Unexpected tornado leaves at least 1 dead, multiple injured in Kentucky
At least one person is dead and seven others injured after an unexpected tornado struck a rural Kentucky county early Friday morning as a line of severe storms moved eastward across the state. The man was killed on Long Run Road in the Deep Creek area of Washington County and numerous homes and structures were severely damaged in the area, Washington County Sheriff Jerry Pinkston confirmed to CNN. Photos shared on Facebook by the sheriff's office showed the devastating aftermath, with cars overturned, homes flattened and trees uprooted. The tornado was at least an EF1, according to a preliminary survey by the National Weather Service. At least two homes were totally destroyed, Washington County Judge Executive Timothy Graves said at a Friday morning news conference. 'We were very fortunate this was located in a remote part of the county so it was a smaller area that was hit, but it was devastating,' Graves said. Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear noted 'this level of severe weather was unexpected' in a post on X. 'We also expect to see additional storms today with Eastern and Southeastern Kentucky facing a risk of more severe weather. Please be alert this morning and stay safe.' Storms in Kentucky had intensified quickly Friday morning. There was no tornado watch or severe thunderstorm watch in place ahead of time, and the Storm Prediction Center had not outlooked the area as even having low probabilities for tornadoes. A severe thunderstorm warning that also noted tornadoes were possible was issued for Washington County at 6:46 a.m., followed by a tornado warning just three minutes later. Initial damage reports came in at around 6:53 a.m., suggesting there was only minutes of lead time before the tornado struck. Kentucky has experienced a spate of dangerous severe weather this spring, from violent storms to devastating floods that have caused significant damage and loss of life. Earlier this month, a powerful storm system swept across the central US, triggering multiple tornadoes that claimed 18 lives in Kentucky. Southeastern parts of the state were hit hardest, with widespread damage to buildings, vehicles, trees and infrastructure. In April, the state faced historic flooding that killed seven people, damaged roads, and destroyed hundreds of homes, prompting evacuations and water rescues. The state had endured more flooding in February that left at least 12 people dead. More than 1,000 tornadoes spawn across the United States in an average year, causing deaths, injuries and billions of dollars in damage. This tornado season got off to an accelerated start, with the cumulative number of them thus far outpacing the 15-year average. At least 973 tornadoes have been reported so far this year in the contiguous United States. Georgia also saw a dangerous tornado spin up in an Atlanta suburb Thursday afternoon as severe thunderstorms moved through the area. The tornado destroyed the Locust Grove home of 'The Wire' actor Tray Chaney while the family was inside, Chaney said. His teenaged son, Malachi, was thrown about 300 feet into the woods, according to the actor. 'Thank God I'm still living. I survived the tornado, my son – he survived,' Chaney said in an emotional video posted on Instagram. 'I'm doing the video to let you know right now man, cherish life. Cherish life as much as you can.' His son is in the ICU, Chaney said in a statement on Friday. He told CNN affiliate WANF the teen had broken several ribs and fractured a bone in his face. Malachi turns 19 on Sunday. CNN Meteorologists Brandon Miller and Gene Norman contributed to this report.

FAA demands an accident investigation into SpaceX's latest out-of-control Starship flight
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — The Federal Aviation Administration is demanding an accident investigation into this week's out-of-control Starship flight by SpaceX. Tuesday's test flight from Texas lasted longer than the previous two failed demos of the world's biggest and most powerful rocket, which ended in flames over the Atlantic. The latest spacecraft made it halfway around the world to the Indian Ocean, but not before going into a spin and breaking apart. The FAA said Friday that no injuries or public damage were reported. The first-stage booster — recycled from an earlier flight — also burst apart while descending over the Gulf of Mexico. But that was the result of deliberately extreme testing approved by the FAA in advance. All wreckage from both sections of the 403-foot (123-meter) rocket came down within the designated hazard zones, according to the FAA. The FAA will oversee SpaceX's investigation, which is required before another Starship can launch. CEO Elon Musk said he wants to pick up the pace of Starship test flights, with the ultimate goal of launching them to Mars. NASA needs Starship as the means of landing astronauts on the moon in the next few years. ___ The Associated Press Health and Science Department receives support from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute's Science and Educational Media Group and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.

