
Of course, we have many burning questions about this hotly anticipated film. But fear not: Mashable spoke to the film’s producer Marc Platt during a set visit to Shepperton Studios, near London. Here’s everything you need to know about the new Mary Poppins movie.
Is Mary Poppins Returns based on a book?
Marc Platt: We went right to the source. We went to P.L. Travers. And, it turns out that P.L. Travers wrote eight books, and the original film really capitalises on only one of the books. And what we found in her books was really a treasure trove of new characters and episodes. We realised that we could bring the sequel our own version and our own story. An original story of Mary Poppins all these years later in a very exciting way, but that we could draw upon the original source, P.L. Travers. Read more…

Welcome to No Shame November! This week we’re diving into the pop culture we love that society tells us we shouldn’t.
You might be familiar with the adult awakening that most classic love stories we grew up with don’t always hold up16 Candles? Creepy! You’ve Got Mail? Catfishing! Yet the fact remains that there are certain texts we can’t shake, stories that helped shape us and our views on love.
I grew up watching Indian Bollywood movies, so my discomfiting realization has been twofold. Bollywood is known for epic, sweeping romance – full musical numbers in gorgeous locales, grand gestures, soulmates. They taught me that romantic love was the most powerful force in the universe, something that could make people sing and dance with emotion and always finds a way. Read more…
