India's space agency ISRO has announced a sweeping shift in how the country approaches rocketry — the agency says it will no longer manufacture launch vehicles itself, instead handing all its technology over to the private sector. It's a significant philosophical pivot, one that mirrors what SpaceX did for American spaceflight, and signals that India is betting its next chapter on commercial competition rather than government production.
Closer to the ground, a student rocketry team from the University of Waterloo has broken a world record, a reminder that some of the most consequential aerospace work is happening in university labs and machine shops. Details on the specific record are still emerging, but the achievement puts Waterloo alongside a growing list of academic programs pushing the boundaries of what students can build and launch.
And over at LinkedIn, engineers have published their approach to AI-assisted code review at scale. Rather than dropping a single AI model in front of a pull request queue, they built a multi-agent platform designed to understand LinkedIn's specific coding context, reduce hallucinations, and treat the review process as production infrastructure rather than an afterthought. It's a grounded look at what enterprise AI deployment actually requires.