New U.S. Spacecraft Aims To Find Future Russian Nuclear-Armed Orbiters
Russian nuclear-tipped intercontinental ballistic missiles roll across Red Square in Moscow, ... More American intelligence agencies have revealed Moscow is now developing a nuclear-armed spacecraft to loft into orbit AFP PHOTO / KIRILL KUDRYAVTSEV (Photo credit should read KIRILL KUDRYAVTSEV/AFP/GettyImages) After American intelligence discovered Russia is secretly developing nuclear-armed fighter spacecraft to challenge the Western space powers, a U.S. space defense outfit is testing futuristic inspector craft that could find a warhead hidden inside a capsule circling the planet. The Kremlin's clandestine project to station hyper-powerful weapons in orbit could escalate its nuclear brinkmanship, conducted via a barrage of threats to deploy its atomic arsenal - the world's largest - against any Western ally directly helping Ukraine repel its Russian invaders. Moscow has also warned it could begin shooting down American satellites aiding Ukraine - including SpaceX's broadband-beaming sats - extending its military belligerence into the celestial sphere. Russian envoys to the UN have repeatedly threatened to begin shooting down American satellites ... More aiding Ukraine - including the SpaceX Starlinks that are beaming broadband internet connections to besieged Ukrainian students and soldiers (Photo by: Alan Dyer/VWPics/Universal Images Group via Getty Images) A nuclear blast in low Earth orbit could — in a flash— destroy thousands of satellites and might, depending on its proximity to the International Space Station, endanger the lives of all the ISS astronauts. While the White House has leaked some details on Moscow's covert scheme to loft uranium warheads into orbit, the timing of the first launch is still shrouded in secrecy. Now, ThinkOrbital - co-founded by onetime leaders at the U.S. Space Force and the independent rocket titan SpaceX - is refining its leading-edge X-ray inspector spacecraft to spy inside satellites launched by potentially hostile powers for weapons of mass destruction. ThinkOrbital's inspectors, when launched into low Earth orbit, would be capable of detecting nuclear warheads disguised as civilian satellites, says Lee Rosen, a former Commander of the 4th Space Launch Squadron who now heads the space defense start-up. Colonel Rosen told me in an interview that ThinkOrbital's next-generation inspectors include two partner craft: one emits high-energy X-rays at a satellite speeding through space, while the other records the images the X-rays produce as they pass through the target. 'The detector spacecraft would be positioned on one side of the target, and the X-ray emitter on the other side,' he says. This orbital X-ray system could detect nuclear bombs no matter how intricately they are camouflaged, and even as they speed through space at 28,000 kilometers per hour, Rosen says. The detonation of a powerful nuclear warhead near the International Space Station would kill its ... More astronauts within hours, say American experts on nuclear weaponry. (Photo by Alexander Gerst / ESA via Getty Images) Rosen, who left his last post as a VP of Mission and Launch Operations at SpaceX to form ThinkOrbital, says the Colorado-based outfit is now testing the new detection system, and aims to launch twin demo missions into orbit next year. Development of the world's first X-ray set-up for space-based scouting missions is being partly funded by the U.S. Space Force, Colonel Rosen says, via a series of SpaceWERX contracts as part of the rapidly expanding drive to strengthen American space defenses. ThinkOrbital's twin inspectors, once in orbit, can bolster American 'space domain awareness' and preparations for prospective space clashes of the future, he says. A flotilla of ThinkOrbital's X-ray Imagers peer into satellites speeding through low Earth orbit to ... More check for concealed nuclear warheads and other weaponry in this rendering of future missions The ability to know what each spacecraft launched by a potentially hostile power is doing in orbit, and its payload, is essential for the U.S. Space Force, Rosen adds. Kremlin threats to deploy its nuclear and anti-satellite missiles against Western targets underscore the importance of gathering continuous real-time intelligence on Russian rocket forces. Moscow's stationing fission or fusion bombs in orbit would violate the Outer Space Treaty - the fundamental international pact that governs space missions across the solar system. 