Canadian expected to be aboard Russia's 1st manned space mission since rocket failure

READ MORE The first manned mission to the International Space Station since a Russian rocket failed to launch successfully earlier this month may take off on Dec. 3, space agency Roscosmos said on Wednesday. And the crew is expected to include Canadian astronaut David Saint-Jacques, Agence France-Press reported. A Russian cosmonaut and U.S. astronaut were forced to abort their mission on Oct. 11 and perform an emergency landing after a launch accident that Roscomos said was caused by a faulty sensor. The accident was the first serious launch problem experienced by a manned Soyuz space mission since 1983, when a crew narrowly escaped before a launch pad explosion. Sergei Krikalyov, a senior Roscosmos official, was quoted by state news agency Tass as saying the next manned launch had been planned for mid-December, but that Russia was trying to bring the date forward so that the ISS is not briefly left without a crew. “The industry is making significant efforts to move the launch t...

Kerala authorities estimate rebuilding after flood will cost $3bn

READ MORE New Delhi, India – The cost to rebuild Kerala following the severe flooding that hit the southern Indian state will exceed $3.7bn, authorities said. Almost 500 people were killed and a million left homeless after the worst floods in a century hit the coastal state in May. The torrential rains destroyed tens of thousands of homes, ruined crops and washed away roads and bridges. At the state assembly on Thursday,  Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan said the economic losses would exceed $3.73bn. Last month, the central government announced it would provide 6bn rupees ($84.6m) in assistance to the state, far less than the 20bn rupees ($282m) it requested. Much to the dismay of state officials, the government has also rejected offers of foreign aid from Qatar and the United Arab Emirates. Around 50,000 people are still living in over 300 camps across the state. More than four million jobs have been impacted by the floods so far, while 3.3 million jobs are currently...
