WEBVTT

00:00:10.516 --> 00:00:12.124
How are you, sunshine?  I am

00:00:12.171 --> 00:00:13.747
Koy Waer.  This is CNN 10, and here's

00:00:13.780 --> 00:00:14.999
what to remember

00:00:15.032 --> 00:00:15.922
today.  You don't

00:00:15.943 --> 00:00:16.762
have to know everything

00:00:16.762 --> 00:00:17.539
, just stay

00:00:17.959 --> 00:00:18.589
curious enough to

00:00:18.610 --> 00:00:19.219
constantly

00:00:19.240 --> 00:00:20.137
learn something.  Let's get

00:00:20.167 --> 00:00:21.473
smarter.  10 minutes

00:00:21.473 --> 00:00:22.359
, big world,

00:00:22.393 --> 00:00:23.246
let's rise.

00:00:23.346 --> 00:00:24.424
Let's start with the Northeast

00:00:24.453 --> 00:00:25.276
, where an early

00:00:25.305 --> 00:00:26.270
seasonal nor'easter

00:00:26.298 --> 00:00:27.093
spent the weekend

00:00:27.122 --> 00:00:28.059
reminding everyone that

00:00:28.087 --> 00:00:29.052
Mother Nature doesn't

00:00:29.081 --> 00:00:30.160
need an invitation.

00:00:30.260 --> 00:00:31.040
Strong winds,

00:00:31.072 --> 00:00:31.917
heavy rains,

00:00:31.950 --> 00:00:33.055
coastal flooding,

00:00:33.088 --> 00:00:34.225
huge waves

00:00:34.258 --> 00:00:35.330
crashing across parts of

00:00:35.363 --> 00:00:36.479
the region.  At one

00:00:36.514 --> 00:00:37.606
point, over 100,000

00:00:37.642 --> 00:00:38.346
customers

00:00:38.382 --> 00:00:39.333
were left without

00:00:39.368 --> 00:00:40.887
electricity.  And in New

00:00:40.887 --> 00:00:41.847
York,

00:00:41.879 --> 00:00:43.031
streets and

00:00:43.063 --> 00:00:44.337
subway stations were flooded again.  Conditions are

00:00:44.371 --> 00:00:45.602
now improving

00:00:45.636 --> 00:00:46.559
as the storm

00:00:46.593 --> 00:00:47.723
weakens.  Here is your

00:00:47.758 --> 00:00:48.586
portion of knowledge.    A

00:00:48.686 --> 00:00:49.870
nor'easter is named not

00:00:49.901 --> 00:00:50.539
for where

00:00:50.569 --> 00:00:51.724
the storm is moving, but for

00:00:51.754 --> 00:00:52.696
where

00:00:52.726 --> 00:00:53.668
its strongest

00:00:53.698 --> 00:00:54.725
winds blow from.  Such storms

00:00:54.754 --> 00:00:55.855
usually rotate

00:00:55.883 --> 00:00:56.871
counterclockwise

00:00:56.899 --> 00:00:57.859
, bringing

00:00:57.888 --> 00:00:58.678
powerful winds from the

00:00:58.706 --> 00:00:59.582
northeast

00:00:59.610 --> 00:01:00.728
along the coast.  In the

00:01:00.757 --> 00:01:01.877
case of New York,

00:01:01.906 --> 00:01:02.825
much of the

00:01:02.854 --> 00:01:03.802
city's drainage

00:01:03.831 --> 00:01:04.951
infrastructure has been around for

00:01:04.980 --> 00:01:05.956
about a century and

00:01:05.985 --> 00:01:07.019
was built for a

00:01:07.048 --> 00:01:07.766
very different kind of

00:01:07.795 --> 00:01:08.656
city and a

00:01:08.685 --> 00:01:09.490
different climate.

00:01:09.590 --> 00:01:10.754
CNN's Gloria Pazmino

00:01:10.789 --> 00:01:11.953
takes us underground

00:01:11.988 --> 00:01:13.118
to see why a

00:01:13.153 --> 00:01:14.489
storm above the city could

00:01:14.523 --> 00:01:15.756
be a problem below

00:01:15.791 --> 00:01:16.031
.

