The Dream Chaser space plane, which the Colorado-based company Sierra Nevada Corporation is developing to fly astronauts to and from the International Space Station, was held aloft by an Erickson Air-Crane heavy-lift helicopter in the skies above NASA’s Dryden Flight Research Center in Edwards, California. The helicopter carried a test version of Dream Chaser for two hours during Thursday’s trial, reaching a maximum altitude of 3780 metres and following the path the space plane will likely take during future approach and landing tests at Dryden, NASA officials said.
TWIN FALLS, Idaho -- At least 89 people have reported getting sick after eating Chobani Greek yogurt manufactured in Twin Falls, the Food and Drug Administration reported. FDA spokeswoman Tamara Ward told The Times-News (http://bit.ly/17nnX7P) on Monday that some have described nausea and cramps. No link has been confirmed between the illnesses and the yogurt. However, Ward says the FDA is working with Chobani to hasten its voluntary recall.
NEW YORK -- Chobani says it's recalling some of its Greek yogurt cups that were affected by mold, a move prompted by reports of illnesses by some customers. The recall comes about a week after the company first started asking retailers to pull the products from shelves, saying some cups were "swelling and bloating." Chobani had previously said it wasn't issuing a formal recall. But the Food and Drug Administration said Wednesday that it was in talks with the company about the matter.
