Russia is reportedly developing a space-based nuclear weapon designed to disable or destroy satellites. The United States Congress and America's European allies were informed of Russia's plans to develop the anti-satellite capability on Wednesday (Feb. 14). It's unclear what the exact nature of the planned weapon is — that is, whether it involves detonating a nuclear explosive in space or is another anti-satellite technology powered by a space-based nuclear reactor.

Aug. 1 (UPI) --. The airline announced that the cups of instant noodles will no longer be available in economy class on long-haul flights starting Aug. 15. "In the case of ramyeon service, burn accidents occur frequently due to hot water," a Korean Air press release stated. "In economy class, flight attendants must move several cups of noodles filled with hot water at once, and passengers are crowded together, so the risk of burns has been high." The company blamed "the increasing trend of turbulence" for the dangers, noting that there were twice as many turbulence reports in the first quarter of 2024 as there were in the same period of 2019.