00:01:16.950 --> 00:01:18.005
This has become a common

00:01:18.041 --> 00:01:19.413
sight in New York

00:01:19.413 --> 00:01:21.706
.  Stuck

00:01:21.739 --> 00:01:22.433
cars,

00:01:22.467 --> 00:01:23.690
waterfalls inside

00:01:23.723 --> 00:01:24.716
subway stations, and

00:01:24.749 --> 00:01:25.972
pedestrians wandering through

00:01:26.006 --> 00:01:27.295
flooded streets

00:01:27.295 --> 00:01:30.414
.  In August, the Big

00:01:30.450 --> 00:01:31.873
Apple received more than

00:01:31.909 --> 00:01:33.113
8 inches of precipitation, a

00:01:33.150 --> 00:01:34.317
record for the

00:01:34.354 --> 00:01:35.376
past 5 years.

00:01:35.476 --> 00:01:36.897
Why is this happening?

00:01:36.997 --> 00:01:38.935
Yes.  It's been a pretty

00:01:38.969 --> 00:01:41.298
crazy summer.  We

00:01:41.333 --> 00:01:42.047
had to

00:01:42.083 --> 00:01:43.367
activate our

00:01:43.403 --> 00:01:44.473
flash

00:01:44.509 --> 00:01:45.722
flood plan almost 30% more

00:01:45.722 --> 00:01:46.971
often this summer

00:01:47.007 --> 00:01:48.399
than any other

00:01:48.434 --> 00:01:50.974
year.  And we believe the

00:01:51.010 --> 00:01:52.349
reason is

00:01:52.385 --> 00:01:54.031
climate change.  It's about the

00:01:54.065 --> 00:01:55.356
intensity of the downpour.    A

00:01:56.486 --> 00:01:57.622
huge amount of

00:01:57.653 --> 00:01:58.574
rain in a short

00:01:58.605 --> 00:01:59.496
period of time, and

00:02:00.448 --> 00:02:01.155
America's largest city is barely

00:02:01.186 --> 00:02:02.488
coping.  The city's

00:02:02.524 --> 00:02:03.466
sewer

00:02:03.503 --> 00:02:04.843
system is designed

00:02:04.879 --> 00:02:05.712
to handle

00:02:05.748 --> 00:02:07.161
up to 1.75 inches of

00:02:07.198 --> 00:02:08.321
rainfall per hour.

00:02:08.421 --> 00:02:09.735
If you consider that

00:02:09.778 --> 00:02:11.135
New York's system

00:02:11.177 --> 00:02:12.576
was built over 100

00:02:12.619 --> 00:02:14.230
years ago, we're seeing

00:02:14.273 --> 00:02:15.333
storms with 2, 2.5, 3

00:02:15.375 --> 00:02:16.924
inches of rainfall.  So

00:02:16.959 --> 00:02:17.618
it really

00:02:17.653 --> 00:02:19.007
overloads the system

00:02:19.007 --> 00:02:19.042
.

00:02:19.356 --> 00:02:20.364
This is madness.

00:02:21.331 --> 00:02:22.446
This means that water

00:02:22.479 --> 00:02:23.431
rises on the

00:02:23.464 --> 00:02:24.021
streets and

00:02:24.054 --> 00:02:25.269
descends into the subway.

00:02:27.487 --> 00:02:28.850
Annual

00:02:28.897 --> 00:02:30.450
precipitation in New York City

00:02:30.497 --> 00:02:32.331
has increased by about 20

00:02:32.331 --> 00:02:33.866
% since 1960.  And as

00:02:33.897 --> 00:02:35.105
the planet warms

00:02:35.105 --> 00:02:36.189
, the atmosphere holds

00:02:36.220 --> 00:02:37.025
more moisture,

00:02:37.056 --> 00:02:38.263
fueling heavier

00:02:38.294 --> 00:02:39.255
and more frequent downpours.

00:02:40.044 --> 00:02:40.904
Five years

00:02:40.932 --> 00:02:41.626
after the

00:02:41.654 --> 00:02:42.709
remnants of Hurricane Ida

00:02:42.737 --> 00:02:43.542
dumped record

00:02:43.570 --> 00:02:44.458
amounts of rainfall,

00:02:44.486 --> 00:02:45.541
flooding basements and

00:02:45.569 --> 00:02:46.624
killing more than a dozen

00:02:46.652 --> 00:02:47.262
people, some

00:02:47.290 --> 00:02:48.123
New Yorkers are still

00:02:48.151 --> 00:02:48.873
dealing with

00:02:48.900 --> 00:02:49.956
persistent flooding.

