  1. May 27, 2026, FAA Orders SpaceX to “conduct a mishap investigation” to Investigate and report on the Starship V3 booster failure that occurred during the May 22, 2026 Starship test flight #12.

    After separating from the upper stage of the rocket, the Super Heavy Booster failed to reignite and execute the boostback burn resulting in the booster tumbling back to earth and most likely exploding on impact.

    SpaceX will have to pause any further Starship test launches until the investigation is completed. techcrunch.com/2026/05/27/faa-

  2. PeerTube plugin ways to pay v4v in the client.

    - Streaming payments. Can be enabled on V4V settings page. If the video being watched has a split configured, then every minute of content sends the configured payment amount to the channel split.
    - Boostagram. Sends a payment with a message to the split block.
    - Patronage. Sends a regular payment to a channel's split block. Become a patron of the arts, no quid pro quo provided or implied.
    - Cross App Comment Zap. PeerTube supports cross app comments natively. If the commenter has a boostback address configured, or is on Activity-pub with a lud16 address configured, zap sats directly to the commenter. Keysend if available, can fallback to lnurl, not compatible with nostr zaps.

    Streaming and Boosts support Magic Wallet Switching Technology by using https://www.thesplitkit.com event integration for both Live and Pre-recorded video.
