WEBVTT 00:11.360 --> 00:13.200 What's up, sunshine? Happy Monday to 00:13.200 --> 00:15.200 you. I'm Ky Wire. This is CNN 10, where 00:15.200 --> 00:16.800 I simply tell you the what, letting you 00:16.800 --> 00:18.640 decide what to think. Hope you had an 00:18.640 --> 00:20.240 awesome weekend. You're feeling good, 00:20.240 --> 00:21.920 feeling great. What did the egg say when 00:21.920 --> 00:24.880 he walked into the party? I'm lit. We 00:24.880 --> 00:27.119 start with an update on NASA's Aremis 2 00:27.119 --> 00:29.199 mission. the latest step in the race to 00:29.199 --> 00:31.359 return humans to the moon. After 00:31.359 --> 00:33.440 numerous delays, the mission is set to 00:33.440 --> 00:35.520 blast off as soon as this Wednesday 00:35.520 --> 00:37.760 evening. The fourperson crew arrived at 00:37.760 --> 00:40.079 Kennedy Space Center in Florida to make 00:40.079 --> 00:43.120 final preparations. Artemis 2 is NASA's 00:43.120 --> 00:45.280 first manned mission to the moon in more 00:45.280 --> 00:48.160 than 50 years. But the crew will stop 00:48.160 --> 00:50.320 short of actually landing on the lunar 00:50.320 --> 00:52.239 surface. They'll circle around the moon 00:52.239 --> 00:54.079 instead. Here's our Jackie Waddles with 00:54.079 --> 00:58.239 more on the why. After 50 years, NASA is 00:58.239 --> 01:00.320 sending humans on a path back to the 01:00.320 --> 01:02.399 moon. It's a multi-billion dollar 01:02.399 --> 01:04.799 mission called Aremis 2, and it's a 01:04.799 --> 01:07.439 critical test run before landing. So 01:07.439 --> 01:09.439 essentially, it's a very expensive 01:09.439 --> 01:12.400 flyby. But we already landed on the moon 01:12.400 --> 01:14.080 back when we were still using rotary 01:14.080 --> 01:16.640 phones. So why all this fuss for just a 01:16.640 --> 01:20.000 test run? And why not just land again? 01:20.000 --> 01:22.400 Well, there's a few big reasons why. And 01:22.400 --> 01:26.439 the first one is financial. 01:27.520 --> 01:29.840 NASA began the Apollo program in the 01:29.840 --> 01:32.560 1960s. Back then, astronauts used a 01:32.560 --> 01:34.880 fully integrated system, rocket, command 01:34.880 --> 01:37.360 module, and lunar lander. The Apollo 01:37.360 --> 01:39.920 program was a huge national investment, 01:39.920 --> 01:42.000 but NASA doesn't have Apollo money 01:42.000 --> 01:44.880 anymore. 01:44.880 --> 01:47.360 For Artemis, NASA has built the Orion 01:47.360 --> 01:49.439 spacecraft in a rocket to get crew from 01:49.439 --> 01:51.920 Earth to lunar orbit. But for the lunar 01:51.920 --> 01:54.159 lander, the agency decided to bring in 01:54.159 --> 01:56.560 SpaceX and Blue Origin. It's up to those 01:56.560 --> 01:58.159 companies to figure out how to get the 01:58.159 --> 02:00.799 astronauts from NASA's spacecraft down 02:00.799 --> 02:03.840 to the moon's surface. Reason two, NASA 02:03.840 --> 02:05.840 doesn't have all the tools it needs for 02:05.840 --> 02:08.560 a touchdown. For Apollo, we landed near 02:08.560 --> 02:10.800 the moon's equator. And since the 02:10.800 --> 02:13.360 program ended in 1972, the US has only 02:13.360 --> 02:14.959 been sending astronauts to low Earth 02:14.959 --> 02:17.280 orbit. First with the space shuttle and 02:17.280 --> 02:20.160 now with SpaceX's Crew Dragon capsules. 