Boeing and its largest union are entering the last week of contract negotiations before a threatened strike by more than 30,000 workers

Boeing has a tentative agreement with its largest union on a new contract for factory workers that could avoid a threatened strike

Boeing’s first astronaut mission ended Friday night with an empty capsule landing and two test pilots still in space, left behind until next year because NASA judged their return too risky.

Boeing's Starliner spacecraft landed uncrewed in New Mexico late Friday, concluding a three-month test mission marked by technical issues that have delayed the return of NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams. The astronauts, who flew to the International Space Station (ISS) in June aboard Starliner, had to remain in space after NASA deemed the spacecraft's maneuvering thrusters too risky for crewed return. Starliner autonomously undocked from the ISS at 6:04 p.m. ET on Friday, starting a six-hour journey back to Earth using maneuvering thrusters. NASA had determined the thrusters were too risky for a crew, prompting the decision to keep Wilmore and Williams on the ISS. Despite these concerns, Starliner returned to Earth smoothly, as shown in a NASA live stream, successfully completing the critical final phase of its mission. The spacecraft reentered Earth's atmosphere at around 11 p.m. ET, traveling at speeds of approximately 17,000 miles (27,400 km) per hour. About 45 minutes later, it deployed a series of parachutes to slow its descent and inflated airbags just before landing at the White Sands Space Harbor in New Mexico.

Scoot flight from Singapore to the Chinese city of Guangzhou hit turbulence. One person was taken to the hospital, The Straits Times reported. Scoot said the flight encountered turbulence as it was approaching Guangzhou on Friday morning, adding that the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft landed uneventfully at 9.10 am local time. Scoot flight TR100 departed from Singapore around 5.45 am, The Straits Times said, citing data from flight-tracking website FlightRadar24.

₹3,500 over and above its regular fare, Air India Express tagged its business class seats at about ₹16,000 in the Delhi-Mumbai sector. That’s still lower than the ₹26,000 charged by its parent entity, the Tata Group-owned full service Air India, for a business class seat on the same route. “We would have replaced these business class seats earlier itself if these replacements were available earlier," a senior Air India Express executive said on condition of anonymity.

Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft was set to return to Earth, marking the end of a 14-year mission fraught with challenges. The uncrewed spacecraft was due to perform a crucial deorbit burn at 11:17 p.m. EDT, aiming for a landing at the White Sands Space Harbor in New Mexico shortly after midnight. The landing test would evaluate Starliner’s heat shield and a newly redesigned parachute system. Boeing's Starliner mission, a pivotal endeavor that started 14 years ago, is now reaching its critical phases as it makes its return journey to Earth. The spacecraft’s deorbit burn is a key maneuver needed to slow it enough for gravity to pull it back to the planet, targeting a safe landing at the vast, flat expanse of White Sands Space Harbor. The success of the landing will depend heavily on the deployment of its parachutes, followed by airbags to ensure a soft touchdown, expected around 12:03 a.m. EDT on September 7. NASA astronauts currently aboard the International Space Station (ISS) have been vocal in their support for the mission control team. Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore offered encouraging words as Starliner prepared to undock and return home.

Usha Vance has mostly followed Melania Trump's lead and stayed silent on the campaign trail since JD Vance was announced as Donald Trump's running mate at the Republican National Convention more than a month ago. She makes frequent appearances at her husband's campaign events; even though he is a vice presidential candidate, it would be easy to miss them if you weren't paying close attention. Taylor Van Kirk, a spokesman for Senator Vance, responded to the Daily Beast when asked about Usha's appearances and said that she is actually with her husband on the trail today and has appeared at multiple events on the campaign trail with him. However, the attorney hasn't adopted the same level of involvement that Gwen, the wife of Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz, has. While the Democrat has been the talk of fundraisers, slamming the Republican ticket with her teacher's voice, Vance's appearances have mainly consisted of greetings and pleasantries.

Boeing's beleaguered astronaut capsule is set to depart the International Space Station on Friday without its crew

Boeing Starliner spacecraft is set to make its journey back to Earth from the International Space Station (ISS) this Friday. The uncrewed capsule will depart from the ISS, leaving behind its crew members, NASA astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore, who will continue their mission on the orbital outpost. Despite the spacecraft's earlier technical challenges, both NASA and Boeing express confidence in a successful return, although not confident enough to have the astronauts onboard for this particular trip. Steve Stich, NASA's commercial crew program manager, conveyed optimism during a recent briefing, stating, “We have confidence in the vehicle. It’s been a journey to get here, and we’re excited to have Starliner undock and return”, as quoted in a report by USA Today.

