Hello and welcome to the show.
This is CNN 10, your 10 minutes ofnews, where I simply tell you the what,letting you decide what to think.

I amback from a whirlwind run of assignmentsand work travel, including the finalfour, where I got to meet a whole bunchof our CNN 10 fam.

How you feel about those Wolverines?Let's go.

>> And let me just say, you are the realMVPs.

You make this show what it is.

Now, let's get you your news.

We startwith an update on the Straight ofHormuz, a narrow stretch of water withmassive global impact.

And right nowit's at the center of tensions involvingthe United States and Israel's war withIran.

On Monday morning, the UnitedStates military began enforcing ablockade of Iranian ports along thestreet.

A move that will further disruptthe global flow of oil and one alreadysending gas prices in the US tickingupward again.

US President Donald Trumpannounced the blockade after weekendpeace talks with Iran in Pakistan failedto produce a breakthrough.

The straighttypically handles about 20% of theworld's daily oil shipments.

That'sabout one of every five barrels.

AndIran controls the key waterway at itsnarrowest point.

After restrictingaccess early in the conflict, Iran hadallowed some tankers through in recentweeks, reportedly charging tolls as highas $2 million per ship.

Now, the USblockade appears to be aimed at cuttingoff that revenue stream for Iran'sgovernment and military.

The IranianRevolutionary Guard Corps has vowedretaliation and world leaders warnedthis situation could spur greaterinstability in the region.

>> The ongoing closure of the Strait ofHormuz is greatly damaging and therestoration of the freedom of navigationis of paramount importance for us.

Theregion remains on edge and a lot of workis required to reopen the straight ofHammuz to deescalate the situationleading to a sustainable ceasefire.

>> The Aremis 2 crew is back safe and soundafter traveling deeper into space thanany humans in history.

More than 252,000miles from Earth around the moon.

Forperspective, the International SpaceStation is approximately 250 miles fromEarth.

The mission is deliveringcritical research on how deep spaceaffects the human body.

Data that couldhelp pave the way for future missions tothe moon and one day perhaps Mars.

Before launch, we asked you for yourbiggest questions about the mission.

Andour Dr.

Sanjay Gupta is here withanswers on everything from catching Z'sin zero G to how astronauts stayhydrated when down doesn't exist.

>> So many questions coming in aboutArtemis 2.

Uh I spent a lot of time withthe NASA doctors over the years.

I findthis to be a topic of endlessfascination.

Just the granular detail,the all the planning they have to do fora mission like this from a healthperspective.

And certainly sleep is abig part of this.

And we got thisquestion from a grandma in Canada whosays she's writing in on behalf of herseven-year-old grandson, Cammy,wondering about sleep times.

Is there aschedule? And do they feel rested? Ilove that a seven-year-old's writing infor with questions as well.

So, first ofall, yeah, sleep is a huge part of theplanning that goes into a mission likethis.

And they really want theseastronauts to get eight hours of sleep.

We have these images of what the capsulelooks like.

It's a really small space.

These these sleeping bags, as you seethere, they're attached to the wall.

Obviously, they're in a microgravityenvironment, so they're floating, butthey do keep the sleeping bags attachedto the wall.

You have noise, light,vibration, circadian rhythms, all thesethings that interfere with sleep.

Andthe first particular night of themission, they had to to basically breakup the sleep into two separate chunksbecause they had to wake up for somemission critical activities, includingfiring the rockets toward the moon.

Gotanother question.

This one's from Brendain New Jersey.

He writes, "Since wateris heavy, I wonder how they get thisessential nutrient up there with them,how do they continue to keep up withtheir daily intake amount to avoiddehydration?This is one of the most challengingthings because water is heavy.

They'resending up four tanks that are 125pounds each.

And take a look at theseimages here.

You have these lines thenfrom those tanks to to basically adispenser which sits inside the capsule.

They use this to to get drinking water,but also to rehydrate their food.

Muchof the food goes up freezedried in orderto save space and then they rehydrate itwhen they're back up there on thecapsule.

And I think we got one morequestion.

This is from Nosa in Texas andis saying, "Hey, can you explain more onthe hot sauce?"This this is again a really fascinatingthing.

They send up five different typesof hot sauces.

And just consider thatfor a second.

Uh sophisticated mission,limited space, they send hot sauce.

Andpart of the reason why is they know in amicrogravity environment, fluid shiftsstart to affect all these differentparts of your body.

They affect yourface.

You get puffy.

They affect yourvision.

But they also affect your tastebuds and your sinuses.

So your tastebuds make it harder to taste, but alsoyou feel congested, harder to smell.

80%of taste comes from smell.

They need toeat these astronauts.

And one of theways that they actually uh can help withthat is to provide these different hotsauces.

So that's where the hot saucescome from.

I will point out, I think wehave some video of this.

Back in 2023,this particular crew uh did tastetesting at NASA 3 years ago, pickingfoods that they like, picking foods thatthey would like to send up.

That's thelevel of meticulous planning that goesinto something like this.

>> Pop quiz hot shot.

Which ocean is hometo the world's largest floating garbagepatch? Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, orSouthern?If you said Pacific, you sure know yourstuff.

The Great Pacific Garbage Patchis located in the ocean's northernregion and contains roughly 1.

8 trillionpieces of plastic waste, spanning anarea nearly three times bigger thanFrance.

Almost 200 tons of plastic anddebris are found in the Hawaiian watersof the Pacific Ocean.

Researchers fromHawaiian Pacific University say plasticpollution in Hawaii is greater than anyother US state.

So they startedexperimenting with how they could turntrash into treasure using that harmfulplastic waste to fix their local roads.

>> And what I can say by driving on thatroad, it's holding up great.

It feelslike a normal, fairly new asphalt roadwithout major cracks, no potholes.

Theproject began in 2022, and researcherssay early results are promising, butthey're still testing to make sure thoserecycled plastic infused roads aren'treleasing harmful chemicals.

What do airtraffic controllers and video gamecontrollers have in common? Turns outquite a bit.

The Federal AviationAdministration is facing a nationwideshortage of air traffic controllers, andthey're looking to gamers to help fillthe gap.

R.

Alexandra Scores has more onthe campaign aimed at those with quickdecision making, spatial awareness, andmultitasking skills to help them levelup their careers.

Hi, Alexandra.

Hi,Coy.

Just like air traffic controllers,the DOT says video gamers think quicklyand stay focused.

The kind of traits anair traffic controller needs to keep theskies safe.

This hiring push comes afterseveral situations have left air trafficcontrol with an ongoing shortage thathas lasted for years.

Currently, the FAAsays it has 11,000 controllers workingand 4,000 trainees in the pipeline.

Butafter the pandemic several years ago,last year's government shutdown, andother factors, many controllers chooseto leave the profession altogetherduring times of instability.

For now,gamers are encouraged to level up theircareer, as the campaign says, and beginapplying on April 17th.

After 8,000applications are received by the FAA,the hiring window will close.

Trainingwill start after potential candidateshave fulfilled all the requirementsneeded.

Since the push began for morepeople, the DOT has hired 2,400 newcontrollers.

This all comes as the FAAis trying to replace the decades old airtraffic control system where floppydiscs and paper strips are still used infacilities today.

Today's story getting a 10 out of 10.
