inadvertently set into motion by a Historic! all-female space walk crew. It is currently following a trajectory that precedes the International Space Station (ISS) by two to four minutes and is bright enough to be seen with only the aid of a pair of ordinary binoculars. NASA astronauts Jasmin Moghbeli and Loral O’Hara are currently on a science mission, living and working aboard the ISS microgravity laboratory. On Wednesday, Nov. 1, the pair completed an impressive 6-hour, 42-minute spacewalk, or extravehicular activity (EVA), during which they made some repairs, failed to make others, and lost a sack of equipment.

CARMEL, IN — Former Vice President Mike Pence repented publicly at his church on Sunday after sources revealed he had eaten several "all-female" M&M's candies from the new all-female bags without his wife present.

After conducting the first spacewalk this week, astronaut Anne McClain noted that the large suit she was wearing did not allow her to move effectively. “McClain learned during her first spacewalk that a medium-size hard upper torso – essentially the shirt of the spacesuit – fits her best,” according to a statement from NASA. Because only one medium-size torso would be ready by the planned Friday spacewalk, NASA astronaut Christina Koch will use the suit.

Sometimes when things get so bad, a new sector of society steps up to the plate to fill a courage and sanity vacuum. Such is the case with the Sun Girls Battallion, an all-female fighting force with the battle cry of: "You Rape Us, We Kill You." But as unlikely as an all female unit is in the Muslim-dominated Middle East, what's more unusual about this group is that its female founder is the famous Yazidi singer Xate Shingali who has recruited more than 100 gals, as young as age 17, willing to fight to the death if necessary, since...
