Hello and welcome back to TechCrunch Space. This will be the final TechCrunch Space newsletter you receive in 2024, so to all our readers, have a wonderful holiday and see you next year. There’s a lot to look forward to next year. I expect to see much more progress from SpaceX on Starship, big changes to NASA under the leadership of incoming administrator Jared Isaacman, Rocket Lab’s Neutron debut, and big missions for Impulse Space, Varda, and dozens of other startups. It will also be interesting to see if rumors prove true with Boeing selling off its space business. That would truly mark a new world order. In terms of venture financing, I expect to see more recovery from the lows in the 2023 time span, and if Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency does even a fraction of what it proposes, that could significantly loosen the regulatory and bureaucratic environment in which infrastructure-heavy industries (like space) operate. The downstream effects could be seen very quickly. Want to reach out with a tip? Email Aria at aria.techcrunch@gmail.com or send a message on Signal at 512-937-3988.

Story of the week Speaking of regulations, it was nice to get an update from Blue Origin last week on the inaugural New Glenn launch, with the company essentially saying that the only puzzle pieces to fit into place are regulatory approvals for the rocket’s hot fire test and launch. With scarcely two weeks left of the year, it is absolutely feasible that New Glenn still launches in 2024, but a lot will depend on how the hot fire test goes. The turnaround time will be tight... Funding of the week Late-stage deals in space have been on the decline this year, so it was exciting to see the announcement from Fleet Space Technologies that it had closed a $100 million Series D. The Adelaide, Australia-based startup has developed a technology stack to enable mineral prospecting from space — and identifying critical mineral deposits will be key in a future that heavily relies on them (i.e. identifying lithium for batteries). This week in space history Okay, we did Thanksgiving in space a few editions ago, so it only feels right to take a look at how astronauts celebrate Christmas in space. The astronaut fleet has spent 18 consecutive years celebrating the holiday on the station, replete with mini Christmas trees, Santa hats, stockings, and other decorations.

By LOLITA BALDOR and FATIMA HUSSEIN WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump said Wednesday that he has chosen Keith Kellogg, a highly decorated retired three-star general, to serve as his special envoy for Ukraine and Russia. Kellogg, who is one of the architects of a staunchly conservative policy book that lays out an “America First” national security agenda for the incoming administration, will come into the role as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine enters its third year in February. Trump made the announcement on his Truth Social account, and said “He was with me right from the beginning! Together, we will secure PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH, and Make America, and the World, SAFE AGAIN!” Kellogg, an 80 year-old retired Army lieutenant general who has long been Trump’s top adviser on defense issues, served as national security adviser to Vice President Mike Pence , was chief of staff of the National Security Council and then stepped in as an acting security adviser for Trump after Michael Flynn resigned. As special envoy for Ukraine and Russia, Kellogg will have to navigate an increasingly untenable war between the two nations. The Biden administration has begun urging Ukraine to quickly increase the size of its military by drafting more troops and revamping its mobilization laws to allow for the conscription of troops as young as 18. The White House has pushed more than $56 billion in security assistance to Ukraine since the start of Russia’s February 2022 invasion and expects to send billions more to Kyiv before Biden leaves office in less than months. Trump has criticized the billions that the Biden administration has poured into Ukraine. Washington has recently stepped up weapons shipments and has forgiven billions in loans provided to Kyiv. The incoming Republican president has said he could end the war in 24 hours, comments that appear to suggest he would press Ukraine to surrender territory that Russia now occupies. As a co-chairman of the American First Policy Institute’s Center for American Security, Kellogg wrote several of the chapters in the group’s policy book. The book, like the Heritage Foundation’s “Project 2025,” is a move to lay out a Trump national security agenda and avoid the mistakes of 2016 when he entered the White House largely unprepared. Kellogg in April wrote that “bringing the Russia-Ukraine war to a close will require strong, America First leadership to deliver a peace deal and immediately end the hostilities between the two warring parties.” Related Articles Trump’s proposed national security advisor U.S. Rep. Michael Waltz (R-Fla.) tweeted Wednesday that “Keith has dedicated his life to defending our great country and is committed to bringing the war in Ukraine to a peaceful resolution.” Kellogg was a character in multiple Trump investigations dating to his first term. He was among the administration officials who listened in on the July 2019 call between Trump and Volodymyr Zelenskyy in which Trump prodded his Ukrainian counterpart to pursue investigations into the Bidens. The call, which Kellogg would later say did not raise any concerns on his end, was at the center of the first of two House impeachment cases against Trump, who was acquitted by the Senate both times. On Jan. 6, 2021, hours before pro-Trump rioters stormed the U.S. Capitol, Kellogg, who was then Pence’s national security adviser, listened in on a heated call in which Trump told his vice president to object or delay the certification in Congress of President Joe Biden ’s victory. He later told House investigators that he recalled Trump saying to Pence words to the effect of: “You’re not tough enough to make the call.” Baldor reported from Washington. AP writer Eric Tucker in Washington contributed to this report.