02:20.160 --> 02:22.800 But for Artemis, NASA's long-term goal 02:22.800 --> 02:24.800 is to eventually build a base on the 02:24.800 --> 02:28.760 south pole of the moon. 02:28.800 --> 02:30.720 Pop quiz a shot. According to Greek 02:30.720 --> 02:32.160 legend, what was the name of the 02:32.160 --> 02:34.400 messenger who ran the first marathon? 02:34.400 --> 02:37.280 Achilles, Fidipities, Socrates, or 02:37.280 --> 02:40.280 Leonitis. 02:42.319 --> 02:44.560 If you said Fidipities, dippity doo dah 02:44.560 --> 02:47.120 dippity. After the battle of Marathon, 02:47.120 --> 02:49.200 the legend states Fidipities was sent to 02:49.200 --> 02:52.319 run 25 miles to Athens to deliver urgent 02:52.319 --> 02:54.560 news. He burst into the city and shouted 02:54.560 --> 02:58.080 victory, then collapsed from exhaustion. 02:58.080 --> 03:00.319 Earlier this year in Atlanta, a big race 03:00.319 --> 03:02.319 with big prizes on the line took an 03:02.319 --> 03:04.640 unexpected turn. Three leaders at the 03:04.640 --> 03:07.040 Women's USA track and field halfmarathon 03:07.040 --> 03:09.519 Championships were accidentally guided 03:09.519 --> 03:11.920 off course near the finish line and it 03:11.920 --> 03:14.480 cost them a chance at the $20,000 first 03:14.480 --> 03:16.879 place prize and a shot at one of four 03:16.879 --> 03:19.440 qualifying spots for the world stage. 03:19.440 --> 03:21.760 Now the runners are receiving a rare 03:21.760 --> 03:24.480 second chance. Jess Mlan, Emma Grace 03:24.480 --> 03:27.680 Hurley, and Edna Kirat were leading with 03:27.680 --> 03:30.000 just two miles to go when a mixup sent 03:30.000 --> 03:32.159 them off course after a police vehicle 03:32.159 --> 03:34.560 marking the route left to respond to an 03:34.560 --> 03:36.959 emergency call. World Athletics says it 03:36.959 --> 03:39.440 has made an exceptional decision and 03:39.440 --> 03:41.840 will allow the US to send three extra 03:41.840 --> 03:43.360 runners to the championships in 03:43.360 --> 03:45.360 Copenhagen. The three runners will 03:45.360 --> 03:47.680 compete as non-scoring athletes, meaning 03:47.680 --> 03:49.840 they will not be eligible for medals or 03:49.840 --> 03:52.319 prize money, but they can still earn 03:52.319 --> 03:54.640 world ranking points. To get good grades 03:54.640 --> 03:56.799 in school, it takes three things. Work 03:56.799 --> 03:59.040 hard, be willing to learn, and 03:59.040 --> 04:01.040 sacrifice. And those are the same three 04:01.040 --> 04:03.200 qualities that any coach is looking for 04:03.200 --> 04:05.680 in their athletes. Outwork everyone, be 04:05.680 --> 04:07.280 willing to learn how to improve each 04:07.280 --> 04:08.879 day, and give up some of the things 04:08.879 --> 04:10.799 you'd like to do in order to step closer 04:10.799 --> 04:13.280 to the proximity of your goals. We got 04:13.280 --> 04:14.879 to spend time with the newly crowned 04:14.879 --> 04:17.120 girls high school basketball national 04:17.120 --> 04:19.519 player of the year, Kate Harpring. The 04:19.519 --> 04:21.440 senior at Maris School in Atlanta, 04:21.440 --> 04:23.680 Georgia, has worked to refine all of 04:23.680 --> 04:25.919 those qualities. She broke the Georgia 04:25.919 --> 04:28.080 all-time girls basketball career scoring 04:28.080 --> 04:29.840 record, leading