00:02:50.056 --> 00:02:51.224
I thought, "Oh, this is just a

00:02:51.256 --> 00:02:52.456
great city, you know, a

00:02:52.487 --> 00:02:53.638
concrete jungle."

00:02:53.674 --> 00:02:55.074
We don't have floods here

00:02:55.074 --> 00:02:55.110
.

00:02:55.284 --> 00:02:56.188
We try to

00:02:56.222 --> 00:02:57.462
make sure everything we

00:02:57.495 --> 00:02:58.702
need is picked up off

00:02:58.735 --> 00:02:59.707
the floor and we also

00:02:59.741 --> 00:03:00.780
have supplies to

00:03:00.813 --> 00:03:02.120
barricade the door

00:03:02.120 --> 00:03:02.154
.

00:03:02.378 --> 00:03:03.400
After Ida, the city

00:03:03.430 --> 00:03:04.604
invested billions

00:03:04.634 --> 00:03:05.777
in flood protection,

00:03:05.807 --> 00:03:06.950
upgraded sewers,

00:03:06.980 --> 00:03:07.973
expanded

00:03:08.003 --> 00:03:08.966
stormwater systems, and

00:03:08.996 --> 00:03:09.989
improved

00:03:10.019 --> 00:03:10.621
emergency

00:03:10.651 --> 00:03:11.524
notification systems.  But

00:03:11.547 --> 00:03:12.417
officials say it

00:03:14.533 --> 00:03:15.074
could

00:03:15.098 --> 00:03:15.615
take

00:03:15.639 --> 00:03:16.180
decades to fully address the city's flood risk.

00:03:16.280 --> 00:03:17.194
You are doing a good

00:03:17.227 --> 00:03:17.652
deed.

00:03:17.959 --> 00:03:18.949
In a race against time,

00:03:18.979 --> 00:03:19.850
the city continues to

00:03:19.880 --> 00:03:20.661
upgrade its

00:03:21.562 --> 00:03:22.523
stormwater infrastructure and

00:03:23.153 --> 00:03:24.295
coastal flood protection.

00:03:24.395 --> 00:03:25.719
New York, we are preparing

00:03:25.754 --> 00:03:27.044
our coastlines.

00:03:27.144 --> 00:03:28.171
This $43 million investment

00:03:29.265 --> 00:03:29.795
will help

00:03:29.828 --> 00:03:31.121
control more than 100

00:03:31.154 --> 00:03:32.314
locks along South

00:03:32.314 --> 00:03:33.308
Street in Lower

00:03:33.341 --> 00:03:34.038
Manhattan.

00:03:34.327 --> 00:03:35.402
When a

00:03:35.437 --> 00:03:36.720
major storm approaches, the locks

00:03:36.755 --> 00:03:37.831
will rise,

00:03:37.865 --> 00:03:38.941
creating a single

00:03:38.975 --> 00:03:40.086
barrier that holds back

00:03:40.120 --> 00:03:40.433
the water.    There

00:03:41.238 --> 00:03:42.091
is also green

00:03:42.124 --> 00:03:43.141
infrastructure—

00:03:43.141 --> 00:03:44.389
thousands of rain gardens

00:03:44.422 --> 00:03:45.538
to collect

00:03:45.571 --> 00:03:47.802
stormwater.  And massive

00:03:47.834 --> 00:03:49.015
underground tanks

00:03:49.047 --> 00:03:49.845
to hold

00:03:49.877 --> 00:03:50.930
millions of gallons of

00:03:50.962 --> 00:03:52.047
stormwater and

00:03:52.079 --> 00:03:53.196
sewage during heavy

00:03:53.228 --> 00:03:53.580
rains.

00:03:54.276 --> 00:03:55.116
This helps

00:03:55.152 --> 00:03:56.322
retain water.

00:03:56.775 --> 00:03:57.397
As the city

00:03:57.429 --> 00:03:58.641
struggles to make

00:03:58.673 --> 00:03:59.819
progress,

00:03:59.852 --> 00:04:00.736
more

00:04:00.769 --> 00:04:01.685
extreme

00:04:01.718 --> 00:04:02.144
weather is likely to come.

00:04:02.948 --> 00:04:03.748
So, Atlanta,

00:04:03.780 --> 00:04:04.612
get ready for a "

00:04:04.612 --> 00:04:05.861
bamboo" boom, because

00:04:05.893 --> 00:04:06.853
after an absence of nearly two

00:04:06.885 --> 00:04:07.942
years,

00:04:07.974 --> 00:04:08.710
giant pandas

00:04:08.742 --> 00:04:09.479
are back.

