Boeing envía dos astronautas al espacio en histórico lanzamiento

CABO CAÑAVERAL, Florida, EE.UU. (AP) — Boeing lanzó el miércoles por primera vez astronautas al espacio, sumándose a SpaceX como el segundo servicio de transporte para la NASA.

Dos pilotos de prueba de la NASA despegaron en la cápsula Starliner de Boeing rumbo a la Estación Espacial Internacional, los primeros en usar esa nueva aeronave.

Se espera que el viaje emprendido por Butch Willmore y Suni Williams tome 25 horas y concluya el jueves. Los astronautas pasarán poco más de una semana en el laboratorio en órbita antes de volver al Starliner para aterrizar el 14 de junio en un remoto lugar del desierto, en el oeste de Estados Unidos.

Con un retraso de varios años debido a fallas en el vehículo espacial, el debut de la tripulación del Starliner se produce mientras la empresa enfrenta problemas de seguridad no relacionados en su división de aviones.

Wilmore y Williams, capitanes jubilados de la Armada y antiguos residentes de la estación espacial, hicieron énfasis repetidamente, antes del lanzamiento, en que confiaban plenamente en la capacidad de Boeing de hacer las cosas bien en este vuelo de prueba. Paralizado por fallas en el software, el vuelo de prueba inicial no tripulado del Starliner en 2019 tuvo que repetirse antes de que la NASA permitiera el abordaje de sus astronautas. El nuevo intento en 2022 salió mucho mejor, pero después surgieron problemas con los paracaídas y se tuvo que retirar cinta inflamable de la cápsula.

El lanzamiento del miércoles fue el tercer intento con astronautas desde principios de mayo, y se produce después de un par de problemas relacionados con los cohetes, el más reciente ocurrido el fin de semana pasado. Una pequeña fuga de helio en el sistema de propulsión del vehículo también provocó retrasos, pero los directores decidieron que la fuga era manejable y no constituía un problema de seguridad.

“Sé que hemos recorrido un largo camino para estar aquí”, señaló Steve Stich, gerente del programa de tripulación comercial de la NASA antes del retraso del fin de semana.

Boeing fue contratado, junto con SpaceX de Elon Musk, hace una década para transportar astronautas de la NASA hacia la estación espacial y de regreso. La agencia espacial quería tener dos empresas competidoras para realizar el trabajo después del retiro del transbordador espacial, pagando 4.200 millones de dólares a Boeing y poco más de la mitad de esa cantidad a SpaceX, que reformó la cápsula que utilizaba para enviar suministros a la estación.

SpaceX puso astronautas en órbita en 2020, convirtiéndose en la primera empresa privada en lograr lo que únicamente tres países — Rusia, Estados Unidos y China— han conseguido. Ha llevado a nueve tripulaciones a la estación espacial para la NASA y a tres grupos privados para una empresa de Houston que alquila vuelos.

El despegue desde la Estación de la Fuerza Espacial de Cabo Cañaveral fue el 100º vuelo de un Atlas V del fabricante de cohetes United Launch Alliance. Fue el primer viaje con astronautas en un cohete Atlas desde la era de Mercury de John Glenn, hace 60 años; generalmente, el cohete pone en órbita satélites y lanza otros vehículos espaciales.

A pesar del récord perfecto del Atlas V, la presencia humana aumentó la tensión para las decenas de empleados de la NASA y de Boeing que se reunieron en Cabo Cañaveral y en el área de control de misiones en Houston.

El Starliner de Boeing y el Dragon de SpaceX están diseñados para ser totalmente autónomos y reutilizables. Ocasionalmente, Wilmore y Williams tomarán el control manual del Starliner en su camino a la estación espacial para verificar sus sistemas.

Si la misión va según lo esperado, la NASA alternará entre SpaceX y Boeing para fletar vuelos a partir del año próximo. El piloto suplente de este vuelo de prueba, Mike Fincke, abordará el Starliner en su próximo viaje.

“Cuando tenemos un nuevo vehículo espacial, es necesario aprender todo acerca de él, y esto ha sido un gran ejercicio”, dijo Fincke a los reporteros a finales de la semana pasada.

Gobernador dice que el correo falló en proceso primarista

El gobernador de Puerto Rico, Pedro Pierluisi, el correo postal “falló“ en el proceso del voto adelantado que se llevó a cabo en las pasadas semanas como parte de la contienda primarista del Partido Nuevo Progresista (PNP).

“Pero lo que veo es que el correo falló. Muchas papeletas no llegaron a su destino”, dijo Pierluisi Urrutia a preguntas de la prensa. “Por otro lado, veo que el proceso de contabilización del voto adelantado tomó más tiempo del que era de esperar”, añadió.

