Rescuers in a remote area of the Atlantic Ocean are racing against time to find a missing submersible before the oxygen supply runs out for five people who were on a mission to document the wreckage of the Titanic. Despite an international rescue effort, US Coast Guard officials said the search covering 26,000 square kilometres had turned up no signs of the lost sub known as the Titan, but they planned to continue looking. Authorities reported the carbon-fibre vessel overdue Sunday night, setting off the search in waters about 700km south of St John's, Newfoundland. Aboard were a pilot, renowned British adventurer Hamish Harding, two members of a Pakistani business family, and a Titanic expert. The submersible had a 96-hour oxygen supply when it was put to sea at roughly 6am Sunday, according to David Concannon, an adviser to OceanGate Expeditions, which oversaw the mission. That means the oxygen supply could run out tomorrow night (NZ time). Titanic tourist submersible missing graphic CBS News journalist David Pogue, who travelled to the Titanic aboard the Titan last year, said the vehicle communicates by text messages that go back and forth to a surface ship and safety pings that are emitted every 15 minutes to indicate that the sub is still working. Both systems stopped about an hour and 45 minutes after the Titan submerged. “Either they lost all power or the ship developed a hull breach and it imploded instantly. Both of those are devastatingly hopeless,” Pogue told CBC yesterday. The submersible had seven backup systems to return to the surface, including sandbags and lead pipes that drop off and an inflatable balloon. One system is designed to work even if everyone aboard is unconscious, Pogue said. The Titan is prepared for a dive into a remote area of the Atlantic Ocean on an expedition to the Titanic on Sunday, June 18, 2023. Photo / AP Experts said the rescuers face steep challenges. Alistair Greig, a professor of marine engineering at University College London, said submersibles typically have a drop weight, which is “a mass they can release in the case of an emergency to bring them up to the surface using buoyancy”. “If there was a power failure and/or communication failure, this might have happened, and the submersible would then be bobbing about on the surface waiting to be found,” Greig said. Another scenario is a leak in the pressure hull, in which case the prognosis is not good, he said. “If it has gone down to the seabed and can't get back up under its own power, options are very limited,” Greig said. “While the submersible might still be intact, if it is beyond the continental shelf, there are very few vessels that can get that deep, and certainly not divers.” Even if they could go that deep, he doubts rescuers could attach to the submersible. By Tuesday morning, 26,000sq km had been searched, the US Coast Guard tweeted. The Canadian research icebreaker Polar Prince, which was supporting the Titan, was to continue conducting surface searches with help from a Canadian Boeing P-8 Poseidon reconnaissance aircraft, the Coast Guard said on Twitter. Two US Lockheed C-130 Hercules aircraft also conducted overflights. The Canadian military dropped sonar buoys to listen for any possible sounds from the Titan. Concannon, who said he was supposed to be on the dive but could not go, said officials were also working to get a remotely operated vehicle that can dive to a depth of 6km to the site as soon as possible. OceanGate's expeditions to the Titanic wreck site include archaeologists and marine biologists. The company also brings people who pay to come along, known as “mission specialists”. They take turns operating sonar equipment and performing other tasks in the submersible. The Coast Guard said Monday that the Titan carried a pilot and four “mission specialists”. However, OceanGate's website suggests that the fifth person may be a so-called “content expert” who guides the paying customers. Authorities have yet to formally identify those on board, though some names have been confirmed, including OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush, who, according to the company, was a member of the crew. Billionaire adventurer Hamish Harding looks out to sea before boarding the submersible Titan for a dive into the Atlantic Ocean on an expedition to the Titanic. Photo / AP Rush told the Associated Press in June 2021 that the Titan's technology was “very cutting edge” and was developed with the help of Nasa and aerospace manufacturers. “This is the only submersible – crewed submersible – that's made of carbon fibre and titanium,” Rush said, calling it the “largest carbon fibre structure that we know of,” with 12cm-thick carbon fibre and 8cm-thick titanium. Harding, who lives in Dubai, was one of the mission specialists, according to Action Aviation, a company where Harding is chairman. Harding is a billionaire adventurer who holds three Guinness world records, including the longest duration at full ocean depth by a crewed vessel. In March 2021, he and ocean explorer Victor Vescovo descended to the lowest depth of the Mariana Trench. In June 2022, he went into space on Blue Origin's New Shepard rocket. US Coast Guard Rear Admiral John Mauger, commander of the First Coast Guard District, talks about the search for a missing submersible that carries people to view the wreckage of the Titanic. Photo / AP Also on board were Pakistani nationals Shahzada Dawood and his son Suleman, according to the family. The Dawoods belong to one of Pakistan's most prominent families. Their eponymous firm invests across the country in agriculture, industries and the health sector. Shahzada Dawood also is on the board of trustees for the California-based Seti Institute that searches for extraterrestrial intelligence. French explorer and Titanic expert Paul-Henry Nargeolet was also aboard, according to David Gallo, a senior adviser for strategic initiatives and special projects at RMS Titanic. Gallo identified Nargeolet, a friend who has led multiple expeditions to the Titanic, on Tuesday during an interview with CNN. Greg Stone, a longtime ocean scientist based in California and a friend of Rush, called the lost submersible “a fundamentally new submarine design” that showed great promise for future research. Unlike its predecessors, the Titan was not spherical.  “Stockton was a risk taker. He was smart. He had a vision. He wanted to push things forward,” Stone said. The expedition was OceanGate's third annual voyage to chronicle the deterioration of Titanic, which struck an iceberg and sank in 1912, killing all but about 700 of the roughly 2200 passengers and crew. Since the wreckage's discovery in 1985, it has been slowly succumbing to metal-eating bacteria. OceanGate's website said the “mission support fee” for the 2023 expedition was $250,000 a person. Recalling his own trip aboard the Titan, Pogue said the vessel got turned around looking for the Titanic. “There's no GPS underwater, so the surface ship is supposed to guide the sub to the shipwreck by sending text messages,” Pogue said in a segment aired on CBS' Sunday Morning. “But on this dive, communications somehow broke down. The sub never found the wreck.” - Ben Finley & Holly Ramer, APSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There are 7.6 billion people on the planet Earth, but only a small handful of private citizens have ever been to space — the final frontier ;-) A TAXI member is joining that tiny handful of “regular” citizens who've been fortunate enough to travel to space. He launches on Tuesday, October 12th, and I want you to meet him before his flight! Chris Boshuizen is a musician, just like you. He's a “regular” guy, who just happens to be going to space aboard Blue Origin's New Shepard. Chris and I became friends several years ago. I know his “story,” and I want him to share it with you. You'll be fascinated and inspired. Chris is shining example of what happens when passion and persistence come together. Many of you have probably met Chris (aka Dr. Chrispy) at past Road Rallies, so this will be especially exciting for you. How many of us can say we know somebody who's been to space? And how many of us have friends who get to ham it up aboard the “Vomit Comet” during pre-flight, Zero G training?!

