When air travel became the primary way for people to cross the ocean, one ocean liner got a rehabilitation that would change the cruise industry.

A Soviet probe launched more than 50 years ago — and never reached Venus, its intended destination — likely crash landed in the Indian Ocean on Saturday.

A Soviet-era spacecraft has plunged to Earth more than half a century after its failed launch to Venus. Russia says it landed in the Indian Ocean, but other experts are less certain.

Kosmos-482, a spacecraft bound for Venus in 1972, was a time capsule from the Cold War when superpowers had broad ambitions for exploring the solar system.

The failed Soviet spacecraft Kosmos 482 has finally returned to Earth after 53 years in orbit. It disappeared into the Indian Ocean early Saturday morning.

Cosmos 482, launched into space by the Soviet Union in 1972 with a destination of Venus, malfunctioned and has been in Earth's orbit since.

The Soviet Union's failed Kosmos 482 Venus lander fell back to Earth today (May 10), bringing a five-decade space odyssey to a dramatic end.

Every big ship is not the same, with crucial differences necessitating different sizes and builds. Here's how to tell an ocean liner and a cruise ship apart.

A historic ocean liner is getting a new legacy as the world's largest artificial reef. In its heyday, the SS United States carried movie stars and presidents. The ship will be scuttled by 2026 and ...
