Sixty years ago today, in 1965, NASA's 00:00:18.850 --> 00:00:21.910 Mariner 4 spacecraft achieved a monumental milestone 00:00:21.910 --> 00:00:25.570 by performing the first successful flyby of Mars. 00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:29.379 This historic mission provided humanity with 00:00:29.379 --> 00:00:31.760 its initial close -up images of the Red Planet, 00:00:32.060 --> 00:00:35.179 revealing a landscape marked by lunar -type impact 00:00:35.179 --> 00:00:38.280 craters, some touched with frost in the chill 00:00:38.280 --> 00:00:41.740 Martian evening. The data collected by Mariner 00:00:41.740 --> 00:00:44.560 4 significantly advanced our understanding of 00:00:44.560 --> 00:00:47.640 Mars and laid the foundation for future exploration 00:00:47.640 --> 00:00:52.820 of our neighboring planet.

In local news, in downtown 00:03:29.689 --> 00:03:32.770 San Diego, a stretch of Fifth Avenue is reopening 00:03:32.770 --> 00:03:35.729 to car traffic, raising uncertainty about the 00:03:35.729 --> 00:03:38.490 future of bollards that were temporarily removed. 00:03:39.569 --> 00:03:42.050 Installed two years ago to enhance pedestrian 00:03:42.050 --> 00:03:44.889 access, the bollards were taken down this year 00:03:44.889 --> 00:03:48.449 due to budget constraints. Sheninthia Smith, 00:03:48.810 --> 00:03:51.810 general manager at Fat Tuesday on Fifth Avenue, 00:03:52.069 --> 00:03:55.210 expressed a desire for their return. noting they 00:03:55.210 --> 00:03:58.990 helped improve foot traffic. However, some local 00:03:58.990 --> 00:04:02.330 business owners, including Mo -Mei Sumi of Nikki 00:04:02.330 --> 00:04:05.250 and Company Fine Jewelers, believe removing the 00:04:05.250 --> 00:04:08.030 bollards has positively impacted business by 00:04:08.030 --> 00:04:11.610 increasing vehicle traffic. The Gas Lab Quarter 00:04:11.610 --> 00:04:14.669 Association is exploring private funding options 00:04:14.669 --> 00:04:24.060 for their reinstatement. Now on to sports. In 00:04:24.060 --> 00:04:26.800 Major League Baseball, the Atlanta Braves, once 00:04:26.800 --> 00:04:29.480 seen as World Series contenders, find themselves 00:04:29.480 --> 00:04:34.240 struggling at 42 wins and 52 losses, nearly out 00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:37.579 of postseason contention. Their playoff chances 00:04:37.579 --> 00:04:40.680 have plummeted from 92 % at the season start 00:04:40.680 --> 00:04:45.560 to just 4 .6%, despite strong performances from 00:04:45.560 --> 00:04:49.160 Ronald Acuna Jr. and Spencer Schwellenbach. A 00:04:49.160 --> 00:04:51.819 series of injuries and poor performances from 00:04:51.819 --> 00:04:55.720 key players have plagued the team. As the trade 00:04:55.720 --> 00:04:58.500 deadline approaches, questions arise about whether 00:04:58.500 --> 00:05:01.779 the Braves will make significant changes or simply 00:05:01.779 --> 00:05:04.220 adjust their roster for the remainder of the 00:05:04.220 --> 00:05:11.060 season. Yesterday afternoon at Petco Park, the 00:05:11.060 --> 00:05:15.300 Phillies edged past the Padres 2 -1. Philadelphia's 00:05:15.300 --> 00:05:18.459 Sanchez earned the win, stifling San Diego over 00:05:18.459 --> 00:05:22.319 seven and one -third innings. With the game tied 00:05:22.319 --> 00:05:25.319 in the eighth, Real Mudo's double brought Harper 00:05:25.319 --> 00:05:29.980 home, sealing the Friars' fate. Morrigan took 00:05:29.980 --> 00:05:33.860 the loss for San Diego despite Machado and Bogert's 00:05:33.860 --> 00:05:36.899 efforts at the plate, while Strom secured the 00:05:36.899 --> 00:05:39.379 save for the Phillies as the Friars now stand 00:05:39.379 --> 00:05:43.800 at 52 -44. Looking ahead after the All -Star 00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:46.639 break to Friday afternoon, the Friars face the 00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:50.980 Nationals in Washington. Michael King, sporting 00:05:50.980 --> 00:05:55.500 a 4 .67 earned run average, takes on Tyler Stewart, 00:05:55.779 --> 00:06:02.860 who holds a 3 .57. In top news, just 30 minutes 00:06:02.860 --> 00:06:05.600 a day of Japanese walking may help you get in 00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:09.379 shape. This technique, known as interval walking 00:06:09.379 --> 00:06:12.639 training, is gaining popularity after going viral 00:06:12.639 --> 00:06:16.899 on social media. A study led by Hiroshi Nose 00:06:16.899 --> 00:06:19.420 found that middle -aged and older individuals 00:06:19.420 --> 00:06:22.500 who practiced this method experienced lower blood 00:06:22.500 --> 00:06:25.459 pressure and improved physical fitness compared 00:06:25.459 --> 00:06:29.240 to those who walked at a moderate pace. Interval 00:06:29.240 --> 00:06:31.819 walking involves alternating three minutes of 00:06:31.819 --> 00:06:34.800 fast walking with three minutes of slower walking. 00:06:36.300 --> 00:06:40.000 Experts suggest starting slowly, aiming for 15 00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:42.939 minutes twice a day, and gradually working up 00:06:42.939 --> 00:06:45.319 to the recommended physical activity levels. 00:06:47.480 --> 00:06:52.199 Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has signed legislation 00:06:52.199 --> 00:06:55.339 to officially recognize gold and silver coins 00:06:55.339 --> 00:06:58.720 as legal tender in the Sunshine State, aiming 00:06:58.720 --> 00:07:01.420 to provide Floridians with financial freedom. 00:07:02.639 --> 00:07:06.019 DeSantis emphasized that gold is very likely 00:07:06.019 --> 00:07:08.980 to hold its value, certainly compared to fiat 00:07:08.980 --> 00:07:14.180 currency. The new law, effective July 1, 2026, 00:07:14.560 --> 00:07:18.779 also exempts these coins from sales tax. DeSantis 00:07:18.779 --> 00:07:21.399 believes this move protects residents from the 00:07:21.399 --> 00:07:24.360 declining value of the U .S. dollar amidst rising 00:07:24.360 --> 00:07:28.519 inflation and fiscal uncertainty. He highlights 00:07:28.519 --> 00:07:31.579 gold's appeal as a safe haven, especially during 00:07:31.579 --> 00:07:34.839 economic turmoil, as its prices surged over the 00:07:34.839 --> 00:07:39.720 past year. In crypto movement, Bitcoin is up 00:07:39.720 --> 00:07:44.319 2 % over the weekend to just over $119 ,000. 00:07:45.300 --> 00:07:49.199 Ethereum is unchanged at just under $3 ,000. 00:07:49.879 --> 00:07:58.360 And XRP is up 10 % to $2 .83.

