The weapon resembles a US sea drone the group captured years ago, analysts told BI. AdvertisementThe Houthi rebels in Yemen have a new torpedo to show off — and it looks familiar. Martin Kelly of the UK advisory firm EOS Risk Group, said the torpedo could derive from a US REMUS 600 drone lost in 2018. Houthi forcesPer Kelly, Iranian scientists could have turned a captive example into a "blueprint" for the homegrown weapon seen this week. He told BI that the torpedo looked like models put on display at an Iranian navy exhibition in Tehran in December 2023.

Ukrainian drones hit an ammo depot at a Russian airbase and a weapons factory over the weekend. These marked Ukraine's latest deep strikes targeting a key military facility inside Russia. US officials and war analysts have said this campaign will complicate Russian operations in Ukraine. The strike operations demonstrated Kyiv's long reach as it targets key military facilities inside Russia. Ukraine said it also produces guided glide bombs, the highly destructive weapons Russia has used to wreak havoc on Ukrainian troop positions and civilians.

☆ Europe’s centrists are flocking to the right on migration, as a far right surge and a border crisis spooks the continent
▼ + stars: | 2024-10-20 | by ( Rob Picheta | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +10 min

Increasingly, Europe’s centrist figureheads are dropping their once-high-minded rhetoric on irregular migration, reaching instead for positions that were previously the preserve of the continent’s populist rabble-rousers. In Poland, like in much of Europe, “voters across the board expect that border security and migration controls are the priority,” Kucharczyk said. But Thursday’s victory for Tusk in Brussels underscores a broader, rightward shift across Europe on the issue of irregular migration. “It’s an existential issue for this coalition, and they don’t want to take chances on issues like migration,” Kucharczyk said. The wider question is whether the longstanding principles of the border-free Schengen Area can survive an enduring era of rising migration and populist subversion.

US Army soldiers are training to operate at night in the challenging jungle environment of the Pacific. During a recent war game, soldiers engaged in a long-range maritime air assault to seize an airfield at night. US Army Pacific held its large-scale annual Joint Pacific Multinational Readiness Center training rotation in Hawaii earlier this month. During this year's JPMRC rotation in Hawaii, soldiers executed a long-range maritime air assault involving around 300 soldiers traveling to seize an airfield 200 miles away in the middle of the night.

Troops focused on how to be "small and undetectable" in the electromagnetic spectrum, a commander said. The Ukraine war has demonstrated the challenges of remaining hidden from enemy sensors and electronic warfare. It is also grappling with the expanding sensor threat and the realization that individual soldier, vehicle, and device emissions can be detected in the electromagnetic spectrum. AdvertisementRemaining hidden in the electromagnetic spectrum is a challenge, though, and completely invisible isn't an option.

After liftoff, the Super Heavy booster returned to the launch in a world-first maneuver. The Super Heavy booster released Starship on its path toward space, then began to fall back to Earth. A huge step toward Musk's vision of colonizing MarsOn Sunday, SpaceX's Super Heavy booster returned home and was caught in midair with giant mechanical arms. SpaceX makes rocket historyIn past Starship test flights, the Super Heavy booster either exploded mid-flight or landed in the water. SpaceX said regulators were delaying Starship's fifth test launch because of minor changes and that the FAA was dragging its heels.

SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket lands upright for the first time in the Atlantic Ocean on the "Of Course I Still Love You" droneship in April 2016. Landing boosters after flight is a feat that SpaceX has mastered with its smaller workhorse rocket, the Falcon 9. SpaceX says that has driven down its costs, allowing the company to underprice the rest of the rocket market. Just before touchdown, the Falcon 9 fires up its engines again — essentially using that power as a braking system. With 33 engines at its base, each more powerful than one of the nine used on the Falcon, the Super Heavy booster packs roughly 10 times the amount of thrust at liftoff.

The inaugural test launch of a Starship and Super Heavy — called an integrated test flight — took off in April 2023. The last test launch — the fourth of SpaceX’s integrated test flight campaign — took off in June. The concept animation above simulates how a successful catch of the Super Heavy rocket by Mechazilla could play out. On the fifth test flight, the upper Starship spacecraft will once again attempt to land upright in a controlled maneuver over the ocean. For example, SpaceX must figure out how to refuel a Starship spacecraft while it’s stationed in orbit.

CNN —Federal regulators granted SpaceX its long-awaited license to move forward with a fifth uncrewed test launch of Starship, the most powerful rocket system ever constructed. The FAA had been expected to hand down a license for this test launch weeks ago. SpaceX has also publicly denied reports that the company violated wastewater regulations with the deluge system, which SpaceX says uses potable water. Notably, the company launched a 2020 test flight of a prototype rocket, called Starship SN8, without obtaining prior approval from the FAA for a public safety waiver. At one point in 2023, for example, he said that he did not blame the FAA for holding up Starship launches.

CNN —Researchers in Denmark have published a case report revealing an unexpected consequence of one of breakdancing’s most iconic moves: the headspin. Breakdancing, or breaking as it’s called by its athletes, made its debut as an official sport at the 2024 Paris Olympics. These can include carpal tunnel syndrome and other nerve problems, as well as a condition known in the breaking community as headspin hole, an overuse injury that can affect the scalp. “This repetitive strain on the skull, scalp and skin likely triggers inflammation, and over time, minor bleeding may lead to thickened skin and scar tissue, forming the characteristic bulge.” Søndergaard, a co-author of the case report, treated the patient.