NoneFormer two-time UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya has declared that he has not lost his competitive edge, despite facing challenging setbacks in recent bouts. As he prepares to take on rising contender Nassourdine Imavov at UFC Fight Night 250 in Riyadh on February 1, Adesanya is determined to showcase his skills in what marks his first non-title fight in over six years. The Nigerian-born fighter, who previously held the title for three lengthy reigns and defended it successfully five times, has experienced a tough phase in his career, suffering back-to-back losses in championship matchups against Sean Strickland and Dricus Du Plessis in 2024. However, Adesanya remains undeterred and expressed a renewed sense of confidence. “Because I can – and I’m really, really, really good at it,” he stated firmly when asked about his motivation heading into this fight. Adesanya candidly reflected on his recent performances, acknowledging, “I almost forgot how great I was, but then recently I just realised like, ‘F*ck, I’m good at this sh*t.’ I forget because – reasons, but yeah, it’s good to remind yourself. I keep saying, ‘You’ll must have forgotten.’” While acknowledging the strengths of his upcoming opponent, Imavov, Adesanya emphasized that his focus remains primarily on his growth and development as a fighter. “I know he’s dangerous. I know he’s slick. I like his style. Not bad footwork. He’s dangerous – very well-rounded. It’s not about him, it’s about me. It’s about improving, just writing this chapter.” Imavov enters this matchup on an impressive three-fight winning streak, having triumphed over notable opponents such as Roman Dolidze, Jared Cannonier, and Brendan Allen. Despite Imavov’s rising stock in the division, odds-makers favour Adesanya slightly to prevail in this contest. Additionally, Adesanya has shared his aspirations of securing a submission victory before the conclusion of his career, a goal that reflects both his evolving strategy in the octagon and his desire to demonstrate versatility as a mixed martial artist. The highly anticipated fight is set to take place at the ANB Arena in Riyadh, where Adesanya will aim to improve his professional mixed martial arts record to 25-4, which currently stands at 24-4 overall, including 13-4 in the UFC.