her team to their second 04:29.840 --> 04:32.400 straight state title. Days before being 04:32.400 --> 04:35.680 named the 2026 Naymith High School Girls 04:35.680 --> 04:37.680 Player of the Year, presented annually 04:37.680 --> 04:39.199 to the girls high school basketball 04:39.199 --> 04:41.120 player, achieving great success on the 04:41.120 --> 04:43.759 court. Past winners include Asia Wilson, 04:43.759 --> 04:46.400 Paige Beckers, and Candace Parker. I 04:46.400 --> 04:48.320 remember trying to balance practices in 04:48.320 --> 04:50.240 school work in high school, getting in 04:50.240 --> 04:52.240 extra workouts while friends were out 04:52.240 --> 04:54.880 having extra fun in college. I asked 04:54.880 --> 04:57.120 Kate all about her journey over a good 04:57.120 --> 04:59.440 old-fashioned game of horse with a 04:59.440 --> 05:02.440 twist. 05:06.320 --> 05:07.600 >> Welcome to Maris. 05:07.600 --> 05:10.080 >> Oh my goodness. This is the place that 05:10.080 --> 05:12.240 Kate built. I'm just gonna say it. 05:12.240 --> 05:14.479 Congratulations. National player of the 05:14.479 --> 05:15.919 year. How does that feel? 05:15.919 --> 05:17.840 >> It's amazing. Um it's been a goal that 05:17.840 --> 05:19.280 I've been really working for, especially 05:19.280 --> 05:21.280 my senior year. Um and it's just 05:21.280 --> 05:22.800 amazing. I feel so honored. 05:22.800 --> 05:25.759 >> This is Kate. Kate Harpring, the Naymith 05:25.759 --> 05:27.840 Girls High School Player of the Year, 05:27.840 --> 05:29.520 committed to play basketball at the 05:29.520 --> 05:32.160 University of North Carolina Chapel Hill 05:32.160 --> 05:34.560 next season. And her accolades read like 05:34.560 --> 05:36.639 a phone book. She's a hardworking 05:36.639 --> 05:39.120 student athlete and a great teammate. 05:39.120 --> 05:41.440 Kate has stayed humble and hungry. 05:41.440 --> 05:42.960 >> I mean, she's good at basketball just 05:42.960 --> 05:44.639 because it's all luck and it's all 05:44.639 --> 05:45.759 genetics, right? 05:45.759 --> 05:46.639 >> No. No. 05:46.639 --> 05:47.600 >> Tell me about Kate. 05:47.600 --> 05:50.479 >> Never seen anybody work that hard. Never 05:50.479 --> 05:54.080 seen anybody uh every single day not 05:54.080 --> 05:56.240 satisfied with what she did the day 05:56.240 --> 05:58.160 before, even as good as she is, you 05:58.160 --> 06:00.160 know. Um always wanting more, always 06:00.160 --> 06:02.800 having uh bigger dreams, bigger desires, 06:02.800 --> 06:04.000 things like that. That's what makes her 06:04.000 --> 06:06.560 so special. Georgia's alltime leading 06:06.560 --> 06:09.039 scorer in girls high school basketball. 06:09.039 --> 06:11.600 >> What was that like celebrating with your 06:11.600 --> 06:13.360 teammates on the court after winning the 06:13.360 --> 06:14.560 state championship? 06:14.560 --> 06:16.720 >> Yeah, it was amazing. Um I mean those 06:16.720 --> 06:18.400 teammates, they're my best friends. Uh 06:18.400 --> 06:20.319 we've been working for this for so long, 06:20.319 --> 06:22.000 every single practice through blood, 06:22.000 --> 06:24.080 sweat, tears, just everything. And to 06:24.080 --> 06:26.560 win, it's just so relieving and uh so 06:26.560 --> 06:27.120 earned. 