Bahamas Bowl: UAB 24, Miami (OH) 20
UAB just needed its defense to make a stop with the goal line on their back as Miami (OH) wide receiver Jalen Walker was on his way to the end zone eyeing a last-second, game-winning touchdown. The Blazers wrapped up Walker and brought him to the ground at the 2-yard line, sealing a 24-20 win in an epic edition of the Bahamas Bowl.
It was a win for UAB that came with mixed emotions as interim coach Bryant Vincent, who took over the team following Bill Clark’s retirement in July, went out a winner in his last game leading the team. Meanwhile, over on the sideline, there was Trent Dilfer, UAB’s next head coach, taking in the performance and rooting on the team that he will inherit as the program turns the page from 2022 to 2023.
UAB was also without its star running back, DeWayne McBride, after the NCAA’s leading rusher and Conference USA Offensive Player of the Year announced shortly before the game that he would not be playing. Early on there was no sign that McBride’s absence would play a role in the eventual outcome, as backup running back Jermaine Brown was more than capable of being productive with a heavier workload and the Blazers jumped out to a 10-0 lead. But Miami put together an impressive touchdown drive right before halftime to cut that lead 10-6 and give the RedHawks some momentum heading into the locker room. It was the first of two touchdown passes from Miami quarterback Aveon Smith with both scores coming on impressive catches.
UAB mistakes nearly handed the game away in the second half as the Blazers both fumbled a punt late in the third quarter to set up a one-play touchdown drive for Miami and then lost a fumble with six minutes left in the fourth quarter with the Blazers trailing 20-17. But the Blazers defense, like it did on the final play, stood tall and forced a field goal attempt after that fumble to give UAB’s offense one more chance for a game-tying or go-ahead score. Brown was the star of the drive and the star of the game, scoring his second touchdown of the day and rounding out a 24-carry, 116-yard performance.
Needing a TD to win, Miami’s final drive was hectic. There were 12 plays, multiple penalties and two fourth-down conversions by the RedHawks. But ultimately it was that final tackle that allowed UAB to hold on for the win, giving the Blazers a victory in the same bowl game where they first made an appearance in 2017 at the end of the program’s first season back on the field after the program was shut-down.
It is a fitting end to a great era of UAB football as the Blazers turn the page from the Bill Clark era to the Trent Dilfer era and from being in Conference USA to jumping up to the American Athletic Conference. The last five years have included multiple bowl bids, two conference championships and three conference title game appearances. Now it’s up to Dilfer and the rest of this UAB team to try and match those results in the AAC, and the best news for the Blazers comes from the fight they showed in the Bahamas Bowl and what it says about the current state of this team.

What’s Next for the Orion Spacecraft as It Cruises Toward the Moon
NASA’s Space Launch System blasted off on Wednesday, sending the uncrewed Orion spacecraft on a 25-day journey to the Moon and back. Orion should reach its destination early next week, at which time it’ll perform some intricate orbital acrobatics and set a number of spacefaring records in the process.
We’re in day two of Artemis 1, and the mission appears to be going well. SLS lit up the Florida sky early Wednesday morning, using its 8.8 million pounds of thrust to propel the $20 billion Orion capsule to space. Following a successful trans-lunar injection, Orion separated from the rocket’s Interim Cryogenic Propulsion Stage some two hours into the mission. The capsule, with its trusty companion, the European Service Module (ESM), are now cruising to the Moon.
The launch alone was spectacular, but several cool milestones lay ahead. Orion is propelled by the ESM, which, in addition to providing power and regulating temperature, is responsible for making course corrections along the way. Le voyage dan la lune is expected to take about five days, during which time mission controllers will keep close tabs on the capsule’s systems.
On Monday, November 21, Orion will start the process of entering into a distant retrograde orbit (DRO) around the Moon, in which the spacecraft will orbit in the opposite direction of the Moon’s spin. To get there, the ESM will need to perform an outbound powered fly-by burn at 7:44 a.m. (all times Eastern), at which time the spacecraft will come to within 60 miles (97 km) of the Moon. This will be Orion’s closest approach to the lunar surface.

