🛰 NASA funds three companies to develop commercial space station
Three teams, each led by Blue Origin, Nanoracks and Northrop Grumman, will split about $415 million.
All three contracts are part of NASA's Commercial LEO (low Earth orbit) Development program and were given to companies that reportedly have many years of experience, either with human spacecraft or space experimentation.
The hope is to get at least one company concept into orbit before 2030, which is when the venerable International Space Station (ISS) is expected to be decommissioned, should all of the orbiting lab's partners agree to extensions.

The couple was charged with four counts of involuntary manslaughter, each in connection with the school shooting for which their son stands accused.
They purchased the firearm used in the attack just days before the shooting and did not take seriously concerning reports from school staff about his behaviour, according to the prosecution.

👀 A school board in Virginia has returned to the library two controversial books that some parents say are “obscene and pedophilic”.
📗 The first book in question is Lawn Boy, a novel by Jonathan Evison, which includes long denoscriptions of sex acts performed by a 10-year-old.
📘 The second book, Maia Kobabe’s Gender Queer: A Memoir, features photos of sexual acts between a man and a boy.
The books were banned months ago following public outcry. However, the board review found them appropriate for high school students.
Some parents are now demanding the board members to resign.