00:04:09.579 --> 00:04:11.135
Meet: Ping Ping and

00:04:11.176 --> 00:04:12.442
Fu Shuang.  This couple

00:04:12.483 --> 00:04:13.813
arrived from China

00:04:13.853 --> 00:04:15.344
aboard—and I promise, that's the

00:04:15.384 --> 00:04:16.875
real name—"FedEx

00:04:16.916 --> 00:04:18.034
Panda Express."  The two

00:04:18.062 --> 00:04:19.161
six-year-old bear cubs

00:04:19.190 --> 00:04:20.261
traveled with a load of

00:04:20.289 --> 00:04:20.824
bamboo and

00:04:20.853 --> 00:04:21.783
treats, and they

00:04:21.811 --> 00:04:22.741
will spend about a

00:04:22.769 --> 00:04:23.812
month in quarantine

00:04:23.840 --> 00:04:24.939
before meeting

00:04:24.968 --> 00:04:25.700
visitors at

00:04:25.729 --> 00:04:26.631
Zoo Atlanta.

00:04:26.731 --> 00:04:27.562
Chinese President Xi

00:04:27.596 --> 00:04:28.739
Jinping announced the

00:04:28.773 --> 00:04:29.916
loan during

00:04:29.951 --> 00:04:31.163
his recent

00:04:31.197 --> 00:04:32.063
visit to the United States,

00:04:32.098 --> 00:04:33.171
calling the giant

00:04:33.206 --> 00:04:34.210
pandas ambassadors of

00:04:34.244 --> 00:04:35.214
friendship.  And now

00:04:35.246 --> 00:04:36.505
Atlanta becomes one of

00:04:36.538 --> 00:04:37.764
only three zoos in

00:04:37.796 --> 00:04:39.055
the U.S. to house giant pandas

00:04:39.055 --> 00:04:39.877
.  I would continue to

00:04:39.905 --> 00:04:40.910
joke about the panda,

00:04:40.939 --> 00:04:41.513
but I don't want to

00:04:41.542 --> 00:04:42.202
drag out the

00:04:42.231 --> 00:04:43.150
main news.

00:04:43.250 --> 00:04:44.219
Next is a report by

00:04:44.255 --> 00:04:45.261
David Culver.

00:04:45.588 --> 00:04:46.936
It may have looked

00:04:46.970 --> 00:04:48.077
like a hasty night

00:04:48.111 --> 00:04:48.941
operation, but

00:04:48.976 --> 00:04:50.151
the arrival of this pair of

00:04:50.186 --> 00:04:50.981
giant pandas

00:04:51.016 --> 00:04:52.330
had been months in the making.

00:04:52.985 --> 00:04:53.978
Officially, they are

00:04:54.013 --> 00:04:55.444
ambassadors of friendship.  This is a

00:04:55.475 --> 00:04:56.567
phrase commonly

00:04:56.598 --> 00:04:57.472
used by

00:04:57.503 --> 00:04:58.498
both governments.  But

00:04:58.522 --> 00:04:59.326
neither side is

00:04:59.350 --> 00:05:00.301
inclined to emphasize that

00:05:00.325 --> 00:05:01.178
these pandas

00:05:01.202 --> 00:05:02.153
are in debt.

00:05:02.253 --> 00:05:03.113
China owns them,

00:05:03.137 --> 00:05:03.997
any cubs

00:05:04.022 --> 00:05:04.661
born here

00:05:04.685 --> 00:05:05.644
eventually return

00:05:05.668 --> 00:05:06.519
back.  And zoos

00:05:06.544 --> 00:05:07.278
pay about a

00:05:07.303 --> 00:05:08.214
million dollars a

00:05:08.239 --> 00:05:09.425
year.  Of course, part of

00:05:09.458 --> 00:05:10.730
this is science.  They

00:05:10.758 --> 00:05:11.480
help with

00:05:11.509 --> 00:05:12.520
nature conservation, and that's what

00:05:13.300 --> 00:05:14.310
some of the money goes towards, but

00:05:14.339 --> 00:05:15.206
there's also politics involved.

