Keeping an eye on threatening weather, engineers readied a United Launch Alliance Atlas 5 rocket for blastoff Tuesday on a make-or-break flight to boost Boeing's Starliner crew capsule into orbit for an unpiloted trip to the International Space Station. The launching comes 18 months after Starliner software errors derailed a 2019 test flight.
Boeing is counting on the test flight to finally clear the way for piloted missions that will eventually ferry astronauts to and from the station under a $4.2 billion commercial crew contract with NASA. The countdown began at 2 a.m. ET, ticking toward liftoff from pad 41 at the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station at 1:20 p.m. ET. The launch was initially planned for last Friday, but NASA ordered a delay while Russian space station engineers resolved problems with a newly arrived laboratory module.On May 7, health influencer Paul Saladino, M.D.. posted a video to his X account that promoted feeding "raw dairy" to infants. The post received over 90,000 views and sparked strong backlash before it was removed the following day. Saladino regularly advocates for "animal-based" diets featuring raw milk, including on his TikTok channel where he has over half a million followers.
Everywhere you look, things are getting more complicated. Our phones have over a thousand settings. Showerheads come with apps. Cars have touchscreens. Ovens have touchscreens. "There's no doubt that 'featuritis' is real," said design consultant Jakob Nielsen. "Most of these things are too complicated."
New research is adding to the evidence linking ultra-processed foods to health concerns. The study tracked people's habits over 30 years and found those who reported eating more of certain ultra-processed foods had a slightly higher risk of death — with four categories of foods found to be the biggest culprits.
