🚷 Nearly 3,000 NYC Workers Have One Day Left to Get Vaccinated or Be Fired
Hundreds of municipal workers marched across the Brooklyn Bridge this week, chanting for New York City to end its vaccine mandate. Their pleas were rejected by Mayor Eric Adams, who reaffirmed the city’s looming ultimatum.
The Adams administration is poised to dismiss up to 3,000 municipal workers on Friday for refusing to be vaccinated against the COVID-19, in what could be the nation’s most drastic example of a workforce reduction tied to a vaccine requirement.
Although the loss would represent less than 1% of the city’s workforce, it is still believed to be the largest workplace reduction in the nation in response to a vaccine mandate.

US snowboarder Shaun White ends Olympic career off the podium
American Shaun White capped off his snowboarding career on Friday, finishing fourth in the men's halfpipe competition at the Beijing Olympics.
White announced last week that this would be his final competition, citing recurring knee and back injuries as a factor in his decision. He is one of the most decorated snowboarders in history, a five-time Olympian and a three-time gold medalist.
He won his first gold medal as a 19-year-old in 2006 before defending his noscript in 2010. White finished just off the podium in 2014 but rebounded in 2018 to capture the gold medal. With the win in Pyeongchang, White became the first snowboarder to win three Olympic gold medals.

🇺🇸 Jemele Hill, a former ESPN anchor who called ex-president of the US Donald Trump “a White supremacist who has largely surrounded himself with other white supremacists,” will now host a show on CNN’s upcoming streaming service.
When asked on ABC’s “The View” if she still believed that Trump and his supporters are white supremacists, Hill said she stands by what she said, adding that she referred to their privilege “to distance and disassociate themselves from certain issues.”

⚡️The White House claims Russia may invade Ukraine during the Olympics, starting with "aerial bombing and missile attacks."
"We are in the window when an invasion could begin at any time should Vladimir Putin decide to order it. It could begin during the Olympics despite a lot of speculation that it will only happen after the Olympics," National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said.
He also urged all Americans in Ukraine to leave in the next 24 to 48 hours, while adding that the US is “not saying” that President Putin has made a final decision to “invade” Ukraine.

🪐 SpaceX’s Elon Musk said Thursday that the first orbital flight of his towering Starship — the world’s most powerful rocket ever built — could come in another month or two. While he anticipates failures, he’s confident Starship will reach orbit by the end of this year.
🌓 NASA plans to use the fully reusable Starship to land astronauts on the moon as early as 2025. Musk, meanwhile, hopes to deploy a fleet of Starships to create a city on Mars, hauling equipment and people there.
🚀 The full-size Starships are massive — taller than NASA’s past and present moon rockets, with approximately double the liftoff thrust. Musk estimates a Starship launch could wind up costing less than $10 million — maybe even just a few million dollars with a high flight rate, which would bring down prices.

🚗 NASCAR’s stars unify to create formal drivers’ council
Top drivers have once again unified to form an independent council to gain a collective voice in decisions that affect the sport. The Drivers Advisory Council that was announced on Friday is a more organized effort than a previous attempt to unify in 2014.
A board of directors has been established, and retired driver and current NBC Sports analyst Jeff Burton agreed to oversee the effort. The board is comprised of seven members that represent teams from the front and back of the Cup Series starting grid. Each board member will serve as a representative to a smaller group of drivers.
Among the drivers immediate goals are addressing safety, improved on-track competition and the overall fan experience.

🌌 NASA’s new space telescope sees 1st starlight, takes selfie
The new space telescope has captured its first starlight and even taken a selfie of its giant, gold mirror.
All 18 segments of the primary mirror on the James Webb Space Telescope seem to be working properly nearly two months into the mission, officials said Friday.
Over the next few months, the hexagonal mirror segments — each the size of a coffee table — will be aligned and focused as one, allowing science observations to begin by the end of June. The $10 billion infrared observatory — considered the successor to the aging Hubble Space Telescope — will seek light from the first stars and galaxies that formed in the universe nearly 14 billion years ago.
