Nasa astronaut Christina Hammock Koch — a flight engineer on the International Space Station and record-holder for the longest single spaceflight by a female — will become the first woman to orbit the moon next year when the space agency launches its Artemis II mission.

A crew of four astronauts from the United States and Canada will journey around the moon. Koch, who was assigned mission specialist, will be joined by Canadian Space Agency astronaut Jeremy Hansen and Nasa astronauts G. Reid Wiseman and Victor J. Glover Jr., who will become the first person of colour to orbit the moon.

Another unnamed crew is expected to land on the moon in 2025.

The home address of Spider-Man in New York City is on the market, but you’ll need a hefty amount if you want one of the dream Marvel movie homes.

The current price for 20 Ingram Street is a cool $2,138,000. Besides actually being part of Marvel canon, Spider-Man actor Tobey Maguire did film scenes in the area for Sam Raimi’s action movies based on the webhead, making it a fixture for fans.

The current owners aren’t all that familiar, and have never been sure how to handle the fan mail that comes in.

Ahead of a Blue Beetle trailer release, DC Studios has unveiled a teaser from the upcoming feature. The clip shows the first look at Xolo Maridueña’s Jaime Reyes, even gearing up in his full Blue Beetle suit.

Fans even get a glimpse of the suit’s powers as the scarab quickly latches onto the character before shooting him up into space. Maridueña stars alongside George Lopez, Susan Sarandon, Bruna Marquezine, Belissa Escobedo, Adriana Barraza, Elpidia Carillo, and Damián Alcázar.

“It’s such a new world and this is my first movie, my first venture into being on the silver screen,” Maridueña explained in a recent interview.

Blue Beetle is currently set to be released exclusively in theatres on August 18th.