An experiment rode next to Richard Branson when he rocketed to the edge of space on Virgin Galactic's SpaceShipTwo last month.

Why Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk are battling it out among the stars. Ed Butler speaks to Brad Stone, author of the book Amazon Unbound, about Amazon founder Jeff Bezos's lifelong obsession with space, and to Christian Davenport, space reporter for the Washington Post, about the growing rivalry between the worlds two richest men over government space contracts and the future of the space economy. Former astronaut Janet Kavandi tells us why, like Elon Musk, NASA has Mars colonisation in its sights.

Blue Origin's New Shepard raket, van Amazon oprichter Jeff Bezos, zou volgens media zoals de Volkskrant en Politifact, best schoon vliegen als je de productie van de brandstof buiten beschouwing laat. Deze raket vliegt namelijk op een mix van waterstof en vloeibare zuurstof, en daarom stoot de gigantische vlam geen CO2 uit. Maar wat gebeurt er als we de productie van de brandstof niét buiten beschouwing laten?

This week saw the Perseverance rover prepare to begin taking its first sample of Martian soil in the continued search for evidence of ancient life on Mars, as the FAA changed its definition of what it means to be an astronaut. In this episode of the Space Connect Podcast, co-hosts Adam Thorn, Liam Garman and Hannah Dowling discuss the latest update on the Mars rover's movements and the ethical implications - and risks - of searching for life on other planets. Plus, the team discusses Jeff Bezos' first spaceflight aboard Blue Origin's New Shepard, and the FAA's decision to alter the requirements for those seeking ‘astronaut wings' in light of the growing trend of ‘space tourism'. Finally, the team reveals the latest news in Australia's home-grown space industry, including the first grants offered under the UK-AU Space Bridge, and the establishment of the NSW Space Research Network.