The Moon’s gravity will then propel Orion into DRO, sending it 40,000 miles (64,000 km) beyond the Moon before it turns back. The DRO insertion burn is scheduled for November 25 at 4:52 p.m., the 10th day of the Artemis 1 mission.
This distance is 30,000 miles (48,000 km) farther than the previous orbital distance record, set in 1970 during Apollo 13. It’ll also be the farthest distance that a crew-rated spacecraft (i.e., a spacecraft designed to handle human passengers) has flown from Earth. As it stands, the Apollo 13 crew traveled the farthest from Earth of any humans, which is some serious bragging rights. Orion won’t break this record during Artemis 1, as there’s no one on board, but the crew of Artemis 2, currently scheduled to launch in late 2024, is poised to smash this record.
Orion is set to break the Apollo 13 record at 8:42 a.m. on Saturday, November 26 (day 11), and reach its maximum distance from Earth at 4:05 p.m. on Monday, November 28 (day 13), at which point the spacecraft will be 298,565 miles (480,494 km) from home.
Speaking to reporters during a pre-launch briefing on August 5, Rick LaBrode, lead Artemis 1 flight director, said Orion will attempt to capture an Earthrise image similar to the ones taken during Apollo. The capsule will also snap some photos when it reaches its maximum distance from Earth, LaBrode added.
Orion will commence its departure from DRO on December 1 (day 16), performing a trajectory maneuver at 4:53 p.m. The spacecraft should arrive home on December 11, at which time it will need to survive atmospheric reentry and a splashdown in the Pacific Ocean.
When all is said and done, Orion will have traveled 1.3 million miles (2.1 million kilometers), in what will be yet another record—the longest distance ever traversed by a crew-rated capsule. But that’s not all, as Orion will set records for remaining in space longer than any other crew-rated spacecraft without docking to a space station and for being the hottest and fastest crew-rated capsule to hit Earth’s atmosphere.
Artemis 1 is ambitious, no doubt, but it has to be. The Artemis program as a whole is serving as a stepping stone to getting humans to Mars, and the stuff we learn now will inform those future missions to the Red Planet. As an example, Orion will return from the Moon at Mach 32, but the capsule, on its return from the Red Planet, will be moving at Mach 36, NASA administrator Bill Nelson told reporters on August 3. A key goal of Artemis 1 is to evaluate Orion’s ability to reenter Earth’s atmosphere at high velocity, in what will be a key test of its heat shield.
“We’ve got a lot of testing to do,” said Nelson. He’s absolutely right, hence the importance of Artemis 1. The mission is off to a great start. Let’s hope it stays that way.

That’s when Miami-based residential shipbuilder Storylines plans to launch its new $1.5 billion, 753-foot megaship filled with 547 private residences. Storylines bills the cruise ship, called the MV Narrative, as “the world’s first environmentally sustainable private residence ship.”
The residences, which range in size from 237 to 1,970 square feet, are on sale now — and they aren’t cheap. Storylines says the residences cost between $1 million and $8 million, with ownership lasting for the “lifetime of the vessel,” which the company estimates as roughly 60 years.
For a shorter and cheaper buying opportunity, you can try to land one of the “limited number” of residences with 24-year leases that start at $647,000 for the total duration of the lease.
Storylines’ MV Narrative will offer 547 luxury private residences with anywhere from one to four bedrooms.
That’s a lot more than you’d pay to go on a cruise vacation, but the ship’s attraction is that you’ll be able to “travel the world from the comfort of home,” Storylines CEO Alister Punton said in a statement in August.
Storylines and Croatian shipyard Brodosplit are currently in the design-and-engineering phase of building the massive ship, which the companies say will be the first of its kind to be powered by liquid natural gas propulsion. The method lowers carbon emissions by about 25% compared with traditional diesel power.

The residences range from one- to four-bedroom living spaces, and most of them come with balconies to overlook the surrounding seas and various ports of call.
People who live on the MV Narrative will get to circumnavigate the globe every three years. Sailing from the ship’s home port in Croatia, the ship will spend up to five days in major ports around the world. Sample itineraries on the Storylines website tout stops from the Mediterranean to Australia and South America.
