SpaceX reported a bigger quarterly profit than expected Tuesday as its satellite communications and artificial intelligence businesses boomed. The company, run by Elon Musk, posted a profit for the three months through September of $4.4 billion, or 35 cents per share, reversing a year-ago loss and easily topping Wall Street's expectations. Revenue soared to $14.6 billion, up 161%. On a conference call with analysts, Musk suggested a merger with his electric car company Tesla might be in the works, something that has been rumored for months. He said both companies formed “special committees” of independent directors to discuss the issue, though he played down the chances of an imminent deal. “Some people out there assume that a SpaceX and Tesla merger is a certainty,” he said. “I think that would be overstating it.”The AI business became SpaceX's largest by revenue in the third quarter, although the Starlink satellite service remains the biggest profit generator. “They beat across all metrics and the Starlink business looks to be accelerating,” said Dan Ives, an analyst at Yorkville Ives. “This is just what (Wall) Street wanted.”The stock rose 7.5% in after-hours trading.

Call of the Wilde: San Jose Sharks comeback to beat the Montreal Canadiens in overtime

With only one regulation win in their first eight games, it’s been a difficult journey for the Montreal Canadiens so far this season. The record is good, thanks to overtime wins, but the overall tenor of the season so far hasn’t been what was hoped for. The San Jose Sharks visit was a chance to improve on that, especially for Jakub Dobes who has surprisingly struggled in the net.  However, it was the same script that has played out all season long: Montreal gets out to the big lead, but can’t hold on to win it easily. It was yet another overtime game with the San Jose Sharks winning 4-3. Wilde Horses The head coaches decided to match strength against strength. Hockey lovers were the winners. It was Macklin Celebrini’s line against Nick Suzuki’s line; the defending Selke winner against a future winner for sure. Story continues below advertisement

New findings emerge in Philadelphia home investigation linked to missing and unidentified women; bones found were from animal

PHILADELPHIA -- Investigators searching a property in Philadelphia's Olney neighborhood have determined that bones found last week were animal bones, according to sources. Sources also said that adipocere, a wax-like substance that can form during decomposition, was discovered during the ongoing excavation of the property. "Adipocere is a tissue which can be used to identify a person," said Fabio Oldoni, an associate professor, program director and forensic geneticist at Arcadia University. Oldoni noted that if DNA is significantly degraded, recovering usable genetic evidence can become difficult. Experts noted that adipocere is not unique to human decomposition and can also be found in animals, meaning additional testing will be necessary.

The search has focused on the home of the late Raymond "R. C. " Horsch and his son, Eugene. Last week, Philadelphia police and the FBI used luminol at the property, a chemical that can reveal traces of blood not visible to the naked eye.

To boldly go: TV critic Chris Vognar celebrates 60 years of ‘Star Trek’ and picks his five favorite episodes

“Star Trek” revised the way pop culture looked at the space age for a ’60s generation that revised the way we looked at everything. The Enterprise crew included a Black woman (Nichelle Nichols’s statuesque Uhura) and an Asian man (George Takei’s Sulu). Story lines touched on matters of social tolerance, US history, Vulcan mating rituals, and other issues where few sci-fi series had gone before. The original series created a lived-in universe populated by vivid characters — the macho-but-caring Kirk (William Shatner, happily chewing every piece of scenery in sight); the hyper-logical Spock (Leonard Nimoy); the irascible McCoy (DeForest Kelley) — who invited rabid fandom. “Star Trek“ conventions crawled so Comic-Con could walk. (They also inspired one of the all-time great “SNL” sketches.)I was born a year after “Star Trek” beamed off the air, but the show was as much a staple as bread and milk in my childhood household. I hungrily devoured reruns after school and returned to my favorite episodes over and over again. What follows is not a tally of what I consider to be the five best episodes (although some would qualify).
