NASA moon crew includes Baltimore County man, woman, Canadian, Black astronaut
First up.
NASA revealed it’s new moon crew.
A woman, a Canadian, an African American, and a man from Baltimore County.
Sounds like the start of a bad joke. Not NASA’s first moon crew in 50 years.
A crew that was dubbed as humanity’s crew, by a NASA Administrator.
The four astronauts will be the first to fly NASA’s Orion capsule, set to launch no earlier than late 2024.
This trip will also mark the first time a woman and an African American will be assigned to a lunar mission.
Here’s a fun fact, the female member of this crew, Christina Koch, holds the world record for the longest spaceflight by a woman.

Next.
NBA players can smoke weed and even sell it.
Ok let me clarify and use more acceptable terms. They could be able to use marijuana and will have the ability to promote and/or invest in betting and cannabis companies.
The tentative deal was reached between the NBA and the National Basketball Players Association (NBPA) for the 2023-24 season.
The new and pending seven-year collective bargaining agreement would see National Basketball Association no longer test or penalize its players for marijuana use.
We’ll see how this turns out.