00:05:15.444 --> 00:05:16.404
Pandas are one of the

00:05:16.438 --> 00:05:17.730
few things

00:05:17.763 --> 00:05:18.889
China can actually

00:05:18.923 --> 00:05:19.685
introduce into

00:05:19.718 --> 00:05:20.977
strained relations,

00:05:21.010 --> 00:05:21.805
and it usually

00:05:21.838 --> 00:05:22.865
elicits a warmer

00:05:22.899 --> 00:05:24.709
response.  I have seen

00:05:24.743 --> 00:05:25.921
people on both sides of

00:05:25.955 --> 00:05:27.234
the Pacific stand

00:05:27.268 --> 00:05:27.908
before these

00:05:27.941 --> 00:05:29.221
creatures, you look

00:05:29.254 --> 00:05:30.298
at their faces and

00:05:30.332 --> 00:05:30.938
feel a

00:05:30.971 --> 00:05:32.217
leisurelyness, a silence, a

00:05:32.251 --> 00:05:34.054
peace.  And in

00:05:34.088 --> 00:05:35.405
relationships that are often

00:05:35.439 --> 00:05:36.249
defined

00:05:36.283 --> 00:05:37.262
by competition and

00:05:37.296 --> 00:05:38.140
tension,

00:05:38.174 --> 00:05:39.153
perhaps that is what

00:05:39.187 --> 00:05:39.930
remains

00:05:39.963 --> 00:05:43.182
relevant.  What

00:05:43.217 --> 00:05:44.354
attracts people to

00:05:44.389 --> 00:05:45.419
tranquility, perhaps

00:05:45.455 --> 00:05:47.778
even peace.  Which

00:05:47.814 --> 00:05:48.674
today is even

00:05:48.710 --> 00:05:50.109
rarer than

00:05:50.145 --> 00:05:51.006
giant pandas themselves.

00:05:52.262 --> 00:05:53.637
Time for the column "Did

00:05:53.673 --> 00:05:55.086
you know that...?"  Although

00:05:55.119 --> 00:05:56.406
giant pandas eat

00:05:56.439 --> 00:05:57.660
huge amounts of

00:05:57.693 --> 00:05:58.914
bamboo, they can

00:05:58.947 --> 00:06:00.168
only digest

00:06:00.201 --> 00:06:01.389
about 17% of it.

00:06:01.602 --> 00:06:02.624
This is because, despite

00:06:02.657 --> 00:06:03.515
evolving towards

00:06:03.548 --> 00:06:04.538
herbivory, they

00:06:04.571 --> 00:06:05.659
have retained the short

00:06:05.692 --> 00:06:06.550
digestive tract

00:06:06.583 --> 00:06:07.837
characteristic of carnivores.

00:06:08.453 --> 00:06:09.488
This, combined with a

00:06:09.522 --> 00:06:10.178
high-

00:06:10.212 --> 00:06:11.385
fiber diet,

00:06:11.420 --> 00:06:12.593
means pandas are

00:06:12.593 --> 00:06:13.352
extraordinary

00:06:14.042 --> 00:06:14.905
excrement producers.    An

00:06:15.673 --> 00:06:16.781
adult panda can

00:06:16.814 --> 00:06:18.053
defecate up to 100

00:06:18.086 --> 00:06:18.901
times a day,

00:06:18.933 --> 00:06:20.075
producing dozens of

00:06:20.107 --> 00:06:21.841
pounds of waste.  This is

00:06:21.882 --> 00:06:23.583
"Kung Fu Panda".  And that's

00:06:23.620 --> 00:06:24.693
not their only

00:06:24.730 --> 00:06:25.729
strange toilet

00:06:25.766 --> 00:06:27.281
habit.  Just imagine

00:06:27.281 --> 00:06:28.568
, pandas are also known

00:06:28.603 --> 00:06:29.676
for urinating while

00:06:29.711 --> 00:06:30.927
standing on their front

00:06:30.962 --> 00:06:32.504
legs.  Yes, that's true.

00:06:32.604 --> 00:06:33.682
Scientists say

00:06:33.713 --> 00:06:34.823
this unusual act

00:06:34.854 --> 00:06:36.025
is actually a

00:06:36.056 --> 00:06:37.104
territory marking technique.

00:06:37.204 --> 00:06:38.276
The higher the mark,

00:06:38.308 --> 00:06:39.531
the bigger the panda.  Don't

00:06:39.560 --> 00:06:40.196
try

00:06:40.225 --> 00:06:41.237
to repeat this at home.

