Starship:

After a Starship launch was rescheduled, the Starship rocket accomplished a liftoff, establishing itself as the largest and most powerful rocket ever to do so. During rocket separation, an error occurred, causing a rocket explosion.
Although the launch experienced a setback during stage separation, the event generated valuable data and insights.
This critical information will be instrumental in refining future launches, furthering our pursuit of space exploration, and ultimately, setting our sights on lunar and Martian expeditions in the coming months.

Gold Theft:

Authorities report that a theft occurred at Toronto's Pearson Airport on Monday, involving $20 million in gold and other valuable items. The stolen goods were part of a high-value container, according to Peel Regional Police, during a
Thursday press conference. Inspector Stephen Duivesteyn explained that the gold arrived on a plane Monday evening and was moved to a cargo holding facility. The container was then unlawfully taken from the facility, and although it contained gold, it also held other valuable items.

Gross Domestic Product (GDP) measures the total value of goods and services produced within a country over a specific period of time, typically a year. It serves as an indicator of a country's economic health and standard of living.
Comparing GDPs helps determine the relative economic strength and performance of different countries. However, it's important to note that GDP does not account for factors like income inequality, quality of life, or environmental impact.
