Well take a look next. 3 good morning, le mars . Its 46 degrees outside at time . As we take a look from our icon ag turf camera. 3 amazon might be running into some password issues. Heres your c net tech update. 3 history has been made we are living in the age of the resuable space rocket. Im bridget carey, this is your cnet update. For the first time, a rocket designed for human passengers has launched into space and landed back on earth gently in one piece. video from blue origin 0 211 38 the historic landing was completed by private spaceflight company blue origin, funded and lead by amazon founder jeff bezos. This is a game changer in making spaceflight more affordable, because rockets only get used once and are discarded. The rocket, named new shepard launched from west texas on monday at 11 21 a. M. Central time. It traveled at 3. 72 times the speed of sound, with the crew capsule separating at the edge of space. Blue origin created this animation to show the eventual goal of having tourists float weightless for a few minutes to see the planet below. But of course there were no humans aboard this test flight. The capsule then dropped down back to earth, with parachutes breaking the fall. That whole trip for the capsule was just 11 minutes from take off to landing. As for the rocket, as it decended, it reignited at about 5thousand feet to slow down, and began to stablize about 50 feet from the ground, landing at just under 5 miles an hour. This isnt the first attempt blue origin did have a test flight in april that failed to land. Bezos said in an interview with cbs that the tests will continue for the next couple of years. And he doesnt know how much theyll charge for a ride on this rocket, but maybe theyll have a price a year from now. video from spacex 1 381 58 elon musk and his Company Space x also are working to build a reusable rocket, but so far it hasnt been able to land successfully on a platform at sea. Although its important to note that space x is trying something much more difficult with its falcon 9 booster. It flies cargo shipments into space and back, which requires much much more energy and thrust. Blue origins suborbital flight is not as complicated. Now while bezos celebrates the rocket landing, questions are swirling over amazons password security. Amazon has forcereset the passwords to an unknown number of accounts, indicating that passwords may have been compromised. This was discovered by our sister site, zdnet. Some readers reported getting emails from amazon about their account passwords being reset. And this is not a fake phishing message the notice was also found when they went on amazon dot com. Amazon is warning that passowrd could have been exposed to an outside group, but it has no reason to believe that anyone actually has stolen the passwords. So amazon is doing this out of caution. Amazon has not answered any questions or made a Public Comment about it as of this report. Cut you can protect yourself by enabling twostep authentication on your amazon account, its essentially putting a second password on your account. When logging on from a new computer, you have to also enter in a number code texted to your cellphone to prove its really you. Thats it for this tech news update, and theres more at cnet. Com.