The MV Narrative will have 20 different restaurants and bars for residents to patronize.
In addition to the private luxury residences, the ship is set to offer 20 different restaurants and bars, a post office, a school, library, a hospital, a bank, office spaces and several pools.
Also included: a bowling alley, a micro-brewery, a movie theater, an open-air fitness deck with “racquet sports, yoga sun deck and running track” and a waterfront marina for personal watercrafts like jet skis and power boats.
The ship also boasts “the largest wellness center at sea,” which includes a spa, gym and anti-aging clinic in a 10,000-square foot space.
The MV Narrative’s residents will have access to a waterfront marina for personal watercrafts.
In addition to the eco-conscious propulsion system, Storylines says the ship’s focus on sustainability will include systems to convert waste into energy, while a “zero-waste farmer’s market” will feature locally sourced products including produce grown in the solar-powered hydroponic garden.
If the thought of a life at sea does appeal to you — and you can afford it — you certainly won’t be alone. Multiple other residence shipbuilders, like The World and Clydebuilt’s Dark Island, are also selling luxury suites aboard megaships for people who want to live, or even retire, on the sea.
Those other units aren’t any cheaper: The World’s luxury suites range from $2 million to $15 million, and Clydebuilt’s Dark Island has suites starting at $10.7 million.

2022 Belgian Grand Prix race report and highlights: Verstappen cruises to Belgian Grand Prix victory from P14 as Perez completes Red Bull 1-2
Max Verstappen made light work of his grid penalties to win the 2022 Belgian Grand Prix from P14 on the grid in a Red Bull one-two backed up by Sergio Perez, while pole-sitter Carlos Sainz finished P3 for Ferrari.
Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso tangled at Les Combes on Lap 1, leaving the Mercedes driver out of the race before Valtteri Bottas spun out in avoidance of Nicholas Latifi and brought out a Safety Car on Lap 2.
The restart saw Verstappen line up eighth while Sainz led Perez – Leclerc having had to pit for mediums with a tear-off in his brake duct. Verstappen made quick work of the cars ahead, sweeping into P3 by Lap 8 with only Perez and Sainz to beat.

Sainz pitted from softs to mediums on Lap 12, when Perez allowed Verstappen past and into the lead. The Dutchman extended his lead until Lap 15 and clawed back the deficit to Sainz, taking the lead on Lap 19 – taking another free pit stop on Lap 31 – before going on to win over Perez by over 18 seconds in a dominant display, with fastest lap to boot.
Sainz completed the podium ahead of Mercedes’ George Russell, who had previously passed Charles Leclerc but lost out on the final podium place by just over two seconds.
Leclerc made a late pit stop for soft tyres in an effort to take fastest lap, but missed out on the bonus point and only just held on to P5 ahead of Fernando Alonso. However, after being caught for speeding in the pit lane, a five-second penalty dropped him to P6.
The two-time champion was re-passed by the Ferrari on the final lap but finished ahead of team mate Esteban Ocon, who overhauled Sebastian Vettel (P8) and Pierre Gasly (P9) late in the race. Alex Albon rounded out the top 10 for Williams, fending off Lance Stroll for the final point.
Lando Norris caught up to a battling Albon and Stroll by the end of the race but the McLaren driver missed out and finished 12th, ahead of Yuki Tsunoda, who won a late-race battle against Alfa Romeo’s Zhou Guanyu.
That left Daniel Ricciardo in P15 ahead of the Haas pair – Kevin Magnussen 16th and Mick Schumacher 17th – while Nicholas Latifi finished 18th after taking three pit stops.

AS IT HAPPENED
Almost heralding the news that Spa-Francorchamps will remain on the calendar for 2023, the historic Ardennes circuit was basking in the sun on Sunday afternoon. That of course meant that conditions would be markedly different to the cool climes of Friday and Saturday.