Passenger calls out fellow flyers for unsanitary habit, shares fix for gross issueBramall Lane will play host to a key contest at the top end of the Championship table on Friday, as Sheffield United welcome Sunderland . The hosts sit second in the division after a return to winning ways on Tuesday, while their visitors are two points behind having drawn each of their last five outings. © Imago Sheffield United head back to Bramall Lane on Friday aiming to build a lead at the top of the Championship table at the beginning of the latest round of fixtures, having put a strong unbeaten run together either side of the November international break. After suffering their only two league defeats of the season thus far consecutively in mid-October, the Blades have won five and drawn one of their last six outings, heading into the latest break on the back of four straight victories culminating in a 1-0 Steel City Derby triumph over rivals Sheffield Wednesday. Chris Wilder 's men faced a trip to Coventry City on their return to action last Saturday and left with a point from a 2-2 draw thanks to first-half goals from Tyrese Campbell and Jesurun Rak-Sakyi , before quickly bouncing back to winning ways at home to Oxford United on Tuesday as Callum O'Hare , Campbell and Rak-Sakyi got on the scoresheet in a 3-0 triumph. That extended an eye-catching run for the Blades on home turf, having won each of their last seven games at Bramall Lane without conceding, while only Burnley have conceded fewer than the nine goals that Wilder's men have allowed in their 17 games in total, netting 24 goals at the other end along the way. Now sitting second in their bid for promotion back to the Premier League on 35 points and only trailing leaders Leeds United on goal difference, despite beginning with a two-point deduction, Sheffield United will look to build a lead over the chasing pack with an eighth straight home win on Friday. © Imago They face a tough test, though, as the visitors travel to South Yorkshire aiming to leapfrog the Blades and extend their own 10-game unbeaten streak in England's second tier. Sunderland have enjoyed an impressive start to the 2024-25 Championship campaign following the summer appointment of Regis Le Bris , amassing 33 points from their first 17 outings having picked up nine victories and only suffering two defeats. The most recent of those losses came in late September, although the Black Cats' 10-match unbeaten run since does include their first six draws of the campaign, including five consecutively heading into Saturday's trip, initially heading into the recent break on the back of stalemates with Queens Park Rangers, Preston North End and Coventry City. A trip to Millwall followed on their return, and Le Bris's side had to settle for a point from a 1-1 draw following Femi Azeez 's injury-time leveller for their hosts after Aaron Connolly had them 1-0 up, before they most recently hosted fellow promotion-chasers West Bromwich Albion on Tuesday and again shared the spoils as neither side managed to break the deadlock. Now boasting the league's longest undefeated run but having fallen off top spot as a result of their failure to get over the line in recent games, Sunderland will be keen to bounce back to winning ways and return to the summit of the Championship on Friday. © Imago Chris Wilder should field a similar Sheffield United starting XI from Tuesday's 3-0 victory, with defender Anel Ahmedhodzic remaining suspended and midfielder Oliver Arblaster and attackers Kieffer Moore and Rhian Brewster sidelined by injury issues. In Arblaster's absence, Sydie Peck should again partner Vinicius Souza in the engine room, while captain Jack Robinson will continue to join Harry Souttar at the heart of a back four in Ahmedhodzic's place. Tyrese Campbell will lead the line with confidence having netted five goals in his last six games, likely with support from Gustavo Hamer , Callum O'Hare and Jesurun Rak-Sakyi, who has also scored in back-to-back games. Sunderland continue to deal with a long injury list of their own heading into Friday's trip, with Romaine Mundle , Alan Browne , Ian Poveda , Niall Huggins , Dennis Cirkin and Jenson Seelt all set to miss out again. Luke O'Nien , Chris Mepham , Dan Ballard and Trai Hume will line up in an unaltered back four after their midweek clean sheet, while Dan Neil and Jobe Bellingham will continue to partner up in the midfield. Wilson Isidor , who leads the squad with five goals so far this season, will spearhead the attack with support from Patrick Roberts and either Eliezer Mayenda or Tom Watson either side of 17-year-old Chris Rigg . Sheffield United possible starting lineup: Cooper; Seriki, Souttar, Robinson, Burrows; Peck, Souza; Rak-Sakyi, O'Hare, Hamer; Campbell Sunderland possible starting lineup: Patterson; O'Nien, Mepham, Ballard, Hume; Bellingham, Neil; Roberts, Rigg, Mayenda; Isidor Given the hosts' tight defensive record, particularly at Bramall Lane, and the visitors recent run of results, we can only envisage a low-scoring and hard-fought contest on Friday. The Blades do arguably boast more attacking threat in their available ranks and will back themselves to find a decisive goal to go back to the top of the table.