Freedom day arrived in England this week, as the country dropped most covid restrictions. But as cases continue to rise and many people, children included, remain unvaccinated, the team discuss why hundreds of experts are calling the move an ‘unethical experiment'. High levels of methane have been detected on Mars by the Curiosity rover, which could indicate life on the Red Planet - but the team explains why they aren't breaking out the champagne just yet. They then discuss the launch of Blue Origin's New Shepard spacecraft, with Jeff Bezos announcing his plans to build a ‘road to space'. There's also news about a tomato nervous system, as biologists discover the sophisticated methods the plants use to communicate. And the team touches on the discovery of a new genetic element named after the Borg in Star Trek, which could aid in the fight against climate change. On the pod are Rowan Hooper, Chelsea Whyte, and Cat de Lange. To read about these stories and much more, subscribe at newscientist.com/podcasts.

Jeff Bezos, the world's richest man, went to space and back Tuesday morning on an 11-minute, supersonic joy ride aboard the rocket and capsule system developed by his space company, Blue Origin. Riding alongside the multibillionaire were Bezos' brother, Mark Bezos; Wally Funk, an 82-year-old pilot and one of the "Mercury 13" women who trained to go to space in the 20th century but never got to fly; and an 18-year old recent high school graduate named Oliver Daemen who was Blue Origin's first paying customer and whose father, an investor, purchased his ticket. Funk and Daemen became the oldest and youngest people, respectively, ever to travel to space. And this flight marked the first-ever crewed mission for Blue Origin's New Shepard suborbital space tourism rocket, which the company plans to use to take wealthy thrill seekers on high-flying joy rides in the months and years to come.To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy

In today's top stories, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos has successfully launched into space on board Blue Origin's New Shepard rocket, Amazon tells employees it will stop onsite COVID testing this month and Apple delays its return to office amidst a COVID resurgence in the US.

Brunei, Malaysia, Taiwan, Vietnam and the Philippines have all staked their claims to the South China Sea, but Beijing's pursuit of the vital waterway is by far the most aggressive. The South China Sea is rich in oil and gas and more than three trillion dollars in trade passes through every year. The dispute is decades old, but in the last few years it's taken a turn for the worse. And many in the region blame Beijing. Since 2014, Beijing has been militarising the South China Sea, turning small islands and reefs into naval bases. Also, Richard Branson achieved a lifelong dream after successfully flying to the edge of space aboard Virgin Galactic's Unity space ship. He hopes the voyage ushers in the start of a new age of space tourism. Fellow billionaire Jeff Bezos has his own rival launch planned on July 20 with Blue Origin's New Shepard. Are these private launches great leaps for mankind or a waste of money that could be far better spent solving Earth's crises?

This week saw NASA finally locate a possible repair for the famous Hubble Space Telescope, while Blue Origin announced that its $30m bidder for a seat on Jeff Bezos' space flight is suddenly too busy to attend. In this episode of the Space Connect podcast, co-hosts Adam Thorn, Liam Garman and Hannah Dowling discuss the upcoming Bezos spaceflight on Blue Origin's New Shepard spacecraft, the multimillion-dollar bidder's sudden change of heart, and who is set to take their place. Plus, the team talks you through the current state of the Hubble Space Telescope after being out of action for over a month, and how NASA believes it has located a possible repair for the flying observatory. Closer to home, the team also discusses a new partnership between Thales Australia and Western Sydney University, and their recent grant funding falling under NASA's Moon to Mars mission.

