Blue Origin, the space company founded by billionaire Jeff Bezos, was compelled to postpone the scheduled launch of its New Glenn rocket on Sunday due to unfavorable weather conditions. The decision to scrub the launch, which would have been the rocket's second mission, followed delays caused by rain and a ground system issue, ultimately compounded by cumulus cloud cover as the 88-minute launch window expired.

US President Donald Trump on Monday asked the Supreme Court to review the $5 million civil case that found him liable for sexually abusing and defaming magazine columnist E. Jean Carroll. A federal appeals court had affirmed the jury’s verdict and judgment against Trump last year, ruling that the trial judge made no errors warranting a new trial. This latest move follows Trump's unsuccessful effort in June to have the appeal reviewed by the full bench of judges.

Despite concerns about public interest, a US court has granted the government's request to dismiss a criminal charge against Boeing related to two deadly 737 Max crashes. Judge Reed O'Connor explicitly stated his "disagreement" with the decision, though he found no sufficient legal grounds to deny it. This move effectively clears Boeing of a criminal charge it had previously agreed to plead guilty to, stemming from accusations of violating a crash-related settlement.
