what's up sunshine hope you had an
awesome weekend I'm koi wire this is CNN
10 the best 10 minutes in news because
of you it's November 20th and we start
today with the perfect story for this
motivation Monday you know American
inventor Thomas Edison once said our
greatest weakness lies in giving up the
most certain way to succeed is always to
try just one more time and here's a good
example of one company that's not given
up spacex's Starship spacecraft sat a
top the most powerful rocket ever built
and it lifted off on Saturday morning
from bokach chica Texas but not
everything went according to plan the
deep space rocket Mission ended early
with an explosion and a loss of signal
several minutes after liftoff SpaceX the
company that made the 232t tall Rock
rocket and the spacecraft spent months
rebuilding them after a previous
explosive initial launch back in April
the root cause of the Starship Rockets
failure this time around wasn't
immediately clear SpaceX said in a test
like this success comes from what they
learn and they can learn how to build a
better rocket more quickly by flying and
occasionally exploding early prototypes
rather than only relying on ground
testing and computer modeling for more
on the launch in SpaceX is bigger goal
for Starship to carry up to 100 humans
to Mars here's CNN's Kristen
fiser engineers at SpaceX will spend the
next several days and weeks pouring over
all of this data trying to figure out
what exactly went wrong but this is what
SpaceX likes to do they like to push
their rockets and their spacecrafts all
the way to the point of failure because
that's how they learn they've done that
with all of their uh older successful
rockets and spacecrafts and now they're
trying to do it with Starship the
biggest most power powerful rocket to
ever fly and someday the ultimate goal
is for this rocket to allow and carry up
to 100 humans to the surface of Mars and
ultimately colonize Mars and make
Humanity multiplanetary that's the goal
but first SpaceX has to get this thing
up into orbit and the test flight on
Saturday was a success in that 33
engines did fire all of them the
Launchpad survived there was successful
stage separation between the booster and
the spacecraft on top and it did make it
up far past uh where it flew on its
first failed flight test back in April
it made it all the way up to the edge of
space but then something happened and
that's why this test flight was also a
failure there were two explosions both
the booster and the spacecraft exploded
after separating and the spacecraft if
all had gone according to plan was
supposed to make almost a complete lap
of planet Earth Earth and then splash
down in the Pacific Ocean that is what's
characterized as a mishap by the FAA
they are now investigating a mishap uh
with SpaceX it's an investigation that
SpaceX will lead um but it's now unclear
exactly how long that will take before
SpaceX is given the green light to fly
again but NASA administrator Bill Nelson
who needs the Starship spacecraft in
order to land NASA astronauts on the
surface of the Moon as part of its emis
program congratulated SpaceX yesterday
and said that Saturday's test flight was
a sign of real progress for our next
story let's go to New Delhi the capital
of India which was ranked the world's
most polluted city last week by the tech
company IQ air which tracks air quality
around the globe primary schools were
forced to close road traffic was
restricted and construction was put on
hold because of a dense smog over New
Delhi CNN's vetica suit has more what
you see around me is a thick dense layer
of pollution the air outside is so toxic
that even with a mask on I can taste it
if you're out for too long the eyes
begin to burn and the throat hurts
around this time every year this smoke
shrouds India's capital city obscuring
the skyline and putting more than 20
million people at risk on a bad day new
delhi's pollution levels are nearly 80
times the limit recommended by the World
Health organization so why is Delhi one
of the most polluted cities in the world
one major factor is crop burning which
can be better understood from above
satellite images shared by NASA show
thousands of fires set by Farmers over
the last few weeks in delhi's
neighboring states they do this annually
to clear the fields after harvest for
the next year's crops dust from roads
and construction sites vehicle emissions
and industrial pollution are also major
contributors to delhi's stock air as
winter approaches the cold air acts as a
blanket covering the ground trapping air
pollutants and as for the geography
Delhi is a landlocked City limiting
options to flash out toed air with
multiple causes and no one solution this
pollution crisis will not be easy to
solve did you know that among jellyfish
there is one species that may be
immortal when threatened sick or old
these jellyfish start to create younger
versions of themselves that will grow up
into an adult identical version I'm a
little bit jellus how about you well a
jellyfish boom is now happening in the
UK and Ireland according to the marine
conservation Society we asked its data
expert Agnes Jackson to explain the why
there's a jellyfish boom in the UK and
Ireland according to a new report the
marine conservation Society has revealed
a 32% increase in jellyfish sightings
compared to last year the Charity's
annual report is based on data sent in
by the public those sightings are then
analyzed for interesting patterns such
as changes in species or long-term
trends in population sizes so what's
behind the rise of jellyfish sightings
as water's warm in springtime jellyfish
start to grow and reproduce and when the
conditions are really good when the
water is warm when there's lots of food
available that reproduction can happen
really very very quickly under those
conditions the numbers of jellyfish at
sea
can get to be very large if that
coincides with storms or onshore winds
these Blooms of jellyfish are blown in
towards the coast where they accumulate
and appear even more dense if the public
happen to be there at that time that's
when there are more and more
observations this year ocean
temperatures have reached record levels
with some parts experiencing intense and
unprecedented heat waves but experts say
we can't solely attribute the jellyfish
boom to climate change whether we can
say the large numbers this year are a
consequence of climatic change I
wouldn't want to do that simply because
there are so many other variables that
contribute to that large reproduction if
we see increasing temperatures into the
future it wouldn't be surprising if the
numbers of jellyfish increased as a
consequence 10-second trivia for US
currency who is pictured on the $50 bill
ulyses srant Benjamin Franklin Andrew
Jackson or Alexander
Hamilton
answer is the 18th President of the
United States Ulisses S Grant that's the
$50
dude the United States government
printed a record number of $50 bills
last year did you know and it has
nothing to do with inflation when the
money supply grows and the currency
begins losing its purchasing power what
happened with this somewhat unpopular
denomination is the Federal Reserve
discovered that during the pandemic
people started hoarding cash and and
it's easier to squirrel away bigger
bills so the FED ordered a big uptick in
50s and printed more than 750 million of
them that was the highest total in 40
years before the pandemic the $50 bill
had been one of the rarest bills perhaps
one reason there's an old Superstition
that because president ulyses S Grant is
on the face of this denomination and he
notoriously went bankrupt perhaps the
bills are jinx but some other reasons
people might avoid them are because
these bills sometimes get confused with
$5 bills and a lot of stores don't even
accept bills larger than a
[Applause]
20 for today's story getting a 10 out of
10 Australian Surfer Laura enover
breaking a world record riding a giant
wave you got to check this out the wave
she faced was over 43 feet or 13 M high
no other female surfer had ever even
paddled into a wave that large Laura's
beat has now been certified by Guinness
World Records and the world surf League
that's a swell achievement well done
that's it for the first of our two shows
this week after tomorrow's show we're
going to take a small break for
Thanksgiving and be right back here with
you next week we had so many inspiring
stories about resilience today we hope
they lifted you up up up it is shout out
time now shout out to mil Pond school in
Westboro Massachusetts keep shining
superstars and shout out to Rooftop
Middle School in San Francisco
California rise up see you tomorrow
lovely people I'm KY wire and we are CNN
