...Tami gets an earful from rezoned parents upset about their kids' being sent to "that hellhole ... with that element." Taylor sees more black and brown faces at East Dillon, including Vince Howard (Michael B. Jordan), a juvenile offender who joins the team through a Cops and Jocks program...
...which contribute to respiratory illnesses and exacerbate existing heart and lung problems, near coastlines 900% by 2020. Industry insiders expect the IMO will also cap greenhouse-gas emissions. "If the shipping industry was a country, it would be the sixth largest emitter of greenhouse gases," says Fanta Kamakate, a program director at the International Council on Clean Transportation.

Wednesday's launch marked the first time in more than 40 years that NASA has tested a prototype of a new rocket system to take passengers beyond Earth orbit. Ares I is part of a family of new rockets in NASA's Constellation program, which was propelled by former President George W. Bush's 2005 space initiative to go to Mars or back to the moon. Ares would be equipped to fill in for the aging space shuttle - which is planned for retirement in 2010, although scheduled shuttle flights are likely to extend into 2011 - on missions to the International...
Regardless of the success of the $445 million flight test, the significance of the 327-ft. rocket is uncertain. A report delivered to the White House on Oct. 22 from the Human Space Flights Plan Committee said the Constellation program's goals were underfunded. The committee, headed by Norman Augustine, retired chairman and CEO of Lockheed Martin Corp., concluded that NASA needs another $3 billion a year to pursue meaningful human space exploration beyond low Earth orbit. Facing a $1.4 trillion federal deficit, even NASA's most ardent supporters in Congress, who represent some of the 60,000 jobs associated...
...Ares, with its Orion capsule sitting atop a rocket, returns NASA to the Apollo model, which went into retirement in the 1970s having never lost a capsule crew in flight. (The program did have its disasters, though: the Apollo 1 crew perished in a launch-pad fire and Apollo 13 suffered an oxygen-tank explosion and power failure on its way to the moon.) Shaped like the Apollo capsule but three times larger, the Orion can be reused up to 10 times. The Ares I and V, vertically stacked launch vehicles, make use of reusable solid rocket boosters...