00:06:41.337 --> 00:06:42.499
Quite educational, and

00:06:42.529 --> 00:06:43.602
teachers, I apologize

00:06:43.632 --> 00:06:44.586
for any chaos

00:06:45.212 --> 00:06:45.957
this

00:06:45.987 --> 00:06:47.031
toilet talk may have caused.

00:06:49.069 --> 00:06:49.909
Next: sports and

00:06:49.946 --> 00:06:51.335
politics collide.

00:06:51.435 --> 00:06:52.482
Ireland defeated

00:06:52.511 --> 00:06:53.618
Israel in the UEFA Nations League

00:06:53.648 --> 00:06:54.695
on Sunday after

00:06:55.563 --> 00:06:56.550
Ireland players argued for hours about

00:06:56.580 --> 00:06:57.747
whether to

00:06:57.777 --> 00:06:58.913
even play.  The match

00:06:58.945 --> 00:06:59.623
faced

00:06:59.656 --> 00:07:00.883
calls for a boycott

00:07:00.915 --> 00:07:01.884
in Ireland due to

00:07:02.756 --> 00:07:03.628
Israel's military action in Gaza.

00:07:03.755 --> 00:07:04.716
Ireland's players

00:07:04.749 --> 00:07:05.744
came out wearing black

00:07:05.777 --> 00:07:06.872
armbands, which

00:07:06.905 --> 00:07:08.032
the federation said

00:07:08.065 --> 00:07:09.027
honored all those who

00:07:09.060 --> 00:07:10.354
died in the conflict.

00:07:11.503 --> 00:07:12.615
Ireland's reserve goalkeeper decided not to

00:07:12.646 --> 00:07:13.387
play at all,

00:07:13.418 --> 00:07:14.499
saying he felt it was

00:07:14.530 --> 00:07:15.672
wrong to participate

00:07:15.703 --> 00:07:16.537
because of the killings of

00:07:16.568 --> 00:07:18.074
innocent people.  He

00:07:18.106 --> 00:07:19.225
also stressed that

00:07:19.257 --> 00:07:20.439
his decision was not

00:07:20.471 --> 00:07:21.461
directed against

00:07:21.493 --> 00:07:22.292
Israelis or the

00:07:22.324 --> 00:07:23.475
Jewish community.    The

00:07:25.121 --> 00:07:26.196
Israel Football Association welcomed

00:07:26.228 --> 00:07:27.238
Ireland's decision

00:07:27.270 --> 00:07:28.378
to play, saying

00:07:28.410 --> 00:07:29.452
football and politics

00:07:29.485 --> 00:07:30.495
should be kept

00:07:30.527 --> 00:07:31.633
separate.  The

00:07:31.665 --> 00:07:32.894
Irish Football Federation says

00:07:32.927 --> 00:07:33.994
its players also

00:07:34.027 --> 00:07:35.191
intend to make a

00:07:35.224 --> 00:07:36.421
significant charitable

00:07:36.453 --> 00:07:37.359
contribution from their

00:07:37.391 --> 00:07:38.071
earnings.

00:07:38.456 --> 00:07:39.924
Tick-tock, 10 seconds per

00:07:39.966 --> 00:07:41.448
trinket.  Why do some

00:07:41.478 --> 00:07:42.618
launch pads

00:07:42.649 --> 00:07:43.542
pour hundreds of

00:07:43.572 --> 00:07:44.619
thousands of gallons of water

00:07:44.650 --> 00:07:45.666
under a rocket during

00:07:45.697 --> 00:07:46.980
takeoff?  To create

00:07:47.014 --> 00:07:48.240
steam for extra

00:07:48.274 --> 00:07:49.568
thrust, to suppress sound, to

00:07:49.602 --> 00:07:50.555
flush fuel, or

00:07:50.589 --> 00:07:51.202
to cool

00:07:51.236 --> 00:07:54.292
astronauts?  If you

00:07:54.326 --> 00:07:55.486
said "mute the

00:07:55.519 --> 00:07:56.480
sound," you're just

00:07:56.514 --> 00:07:57.693
space.  Rocket launches

00:07:57.719 --> 00:07:58.575
can create

00:07:58.601 --> 00:07:59.535
sound waves of such

00:07:59.561 --> 00:08:00.547
force that they

00:08:00.573 --> 00:08:01.377
can actually damage

00:08:01.403 --> 00:08:02.337
the rocket and the launch

00:08:02.363 --> 00:08:03.147
pad.  So

00:08:03.179 --> 00:08:04.103
massive

00:08:04.135 --> 00:08:05.059
water flow systems

00:08:05.090 --> 00:08:06.206
absorb some of

00:08:06.238 --> 00:08:07.162
this acoustic

00:08:07.194 --> 00:08:08.248
energy.  History

00:08:08.282 --> 00:08:09.269
was made yesterday

00:08:09.303 --> 00:08:10.661
morning in Texas.

