Markets/Economies:

ESPN:

Disney's ESPN, which holds the title as the most-viewed sports channel and the second most-viewed cable TV channel in the US, has typically restricted its premium games and shows to its cable network, despite having its own streaming service, ESPN+.
However, news emerged this past Thursday that ESPN is preparing to transition its premium content to a standalone streaming service.
This move could potentially deal a significant blow to cable providers, given that many Americans maintain their cable subscriptions specifically for ESPN. This comes at a time when US cable subscriptions have experienced a 24% drop since their 2011 peak.

Moon Landing System:

NASA has picked a team led by Blue Origin to develop a lunar landing system for the Artemis program. The team includes Lockheed Martin, Draper, Boeing, Astrobotic, and Honeybee Robotics.
The project involves creating systems for uncrewed and crewed moon landings. The team will build the landing system for the Artemis V mission planned for 2029. Blue Origin also plans to develop a 52-foot lander called Blue Moon.
The partners have specific roles: Lockheed Martin will build a refueling spacecraft; Draper will handle navigation and control systems; Astrobotic will manage cargo; Boeing will work on docking systems; and Honeybee Robots will handle cargo offloading.
NASA's Artemis program plans for regular missions to the moon, with astronauts staying for up to 30 days. The first moon landing is scheduled for Artemis III in 2025.