Qualifying saw Carlos Sainz take pole position ahead of Sergio Perez even though Max Verstappen set the fastest time, as eight drivers were hit with engine and gearbox-related grid penalties for the Belgian Grand Prix. Those drivers were Max Verstappen, Charles Leclerc, Esteban Ocon, Lando Norris, Zhou Guanyu, Mick Schumacher and Yuki Tsunoda – who would cop a pit lane start after further power unit changes.

Verstappen was therefore aiming not only to extend his championship lead of 80 points, but become the first driver to win the Belgian Grand Prix from P14 or lower since Michael Schumacher, in 1995. Only Sainz, Bottas, Verstappen and Leclerc would start on softs, Tsunoda the sole hard-tyred starter – with the rest on mediums.
Lights out, and Sainz reacted quickest while Fernando Alonso jumped to second ahead of the Mercedes pair and Perez was bumped down to fifth behind the Silver Arrows. Hamilton edged ahead of Alonso going into Les Combes but the Alpine driver ran out of room and briefly rendered his rival airborne. The Mercedes driver was out of the race.
“This guy only knows how to drive and start in first,” exclaimed a furious Alonso.
Verstappen had a flying first lap, jumping all the way to P8 on his soft compounds, while Leclerc was up to 10th by the end of Lap 1. The start of Lap 2 signalled another collision – and a Safety Car – as birthday boy Valtteri Bottas spun out in avoidance of an out-of-control Nicholas Latifi, who himself seemed to be avoiding Ocon.
Behind the Safety Car, Sainz would line up ahead of Perez then Russell and Alonso, with Vettel rounding out the top five. Leclerc would have lined up ninth behind Verstappen but he reported smoke from his front-right tyre and soon had to pit under caution, on Lap 4, taking medium tyres, and lining up 17th ahead of new-nosed Latifi. Ferrari’s pit wall soon confirmed that a tear-off had caused Leclerc’s front-right brake to overheat, and that he was aiming for a one-stop strategy from there on.
The race restarted on Lap 5, just after Sainz locked up into the final chicane while prepping for the resumption, which caused Perez to back off and lock up into La Source and Russell to slow in avoidance. That gave Alonso a run at Russell down the Kemmel Straight but no positions had changed hands, at least in the top five; Verstappen had jumped to seventh at the expense of Alex Albon and taken another to P6 from Daniel Ricciardo at the final chicane. Ricciardo would then relinquish P7 to Albon down the Kemmel Straight.
Apart from Verstappen, the biggest gainers by the end of Lap 5 were Ocon, Norris, and Zhou, who had made up five places apiece in the start, Tsunoda up six.
The championship leader was far and away the fastest on track, prying places off Vettel on Lap 6 at the final chicane, then Alonso with DRS on Lap 7. Sainz, holding a two-second lead over Perez, was told to switch to “Plan B”.
By Lap 8, Verstappen had made his way into the podium places with a DRS pass on Russell well before Les Combes, and had just 2.5s between him and the leader. Leclerc meanwhile was 14th by the start of Lap 9, having made it past the AlphaTauris in a show of Ferrari’s pace, overhauling the Alfa Romeo of Zhou and the Haas of Kevin Magnussen soon after.
Albon and Gasly chose to pit for hards on Lap 11, the Williams and AlphaTauri all but committing to a one-stopper, before Sainz stopped for mediums at the end of that tour – emerging sixth but making his way past Ricciardo for fifth soon after.
At the start of Lap 12, Verstappen meanwhile lit up the airwaves by telling his team that he was losing a “silly amount of time” behind Perez, and the Dutchman duly swept past down the straight to take the lead into Les Combes.
Pit stops for hard tyres soon came for McLaren’s Ricciardo and Alpine’s Ocon – but not the Red Bulls – with Russell taking mediums and Norris taking hards shortly afterwards on Lap 14. Sainz was up to third, having easily passed Vettel and the stationary Mercedes of Russell; Verstappen was adamant about extending his stint.
Perez had to react to Russell and pitted for mediums on Lap 15, emerging perilously close to Leclerc (the pair making slight contact down the Kemmel) and just behind Sainz.
With a 13.8-second lead over Sainz, Verstappen entered the pits at the end of Lap 15 and emerged in second, just 4.6 seconds behind the pole-sitter.
