Close calls between drones and airplanes are on the rise. Researchers now say drones could be more deadly than collisions with birds.Pilot Jake Fredericks was coming in for a landing when he says a drone shot up right in front of him, coming up through the clouds when he was on instrument approach.He estimates it was only 200 feet in front of him."I felt like my life flashed before my eyes, you know if we would have hit that thing, that could have potentially been death for us," he said.Pilot Jeff Munford told us last year about his close call with a drone as he flew over the Georgia-Florida line. Nationwide, reports of drone sightings by pilots has shot up nearly 91 percent since 2015.FAA rules prohibit people from flying drones within five miles of an airport or above 400 feet without permission.The I-Team found Florida pilots reported 288 close calls with drones last year, including two dozen in the Tampa Bay area.Kevin Poorman of the University of Dayton's research institute has been doing bird strike testing for more than two decades.His researchers fired both a replica bird and a two pound drone at a wing."If you look from the exterior, it looks like the bird does more external damage, but the drone had the ability to immediately puncture right through and carry farther to do more damage," Poorman said. "If you go to a 10 pound drone, that's five times the energy."Pilot and Drone instructor Jason Lorenzon believes it's important to teach drone pilots the rules of the sky, especially as the FAA expects the number of drones to approach 3 million by 2022."You can go and pick one of these up off Amazon and it doesn't come with that extensive of a pilot operating handbook, let alone rules of the national airspace system. How do you expect Joe Consumer who just purchased it to know the rules?" he said. 1845

Economists are split on whether there will be a recession in the next few years.Many of them say if there is one, it won't be driven by the housing market like last time.However, the housing market still plays a key role in a healthy economy, so experts are watching a few things closely, including supply and demand and home values.Experts predict older Americans will flood the market by putting 21 million homes up for sale over the next 20 years.But some economists say market forces could decimate demand by then.And with low demand, sellers will be forced to lower their prices in order to sell.Experts say the whole process could create a housing bubble, and then, burst it.Experts are also watching subprime lending. That’s when lenders let people with bad credit borrow money.Critics argue those loans are more likely to go into default, especially if there’s any hiccup in the economy.Subprime lending is much lower today than it was before the last housing crisis, but some experts say those rates are still too high.Experts do say new lending standards could prevent mortgages that helped create the crisis. 1131

CHICAGO – According to the USDA, the average head of lettuce travels 1,500 miles from harvest to plate. That transport leaves a heavy carbon footprint as flavors in the produce also begin to degrade. While many have looked to vertical farming as an Eco-friendly alternative, high costs have been a challenge.But inside a warehouse on Chicago’s south side, one entrepreneur hopes to unlock the secret to the future of farming.For the last three years Jake Counne, the founder and CEO of Backyard Fresh Farms, has been pilot testing vertical farming using the principles of manufacturing.“Being able to have the crop come to the farmer instead of the farmer going to the crop,” said Counne. “That translated into huge efficiencies because we can start treating this like a manufacturing process instead of a farming process.”It’s a high-tech approach – implementing artificial intelligence, cameras and robotics that help to yield leafy, organic greens of high quality, while reducing waste and the time it takes to harvest. Some have called it Old McDonald meets Henry Ford. Large pallets of vegetables are run down conveyor belts under LED lights.“The system will be cuing up trays to the harvester based on where the plants are in their life-cycle,” explains Counne.It’s the automation and assembly line he says that makes this vertical farming model unique. Artificial intelligence algorithms and cameras monitor the growth of the crops. Lead research and development scientist Jonathan Weekley explains how the cameras work. “They’re capturing live images, they’re doing live image analysis,” he said. “They’re also collecting energy use data so we can monitor how much energy our lights are using.”“So, what essentially happens is the plant itself is becoming the sensor that controls its own environment,” Counne added. Another factor that makes the process different is scaleability. Right now, Backyard Fresh Farms can grow 100 different varieties of vegetables with an eye on expansion.“There’s really no end to type of varieties we can grow and specifically in the leafy greens,” said Counne. “I mean flavors that explode in your mouth.”And it’s becoming big business. The global vertical farming market valued at .2 billion last year is projected to grow to nearly billion by 2026.Daniel Huebschmann, Corporate Executive Chef at Gibson’s Restaurant Group, says the quality of Backyard’s produce is of an extremely high quality. “We’ve talked about freshness, but the flavors are intense,” he says. “It’s just delivering an unbelievably sweet, tender product.”Counne says he has nine patents pending for the hardware and software system he and his team have developed in the 2,000 square foot space. But, he says the ultimate goal is to have the product make its way to grocery shelves nationwide. “The vision is really to build 100 square foot facilities near the major population centers to be able to provide amazing, delicious greens that were grown sustainably,” he said. If he succeeds where others have failed, his high-tech plan could get him a slice of the billion U.S. produce market. At the same time, he hopes to bring sustainable, fresh vegetables to a table near you. 3212

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — SpaceX has delivered two astronauts to the International Space Station. The Dragon capsule arrived at the station at about 10:16 a.m. Sunday, hours after a historic liftoff from Florida’s Cape Canaveral.NASA astronauts Doug Hurley and Bob Behnken reported Sunday that the capsule was performing beautifully, as they closed in for the docking. It's the first time that a privately built and owned spacecraft has delivered a crew to the orbiting lab. The capsule docked automatically, 19 hours after liftoff. SpaceX launched the Dragon from Kennedy Space Center on Saturday afternoon, the first astronaut launch from the U.S. to orbit in nearly a decade. 692
