A |     An off-duty pilot is charged with 83 counts of attempted murder after he allegedly tried to shut off the engines by pulling the fire extinguisher handles on an Alaska Airlines flight, according to officials.The plane was scheduled to fly from Everett, Washington, to San Francisco before it diverted late Sunday to Portland after a "credible security threat related to an authorized occupant in the flight deck jump seat," the airline confirmed to ABC News.The suspect allegedly tried to pull the fire extinguisher handles on the engines, preliminary information obtained by investigators indicated, according to a federal official briefed on the probe. The suspect was overwhelmed by flight crew and subdued and then handcuffed to a seat, the federal official told ABC News.The suspect, Joseph David Emerson, was taken into custody, the Port of Portland confirmed. Emerson is charged with 83 counts of attempted murder, according to the Multnomah County Sheriff's Office. He is also facing 83 counts of reckless endangerment, a misdemeanor, and one felony count of endangering an aircraft.The suspect was en route to San Francisco, where he was scheduled to be on a flight crew of a 737, the official said.Alaska Airlines said the off-duty pilot was sitting in the flight deck jump seat -- which is in the cockpit -- and "unsuccessfully attempted to disrupt the operation of the engines."The captain and first officer "quickly responded," Alaska said, adding engine power was not lost and the crew secured the aircraft without incident.There were 80 passengers and four crew members on the flight, according to Alaska.Passenger Aubrey Gavello told ABC News, "We didn't know anything was happening until the flight attendant got on the loudspeaker and made an announcement that there was an emergency situation and the plane needed to land immediately. … About 15 minutes later, she got back on and said that there was a medical emergency."Passenger Alex Wood said the pilot announced that "there was a disturbance in the cockpit."Gavello said she heard a flight attendant tell the suspect, "We're going to be fine, it's OK, we'll get you off the plane.""So I really thought it was a serious medical emergency," she said.Wood added, "It was very professional, handled very calmly, and we didn't really know what was going on until we landed."Once the plane landed, Wood said police went to the back of the plane and escorted a handcuffed man off the plane. He noted that the suspect "was wearing a lanyard, a sweater. Looked like an airline employee."Gavello said, "After we did land and the gentleman was escorted off, the flight attendant got back on the speaker and said, plain and simple, 'He had a mental breakdown. We needed to get him off the plane immediately.'"The Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement to carriers that the incident is "not connected in any way shape or form to current world events."The event is being investigated by law enforcement, the airline said. The FBI confirmed it is looking into the incident and "can assure the traveling public there is no continuing threat related to this incident."Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg said in a statement, "I am grateful for the professional flight crew and air traffic controllers who stepped up to guide this plane safely to Portland. FAA supports law enforcement in their response and will be focused on any safety considerations for the future that emerge from investigations."The pilots union Air Line Pilots Association, International in a statement praised the pilots and crew who safely landed the plane and said it's fully cooperating with authorities.The union added, "The airline pilot profession in North America is one of the most highly vetted and scrutinized careers, and for good reason. For decades, the United States has pioneered a proactive approach to improving aviation safety and maintaining a healthy work environment for pilots. In addition, U.S. pilots are continuously evaluated throughout their careers through training, medical exams, crew resource management, and programs such as the Line Operations Safety Audit, as well as by the airline and during random flight checks by the Federal Aviation Administration."。北京时间1月9日晚，太空探索技术公司SpaceX的首席执行官埃隆•马斯克（Elon Musk）最近表示，即将到来的“龙舟号”发射任务“非常危险”，他非常紧张。几周后，SpaceX将向国际空间站（ISS）发射一个新的“龙舟”太空舱，这将是对“载人龙舟”的一次无人驾驶试验。对于SpaceX来说，这将是一个极其重要的测试，也是项目成败的关键时刻。

B | 作为回应，特斯拉首席执行官和SpaceX首席执行官穆斯克最近在Twitter上表示，此次发布“特别危险”，“非常紧张”。尽管该项目得到了美国宇航局的大力支持，但载人“龙”号宇宙飞船的发射却被推迟了几次。下一个计划的发射日期是1月17日，但由于美国政府的部分暂停，人们相信它将再次推迟。根据马斯克的预测，载人的“龙”飞船预计将在一个月内发射。

C | “神龙”载人航天X是美国宇航局为国际空间站的宇航员开发的一种航天器。它的内部设计井然有序，整个车厢看起来像一辆豪华轿车。船员舱提供七个座位，由碳纤维和丙纶纤维制成。座椅前面的视频将向宇航员提供有关航天器位置和机舱环境的信息。

D | 太空船还提供了一个环境控制系统来帮助宇航员调节温度。如果载人飞船发射成功，商业载人航天的成本将降低。神龙飞船的载人版本配备了最先进的硬件和软件，这比俄罗斯联盟号飞船更容易控制，毕竟后者是20世纪60年代的产物，在未来几个月里，太空X还有许多障碍需要克服。在SpaceX有足够的信心让人类进入宇宙飞船之前，还有许多试验飞行要进行。但是，如果SpaceX成功了，我们相信在不久的将来，外层空间会离我们更近。
