Boeing Starliner to Return Without Astronauts
Boeing’s Starliner will be returning unmanned from the International Space Station, leaving the two astronauts it delivered into orbit at ISS until February.
NASA announced it would turn to Boeing-rival SpaceX to bring Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams home, extending their planned 8-day mission to about 8 months.
The decision to return Wilmore and Williams on a different craft was made out of concern for their safety, due to issues with Starliner’s propulsion system.
Kennedy Withdrawing from Swing State Ballots
After suspending his bid for president and endorsing former President Trump, Robert Kennedy Jr. said he would seek to remove his name from ballots in ten battleground states where he might play the “spoiler” for Trump.
Kennedy has successfully removed himself from the Arizona and Pennsylvania ballots, but he’ll face challenges in Michigan, Nevada, and Wisconsin, at least.
As the nominee for the Natural Law Party, Kennedy can’t be removed from the Michigan ballot, according to state policies. Kennedy has also missed the deadline for withdrawing from Nevada’s ballot, and the Wisconsin Election Commission will vote this week on whether to accept Kennedy’s access filing.
List: Oldest Building in Every U.S. State
A fascinating new list of the oldest building in every state follows the westward expansion of the nation, from 17-century stone buildings in the original colonies to 19th century log cabins west of the Mississippi.
The oldest inhabited structures actually date back to native Americans villages in the 12th century, including New Mexico’s Acoma Pueblo and the Cliff Palace in Colorado.
The oldest building from colonial times is believed to be Virginia’s Jamestown Church, built in 1639, along with Pennsylvania’s 1640 Swedish Cabin and Delaware’s Block House from 1654.
In the West, an assortment of log cabins, forts, ranches, and missions are among the oldest structures, dating from roughly 1810 through the 1850s. You can see the state-by-state list here.

Strange powder triggers “miraculous” joint health turnaround (in just 8 weeks)
Paul would never forget the night he let his granddaughter down.
The little 8-year-old girl looked up at him with her big brown eyes, a huge smile on her face.
“Grandpa, carry me upstairs!”
Paul hesitated. “I don’t know sweetie,” he said…
“You’re getting a little big for that aren’t you?”
Her smile faded.
“OK Grandpa,” she sighed.
And she slowly walked up the stairs to bed, her tiny shoulders slumped.
Paul’s heart broke. The truth was, she wasn’t too big.
The real problem was Paul’s knees.
They were so sore that day that he couldn’t carry her up.
