At least three dozen service members have been killed in military aviation mishaps in one year — a concerning trend at a time of increasing U.tension with Russia, Iran, and China. Also concerning is that a council at the Pentagon, created in 2022 and aimed at preventing military aviation mishaps, instead discussed motorcycle accidents at a July 2023 meeting.

If there's anything that reconnecting with your estranged, drug-addicted daughter and editing a movie have in common, it's that neither are an easy task.

For one, no one can deliver takeout to the International Space Station. Likewise, because space food needs to be safe and nutritious, and last for at least five years, most of the fare onboard tends to be freeze-dried or packaged in disposable containers. . In 2019, NASA and the CSA (Canadian Space Agency) started the Deep Space Food Challenge, a multi-year international effort to develop sustainable food systems for long-duration habitation in space, including on the moon and Mars.

Guided bomb units (GBUs) are extremely effective against static targets. They came into their own during the Vietnam war when they were used to bomb difficult targets like bridges. As time passed, improvements were made to their guidance, and their range was extended. All bombs glide because of their trajectory upon release from the delivery aircraft, but the range of a guided bomb can be extended by the addition of fold-out wings.

Agencies have another chance to review and request special salary rates for hard-to-fill positions. The Office of Personnel Management's annual data call asks agencies to take a look at any jobs that might need a higher salary than General Schedule rates to help with recruitment and retention. Agencies will also have to consider any positions that currently have a special salary rate, but no longer need one.
