Cyberpunk 2077 released
CD Project Red, after 9 years of development, finally released the Cyberpunk 2077. First reviews are very positive. CDP Red once again delivered very solid game, although it is far from being perfect. The game is hunted by many little bugs. Bugs are not unexpected as the game is huge, but they make the experience less pleasant. Overall it looks like Cyberpunk is solid game and it somehow met the expectations.
Starship launch
Space X has performed a test flight of the Starship. The launch was verifying following scenario:
- ✅ Launch Starship,
- ✅ Achieve altitude of 12.5 KM,
- ✅ Shutdown engines and rotate rocket on it's belly,
- ✅ Fall free,
- ✅ Turn on engines and rotate the rocket to the vertical position,
- ❌ Land on the ground.
The test ran perfectly until the landing. The pressure in fuel cells was too low, which resulted in higher touch down speed than anticipated, which ultimately caused an explosion.
Despite the fact, that Starship is gone, the test was successful.
