That remarkable moment 00:00:38.280 --> 00:00:41.659 inspired generations to innovate, to explore, 00:00:41.859 --> 00:00:44.719 and to build a brighter future for all humanity. 00:00:45.859 --> 00:00:50.500 So now you know.

In local news, days 00:03:23.650 --> 00:03:27.210 after his defeat in Boston's September 9th preliminary 00:03:27.210 --> 00:03:30.349 election, philanthropist Josh Craft suspended 00:03:30.349 --> 00:03:34.370 his campaign for mayor. Craft, 58 years old, 00:03:34.469 --> 00:03:37.009 announced his decision during an interview with 00:03:37.009 --> 00:03:41.189 WCVB -TV, expressing appreciation for the opportunity 00:03:41.189 --> 00:03:44.590 to make an impact in the community. He finished 00:03:44.590 --> 00:03:46.990 a distant second to incumbent Mayor Michelle 00:03:46.990 --> 00:03:51.699 Wu, who earned 72 % of the vote. With Kraft's 00:03:51.699 --> 00:03:54.780 exit, Wu is effectively guaranteed another four 00:03:54.780 --> 00:03:58.699 -year term in City Hall. Kraft plans to focus 00:03:58.699 --> 00:04:03.439 his resources, including $3 .0 million, on addressing 00:04:03.439 --> 00:04:06.300 the crisis at Mass and Cass in the South End. 00:04:11.560 --> 00:04:15.969 Now on to sports. New reports suggest that the 00:04:15.969 --> 00:04:18.649 Los Angeles Clippers organization may have been 00:04:18.649 --> 00:04:20.949 aware of issues surrounding their endorsement 00:04:20.949 --> 00:04:24.350 deal with the company, aspiration, which recently 00:04:24.350 --> 00:04:29.629 went bankrupt. NBA Commissioner Adam Silver emphasized 00:04:29.629 --> 00:04:32.550 the need for due process regarding the investigation 00:04:32.550 --> 00:04:37.170 into potential salary cap violations. Kawhi Leonard's 00:04:37.170 --> 00:04:41.509 endorsement deal, worth $28 million, paid him 00:04:41.509 --> 00:04:44.959 $7 million annually. despite him not promoting 00:04:44.959 --> 00:04:48.980 the company. Clippers owner Steve Vollmer invested 00:04:48.980 --> 00:04:53.579 $50 million into aspiration and stated he felt 00:04:53.579 --> 00:04:57.939 duped. On December 15th, Leonard received a delayed 00:04:57.939 --> 00:05:04.160 payment of $1 ,800 ,000. The investigation continues 00:05:04.160 --> 00:05:07.519 as circumstantial evidence mounts, raising concerns 00:05:07.519 --> 00:05:11.399 among other team owners. Add on to football. 00:05:12.139 --> 00:05:15.480 Last night on Thursday Night Football, the Packers 00:05:15.480 --> 00:05:19.399 go to 2 -0 by defeating the commanders at Lambeau 00:05:19.399 --> 00:05:27.220 27 -18.

