After November 30, we will unblock the middle seat on our flights. This decision was not made lightly, and we'd like to share how we arrived at it. (1/8)— Southwest Airlines (@SouthwestAir) October 22, 2020 214

After almost two years circling an ancient asteroid hundreds of millions of miles away, a NASA spacecraft this week will attempt to descend to the treacherous, boulder-packed surface and snatch a handful of rubble.The drama unfolds Tuesday as the U.S. takes its first crack at collecting asteroid samples for return to Earth, a feat accomplished so far only by Japan.Brimming with names inspired by Egyptian mythology, the Osiris-Rex mission is looking to bring back at least 2 ounces (60 grams) worth of asteroid Bennu, the biggest otherworldly haul from beyond the moon.The van-sized spacecraft is aiming for the relatively flat middle of a tennis court-sized crater named Nightingale — a spot comparable to a few parking places here on Earth. Boulders as big as buildings loom over the targeted touchdown zone.“So for some perspective, the next time you park your car in front of your house or in front of a coffee shop and walk inside, think about the challenge of navigating Osiris-Rex into one of these spots from 200 million miles away,” said NASA’s deputy project manager Mike Moreau.Once it drops out of its half-mile-high (0.75 kilometer-high) orbit around Bennu, the spacecraft will take a deliberate four hours to make it all the way down, to just above the surface.Then the action cranks up when Osiris-Rex’s 11-foot (3.4-meter) arm reaches out and touches Bennu. Contact should last five to 10 seconds, just long enough to shoot out pressurized nitrogen gas and suck up the churned dirt and gravel. Programmed in advance, the spacecraft will operate autonomously during the unprecedented touch-and-go maneuver. With an 18-minute lag in radio communication each way, ground controllers for spacecraft builder Lockheed Martin near Denver can’t intervene.If the first attempt doesn’t work, Osiris-Rex can try again. Any collected samples won’t reach Earth until 2023.While NASA has brought back comet dust and solar wind particles, it’s never attempted to sample one of the nearly 1 million known asteroids lurking in our solar system until now. Japan, meanwhile, expects to get samples from asteroid Ryugu in December — in the milligrams at most — 10 years after bringing back specks from asteroid Itokawa.Bennu is an asteroid picker’s paradise.The big, black, roundish, carbon-rich space rock — taller than New York’s Empire State Building — was around when our solar system was forming 4.5 billion years ago. Scientists consider it a time capsule full of pristine building blocks that could help explain how life formed on Earth and possibly elsewhere.“This is all about understanding our origins,” said the mission’s principal scientist, Dante Lauretta of the University of Arizona.There also are selfish reasons for getting to know Bennu better.The solar-orbiting asteroid, which swings by Earth every six years, could take aim at us late in the next century. NASA puts the odds of an impact at 1-in-2,700. The more scientists know about potentially menacing asteroids like Bennu, the safer Earth will be.When Osiris-Rex blasted off in 2016 on the more than 0 million mission, scientists envisioned sandy stretches at Bennu. So the spacecraft was designed to ingest small pebbles less than an inch (2 centimeters) across.Scientists were stunned to find massive rocks and chunky gravel all over the place when the spacecraft arrived in 2018. And pebbles were occasionally seen shooting off the asteroid, falling back and sometimes ricocheting off again in a cosmic game of ping-pong.With so much rough terrain, engineers scrambled to aim for a tighter spot than originally anticipated. Nightingale Crater, the prime target, appears to have the biggest abundance of fine grains, but boulders still abound, including one dubbed Mount Doom.Then COVID-19 struck.The team fell behind and bumped the second and final touch-and-go dress rehearsal for the spacecraft to August. That pushed the sample grab to October.“Returning a sample is hard,” said NASA’s science mission chief, Thomas Zurbuchen. “The COVID made it even harder.”Osiris-Rex has three bottles of nitrogen gas, which means it can touch down three times — no more.The spacecraft automatically will back away if it encounters unexpected hazards like big rocks that could cause it to tip over. And there’s a chance it will touch down safely, but fail to collect enough rubble.In either case, the spacecraft would return to orbit around Bennu and try again in January at another location.With the first try finally here, Lauretta is worried, nervous, excited “and confident we have done everything possible to ensure a safe sampling.”___The Associated Press Health and Science Department receives support from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s Department of Science Education.

