Gawrsh, Epic might be making a Disney-themed extraction shooter.

That’s according to a new report from Bloomberg, which delves into just how important the Disney deal is for Epic, especially given the current state of Fortnite. The extraction shooter is described as the first release to come out of the partnership, and it’s expected to launch in November.

Artemis II’s heat shield is about to be put to the test.

When the four astronauts aboard Orion return to Earth tonight, they’ll rely on a heat shield that NASA has admitted is flawed. Former astronaut Dr. Charlie Camarda told the New York Times that NASA never should’ve launched Artemis II, guessing there’s a 95 percent chance it will return safely.

CNN explains Artemis II’s “lofted” entry has been adjusted to try to limit the unexpected charring on the Artemis I heat shield, and National Geographic also went in-depth. YouTube, Netflix, and others will broadcast the landing starting at 6:30PM ET.

Samsung’s Z Flip 8 slims down in new leak renders.

The fairly reliable leaker OnLeaks has shared his first CAD renders for the Galaxy Z Flip 8, via MyMobiles, and it looks… pretty much identical to the Z Flip 7, actually. It’s apparently slimmer though, with 0.5mm shaved off when closed, which should make it fractionally more pocketable.

<em>The Flip 8 has the same boxy design and full cover screen as its predecessor according to this leak.</em>
<em>While it’s apparently going to be thinner when folded, it will be about the same thickness when open.</em>
<em>Samsung’s foldables normally launch in July, so expect to find out more then.</em>
