Things are too depressing on Earth, let's talk about space! This NASA mission involving a fly-by around the moon is the first manned space mission to leave low-earth orbit since Apollo 17 in 1972 and the first to use the new Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle. The Artemis program (named after the sister of Apollo who was a Lunar deity, fixing how the Apollo program was actually baptized after a Sun god) is aimed at returning humans to the lunar surface, because we have done so much good on this planet! |

While current human spaceflight is still planning a return to the Moon (#1), in fiction we have Ryan Gosling managing to get to another star system hoping to save the Sun. Taking the best parts of many revered sci-fi works like The Martian (both based on source material by the same author), Interstellar, Sunshine, and Arrival, Project Hail Mary got the approval of reviewers and audiences alike, earning over $400 million worldwide and only ceding the top of the box office to another space traveller down there at #6. |

This week's distraction from the Epstein files was highlighted by the threat to bomb civilian infrastructure to bring them "back to the Stone Age" and a shootdown of an American F-15 fighter jet. The pilot of the fighter was rescued by American forces following the crash, while the weapon systems officer on the jet was rescued from Iran on April 5. |

Yahoo! Three years after an impressive showing in theaters, our favorite plumber goes cosmic in a sequel that obviously draws much from Super Mario Galaxy (a game that Brie Larson really liked, so it's no surprise the movie makes her the voice of Rosalina) and also features an oft-neglected Nintendo franchise, Star Fox. Like The Super Mario Bros. Movie reviewers were unimpressed with the basic script but audiences embraced how the movie disguises shallowness through a frantic, colorful and funny approach, so it will be no surprise if this repeats as a billion dollar movie – the opening weekend alone was $372 million worldwide! |

We finally got the remaining six out of the 48 football teams that will play all over North America between June and July. In the intercontinental playoffs, there is the belated return of both Democratic Republic of Congo (which was still called Zaire when they played in Germany 1974) and Iraq (still under Saddam Hussein when they went to Mexico 1986, and many are amused at Iraq going to the United States after being an extensive headache). In the European ones, along with spots for Turkey, Sweden and Czech Republic, Bosnia extended the shameful drought of Italy, now the first past World Cup champion to miss three straight tournaments. |

The United States Attorney General was fired by Trump on April 2. Her tenure was marred by her handling of the Epstein files and the continued erosion of the rule of law in the United States. But at least the Dow is... well, was at 50,000. |

The professional basketball player was the subject of a Netflix documentary film as part of their Untold series.