ACEN Corp., the Ayala Group’s listed energy platform, is further expanding its footprint in Vietnam’s renewable energy space by acquiring for $70.5 million, a 49-percent stake in a unit of BIM Group. For this purpose, ACEN Vietnam Investments Pte. Ltd. signed a share purchase agreement with Huntington Renewable Investments Ltd. (HRIL) to secure a stake in BIM Energy Holding Corp. (Bimeh). READ: ACEN profit up 49% ACEN said it paid an equivalent of about P4.2 billion for the transaction with Bimeh, the energy arm of the BIM Group which has solar and wind power projects in its portfolio. “The acquisition will allow ACEN to increase its pipeline projects in Vietnam,” the listed company said in a stock exchange filing on Wednesday. ACEN and the BIM Group have a joint venture partnership in solar and wind projects in Vietnam, namely the 405-megawatt Ninh Thuan Solar project and the 88-MW Ninh Thuan Wind project. According to ACEN, the Ninh Thuan Solar project, sitting on more than 300 hectares of land, is considered one of the largest of its kind in Southeast Asia. The Ninh Thuan Solar project supplies around 600 million kilowatt-hours of renewable power yearly to Vietnam’s national grid. Its commercial operations began in 2019. On the other hand, the Ninh Thuan Wind project in South Central Vietnam is the second joint undertaking of ACEN and the BIM Group which started operating in 2021. This wind park is the second wind project in Vietnam that uses GE Renewable Energy’s Cypress turbines. “We continue to build [a] pipeline [of projects] and look for RE opportunities in Vietnam apart from operating our existing assets,” ACEN said in a message to reporters. ACEN reported a consolidated net income of P8.14 billion in the January to September period, a 24-percent jump from last year’s P6.6 billion, owing to the further expansion of its RE portfolio. The company’s current renewable capacity has expanded to almost 7,000 MW as of this writing and it said it would continuously focus on projects that are being built and are under development.

ACEN aims to become a 100-percent RE company by 2025 and a net zero greenhouse gas emissions entity by 2050. It also seeks to hit 20,000 MW of renewable capacity by 2030.None
Rumors are swirling that Apple is developing a massive foldable iPad, potentially shaking up its product lineup and the tech world as a whole. While Apple has remained tight-lipped, reports from industry insiders and analysts paint a picture of a device that could redefine how we think about tablets. Could this be the innovation that reignites the iPad’s growth? Let’s dive into the details. This isn’t the first time we’ve heard whispers of a foldable iPad . Rumors have been circulating for years, but recent reports suggest that Apple is finally making serious progress on the project. Sources indicate that the company is exploring a device with a display size significantly larger than any current iPad model, aiming to blur the lines between tablet and laptop. This “giant” foldable iPad is expected to offer enhanced multitasking capabilities and immersive experiences, potentially appealing to creative professionals, students, and avid media consumers. However, with foldable technology still in its relative infancy, questions remain about durability, price, and practicality. What We Know (and What We Don’t) While concrete details are scarce, here’s what we’ve gleaned from various reports and analyst predictions: Addressing the Challenges Developing a giant foldable iPad presents several challenges for Apple: My Take Personally, I’m excited about the prospect of a giant foldable iPad . As a writer and someone who consumes a lot of digital content, a larger, more versatile display is incredibly appealing. I can envision myself using it for writing, research, reading, and even light video editing. However, I’m also cautious. Foldable technology is still relatively new, and I’d want to see Apple address the durability concerns and optimize iPadOS to truly take advantage of this new form factor. What Others Are Saying The tech community is buzzing with speculation and anticipation. On Reddit and Quora, users are debating the potential use cases, design, and price of the rumored device. Some are concerned about the practicality of such a large foldable device, while others are eager to see how Apple will push the boundaries of tablet technology. Looking Ahead Apple’s foray into the foldable market with a giant iPad could be a game-changer. It has the potential to redefine how we interact with tablets and laptops, offering new levels of versatility and productivity. However, success hinges on overcoming the challenges of foldable technology and delivering a device that is both durable and practical. One thing is certain: the tech world will be watching closely as Apple potentially unfolds its next big innovation.