06:27.120 --> 06:28.960 >> Not your typical interview. We do it 06:28.960 --> 06:32.080 over a game of horse or CNN 10 in this 06:32.080 --> 06:34.160 case. First one to miss five shots 06:34.160 --> 06:36.639 loses. I grew up a wrestler, so I just 06:36.639 --> 06:39.039 hope I make a shot or two or this 06:39.039 --> 06:40.960 interview might be really short. 06:40.960 --> 06:41.840 >> Oh no. 06:41.840 --> 06:42.880 >> Okay, there's a C. 06:42.880 --> 06:45.039 >> C. 06:45.039 --> 06:46.880 >> Oh gosh, she's she's hitting her groove 06:46.880 --> 06:47.199 now. 06:47.199 --> 06:47.680 >> There we go. 06:47.680 --> 06:50.080 >> I want to be like Kate. 06:50.080 --> 06:52.880 >> Uh-oh. C N. Oh no. 06:52.880 --> 06:53.520 >> All right. 06:53.520 --> 06:56.080 >> Come on. 06:56.080 --> 06:58.960 >> I knew it wasn't going to go so bad. So 06:58.960 --> 07:01.759 bad. 07:01.759 --> 07:04.479 Oh, she's on fire. So, when you're out 07:04.479 --> 07:06.639 there in a big moment and 07:06.639 --> 07:08.400 >> not wire and you're feeling a little 07:08.400 --> 07:10.160 fear, like if you could talk to fear, 07:10.160 --> 07:11.520 what would you say to it 07:11.520 --> 07:12.960 >> to get out of the way so I can just 07:12.960 --> 07:14.639 perform? Honestly, 07:14.639 --> 07:16.800 >> all right, fear, get out of the way. 07:16.800 --> 07:19.360 >> I'm not going to do it yet. 07:19.360 --> 07:20.479 >> Oh, bank. 07:20.479 --> 07:22.880 >> I didn't call bank. Does that count? 07:22.880 --> 07:24.080 >> I'm sure it counts. 07:24.080 --> 07:26.319 >> Yes. Our tough times can make us 07:26.319 --> 07:27.680 tougher. What's something you've been 07:27.680 --> 07:29.360 through that was really challenging for 07:29.360 --> 07:30.880 you? And what did you learn through 07:30.880 --> 07:31.360 that? 07:31.360 --> 07:33.280 >> Yeah, I'd say honestly the recruitment 07:33.280 --> 07:36.000 process. Um, that was definitely 07:36.000 --> 07:38.240 something that was very hard. Um, it 07:38.240 --> 07:39.759 started pretty early for me, which is 07:39.759 --> 07:42.319 like unusual for a lot of people. Um, 07:42.319 --> 07:44.639 like in 8th grade I got my first offer. 07:44.639 --> 07:46.639 So, really just like the having the 07:46.639 --> 07:48.720 pressure of like people always watching 07:48.720 --> 07:50.319 you, like you have to go show up to 07:50.319 --> 07:51.520 every single game. 07:51.520 --> 07:53.520 >> How did you learn you best handle 07:53.520 --> 07:54.080 pressure? 07:54.080 --> 07:55.759 >> Just playing hard. Just focusing on the 07:55.759 --> 07:59.039 game. if I play hard, I'm gonna get um 07:59.039 --> 08:00.800 like the easy stuff. It'll come to me. 08:00.800 --> 08:01.520 So, 08:01.520 --> 08:03.360 >> but you're not just a basketball player. 08:03.360 --> 08:05.599 You get really good grades, too. So, why 08:05.599 --> 08:07.360 was it important to you to also be a 08:07.360 --> 08:08.000 good student? 08:08.000 --> 08:10.240 >> Getting good grades. Um along with just 08:10.240 --> 08:12.080 like working hard, studying, stuff like 08:12.080 --> 08:13.840 that. Um I feel like it's just going to 08:13.840 --> 08:15.120 help me for later in life. 08:15.120 --> 08:17.120 >> Whether it's poop, whether it's school, 08:17.120 --> 08:18.319 like you just want to be good at 08:18.319 --> 08:19.360 everything you do. 08:19.360 --> 08:21.680 >> Yes, for sure. For sure. I don't like 08:21.680 --> 08:23.440 getting bad grades. I don't like doing 08:23.440 --> 08:26.319 any of that. So, don't like losing. Oh, 08:26.319 --> 08:27.280 that was close. 