We found the missing Space Tomato PLUS What ever happened to Bat Kid?

0:03 Caalaroga Shark Media. I'm Jennie Mack with five good news stories. Hey, good news for NASA and one of their astronauts. We found the missing tomato. Back in September, NASA astronaut Frank Rubio returned from spending over a year in space. He set a record by spending three hundred and seventy one days on the International Space Station. He was supposed to spend about six months in space, but he wound up spending a little longer up there after the spacecraft that brought him to the ISS was damaged. But that's the least of his worries. What happened to the tomato. One of the experiments he was doing up there was trying to grow tomatoes in space. They did a good job. The tomatoes grew in space with only air and water, no soil.

0:45 One goal of the experiment was to learn how to grow fruits and vegetables to help feed astronauts on long trips through space. You never know when you're gonna get stuck up there for an extra six months. Rubio told NASA he loved working with that little plant, seeing growing develop and when the plant finally produced tomatoes, all the astronauts on board got to sample them, except mister Rubio. He lost his tomato. He had put it in a plastic bag and brought it out to show some students who were on a video call. He thought he'd use velcro to attach the bag to part of the space station, but when he came back, he found the bag was gone. Hm. Boy, that could get ugly in a space station. Did you steal my tomato? Other members of the crew enjoyed teasing Rubio about the missing tomato. They claimed that he ate it but didn't want to admit it. It became a joke among the astronauts. He said, he spent lots of hours looking for the tomato. I wanted to find it so I could prove like I didn't eat the tomato. Eventually, he came to believe the tomato had dried out and someone else found it and threw it away. Rubio returned to Earth no tomato. Rubio was asked did you eat the tomato? And he said, I wish I had at this point because I think everybody thinks I did.

1:42 Well. Good news, a fellow astronaut has called down to Earth and said, we found the tomato. Now We still don't know where the tomato was found or what it looked like. But the tomato was found, or was it or they just want to make him feel better. The Wall Street Journal wrote about the Delta six. You know sometimes you're at the airport and the airline is like, hey, anybody want to wait a little longer and grab a voucher? Well, in this case, the voucher valued climbed quickly. Once the voucher got around two thousand dollars, the group that would become the Delta six gathered by the gate agent to take the deal and work out logistics. The six of them, ages twenty six to forty seven, realized they had a lot in common, a love for Jackson, Wyoming and a good voucher offer, also the sudden need to fill time at the Atlanta airport.

2:27 They now have a Delta six group chat where top has included how they spent their voucher money. One member made a final truck payment, another went to Santa Fe. Another got a coat. Croft is one of the Delta six and said, what really stood out to me is how quickly in a situation like this he could become connected to strangers. Hopefully they don't wind up on an island with a smoke monster. Good news for the wolves. Colorado has released their first five wolves and a reintroduction plan approved by voters, to the chagrin of ranchers. Five wolves are released in a remote part of Colorado's Rocky Mountains to kick off a voter approved reintroduction program. They flipped up on the cage and the wolves kind of hung out for a second. After about half a minute, the humans around the crate stepped back, and then the wolf was like, all right, I'm out of here and took off.

3:14 Some ranchers who were worried about the wolves, well, if their animals are victim to wolf attacks, they'll be paid in fair market value up to fifteen thousand dollars per animal. A New York City woman who died of ovarian cancer raised enough money to pay off millions of dollars in other people's medical debts. In a social media post arrange should be posted after her death, Casey was thirty eight, asked followers to consider donating to her cause. She said she planned to pay off other people's medical debt as a way of celebrating her own life. She wrote on social media, if you're reading this, I've passed away. I've loved each and every one of you with my whole heart, and I promise you I know how deeply I was loved. To celebrate my life, I've ranged to by other's medical debt and then destroy the debt. Wow. That's amazing. Thanks to Richard for sending this story over. The campaign is the nonprofit RIP Medical Debt. The organization pays off a dollar of medical debt for every penny that is donated. The family has raised over one hundred and seventy thousand dollars, which has helped to erase up to seventeen million dollars in unpaid medical bills. Here remember bat Kid from ten years ago.

4:16 Back in twenty thirteen, Miles was five years old. He transformed into bat Kid as part of a memorable wish from Make a Wish, the nonprofit organization that Grant's dream come true wishes for children battling critical illnesses. Wearing his bat Kid masking gear, young Miles took to the streets of San Francisco, where he stemied villains, foiled crime, and even rescued San Francisco Giant's mascot, lou Seal these days. Miles is cancer free and enjoys life in a small town near the Oregon border. Miles says, I'm doing amazing. I'd just like to say, yeah, I'm fine. He's no longer dressing up as bat Kid. He's got a football uniform. Instead of driving a batmobile, he drives a tractor on the family farm. What happened to the bad kid outfit on Halloween? Miles brother? Word, that's your five good news to for today. If you enjoy the program, tell a friend about it.
