From a courtroom in Arizona to the edge of orbit, the systems we rely on are being stress-tested. Uber faces a bellwether sexual-assault trial that could reshape platform liability and cost billions. Walmart bets that drone delivery - powered by Alphabet’s Wing - can redefine last-mile convenience at national scale. NASA orders an early ISS evacuation after a medical scare, highlighting how risk is managed when failure isn’t an option. And the Federal Communications Commission clears SpaceX to double its next-gen Starlink fleet, accelerating the race for space-based mobile internet.
Accountability, logistics, safety, and scale - this week, the platforms are under pressure.