Pierluisi, quien ahora es el gobernador saliente tras ser derrotado por la comisionada residente, Jenniffer González, explicó que solicitó fondos adicionales para la Comisión Estatal de Elecciones (CEE) de cara a las elecciones generales.

“Ya impartí instrucciones al director ejecutivo de la Oficina de Gerencia y Presupuesto para que se asegure que en el presupuesto que someta a la Junta, si no lo atenderemos a nivel legislativo, la comisión tenga los recursos necesarios y particularmente Java tenga los recursos necesarios ya sea contratar personal adicional, como adquirir equipo tecnológico que pueda acelerar el proceso de contabilización de esos votos”, culminó.

Contrato de máquinas de escrutinio electrónico vence en julio

En el día de ayer, la comisionada electoral del PNP, Vanessa Santo Domingo, indicó en entrevista con Metro Puerto Rico que el contrato de arrendamiento de las máquinas de escrutinio electrónico tiene fecha de vencimiento para el próximo mes de julio y la CEE deberá contemplar si renueva el acuerdo o compra las máquinas, algo que indicó no está contemplado en el presupuesto de este año.

Exesposa de Hunter Biden podría testificar en su juicio

Los fiscales federales en el juicio por posesión de arma de fuego contra Hunter Biden han dedicado horas a mostrar pruebas ante el jurado sobre el problema con las drogas del acusado, buscando revelar, a través de sus propias palabras y escritura, la profundidad de su adicción para demostrar que seguía siendo un adicto cuando, afirman, mintió en un formulario para adquirir un arma de fuego.

La primera dama, Jill Biden, acudió al tribunal por tercer día para apoyar a su hijo, antes de viajar a Francia para reunirse con el presidente Joe Biden.

Se espera que la presentación de testimonios continúe el miércoles. Asimismo, se espera que Kathleen Buhle, exesposa de Hunter Biden, sea uno de los testigos. Estuvo casada con el hijo del presidente por cerca de 20 años. Tienen tres hijos y se divorciaron en 2006, cuando la infidelidad y el abuso de drogas de él fueron demasiado, según sus memorias, “If We Break” (Si rompemos), acerca de la disolución de su matrimonio.

Buhle es uno de los varios familiares y amigos de Biden que se espera que testifiquen en un juicio que ha destapado detalles de los errores y el uso de drogas de Hunter Biden, en un momento en que la elección presidencial de 2024 está cada vez más próxima, y a los aliados les preocupa el costo que tendrá para el presidente, quien está profundamente preocupado por la salud y la sobriedad de su único hijo vivo. Los fiscales afirman que el testimonio es necesario para mostrar el estado mental de Hunter Biden cuando adquirió el arma.

Hunter Biden está acusado de tres delitos graves derivados de la compra de un arma de fuego en octubre de 2018: mentir a un vendedor de armas con licencia federal, hacer una falsa declaración en la solicitud al decir que no usaba drogas y conservar ilegalmente el arma durante 11 días.

Eminem – Stronger Than I Was

We woke reasonably late following the feast and free flowing wine the night before. After gathering ourselves and our packs, we headed down to our homestay family’s small dining room for breakfast.

Refreshingly, what was expected of her was the same thing that was expected of Lara Stone: to take a beautiful picture.

We were making our way to the Rila Mountains, where we were visiting the Rila Monastery where we enjoyed scrambled eggs, toast, mekitsi, local jam and peppermint tea.

We wandered the site with other tourists

Yet strangely the place did not seem crowded. I’m not sure if it was the sheer size of the place, or whether the masses congregated in one area and didn’t venture far from the main church, but I didn’t feel overwhelmed by tourists in the monastery.

Headed over Lions Bridge and made our way to the Sofia Synagogue, then sheltered in the Central Market Hall until the recurrent (but short-lived) mid-afternoon rain passed.

Feeling refreshed after an espresso, we walked a short distance to the small but welcoming Banya Bashi Mosque, then descended into the ancient Serdica complex.

We were exhausted after a long day of travel, so we headed back to the hotel and crashed.

I had low expectations about Sofia as a city, but after the walking tour I absolutely loved the place. This was an easy city to navigate, and it was a beautiful city – despite its ugly, staunch and stolid communist-built surrounds. Sofia has a very average facade as you enter the city, but once you lose yourself in the old town area, everything changes.

Clothes can transform your mood and confidence. Fashion moves so quickly that, unless you have a strong point of view, you can lose integrity. I like to be real. I don’t like things to be staged or fussy. I think I’d go mad if I didn’t have a place to escape to. You have to stay true to your heritage, that’s what your brand is about.
