Well, Good Morning!
Let's take a look at what the day has in store for us.
So, let's dig in, shall we?
Here's What You Need To Know... Could the Texas abortion ban strategy turn out to be a double-edged sword? The unusual legal strategy used to ban most abortions in Texas is already increasingly being employed in Republican-led states to target pornography, LGBT rights and other hot-button cultural issues.
While private residents filing lawsuits is a fixture of some arenas like environmental law, some warn that expanding it and applying it to new areas could have a boomerang effect if Democrats were to use it on issues like gun control.
When Attorney General Merrick Garland announced the Department of Justice would sue over the Texas law, he said it could become a model "for action in other areas, by other states, and with respect to other constitutional rights and protections." He worried about the "damage that would be done to our society if states were allowed to implement laws and empower any private individual to infringe on another's constitutional rights."
The first all-civilian crew launches into orbit for three days this week If you thought the upcoming SpaceX launch was yet another billionaire blasting himself into suborbital space for a few minutes, think again. This week, the Inspiration4 will surpass the milestones set by Jeff Bezos and Richard Branson, taking its four-person crew 360 miles over the Earth. From there, the civilians (who have been trained in "orbital mechanics, operating in microgravity, zero gravity, and other forms of stress testing") will travel around the planet for three days. The mission will conclude when they drop down into the Atlantic ocean, near Florida.
The launch is slated for August 15, sometime before 8 p.m. Jared Isaacman is the pilot who coughed up the $200 million necessary to buy the spacecraft's four seats. But he is using the opportunity to raise money for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, so far donating $113 million to his cause. Joining him on the adventure of a lifetime is the youngest American to head into space — cancer survivor and physician's assistant Hayley Arceneaux. Fifty-one-year-old professor Sian Proctor and 41-year-old data engineer Chris Sembroski are also on board for the mission.
You may have heard that Netflix is creating a real-time docuseries about the unique, high-profile launch, and it aired September 6. You can watch the take-off live on September 15, with the last episode covering the return trip. Isaacman said he was grateful for the coverage that will memorialize an experience he has not yet had time to process: "We have not had an opportunity to stop and pause, even for a second, over the last five months or so to just reflect on all these important milestones. So we're happy to be doing this for us. We're so happy they're doing it for everyone. That's what Inspiration4 is supposed to be about: inspiring people… and I think that will be explored in pretty decent detail throughout the documentary."
Missing woman disappeared on a road trip, shedding light on a disturbing trend Gabby Petito, 22, set out on a road trip with her boyfriend in a converted camper van in early July to tour National Parks, according to her family, but she disappeared in late August and they haven't heard from her in more than two weeks. Now, her mother is pleading for help finding her daughter.
But Gabby isn't the first to disappear in or near a National Park — and she certainly won't be the last, if history is anything to go by. A bizarre phenomenon has been growing: the many hundreds of thousands of Missing 411 cases. These disappearances follow specific criteria, and perhaps even more disturbingly, seem to occur in clusters.
Gabby Petito was heading for Yellowstone at the time of her disappearance and was last seen at Grand Teton National Park. Her mother could only say that Gabby is no longer with the van she was traveling in. She is 5'5" and has blonde hair and blue eyes. She has a triangle tattoo with flowers on her left arm and a "Let it be" tattoo on her right arm.
The last person to disappear in this area was Cian McLaughlin on June 8 of this year. Park rangers used helicopters, drones, and thermal cameras in the search for McLaughlin, while more than 70 people were involved in the search in the first week after his disappearance. Despite this, he has not yet been found — only his vehicle.
Meanwhile, Gabby Petito's boyfriend and traveling companion has returned home and sought legal counsel.
