 Kenyan building collapse near Nairobi kills six people The collapse of an unfinished eight-storey building in Kenya has killed six people. The structure fell on Friday morning in Syokimau on the outskirts of Nairobi. Construction workers were reportedly at the site when the building’s uppermost concrete slab gave way, bringing down part of the structure, according to a preliminary report from Nairobi City County’s emergency team. The report did not establish why the slab failed. The Kenya Red Cross initially reported that three people had been rescued and one person was reported missing. TV reports later said that five people had been pulled alive from the rubble and taken to hospital. The emergency report said the number of workers present when the building fell had not been confirmed, leaving open the possibility that others were trapped. Firefighters and specialist rescue teams were continuing to search for survivors.

 Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin launches satellite internet service to compete with SpaceX and Amazon 

Jeff Bezos’ space company Blue Origin announced plans to deploy 5,408 satellites to create a high-speed communications network designed to compete with SpaceX and Amazon.

The new network, called TeraWave, will target enterprise, government, and data center customers, offering data speeds of up to 6 terabits per second. Satellites will operate in low Earth orbit and medium Earth orbit, ranging from about 100 miles to 21,000 miles above the planet. Blue Origin expects to begin launching the constellation in the fourth quarter of 2027.

The move puts Bezos in a competitive satellite internet market currently led by SpaceX’s Starlink, which operates over 9,000 satellites and serves roughly 9 million users. Amazon is also building its own constellation, recently rebranded from Project Kuiper to Leo, with 180 satellites launched since April and plans to deploy 3,236 low Earth satellites for enterprise, government, and consumer use. Several future Blue Origin satellite launches are expected to be handled by its own rockets.

Founded by Bezos in 2000, Blue Origin has primarily focused on rocket launches for tourists and research missions. Last January, the company successfully launched its New Glenn rocket for the first time, achieving a milestone in its efforts to expand into larger-scale space operations, though the booster initially failed to land for reuse. In November, Blue Origin successfully landed a New Glenn booster after launching a pair of NASA spacecraft. CEO Dave Limp leads the company, and Bezos has previously predicted Blue Origin could eventually surpass Amazon in scale.