On the CBS News Weekend Roundup with host Allison Keyes, COVID-19 cases are surging in 46 states. Health experts are blaming the combination of unvaccinated people and the highly contagious Delta variant. We get the latest from from infectious disease expert Dr. William Schaffner at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. Allison also speaks with Erica DeBoer at Sanford Health, the largest rural health care organization in the nation, about the nurses shortage across the country...especially in rural areas. The CDC released disturbing data this week, that found drug overdoses rose by nearly 30 percent last year. CBS's Peter King reports. President Biden met with Senate Democrats, seeking support for his massive spending plan. CBS's Kris Van Cleave has the details. The State Department is playing catchup to renew the backlog of expired passports, many were not updated because of the pandemic. As CBS's Anthony Pura tells us, appointments are tough to come by. Travelers may also need to get used to paying more, as travel prices continue to spike. CBS's Errol Barnett reports. In intergalactic travel news, Allison tells us about the youngest and oldest people heading into space on on Blue Origin's New Shepard on July 20th. In the Kaleidoscope, we discuss Grammy winning pop star Britney Spears and a major victory in her fight to end her conservatorship, and we she has called an abusive legal arrangement. Earlier this week, Spears was given the right to hire her own attorney for the first time since her father began managing her career and finances in 2008, when she had mental health issues. Rick Black, executive director of the Center for Estate Administration Reform, spoke at a #FreeBritney rally this week, but tells Allison she is far from the only victim. In our "Eye on Earth" series, CBS's Chris Livesay looks at the effects of climate change on one of Italy's most famous tourist destinations. There's a new study out from NASA and the University of Hawaii that warns that upcoming changes in the Moon's orbit -- a wobble if you will -- could lead to record flooding in the 2030s. Allison gets details from lead study author Phil Thompson. After a break over the pandemic, the 113th Chicago Auto show is open. CBS's Jennifer Keiper has details. Finally, Saturday marks the one year anniversary of the death of civil rights icon and Georgia Representative John Lewis. He was arrested 45 times, and nearly killed in 1965 as he fought for freedom and voting rights. As he was lying in state at the U-S Capitol, one of his most powerful speeches was played. At his funeral, former President Obama reminded mourners that the battle continues. Allison asks CBS's Nikole Killion to look back -- and ahead.

Sir Richard Branson added new fuel to the billionaire space race July 11 when he and his Virgin Galactic crewmates floated in suborbital space.  "To all you kids down there, I was once a child with a dream, looking up to the stars," Branson said before unbuckling. "Now, I'm an adult in a spaceship with lots of other wonderful adults, looking down to a beautiful, beautiful Earth. For the next generation of dreamers, if we can do this, just imagine what you can do." Can Jeff Bezos top that? We'll soon find out. Amazon's founder is set to go even higher as a passenger July 20 on the first crewed flight for his space venture Blue Origin's New Shepard rocket.  On this special episode of the GeekWire Podcast: the dawn of a new era in space tourism, what to watch when the Amazon founder blasts off next week, and what's next for commercial space exploration. Joining us is longtime space journalist Alan Boyle, GeekWire contributing editor, who has covered Bezos' space ambitions for years.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jamie and Robin are joined by Chris Esposito, founder of the Space with Spo Show, to chat about Blue Origin's New Shepard auction (before they closed the bidding) and the Pentagon's upcoming UFO report.

