[Music] hello and welcome I'm koi wire this is CNN 10 where I tell you the what letting you decide what to think no opinion no slant just the news of the day in 10 minutes time let's get started with some news about outer space for the first time a four-person crew of private astronauts is set to travel into Earth's radiation belts to conduct the first commercial space walk this is all part of spacex's Polaris Dawn Mission a suspense filled 5-day Trek to parts of space no human has gone since NASA's Apollo space program ended in 1972 now the mission was delayed after a helium leak was detected on a piece of equipment designed to detach from the rocket during takeoff it's now scheduled to take off a day after originally planned from NASA's k Space Center in Florida after takeoff the four-person team is expected to travel into an oval-shaped orbit aboard the crew Dragon spacecraft high enough to plunge the vehicle and crew into the Van Allen radiation belts the mission will also aim to reach the highest orbit around Earth for a crude Mission hoping to surpass the 1966 record set by NASA's Gemini 11 accomplishing this would make the two female crew members the first women to complete this journey almost immediately after launch the crew will begin preparing for a high-risk Space Walk making use of extra vehicular activity or Eva suits that SpaceX developed in Just 2 and 1 half years if successful it would be the first spacewalk conducted by non-government astronauts the Polaris Dawn mission is part of a series of SpaceX flights aiming to test new technologies that Elon musk's company hopes will one day see humans live and work on other planets it's one thing to fly to space it's another thing to do a space walk until now only NASA or government astronauts have dared to venture out into the vacuum of space but that is all set to change with spacex's Polaris Dawn Mission funded in part by billionaire businessman and philanthropist Jared isaacman who first flew to space 3 years ago as commander of spacex's inspiration 4 the first all civilian mission to orbit Jared some people are going to see the headlines and say you know oh this is just another billionaire going on a joy ride to space but what you are doing is actually quite different the connotation is often negative but in reality it's just people taking that resources that they're L lucky enough to accumulate in life um and try and do something positive with it for the benefit of everyone SpaceX has these huge objectives and to get there there is so much that we need to go and solve and so Polaris is all about Excel accelerating the technology development technology like the First new americanmade extra vehicular activity suit or Eva suit in more than 40 years NASA's been trying to get new ones for its astronauts for two decades SpaceX developed this one in Just 2 and a half years and now the entire Polaris Dawn crew will be testing it in space for the first time we were all really confident that you know some iteration of it is going to be worned by somebody Walking on Mars someday and and that just makes it even more of a privilege to be part of it while only two members of the polaron crew will actually leave their dragon spacecraft all four will be exposed to the vacuum of space when the dragon opens its hatch space is literally right there as you open the hatch and Scott kid potit is the missions pilot a retired Air Force Lieutenant Colonel and test pilot you've been wanting to go to space your whole life you call me old I'm glad I have this crew mission specialist Sarah Gillis is spacex's lead astronaut trainer for all Astron that fly on a dragon final crew member is Mission specialist and medical officer Anna Menan also a SpaceX employee whose life is now in the hands of her co-workers these are not just Engineers these are also my friends so I know the people that are putting us on that rocket and supporting us from the ground and I have just the utmost trust in every single one of them 10 second trivia in which of these geographical locations would you find Australia Oceana Siberia sub Sahara or the Caribbean oana is your answer here considered by some countries as a continent it's the collective name for the islands scattered throughout the Pacific we're headed down under to Australia now for our next story where a new law is allowing Aussies to ignore work emails after work hours it's called the right to disconnect law and it applies to workers in any company with more than 15 people the law says that when employees are off the clock they don't have to monitor read or respond to any business related contact like emails or phone calls with work life balance at the top of mind for so many people working at an office many Australians are embracing this change for all of Australia's Beauty and relaxed reputation it might be hard to imagine that many people here feel overworked but according to some lawmakers Australians are working an average of 6 weeks unpaid overtime every year and so the government has stepped in to protect people's right to disconnect as of Monday people won't have to answer out of hours calls texts or emails I think it's actually really important that we have laws like this we spend so much of our time connected to our phones connected to our emails um all day and I think that it's really hard to switch off as it is around the world IL defined job expectations and constant connectivity has allowed our jobs to encroach on our private Worlds the gray areas remain there may be times the boss still requires an answer but workers can now defend their right to disconnect in court if they want to we are professionals we're well paid we're expected to deliver and uh we feel we have to deliver 24 24 hours a day if you have to so the phone's always on the computer's always on and and we're working Australians likely won't forget work entirely after they leave the office but more people may feel like they don't have to be always on meaning more time to enjoy what is already a fortunate place to be all right today is the opening ceremony for the 2024 paralympic games happening in Paris at the same venues we saw on display for the Olympic Games the athletes or paralympians are grouped together by how much an impairment like impaired muscle power or Vision impairment can limit their activity in sport some 4,000 paralympians will be aiming for gold and ahead of these games I sat down with Team USA's Oxana Masters one of the most dominant par Olympians the world has ever seen a 17-time Paro Olympic medalist competing in both winter and summer games she was born in Ukraine with her body damaged from radiation poison ising from the Chernobyl nuclear reactor incident she was adopted moved to the USA in 1997 and she's been an inspiration ever since have you ever had a perfect race no I've never had a perfect race that's I think I think a lot of athletes are chasing that perfect race and you know it's it's not about the gold medal is what makes the perfect race it's about the whole process where my first initial thought isn't my gosh I should have done this this is what I did wrong and all the feedback that I have to myself and criticism that I have to myself so yeah how do you hope your journey and you have inspired others I hope that if it's just one girl so watching she can look and she can just like I can do this I belong here you have to see your dream and you have to see it to actually believe it in yourself love that how has being an athlete changed your life I think the biggest way it changed my life is it was that was the journey for for me to love myself and accept myself and see my body as powerful and strong it was not an overnight Journey Sports really taught me how it was okay to take my legs off in front of people and to still be powerful and feel powerful so it was the Journey of self-discovery and
