SpaceX isn't the only one.NASA launching safety review of SpaceX because Elon Musk smoked pot

When NASA tapped SpaceX and Boeing to fly astronauts to the International Space Station, the companies likely expected the government agency would keep an eye on things. But they probably didn't expect a probe prompted by a podcast. According to the Washington Post, NASA is conducting a safety review of both companies because some officials were annoyed when they found out SpaceX CEO Elon Musk smoked weed with Joe Rogan on the latter's popular podcast.

A space agency spokesperson told the Washington Post the probe would "ensure the companies are meeting NASA's requirements for workplace safety, including the adherence to a drug-free environment." NASA administrator Jim Bridenstine was also cited as saying "culture and leadership start at the top."

You'll even get release dates soon.Work resumes on Telltale's final 'The Walking Dead' season

A few weeks after it's own resurrection from the dead, work has restarted on The Walking Dead, the franchise. Robert Kirkman's Skybound has tapped "many" of the people who worked on the game the first time around. Expect the company to announce release dates for the last two episodes "soon."

Policy chief Elliot Schrage took responsibility for hiring Definers PR firm.Zuckerberg says stepping down at Facebook is 'not the plan'

Mark Zuckerberg appeared on CNN Business, following The New York Times' bombshell report into how Facebook had dealt with the messy last two years. The CEO didn't directly address all the issues from the expose, saying "It is not clear to me at all that the report is right." Zuckerberg says he won't be leaving, and nor will Sheryl Sandberg. An internal memo showed that outgoing policy head Elliot Schrager is taking responsibility for the company hiring Definers, a PR firm that spread negative publicity about competitors and pushed angles linking George Soros to critics.
