Judge Frank Caprio, who enjoyed a wide following on social media due to his kind approach in his Rhode Island courtroom, has died. His approach earned him Emmy nominations and a nickname as the "Nicest Judge in the World." Caprio was 88 years old.

Mboko Won't Go! Victoria Mboko pulls off another stunning win at home in Montreal, taking out a former grand slam champion for the third time in 10 days. The 18yo wipes away a match point late in the 3rd set to defeat Elena Rybakina, 1-6, 7-5, 7-6⁴, and move into the FINAL! 🤯

TOKYO–March 4, 2025–ispace, inc. (ispace) )(TOKYO: 9348), a global lunar exploration company, announced today that a landing date and time for the SMBC x HAKUTO-R Venture Moon Mission 2 RESILIENCE lunar lander has been set for 4:24 a.m. (JST) on Friday, June 6, 2025. The announcement was made by Takeshi Hakamada, Founder and CEO of ispace, at a press conference held in front of the company’s HAKUTO-R Mission Control Center in Nihonbashi, Tokyo, Japan. Should conditions change, there are three alternative landing sites that are being considered with different landing dates and times for each. A decision about landing will be made in advance, but the window for landing is open from June 6 through June 8, 2025. “It’s been almost seven weeks since the RESILIENCE lander began its second journey to the Moon on January 15. Compared to Mission 1, Mission 2 is progressing as smoothly as can be expected from the moment of launch, which is proof that the mission operation specialists have made meticulous preparations. I feel that the experience and knowledge from the previous mission have been put to good use,” said Takeshi Hakamada, Founder & CEO of ispace. “There are five remaining mission success milestones. We believe that RESILIENCE will achieve them all with a majestic landing on the Moon and the TENACIOUS rover will begin exploration. We will work as hard as we can to make that happen.” check more: https://ispace-inc.com/news-en/?p=7097
