[Music] what up sunshine welcome to CNN 10 hope you had an awesome weekend we've got a stacked show for you today so let's Jump Right In and we start with some news in space there's a serious situation unfolding 250 miles above Earth the International Space Station or ISS which is about the size of a football field has been experiencing air leaks the leaks in its Russian section were first spotted in 2019 but have recently gotten worse the space station needs to maintain its air pressure to keep astronauts safe the problem is located in a tunnel connecting a Russian module called zvezda to a docking port where the spacecraft delivers supplies NASA is very concerned about the structural Integrity of the space station and his warning of serious consequences NASA added extra emergency seats to their SpaceX spacecraft in case of an evacuation on the other side though Russia's space agency Ross Cosmos maintains that fears of catastrophic failure are unrealistic Russia has actively searched for and repaired problem areas reducing leak rates and have concluded that operations can continue safely despite disagreements NASA and roscosmos continue to work together closely they've taken the precautionary step of keeping that section sealed off unless they need to access it the ISS has been continuously occupied by astronauts since 2000 scientists conduct research that helps us understand things like how to grow food in space and how diseases behave in zero gravity the station had planned to operate until at least 2030 but this situation is Raising important questions about its future 10c trivia where was the Declaration of Independence signed Boston New York Philadelphia or Washington DC on July 4th 1776 the Continental Congress signed the Declaration of Independence in Independence Hall in Philly in Philadelphia an iconic American ocean liner is going to sink on purpose the SS United States once the holder of the transatlantic speed record will soon transform into the world's largest artificial Reef after sitting idle for nearly 30 years this legendary vessel that carried presidents the Mona Lisa was going to find new purpose on the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico in Philadelphia off an industrial road behind shopping centers and surrounded by fence there's just something that she evokes an energy a majestic American work of art sits waiting for its final Journey to the bottom of the ocean oh I'm heartbroken I'm really heartbroken to see this happen this is AIC America's Flagship the SS United States a glorious ship bigger than the Titanic nearly as long as the Chrysler Building and 70 years ago the United States burst into life could there be a greater name for the world's greatest ship the ocean liner carried four US presidents stars and celebrities and even transported the Mona Lisa but her crowning achievement was breaking the transatlantic speed record in 1952 her owners were awarded the hail's trophy the designer William Francis Gibbs knew then she was a masterpiece and today his granddaughter knows it too this is where my grandfather was when the ship smashed the transatlantic speed record on her maiden voyage Susan Gibbs leads the SS United States Conservancy a nonprofit which has fought for years to preserve the ship this was a big public area there was a library here but the SS United States has sat dormant in Philadelphia for nearly 30 years you just see the bow of the ship pointing toward Lowe's and Ikea and you just think she is ready to bust a move this year after legal battles and economic headwinds the ship was evicted from its Pier we were on a furious search for an alternate parking spot scanned the scanned the nation and unfortunately we're unable to secure another spot for her partly because what makes her so amazing she's so big makes her challenging to to dock instead this fall a county in Florida purchased the United States to sink her in the Gulf of Mexico I don't even think of it as purchasing it to sink it I think of it as to um welcoming it into our family the goal to turn her into the world's largest artificial Reef helping the environment attracting divers for years to come and in a way preserving her if we don't don't do anything with her she'll be scrap and so I always remember that and then being here today I I I got a little teary eyed because I was like could you imagine if this went to the scrapyard I mean we are going to pay as much respect to her as we possibly can we prevented her from being scrapped and we're very excited about her next chapter she she will live on in a different way I've been paying this ship as long as I've been in Philly in her final days a float in Philly admirers stopped to pay tribute in their own ways kind of heartbreaking to see it go having spent so much time observing it and appreciating it perfect Landmark down here it is that time of year again in Alaska where the sun's going to set and not rise again for two months
