MARGARET BRENNAN: But there is strain on the system when you have a large amount of volume and bad weather at the same time. I also wonder, when we see a forecast like we just did from NOAA that we're going to have a more severe hurricane season this summer, what you a...
It was the exact type of crash that highway safety experts tell CBS News a system called Electronic Stability Control could have prevented, had it been used. Understandably, much national attention focused on the safety of transporting hazardous materials on railroads after the East Palestine, Ohi...
"This public safety determination means the Falcon 9 vehicle may return to flight operations while the overall investigation remains open, provided all other license requirements are met," the FAA said in a statement. Along with providing an update on SpaceX's near-term Falcon 9 plans, Walker ...
Braking into orbit around Jupiter in July 2016, Juno will swoop to within 3,100 miles of the gargantuan planet's cloud tops once each orbit to collect precise data about its magnetic and gravitational field strength. But it will do so in an orbit around the planet's poles, ducking below ...
The capsule, meanwhile, landed a short distance away under three large parachutes, firing braking rockets an instant before touchdown, hitting the ground at walking pace and kicking up a cloud of dust. Mission duration was 10 minutes and 15 seconds. ...
After braking into orbit, the astronauts will board a waiting lander and head for touchdown near the moon's south pole, where ice is believed to exist in ultra-cold, permanently shadowed craters. If ice is, in fact, present, future astronauts may be able to break it down to provide water...
you're not using any gas. When you need more power, the gas engine kicks in as well, and then when you're slowing down and braking, the power from the wheels is reclaimed and stored in the battery. All told, the Prius gets 45 to 50 miles per gallon of gas, but it is still usi...
5. Obey the "Check Engine" Light An unscientific survey I conducted for the New York Times in 2003 found that most people don't have a clue what this light means. Often, the light is saying that the car's emissions system is malfunctioning. If your oxygen sensor has failed, replacing ...
NTSB said the pilots "confirmed that they utilized heavy braking to bring the aircraft to a stop." Besides the pilots, NTSB said investigators also interviewed a Southwest dispatcher, who was on the flight, riding in the jump seat, and listened to the cockpit voice recorder. Investigators...