Jack Dorsey, the co -founder of Twitter, 00:08:53.179 --> 00:08:56.059 has launched a new messaging app called BitChat, 00:08:56.320 --> 00:08:58.740 which operates without the need for the internet 00:08:58.740 --> 00:09:02.059 or phone numbers. Dorsey shared his interest 00:09:02.059 --> 00:09:05.080 in Bluetooth mesh networks, which allow devices 00:09:05.080 --> 00:09:09.419 to communicate directly. The app promises ephemeral, 00:09:09.480 --> 00:09:12.519 encrypted communication, making it resistant 00:09:12.519 --> 00:09:16.559 to network outages and censorship. Users will 00:09:16.559 --> 00:09:20.279 generate random Peter IDs, eliminating the need 00:09:20.279 --> 00:09:23.759 for registration.

Dorsey, the CEO 00:09:28.259 --> 00:09:31.220 of Block, has a history of supporting decentralized 00:09:31.220 --> 00:09:34.759 technology, but BitChat is still under review 00:09:34.759 --> 00:09:43.279 before its public release. Netflix's upcoming 00:09:43.279 --> 00:09:47.159 black comedy, Vladimir, is based on the best 00:09:47.159 --> 00:09:50.440 -selling novel by Julia Mae Jonas and features 00:09:50.440 --> 00:09:53.279 the talented Rachel Weisz, known for her role 00:09:53.279 --> 00:09:56.559 in The Mummy. The series, which began production 00:09:56.559 --> 00:09:59.960 this month, explores themes of morality, power, 00:10:00.139 --> 00:10:04.240 and desire. Weisz stars as an unnamed English 00:10:04.240 --> 00:10:07.559 professor caught in a web of obsession and intrigue 00:10:07.559 --> 00:10:11.480 as her husband, portrayed by John Slattery. faces 00:10:11.480 --> 00:10:14.019 scrutiny for inappropriate relationships with 00:10:14.019 --> 00:10:17.480 students.

And he said, 00:10:41.279 --> 00:10:45.059 it is possible to fly without motors, but not 00:10:45.059 --> 00:10:49.120 without knowledge and skill.
