Science and technology news today is framed by the death of a man who transformed how the world receives information. Ted Turner, the founder of CNN, has died at 87, closing the chapter on a career that helped create the modern 24-hour news era and reshaped global broadcasting through satellite television. At the same time, the future of industry is coming into focus in Texas, where SpaceX has filed plans for a vast semiconductor project known as “Terafab,” with an initial investment pegged at $55 billion and ambitions reaching far beyond that, into AI, robotics and data infrastructure. Together, the stories mark a striking arc in technological history: from Turner’s revolution in communication to Musk-era efforts to control the hardware powering the next wave of computation. Both developments underscore how a few bold bets can alter the architecture of modern life.
