🚀FAA requiring SpaceX to make changes to Texas launch site ahead of future launches

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has determined that SpaceX’s plans for the company’s massive Starbase launch site in South Texas will have some environmental impact on the surrounding land and area but not enough to require a full environmental impact statement. 

Now, SpaceX will need to make more than 75 changes to its proposal for the Starbase facility if the company wants to avoid additional review and eventually receive a license from the FAA to launch its new Starship rocket to orbit from the site.

‼️"Unprecedented" rainfall forces Yellowstone to close all entrances

Roads in the northern portion of Yellowstone National Park have been temporarily closed due to heavy flooding, rockslides, and extremely hazardous conditions, the National Service said.

The community of Gardiner is "currently isolated," and the park is teaming up with the county and Montana to offer support for residents in the area, who are currently without water and power in some spots.

"We will not know the timing of the park’s reopening until flood waters subside and we're able to assess the damage throughout the park," Yellowstone superintendent Cam Sholly said in a statement posted on social media.

Several locations in and around the expansive park recorded more than two inches of rain in 24 hours ending Monday, which was partly associated with an atmospheric river event that has hit the Pacific Northwest and moved eastward.

😳🔥The Western US on Monday marked another day of hot, dry, and windy weather as crews from California to New Mexico battled wildfires that had forced hundreds of people to leave their homes.

Several hundred homes on the outskirts of Flagstaff, Arizona, were evacuated, and the Arizona Snowbowl ski resort was closed as a precaution because of a wildfire - the second to hit the area this year.

“It's literally like déjà vu,” said Coconino County Sheriff's spokesman Jon Paxton. "We are in the same exact spot doing the same exact thing as we were a month and a half ago. People are tired.” The number of square miles burned so far this year is more than double the 10-year national average, and states like New Mexico already have set records with devastating blazes that have destroyed hundreds of homes while causing environmental damage that is expected to affect future water supplies.

🔎Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine on Monday signed a bill that allows school staff to be armed with reduced training and other measures meant to boost school security.

The Ohio Senate passed House Bill 99 on June 1 with a 23-9 vote. It was sent back to the House, where it passed with a 56-34 vote.

The bill creates the Ohio Mobile Training Team, which would consist of licensed regional peace officers and armed forces veterans to partner with local schools to improve school safety and security services.

The training must consist of 24 hours of initial instruction, followed by eight annual hours, and include topics such as mitigation techniques. School boards may require more training and will have to notify parents if school personnel is authorized to be armed. School personnel that is armed will get an annual criminal background check.
