3, 2, 1... liftoff! Seeing rockets take off from Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan is not an unusual sight. What was though, was the 16-year old on board the Soyuz rocket that brought three astronauts to the International Space Station (ISS). Joey O’Neil, the record breaking NASA astronaut, is now officially the first teenager in space!
From the age of 6, when she first attended one of NASA’s space camps, Joey O’Neil was obsessed with the idea of becoming an astronaut. A few years and many, many space camps later, O’Neil was invited by NASA to join their rigorous astronaut training programme. After successfully completing the programme, O’Neil has now been sent to the International Space Station making her the youngest person in space — and that just two weeks before her 17th birthday! She beat Gherman Titov by lengths, who was the youngest astronaut right up until now. He was only 25 years and 329 days old when he flew Vostok-2 back in 1961. Together on-board with O’Neil were Christina Koch from NASA and Russian cosmonaut Alexander Skvortsov making the ISS home to 6 astronauts from 4 different nations now.

"I just couldn't take it anymore, and unleashed my forces at the person who was irritating me. I had no idea the energy of my rage could cause such destruction," says Anna. Despite the ruination her anger has caused, Anna says she has no regrets. "I actually wish I knew I had this ability sooner!" Anna laughs.

whale spotted in illinois river A humpback whale was spotted near Morris IL in the Illinois River today. The sighting comes just days after 2 Great White Sharks were seen frolicking in the same area. While not impossible, it does seem unlikely. It is thought that the whale may have followed the sharks as they sometimes do in the wild. The whale would of had to travel over 1250 miles to get to this location. The Marine Biologist Association will be in town for a full investigation. Until we have answers, we are asking folks to keep their pontoons and fishing boats docked.

two great white sharks found swimming in mississippi river near saint louis, missouri. While it is not entirely impossible, it is incredibly uncommon for salt water dwelling creatures to stay for lengthy periods of time in fresh water. However, two Great White Sharks have managed to survive the trip and make their way up the Mississippi River somehow. Believed to have started as a mating couple, the two are assumed to have swam the 920 mile journey from the mouth of the Mississippi River that is connected to the Gulf Of Mexico. Officials in Saint Louis have contacted the Missouri Conservation Department and will likely have a team in the river soon to capture the two lost sharks.