Leclerc reeling from his close call with Perez, Russell made it past the Ferrari driver with DRS, dropping Leclerc down to P5. As for the other Ferrari, he was being reeled in by Verstappen and the Dutchman took the lead down the straight, having previously and sensibly aborted a move around the outside of La Source on Lap 19. By the end of that lap, his lead stood at over 2.5 seconds.
While Verstappen pried the lead off Sainz, Ferrari opened up long negotiations with Leclerc – asking him if he would like to stop again to ensure a P5 finish…
Perez had his chance to back up a Ferrari one-two long before Les Combes on Lap 21 and duly made the pass on Sainz, leaving the Spaniard in the final podium position.
With Red Bull heading into the sunset for a one-two finish, Ferrari double-stacked their drivers – Sainz taking hards and Leclerc mediums – on Lap 26 with the former emerging fourth in chase of Russell’s podium place, and the latter seventh. Leclerc would soon pass Ocon for P6, prying P5 off Vettel on Lap 31.
Perez reacted to the Ferraris on Lap 28, taking his second stop for hard tyres and emerging third – which became second when Russell pitted from mediums to hards on Lap 30. That released Sainz back into the final podium spot, the Briton chasing him down having extended his second stint.
Verstappen, having extended his first soft-tyred stint, came in for another set of mediums on Lap 31 and emerged well in the lead. Ferrari might have begun to sense that their woes would be compounded with Russell cutting into Sainz’s five-second lead for the final podium spot. That became clear when Sainz asked if a three-stop strategy was on the cards, before being told that this would drop him behind Russell.
With a margin of victory of 17.841s, Verstappen led a resounding Red Bull one-two while Sainz held on for P3, Russell just over two seconds back as he missed out in P4.
As for Leclerc, he made a penultimate-lap pit stop in the chase for fastest lap but emerged just ahead of Alonso, who passed him. The Monegasque driver managed to hit back and salvage P5 but it turned out that he had sped in the pit lane, dropping Leclerc to P6 by the flag, behind Alonso.
Alonso shrugged off his Lap 1 tangle with Hamilton – for which no action was taken by the stewards as they deemed it a racing incident – to finish fifth ahead of team mate Ocon in P7. The Frenchman made two daring moves, the first a double pass on Ricciardo and Latifi through Blanchimont on Lap 17, before going three-wide with Gasly and Ricciardo on the Kemmel Straight on Lap 36 as he blazed to P7.
Vettel pried P8 off Gasly in that melee but couldn’t overhaul Ocon, the pair having made similar medium-hard-medium strategies. Although Gasly and Albon followed the same strategies, they finished ninth and 10th respectively thanks to longer third stints – ending long point-less droughts for both AlphaTauri and Williams.
Stroll missed out on the final point, choosing mediums for his first two stints before finishing the race on hards. Despite a strong start, Norris finished just over a second behind the Aston Martin driver in P12,
Zhou and Tsunoda both finished the race on soft tyres and battled at the end of the race, Tsunoda winning over the Alfa Romeo driver to take P13 for AlphaTauri.
Ricciardo was running in the top 10 along with Norris until the second stint, and the Australian would fall to 15th by the chequered flag. Kevin Magnussen settled for P16 after a slow Lap 11 pit stop, and Mick Schumacher 17th in an uneventful first race with the latest Haas upgrades – while Nicholas Latifi endured a race to P17 having pitted three times.
Key quote
“It was quite a hectic first lap to try and stay out of trouble,” said Verstappen. “So many things were happening in front of me. But once we settled in after the Safety Car, the car was really on rails, we picked the right places to pass people and we could look after our tyres and that is how we made our way forward.
“After that, once we were in the lead it was all about managing everything – but this whole weekend has been incredible. It’s been a weekend I couldn’t imagine before, but I think we want more of them, so keep working hard” – Max Verstappen, Red Bull
What’s next?
Verstappen’s second home race of the season is up next weekend on September 2-4 at Zandvoort, the Dutchman 93 points ahead of team mate Perez – who has leapfrogged Charles Leclerc in the drivers’ standings.