Game time temps are looking like 00:06:57.379 --> 00:07:04.199 86 degrees. In top news, after 10 years of black 00:07:04.199 --> 00:07:07.100 hole science, Steph Hawking is proven right. 00:07:07.629 --> 00:07:10.829 Researchers have spent a decade improving massive 00:07:10.829 --> 00:07:13.509 detectors to catch shockwaves from colliding 00:07:13.509 --> 00:07:19.350 black holes. On September 14, 2015, physicists 00:07:19.350 --> 00:07:22.629 detected gravitational waves, a huge breakthrough 00:07:22.629 --> 00:07:25.970 that won three key figures the Nobel Prize in 00:07:25.970 --> 00:07:29.529 Physics. Now scientists have observed that the 00:07:29.529 --> 00:07:32.350 surface area of black holes can never decrease. 00:07:32.589 --> 00:07:36.129 confirming a key idea proposed by Hocking in 00:07:36.129 --> 00:07:40.990 1971. This proof of his theory is a testament 00:07:40.990 --> 00:07:45.029 to his legacy, even after his passing in 2018. 00:07:46.250 --> 00:07:48.689 Researchers are also planning new detectors that 00:07:48.689 --> 00:07:53.470 could be 10 times more sensitive. In business 00:07:53.470 --> 00:07:57.889 news, new car buyers, beware, the latest data 00:07:57.889 --> 00:08:02.720 is concerning. So far, 2025 has been a car buyers 00:08:02.720 --> 00:08:06.699 market, but that could change quickly. The threat 00:08:06.699 --> 00:08:09.319 of tariffs has forced car companies to increase 00:08:09.319 --> 00:08:13.600 their incentive spending to attract buyers. Buyers 00:08:13.600 --> 00:08:16.259 have responded positively, leading to record 00:08:16.259 --> 00:08:19.300 -setting sales for companies like Ford, General 00:08:19.300 --> 00:08:23.139 Motors, and Kia. Ford was the top -selling brand 00:08:23.139 --> 00:08:25.500 in the United States during the first half of 00:08:25.500 --> 00:08:29.060 the year. However, there are no concrete plans 00:08:29.060 --> 00:08:33.279 to lower tariffs. Average new vehicle transaction 00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:39.480 prices in August rose to $49 ,077. Incentive 00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:43.500 spending fell slightly to 7 .2 % of average transaction 00:08:43.500 --> 00:08:47.840 price in August. In crypto movement, Bitcoin 00:08:47.840 --> 00:08:50.740 is up half a percent for the week, to just over 00:08:50.740 --> 00:08:57.500 $115 ,000. Ethereum is up 4%. to just under $4 00:08:57.500 --> 00:09:05.940 ,500. And SRP is up 5 % to $3 .03. Moving on 00:09:05.940 --> 00:09:09.919 to a more local vibe.

This agreement follows 00:10:05.330 --> 00:10:08.269 months of tension between the two, as Microsoft 00:10:08.269 --> 00:10:12.529 is OpenAI's exclusive cloud provider and a major 00:10:12.529 --> 00:10:16.129 investor. While the terms remain undisclosed, 00:10:16.350 --> 00:10:19.110 both organizations are set to receive approximately 00:10:19.110 --> 00:10:23.379 30 % of the new company's stake. OpenAI aims 00:10:23.379 --> 00:10:26.080 to finalize its restructure by the end of the 00:10:26.080 --> 00:10:30.659 year to secure $19 billion in funding. Despite 00:10:30.659 --> 00:10:33.860 the partnership, OpenAI faces challenges from 00:10:33.860 --> 00:10:36.840 various opponents, including billionaire Elon 00:10:36.840 --> 00:10:40.200 Musk, who has initiated legal action against 00:10:40.200 --> 00:10:47.700 the startup. And in entertainment news, Pioneertown, 00:10:47.700 --> 00:10:51.539 California is experiencing a vibrant renaissance. 00:10:51.710 --> 00:10:54.629 moving beyond its roots as a Hollywood movie 00:10:54.629 --> 00:10:58.429 set into a real Western town with a unique identity. 00:10:59.570 --> 00:11:01.970 The Main Street Band performed at the Red Dog 00:11:01.970 --> 00:11:05.269 Saloon as locals and visitors mingled, enjoying 00:11:05.269 --> 00:11:09.149 the warm atmosphere. Local shopkeeper Joanne 00:11:09.149 --> 00:11:12.350 Gosen emphasized, this is a real town and it's 00:11:12.350 --> 00:11:16.629 our town. Despite recent challenges, Pioneer 00:11:16.629 --> 00:11:19.570 Town is finding a new equilibrium with small 00:11:19.570 --> 00:11:23.419 businesses flourishing.

And today, our quote comes from the 00:11:45.080 --> 00:11:47.940 American science fiction writer, Octavia Butler. 00:11:49.039 --> 00:11:52.860 And she said, All that you touch, you change. 00:11:53.399 --> 00:11:57.659 All that you change, changes you.