'States Parties to the Treaty,' the UN space compact declares, 'undertake not to place in orbit around the Earth any objects carrying nuclear weapons or any other kinds of weapons of mass destruction, install such weapons on celestial bodies, or station such weapons in outer space in any other manner. ' All the major space powers, including then-Soviet Russia, signed the treaty a generation ago, and violating its ban on atomic warheads in space could threaten the future of spaceflight around the world. The White House moved to confirm Moscow's campaign to position strategic warheads hundreds of kilometers above the Earth when it introduced a UN Security Council resolution last year underscoring this longstanding proscription on nuclear arms in space. The Russian ambassador to the UN quickly vetoed the measure, prompting then-National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan to declare: 'We have heard President Putin say publicly that Russia has no intention of deploying nuclear weapons in space. If that were the case, Russia would not have vetoed this resolution.' The ever-expanding threat of advanced missiles and nuclear super-bombs being produced by potential adversaries impelled the White House to propose constructing a Golden Dome missile defense shield around the globe that could hypothetically protect against ICBMs launched from any point on the planet. As the Department of Defense begins building out this supermassive dome, Colonel Rosen says, ThinkOrbital's inspectors could play a pivotal role in safeguarding the myriad Allied sensors and armed interceptors - aimed at detecting and blasting an enemy's ballistic missiles during the first three minutes of their post-launch boost phase - from any nuclear time bombs skulking through the heavens. The White House has leaked sparse details of Russia's top-secret project to launch nuclear warheads ... More on spacecraft that would orbit the planet (Photo by Chris Kleponis - Pool/Getty Images) With the building of the orbital dome, Rosen says, 'that's going to be a big juicy target' for any power challenging U.S. pre-eminence in space. Spenser Warren, a prominent American expert on Moscow's new-millennium race to strengthen its nuclear arsenal, says he strongly backs Colonel Rosen's prediction that the Golden Dome could become a prime target in any future face-off with Russia. 'I do think that Russia may launch a strike against space-based Golden Dome assets, if realized, in the event of a conflict,' Warren, a postdoctoral fellow at the University of California Institute on Global Conflict and Cooperation, tells me in an interview. 'Could it be nuclear? It probably could,' predicts Warren, whose doctoral dissertation was titled, 'Russian Strategic Nuclear Modernization under Vladimir Putin.' 'Any significant conflict with any peer or near-peer adversary,' he adds, 'will undoubtedly have a space dimension.' Vladimir Putin has spent much of his reign modernizing Moscow's nuclear missiles while attempting to ... More push Russia's borders outward through military force and nuclear threats (Photo by Alexander NEMENOV / AFP) (Photo by ALEXANDER NEMENOV/AFP via Getty Images) Colonel Rosen says that to help pre-empt any attacks against the American dome launched from an orbital platform, 'there are multiple uses for our inspector spacecraft.' 'As part of the Golden Dome, we could help protect the protectors.' Fleets of ThinkOrbital inspectors, Rosen says, could patrol the high-traffic rings surrounding the Earth, randomly scanning spacecraft launched by rival powers for concealed weaponry. ThinkOrbital's primary goal, he says, is 'giving our commanders the ability to understand the space battlefield.' 'This will contribute to the whole space war-fighting mission.' ThinkOrbital's mission of adapting X-ray technology to scout for nuclear arms surreptitiously circling the globe could help provide 'protection for all satellites in LEO [low Earth orbit], if that is indeed where the Russians put their satellite with a nuclear warhead, and again, if they end up deploying it,' says Victoria Samson, Chief Director, Space Security and Stability at the Secure World Foundation, one of Washington DC's leading space defense think tanks. 'A nuclear ASAT would be a crude but effective weapon against a very large constellation of satellites, whether it's thousands of [SpaceX] Starlinks or thousands of [DOD] space-based interceptors,' Samson, one of the top space security experts in the U.S., tells me in an interview. While ThinkOrbital's current focus is on lofting its prototype inspectors at the start of 2026, its longer-range goal is to launch a series of orbital modules and ultimately a colossal space station - four times the size of the ISS. Nearly two years ago, ThinkOrbital's founders signed a Space Act Agreement with NASA to collaborate on developing 'single-launch, large-scale orbital platforms that facilitate a wide array of applications in low Earth orbit, including in-space research, manufacturing, and astronaut missions.' ThinkOrbital was one of just seven American space-tech leaders, alongside Blue Origin, SpaceX and Sierra Space, hand-picked by NASA to design independent space stations slated to populate the closest orbital lanes when the ISS is decommissioned, or the spacecraft that will speed government and private astronauts to these new space outposts - as long as the current de facto space truce holds. ThinkOrbital's long-range goal is to launch a series of orbital modules and ultimately a colossal ... More space station - four times the size of the ISS.