This type of long-term thinking and experience in dealing with tough markets — and there’s no doubt maritime shipping has been brutal historically — will serve both A.P. Moller-Maersk A/S and CMA CGM SA well as the two shipping giants seek to expand into air freight. Both companies took delivery this summer of new Boeing 777 freighters and have lined up deliveries of more Boeing Co. and Airbus SE aircraft as they build out capacity. These new aircraft represent the action behind the pledges to diversify their businesses during the height of the pandemic when customers were desperate for sea and air transportation. Both Maersk and CMA CGM have invested in the trucking side of the logistics business and are now accumulating their first new aircraft to tackle the air-freight market. Shipping rates soared during the Covid-19 lockdowns, and the influx of cash from this once-in-a-generation cycle gave marine operators the cash to diversify. Maersk earned $31 billion of operating profit in 2022 alone.

Air Canada has offered to boost the pay of more than 5,000 pilots by about 30 per cent within the next three years, according to people familiar with the matter, as it seeks to prevent a strike.

Boeing will attempt to return its problem-plagued capsule from the International Space Station later this week — with empty seats

US Presidential Elections 2024. Even though Kennedy is trying hard to get his name removed from the ballot, according to reports, he may still see his name feature in the Presidential Election ballots when the regions of Michigan, Wisconsin and North Carolina head to the US polls 2024. It is indeed tough to understand what adverse effects of this uncommon case may have on Donald Trump, but it may definitely see some votes going away from his side, probably of some who may have certain reservations on voting for him in the US Presidential Elections.

Boeing has faced a plethora of negative news and nearly nothing but issues. If a new contract isn't reached by September 12, 32,000 workers may go on strike against Boeing. While Boeing struggles with its past decisions and ongoing financial issues, the union demands better wages, benefits, and job security. On September 12 at 11:59 p.m. PT, the agreement between Boeing and the International Association of Machinists is scheduled to expire. The employees who assemble the company's aircraft in Washington state are scheduled to go on strike for the first time in sixteen years if they don't get a new contract. The union's president believes that there is currently little chance of a deal. The major issues that divide them are pay, health care, retirement, and vacation time, according to Jon Holden, the president of IAM District 751, who spoke with CNN last week. They're still working on it, but it's been a difficult process to get there.

OLED screens will have notable implications for its current suppliers. Notably, Japanese firms Sharp Corp and Japan Display, who have been key providers of LCD screens for Apple's devices, are expected to be phased out of the company's supply chain for its handsets.

Nasa announced on Friday that it will remove two astronauts from an upcoming SpaceX flight to make space for two astronauts currently stranded at the International Space Station (ISS). Nasa astronauts Zena Cardman and Stephanie Wilson will be removed from the mission but are expected to join future missions. This decision was made considering factors such as spaceflight experience. Nasa’s Nick Hague and Russian astronaut Aleksandr Gorbunov are set to launch aboard a SpaceX rocket to the ISS in September. They will return in February with the astronauts stranded at the ISS, Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore. Williams and Wilmore had originally embarked on a one-week mission aboard Boeing's Starliner since June. However, due to technical problems like helium leaks and thruster malfunctions, their stay on the ISS has been extended.

Sunita Williams and Barry Wilmore, their space trip has to the International Space Station (ISS) has extended to eight months due to technical issues with Boeing's Starliner spacecraft. The astronauts are now set to return to Earth in February 2025 aboard a SpaceX Crew Dragon. Amid the long and extended space voyage, it has not only become challenging for the space travellers but also their families back at earth may be worried about them.

More information has been released about the incident that took the lives of 2 people and injured 1 person on Tuesday morning, FOX 5 Atlanta reports. 

NASA recently said that astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams will choose to return on SpaceX's Crew Dragon in February, and that Boeing's Starliner would return empty. For Boeing, which has been struggling with the Starliner project for a number of years, this decision is yet another blow. Since 2016, the project has had major delays, supply chain disruptions, and technological difficulties that have resulted in a $1.6 billion budget overrun, as per the reports of Yahoo news.
