SpaceX’s giant new rocket launches on second test flight from Texas

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:41:27 GMT

SpaceX’s giant new rocket blasted off from South Texas on a test flight Saturday, seven months after the first try ended in an explosion.The 397-foot (121-meter) Starship rocket thundered into the sky and arced out over the Gulf of Mexico. The goal was to separate the spaceship from its booster and send it into space.SpaceX aimed for an altitude of 150 miles (240 kilometers), just high enough to send the bullet-shaped spacecraft around the globe before ditching into the Pacific near Hawaii about 1 1/2 hours after liftoff, short of a full orbit.Starship is the biggest and most powerful rocket ever built. Its first flight in April lasted four minutes, with the wreckage crashing into the gulf. Since then, Elon Musk’s company has made dozens of improvements to the booster and its 33 engines as well as the launch pad.___The Associated Press Health and Science Department receives support from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s Science and Educational Media Group.

Ravens WR Odell Beckham Jr., with legs back underneath him, is starting to look like his old self

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:41:27 GMT

Ravens wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. has always operated with the premise that his season in Baltimore is about where it ends, not necessarily where it is in the moment. In his often contemplative way, it’s about the journey and the destination.Over the past few weeks, the two have finally started to come together.That merging has been significant. In his past three games, Beckham has found a rhythm with quarterback Lamar Jackson as well as a level of speed that he had yet to display since joining the Ravens, with 10 catches for 212 yards and two touchdowns in that span. That included 116 yards in Baltimore’s 34-20 win over the Cincinnati Bengals on Thursday night, the most he’s had in a game since Week 2 in 2019 when he was with the Cleveland Browns.It was against the Browns on Sunday that Beckham also showed off his wheels, taking a short slant and turning it into a 40-yard touchdown. On the play, he hit 19.2 mph, according to Next Gen Stats, his fastest speed ...

Column: Montez Sweat’s big contract with the Chicago Bears gives him security — and with it comes big-time pressure

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:41:27 GMT

At least Montez Sweat has his bearings now.He doesn’t know the names of plenty of folks at Halas Hall yet, maybe even a few Chicago Bears teammates. But he can navigate the building, which wasn’t the case when he was introduced Nov. 1 before even learning where the locker room was.Sweat has had eight practices and played in two games with the Bears before their NFC North matchup Sunday against the Detroit Lions at Ford Field. He sneaked in a trip home to Atlanta last weekend with the extended time off following the Thursday night game and saw his 1 1/2-year-old son, Shiloh.But it has been a whirlwind of a life-changing experience — he signed a four-year, $98 million extension four days after the Halloween trade, with the Bears sending the Washington Commanders a second-round pick.As Sweat continues to settle in to his new environment, does he have a greater sense of relief, or is he feeling pressure now that he’s one of the highest-paid edge rushers in the NF...

Ukraine’s troops work to advance on Russian-held side of key river after gaining footholds

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:41:27 GMT

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Ukrainian troops worked to push back Russian forces positioned on the east bank of the Dnieper River, the military said Saturday, a day after Ukraine claimed to have secured multiple bridgeheads on that side of the river that divides the country’s partially occupied Kherson region.Ukraine’s establishment of footholds on on the Russian-held bank of the Dnieper represents a small but potentially significant strategic advance in the midst of a war largely at a standstill. The General Staff of Ukraine’s armed forces said its troops there had repelled 12 attacks by the Russian army between Friday and Saturday. The Ukrainians now were trying to “push back Russian army units as far as possible in order to make life easier for the (western) bank of the Kherson region, so that they get shelled less,” Natalia Humeniuk, spokesperson for Ukraine’s Southern Operational Command, said. In response, the Russian military used “tactical aviation,” including Iranian-made Sha...

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — A 23-year-old Taylor Swift fan died at the singer’s Eras Tour concert in Rio de Janeiro Friday night, according to a statement from the show’s organizers in Brazil.While the cause of death for Ana Clara Benevides Machado has not been announced, media reported that fans were not allowed to take water into the stadium despite soaring temperatures, and the city’s mayor has demanded changes before Swift’s final two shows.In a handwritten note shared on her social media, Swift said she had a “shattered heart.”“There’s very little information I have other than the fact that she was so incredibly beautiful and far too young,” the singer wrote.The show’s organizers, Time4Fun, said on Instagram that Benevides was attended by paramedics after feeling unwell. She was taken to the stadium’s first aid center, then to a hospital, where she died an hour later, the statement read.Several local media reported that water bottles were not allow...

Tempers flare and bills languish as Speaker Johnson confronts the same problems that vexed McCarthy

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:41:27 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — By most accounts, Speaker Mike Johnson inherited a House Republican majority in disarray after the sudden ouster of his predecessor last month.But as Johnson, R-La., tries to rebuild that slim majority, he’s fast running into the same hard-right factions and divisions that Rep. Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., was unable to tame. That’s disrupting the party’s agenda, shelving priorities and leaving gnawing questions about any leader’s ability to govern.Capitol Hill devolved into fresh scenes of political chaos this past week as tensions soared. A Republican senator challenged a Teamsters union boss to a brawl, one of several outbursts involving lawmakers, and the untested new speaker was forced to abandon his own party’s schedule and send everyone home early for Thanksgiving.“This place is a pressure cooker,” Johnson lamented. Hopefully, he said, people will “cool off.”But the outlook ahead appears no better. House Republicans who pledged to slash federa...

Residents battling a new train line in northern Mexico face a wall of government secrecy

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:41:27 GMT

MEXICO CITY (AP) — The family of Germán Robles set up a camera trap in 2002 and, to their surprise, caught a black bear wandering through their farm in northern Mexico where residents fear a new freight train line will soon bisect their properties.The bear, spotted while Robles was in middle school, prompted the family to let a portion of their land go wild after rearing cattle for four generations. Eventually they spotted ocelots and golden eagles, six different species of rattlesnake and a jaguar. Scientists flooded in and by 2011 the ranch was federally designated a Natural Protected Area.Now Robles fears the sanctuary he built with his father is in danger, as government contractors begin felling trees and bulldozing the path for the railroad toward his family’s Aribabi ranch and the town of Imuris, 40 miles (65 kilometers) south of the U.S.-Mexico border.“Things will change completely in a matter of weeks, you know,” Robles said, adding that the project will fragment habit...

SpaceX launches its giant new rocket but a pair of explosions ends the second test flight

SpaceX launched its mega rocket Starship on Saturday, but lost the booster and then the spacecraft minutes into the test flight.The booster had sent the rocketship toward space, but communication was lost eight minutes after liftoff from South Texas and SpaceX declared that the vehicle had failed.The trouble cropped up as the ship’s engines were almost done firing to put it on an around-the-world path. Minutes earlier, the booster exploded, but not until its job was done, putting the ship on a course toward space.At 400 feet, Starship is the biggest and most powerful rocket ever built.The first test flight in April ended in an explosion soon after liftoff.
