From 2018 to 2023, there have been 17 billion-dollar climate disasters involving tornadoes. The costs are expected to grow, but the U.S. is not helpless when it comes to tornado damage. Engineers know how to build stronger structures that can withstand high winds. Part of the challenge of creating more tornado resilience in the U.S. is that building codes are generally a local and a financial decision.

A NASA astronaut and two Russian cosmonauts returned to Earth on Wednesday after being stuck in space for just over a year. American Frank Rubio set a record for the longest U.S. spaceflight — a result of the extended stay. Rubio spent more than two weeks longer in space than Mark Vande Hei, who held NASA's previous endurance record for a single spaceflight. Russia holds the world record of 437 days, set in the mid-1990s. The Soyuz capsule that brought Rubio and cosmonauts Sergey Prokopyev and Dmitri Petelin back was a replacement launched in February.

It’s true that the Ukrainian counteroffensive debuted with conspicuous setbacks and hasn’t advanced as much as hoped. Moreover, land seized by Russia earlier has been used to strike ever deeper into Ukraine, making restoring defensible borders an existential concern. But Kyiv got the ammunition needed to sustain the counteroffensive longer while awaiting expanded factory production of conventional shells in 2024. Putin miscalculated disastrously when he invaded in Ukraine, so he’s now hoping to outlast Western support for Ukraine to rescue what spoils he can. But failing to do so now could entail the US, Europe and Ukraine paying a much higher price later.

"We are currently experiencing a technical issue and have applied traffic flow restrictions to maintain safety. Engineers are working to find and fix the fault," a spokesperson said, adding that UK airspace was not closed. Earlier Scottish airline Loganair said on social media site X, previously known as Twitter, that there had been a network-wide failure of UK air traffic control computer systems, warning international flights may face delays.

SpaceXIt may not even be possible to get pregnant in space, but it's probably not worth taking the chance. That's partly because space research has long been dominated by government agencies. Their findings may not be applicable to humans at all, but they offer hints that reproductive functions could be affected by space radiation and microgravity.

On its website, the company provides emissions data for computers and its sustainability-linked sales rose to $3.5 billion in 2021, about 5% of total sales. For HP and Nestlé, more than 95% of their carbon footprint is Scope 3 emissions. To make Scope 3 accounting more accurate, companies can add data that comes directly from their suppliers, if it is available. Businesses can also work together with their suppliers and customers to provide some training and resources to help them get their own carbon accounting in order.

Buhler says the biggest difference he sees in the AI landscape today is the accessibility of the technology. LLMs, he adds, didn't change "everything under the hood, they changed the interface and the way people can interact with AI." With almost any company able to integrate AI into any application, he invests in startups that use AI as real leverage. In the most recent CNBC Technology Executive Council survey, nearly half of the companies (47%) said that AI is their top priority for tech spending over the next year. In fact, AI budgets are more than double those of cloud computing, the second-biggest spending area at 21%.

☆ Ukraine Claims to Retake Another Village in Its Counteroffensive: Live War Updates

The military said it had reclaimed the village of Storozhove early Monday, suggesting it had crossed the Mokri Yaly River from its positions in the village of Blahodatne. The combat with tanks, armored vehicles, howitzers, drones and infantry is happening on farmland near the small river that loops around the villages now changing hands in the fighting. Ukraine did not dispute those claims of losses last week, even as it gave signals that the long-awaited push was underway. It also appeared that flooding after the destruction of the Kakhovka dam on the Dnipro River in southern Ukraine had done little to slow Ukraine’s advance. The Ukrainian military said on Monday that Russia had also blown up a dam on the Mokri Yaly River to thwart Ukrainian crossings.

Tech companies are cutting costs in certain areas to focus spending on AI. See how much tech companies pay employees specializing in AI. However, one area where tech companies are investing is artificial intelligence. Google and other Big Tech giants are competing for talent against new entrants, most notably OpenAI, which created the AI chatbot ChatGPT and is one of today's hottest rising tech companies. Because of this, talented engineers with AI skills can command big salaries, despite tech workers having less power now than in recent history.

And yet, the Grand Canyon remains yoked to the present in one key respect. The Colorado River, whose wild energy incised the canyon over millions of years, is in crisis. Down beneath the tourist lodges and shops selling keychains and incense, past windswept arroyos and brown valleys speckled with agave, juniper and sagebrush, the rocks of the Grand Canyon seem untethered from time. The Grand Canyon is a planetary spectacle like none other — one that also happens to host a river that 40 million people rely on for water and power. At Mile 0 of the Grand Canyon, the river is running at around 7,000 cubic feet per second, rising toward 9,000 — not the lowest flows on record, but far from the highest.

To get to and from the space station, NASA currently relies on SpaceX, the company founded by Elon Musk. But NASA has also hired Boeing to build a capsule, so that one can serve as a backup if something goes wrong with the other. Boeing’s Starliner capsule has flown to orbit twice already with no astronauts aboard. “This is just part of the business to have these kinds of issues.”What’s Next: Boeing and NASA will assess repairs. After re-entering Earth’s atmosphere, the Starliner capsule returns to Earth gently under three parachutes.

From 1950 to 1990, the U.S. Energy Department produced an average of four nuclear bombs every day, turning them out of hastily built factories with few environmental safeguards that left behind a vast legacy of toxic radioactive waste. Nowhere were the problems greater than at the Hanford Site in Washington State, where engineers sent to clean up the mess after the Cold War discovered 54 million gallons of highly radioactive sludge left from producing the plutonium in America’s atomic bombs, including the one dropped on the Japanese city of Nagasaki in 1945. Cleaning out the underground tanks that were leaching poisonous waste toward the Columbia River just six miles away and somehow stabilizing it for permanent disposal presented one of the most complex chemical problems ever encountered. Engineers thought they had solved it years ago with an elaborate plan to pump out the sludge, embed it in glass and deposit it deep in the mountains of the Nevada desert.

WASHINGTON, April 28 (Reuters) - Some Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) engineers recommended grounding the Boeing (BA.N) 737 MAX in March 2019 after a second fatal crash and before the agency took action, a report released Friday said. The Transportation Department's Office of Inspector General said in a report that its review of emails and interviews of FAA officials revealed individual engineers recommended "grounding the airplane while the accident was being investigated based on what they perceived as similarities" between two fatal Boeing 737 MAX crashes in Indonesia and Ethiopia. The report FAA officials "expressed frustration that foreign civil aviation authorities were grounding the aircraft before they had data that linked the two accidents." "We also continue to look for additional opportunities to apply lessons learned from the Boeing 737 MAX's return to service," the agency said Friday. The inspector general added the engineer's risk analysis was not completed and did not go through managerial review citing a lack of detailed flight data.