Join the Episode after party on Discord! Link: https://discord.gg/ZzJSrGP People accuse SpaceX of displacing Texas residents, destroying wildlife in new documentary Link: https://thehill.com/changing-america/sustainability/environment/517665-people-accuse-spacex-of-displacing-texas After Celia Garcia retired from social work in Michigan, she started spending winters in Boca Chica, Texas, where she was born and raised, due to her severe asthma. When the coronavirus pandemic began, she moved there full time to enjoy the quiet, with no neighbors in sight and abundant wildlife around. “It's been a very stressful year,” she told Changing America. Not because of the pandemic, but her new neighbors: SpaceX, which built a private rocket production facility, test site and spaceport in Boca Chica — about 20 miles east of Brownsville, Texas, on the Gulf Coast. A new documentary by Vice TV, “VICE VERSA: Between Musk and Mars," features Garcia and several of her neighbors who have refused buyout offers and are watching SpaceX transform their homes. “It's a very, very unique beautiful area, [it's] not for everyone because it's very remote — 20 miles away from Brownsville — but that's what I loved about it was the remoteness, the quietness, the unpopulated area and the wildlife,” Garcia said. Changing America has reached out to SpaceX for comment. Garcia said the SpaceX CEO and billionaire has visited several times, trying to convince her to sell and even threatening to file for eminent domain, although that power rests only with the government. She's not moving and was insulted by the 64-page contract offering $190,000 for her home, calling it a "gunpoint offer." “Space X is supposed to be a good neighbor but they're not, they act like they are God's employees,” Garcia said. “But I'm a good neighbor. I try not to cause problems or do anything.” Blue Origin will launch its next New Shepard suborbital test flight Thursday Link: https://www.space.com/blue-origin-new-shepard-ng-13-launch-september-2020 Blue Origin's reusable New Shepard spacecraft will take to the skies this week for the first time in nine months. New Shepard, which is designed to ferry people and payloads to suborbital space and back, will launch on an uncrewed test flight Thursday (Sept. 24) at 11:00 a.m. EDT (1500 GMT) from Blue Origin's Texas location, company representatives announced today (Sept. 22). The suborbital flight will be the seventh for this particular vehicle and the 13th for Blue Origin's New Shepard program overall. Thursday's liftoff will also be the first launch for the company since December 2019, when this same New Shepard vehicle launched on its sixth test flight. New Shepard consists of a rocket and a capsule, both of which are reusable. The rocket comes back to Earth for a powered, vertical landing, like the first stages of SpaceX's Falcon 9 orbital rockets, and the capsule makes soft, parachute-aided touchdowns. New Shepard will eventually fly paying customers to and from suborbital space, if all goes according to Blue Origin's plan. That could start happening relatively soon, though New Shepard has yet to conduct a crewed test flight. These Are The 4 Most Promising Worlds For Alien Life in Our Solar System Link: https://www.sciencealert.com/these-are-the-four-worlds-that-looks-most-promising-for-alien-life The Earth's biosphere contains all the known ingredients necessary for life as we know it. Broadly speaking these are: liquid water, at least one source of energy, and an inventory of biologically useful elements and molecules. Mars Mars is one of the most Earth-like worlds in the Solar System. It has a 24.5-hour day, polar ice caps that expand and contract with the seasons, and a large array of surface features that were sculpted by water during the planet's history. The detection of a lake beneath the southern polar ice cap and methane in the Martian atmosphere (which varies with the seasons and even the time of day) make Mars a very interesting candidate for life. Methane is significant as it can be produced by biological processes. But the actual source for the methane on Mars is not yet known. Europa Europa was discovered by Galileo Galilei in 1610, along with Jupiter's three other larger moons. It is slightly smaller than Earth's moon and orbits the gas giant at a distance of some 670,000km once every 3.5 days. Europa is constantly squeezed and stretched by the competing gravitational fields of Jupiter and the other Galilean moons, a process known as tidal flexing. The moon is believed to be a geologically active world, like the Earth, because the strong tidal flexing heats its rocky, metallic interior and keeps it partially molten. The surface of Europa is a vast expanse of water ice. Many scientists think that beneath the frozen surface is a layer of liquid water – a global ocean – which is prevented from freezing by the heat from flexing and which may be over 100 km deep. Evidence for this ocean includes geysers erupting through cracks in the surface ice, a weak magnetic field and chaotic terrain on the surface, which could have been deformed by ocean currents swirling beneath. This icy shield insulates the subsurface ocean from the extreme cold and vacuum of space, as well as Jupiter's ferocious radiation belts. Enceladus Like Europa, Enceladus is an ice-covered moon with a subsurface ocean of liquid water. Enceladus orbits Saturn and first came to the attention of scientists as a potentially habitable world following the surprise discovery of enormous geysers near the moon's south pole. These jets of water escape from large cracks on the surface and, given Enceladus' weak gravitational field, spray out into space. They are clear evidence of an underground store of liquid water. Not only was water detected in these geysers but also an array of organic molecules and, crucially, tiny grains of rocky silicate particles that can only be present if the sub-surface ocean water was in physical contact with the rocky ocean floor at a temperature of at least 90 ˚C. Titan Titan is the largest moon of Saturn and the only moon in the Solar System with a substantial atmosphere. It contains a thick orange haze of complex organic molecules and a methane weather system in place of water – complete with seasonal rains, dry periods and surface sand dunes created by wind. The atmosphere consists mostly of nitrogen, an important chemical element used in the construction of proteins in all known forms of life. Radar observations have detected the presence of rivers and lakes of liquid methane and ethane and possibly the presence of cryovolcanoes – volcano-like features that erupt liquid water rather than lava. This suggests that Titan, like Europa and Enceladus, has a sub-surface reserve of liquid water. Show Stuff Join the episode after party on Discord!