00:08:10.694 --> 00:08:12.012
SpaceX's Starship, the most powerful

00:08:12.045 --> 00:08:13.126
rocket system

00:08:13.160 --> 00:08:13.869
ever

00:08:13.903 --> 00:08:14.983
built, has

00:08:15.017 --> 00:08:16.030
entered

00:08:16.064 --> 00:08:17.528
Earth's orbit for the first time.  Starship launched

00:08:17.565 --> 00:08:18.888
from Starbase in Texas on

00:08:18.924 --> 00:08:19.843
its 14th

00:08:19.880 --> 00:08:20.982
test

00:08:21.019 --> 00:08:22.274
flight.  One engine

00:08:22.303 --> 00:08:23.222
shut down during

00:08:23.251 --> 00:08:23.883
ascent, but the

00:08:23.911 --> 00:08:24.917
spacecraft

00:08:24.945 --> 00:08:25.807
still successfully

00:08:25.836 --> 00:08:26.830
reached orbit.  And this

00:08:26.860 --> 00:08:27.797
mission is a significant

00:08:27.826 --> 00:08:28.441
step forward

00:08:28.470 --> 00:08:29.085
compared to

00:08:29.114 --> 00:08:29.758
previous

00:08:29.787 --> 00:08:30.637
challenges.

00:08:30.737 --> 00:08:31.616
The rocket successfully

00:08:31.648 --> 00:08:32.886
deployed 26 operational

00:08:32.918 --> 00:08:34.156
Starlink satellites, which

00:08:34.188 --> 00:08:35.263
they say

00:08:35.295 --> 00:08:36.500
will improve

00:08:36.533 --> 00:08:37.705
network capacity and

00:08:37.738 --> 00:08:38.943
internet speeds

00:08:38.975 --> 00:08:39.985
for

00:08:40.017 --> 00:08:41.190
Starlink users around the world.

00:08:41.290 --> 00:08:41.942
SpaceX

00:08:41.970 --> 00:08:42.962
decided to cut

00:08:42.991 --> 00:08:43.983
this test

00:08:44.011 --> 00:08:44.919
flight short, returning

00:08:44.947 --> 00:08:45.542
Starship home after

00:08:45.571 --> 00:08:46.450
about 3

00:08:46.478 --> 00:08:47.244
hours instead of the

00:08:47.272 --> 00:08:48.123
planned 10-

00:08:48.123 --> 00:08:49.087
hour flight.

00:08:49.187 --> 00:08:50.036
Before successfully

00:08:50.067 --> 00:08:50.917
splashing down in the

00:08:50.948 --> 00:08:51.735
Pacific Ocean, the

00:08:51.766 --> 00:08:52.868
craft caused a

00:08:52.899 --> 00:08:53.937
huge

00:08:53.969 --> 00:08:55.196
fireball and landed less

00:08:55.227 --> 00:08:56.360
softly than on its

00:08:56.392 --> 00:08:57.524
previous mission in

00:08:57.556 --> 00:08:58.374
July, but it

00:08:58.405 --> 00:08:59.538
appears to have remained

00:08:59.569 --> 00:09:00.671
at least partially

00:09:00.702 --> 00:09:01.709
intact on the surface of the

00:09:01.740 --> 00:09:07.749
water.  Today's

00:09:07.783 --> 00:09:09.077
story, which gets a 10

00:09:09.111 --> 00:09:10.133
out of 10, invites us

00:09:10.167 --> 00:09:11.495
to try something that

00:09:11.529 --> 00:09:12.619
might seem

00:09:12.653 --> 00:09:13.266
completely

00:09:13.300 --> 00:09:14.084
crazy in 2026.