08:27.280 --> 08:28.879 >> Is there anything you're not good at? 08:28.879 --> 08:30.879 >> Honestly, driving. Driving is a good 08:30.879 --> 08:34.399 one. My parents will like this. I 08:34.399 --> 08:37.279 flopped a few tires. Um, so that's 08:37.279 --> 08:38.399 probably something. 08:38.399 --> 08:40.240 >> So, why business school? What What 08:40.240 --> 08:42.000 intrigues you by that? What do you want 08:42.000 --> 08:43.440 to be when you grow up? 08:43.440 --> 08:46.240 >> Yeah. Um, I mean, obviously, uh, 08:46.240 --> 08:47.839 basketball is kind of the main path 08:47.839 --> 08:49.360 right now just because of how much 08:49.360 --> 08:50.800 women's sports have grown. I feel like 08:50.800 --> 08:52.399 business kind of ties into a lot of 08:52.399 --> 08:55.760 stuff. um after basketball, whether it's 08:55.760 --> 08:58.160 running your own or just kind of knowing 08:58.160 --> 09:00.800 how businesses work. Um and through 09:00.800 --> 09:02.160 that, I feel like that's going to help a 09:02.160 --> 09:04.320 lot with basketball because you can find 09:04.320 --> 09:06.560 so many like different things to do like 09:06.560 --> 09:08.160 off the court for basketball. 09:08.160 --> 09:13.399 >> She's on fire. Oh my gosh. 09:14.160 --> 09:16.000 Oh, 09:16.000 --> 09:19.200 that's it. CNN 10. She got me. 09:19.200 --> 09:19.760 >> I did. 09:19.760 --> 09:21.200 >> Do you love kicking guys butts in 09:21.200 --> 09:22.800 basketball? 09:22.800 --> 09:23.120 I 09:23.120 --> 09:24.880 >> cuz you're really good at it. Really 09:24.880 --> 09:26.160 good at it, Kate. 09:26.160 --> 09:27.600 >> I guess so. 09:27.600 --> 09:31.320 >> Yeah, I guess so. 09:37.200 --> 09:39.120 >> You might want to sit down for today's 09:39.120 --> 09:41.040 story, getting a 10 out of 10 and go for 09:41.040 --> 09:43.440 the win. This is office chair racing, 09:43.440 --> 09:45.279 and yes, it is exactly what it sounds 09:45.279 --> 09:48.160 like. Across Japan, teams of three race 09:48.160 --> 09:50.399 relay style through the streets, pushing 09:50.399 --> 09:52.480 their office chairs to the limits in a 09:52.480 --> 09:55.920 2-hour endurance race called the ISU1 09:55.920 --> 09:58.080 Grand Prix. These folks take climbing 09:58.080 --> 09:59.440 the corporate ladder to a whole new 09:59.440 --> 10:02.240 level. Think Formula 1, complete with 10:02.240 --> 10:04.560 intense training, pit style rider 10:04.560 --> 10:07.519 changes, and strategy at every turn. 10:07.519 --> 10:10.399 Suyoshi Tahara launched the first race 10:10.399 --> 10:13.360 in Kyoto back in 2010, inspired by a 10:13.360 --> 10:15.200 childhood moment when a teacher told him 10:15.200 --> 10:17.200 to stop playing with an office chair. 10:17.200 --> 10:18.800 Next time you get a little too cherry 10:18.800 --> 10:20.640 away and told to stay in your seat in 10:20.640 --> 10:22.880 Japan, that might just mean go faster. 10:22.880 --> 10:24.800 Two shout outs today cuz that's just how 10:24.800 --> 10:27.760 we roll. First up, Mr. McFall at the 10:27.760 --> 10:30.000 Donald Retti School in Edmonton, 10:30.000 --> 10:32.399 Alberta.