After a slew of women came forward to accuse producer Harvey Weinstein and other notable figures in media of sexual harassment, CNN's Anthony Bourdain expressed regret for his participation in and validation of a culture he sees as similarly sexist: the restaurant industry.In an interview Thursday with Poppy Harlow on CNN's "New Day," Bourdain -- whose girlfriend, Asia Argento, is among Weinstein's accusers -- explained that he had "spent nearly 30 years in the restaurant industry, an industry and a culture that has been pervasively hostile to women." 565

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — If there's one constant about San Diego State this season, it's going to be a close game. And coach Rocky Long is ok with that.The Aztecs committed three big turnovers, had nine costly penalties and had to come back from a nine-point, fourth-quarter deficit to beat New Mexico 31-23 on Saturday."What we do is we keep hanging in there, we keep fighting and we keep playing," he said. "And all but twice we've won. I think we're 7-2 right now and that's as good as a whole bunch of teams and better than a whole bunch of teams in the country. So that's who we are and we're going to live with it."RELATED: Aztecs cruise to 6-2 victory over TrojansSan Diego State (7-2, 4-1 Mountain West) had played six straight games that were decided by seven points or less, and this one was close as well until Juwan Washington broke off a 50-yard touchdown run with 55 seconds left."That's who we are," Long said. "We've done it so many times now. We're not going to change out personality. You can't change a team's personality. We don't want to get penalties. We don't want to turn the ball over. I've got to live with it and it will probably cost us another game. Maybe not. Maybe not. I'm resolved to the fact so I'm not fighting it anymore."Despite the late hole, Long said he wasn't really concerned."I didn't feel comfortable, but I didn't think we were going to lose if that's your question," he said. "I felt like we were going to win. I felt like we were going to win the whole time. I was just waiting for the play to make it happen. "There was no one play, but the Aztecs scored the game's final 17 points to take the victory."Obviously when we you don't play very well and you win the game, you feel very fortunate," Long said. "But, guess what that's who we are. We're not going to change it. That's the way our whole season has been and that's who we are. So we'll just have to keep playing that way and see if we can pull it out at the end.'Washington had 95 yards rushing and two touchdowns on 11 carries and quarterback Christian Chapman rallied the Aztecs late in the victory, while a John Baron II field goal put San Diego State ahead for good at 24-23 with 2:56 to play.The trailed 23-14 after the Lobos (3-6, 1-4) only sustained touchdown drive of the game with 10 minutes remaining.But Chapman rallied his squad with a 75-yard scoring drive."In those situations, you don't want to get flustered," Chapman said. "As a quarterback you don't want to make stupid decisions."After the San Diego State defense held New Mexico on the next possession, Garrett Binkley returned the punt 35 yards to the Lobos 41.New Mexico was then called for its first penalty, roughing the passer, with 5:25 left, pushing the Aztecs to the Lobos 30. Three plays later, Baron hit the go-ahead 32-yard field goal.Following a San Diego State interception, Washington went 50 yards for a touchdown to seal it."I think we've been doing it all season," Chapman said. "It's been a fight. Every game has been a fight. They're always close. That's the theme for this team this year. We're fighters and we're going to grind to the end. That's how are games are going to be this season."The Lobos finished the first half with two complete passes, both of which went for negative yards. They didn't get into the positive yardage column until late in the third quarter and finished with 41 yards passing.New Mexico's 10 first-half points, however, were the direct result of two fumble recoveries by Adebayo Soremekun, including one that he returned 44 yards for a touchdown. The Lobos also had a short field in the third quarter thanks to a third fumble recovery, leading to another touchdown."I thought our defense, as beat up as we are, played pretty physical," New Mexico coach Bob Davie said. 3807

Across the United States, at least six children between the ages of 6 to 14 were shot and killed during the Fourth of July weekend.Communities in California, Washington D.C., Alabama, Illinois, and Georgia are reeling as they mourn the passing of Secoriea Turner, Royta De'Marco Giles, Davon McNeal, Natalia Wallace, a 14-year-old in Chicago, and a 6-year-old in San Francisco, who died by gun violence.Secoriea Turner, 8, Atlanta, GeorgiaAtlanta police say Secoriea Turner was in a car whose driver tried to get through an illegal barricade placed near Wendy's restaurant where Rayshard Brooks was shot and killed back in June when at least two people who opened fire on the car she was riding in.A ,000 reward has been offered in any information in her case. Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms said in a press conference that "enough is enough." 850