00:09:14.184 --> 00:09:15.876
Put down the phone.  At

00:09:15.910 --> 00:09:16.584
Texas

00:09:16.618 --> 00:09:17.664
A&M University in

00:09:17.698 --> 00:09:18.946
Central Texas,

00:09:18.980 --> 00:09:20.161
professors Christine

00:09:20.194 --> 00:09:21.274
Alvarez Jones and

00:09:21.308 --> 00:09:22.590
Amber Denay created the

00:09:22.624 --> 00:09:23.399
“

00:09:23.399 --> 00:09:24.614
Analog Living” initiative,

00:09:24.648 --> 00:09:25.964
inviting students

00:09:25.997 --> 00:09:27.313
to step away from their screens and

00:09:27.347 --> 00:09:28.123
do something

00:09:28.156 --> 00:09:29.292
for themselves.  One of the

00:09:29.323 --> 00:09:30.507
workshops is

00:09:30.537 --> 00:09:31.569
bookbinding, the old-fashioned

00:09:31.599 --> 00:09:32.662
art of assembling

00:09:32.692 --> 00:09:33.725
individual pages into

00:09:33.755 --> 00:09:34.673
a cover.  For

00:09:34.703 --> 00:09:35.633
some students,

00:09:35.663 --> 00:09:36.533
disconnecting from

00:09:36.563 --> 00:09:37.733
the screen is exactly what

00:09:37.763 --> 00:09:38.693
they needed.

00:09:38.793 --> 00:09:40.015
Realizing that there

00:09:40.046 --> 00:09:40.799
is a difference between

00:09:40.830 --> 00:09:42.021
consuming something and

00:09:42.053 --> 00:09:43.119
creating something.

00:09:43.405 --> 00:09:44.076
I want to be

00:09:44.110 --> 00:09:45.353
able to show

00:09:45.387 --> 00:09:46.462
it to my friends, my family, and

00:09:46.495 --> 00:09:47.805
say, look what I

00:09:47.839 --> 00:09:48.914
can create without the

00:09:48.948 --> 00:09:50.191
influence of technology,

00:09:50.224 --> 00:09:51.434
just with my

00:09:51.467 --> 00:09:52.710
mind and the power of my

00:09:52.744 --> 00:09:53.114
brain.

00:09:53.281 --> 00:09:54.149
Sometimes the best

00:09:54.179 --> 00:09:55.168
way to

00:09:55.198 --> 00:09:55.887
recharge is to

00:09:55.917 --> 00:09:56.905
turn off the

00:09:56.935 --> 00:09:57.976
charger.  That's our top

00:09:58.010 --> 00:09:59.106
ten, but before

00:09:59.139 --> 00:10:00.335
I go, I'd like to welcome

00:10:00.368 --> 00:10:01.431
Dr. Ajare from

00:10:01.464 --> 00:10:02.726
Stadium View High School

00:10:02.759 --> 00:10:03.689
in Minneapolis,

00:10:03.722 --> 00:10:04.977
Minnesota.  Thank you for

00:10:05.012 --> 00:10:06.233
your nice letter and

00:10:06.268 --> 00:10:07.175
thank you for

00:10:07.210 --> 00:10:08.082
allowing CNN 10

00:10:08.117 --> 00:10:09.233
to create a bridge between the

00:10:09.268 --> 00:10:10.245
classroom and the larger

00:10:10.280 --> 00:10:11.656
world.  Go up

00:10:11.690 --> 00:10:12.874
.  Also, this is

00:10:12.906 --> 00:10:14.178
a greeting to Ms. Spell

00:10:14.211 --> 00:10:15.450
from the Vocational

00:10:15.482 --> 00:10:16.689
Rehabilitation Center in Lubbock,

00:10:16.721 --> 00:10:18.286
Texas.  Student

00:10:18.315 --> 00:10:19.367
Sierra designed this

00:10:19.396 --> 00:10:20.302
cool t-shirt and

00:10:20.331 --> 00:10:21.412
also made one

00:10:21.441 --> 00:10:22.522
for her teddy bear.

00:10:22.622 --> 00:10:23.504
Um, and then she

00:10:23.535 --> 00:10:24.702
sent me one.

00:10:24.802 --> 00:10:26.510
How do you like that?  Give me five

00:10:26.556 --> 00:10:27.539
out of 10. You guys are really

00:10:28.101 --> 00:10:28.911
hardworking bees.

00:10:29.011 --> 00:10:29.891
Thank you for making

00:10:29.916 --> 00:10:30.646
our day better.

00:10:30.746 --> 00:10:32.077
Shine, little rays.  You are more

00:10:32.110 --> 00:10:32.982
powerful than you

00:10:33.016 --> 00:10:34.790
think.  I am Coy Wire,

00:10:34.846 --> 00:10:36.795
and we are CNN 10.
