The Odysseus lunar lander, also known as OD or the I m 1, recently became the first US-made spacecraft to land on the moon in 50 years. This mission aims to assess the moon's south pole environment, as NASA plans to send astronauts there by the end of 2026. The European Space Agency reports over 100 lunar missions planned before 2030 from countries and companies worldwide.
The renewed interest in the moon is driven by resources, exploration, and politics. The moon holds rare earth minerals, Helium 3, and potentially large quantities of water in ice form, which could be vital for mining rocket fuel and supporting further exploration. The US, Russia, and China all have plans to establish permanent bases on the moon as a launching point for Mars and deeper space exploration.

The United Nations Outer Space Treaty designates the moon as the province of all mankind and for peaceful purposes, emphasizing cooperation. However, critics argue that the treaty lacks enforcement mechanisms, which could lead to diplomatic challenges if exploited. The US has initiated space diplomacy through the Artemis Accords, but concerns exist about potential impacts on existing scientific projects from mining and development.
Despite the total American credit card debt surpassing $1 trillion in 2023, some economists view this as manageable due to a solid job market and wage growth outpacing inflation. A new TikTok trend called loud budgeting aims to destigmatize frugality and saving money, particularly for Gen Z and millennials facing inflation, expensive housing, and student loan payments.
Black History Month celebrates trailblazers Jane Bolen, the first black woman to graduate from Yale Law School and become a judge, and Max Robinson, the first black person to anchor a nightly network news show on ABC's World News Tonight.

Welcome to CNN 10, the best 10 minutes in news. The Odysseus lunar lander, nicknamed OD or the I m 1, became the 1st US made spacecraft to land on the moon in 50 years. The purpose of this mission is to assess the environment of the moon's south pole as NASA is planning to send astronauts there towards the end of 2026. This landing comes after a different US company aborted its landing attempt last month. Other countries are also looking to make their giant leaps to the moon as well. The European Space Agency says there are over 100 lunar missions planned for the moon before 2030, made up of countries and companies all over the world.
The main reasons for the renewed interest in the moon are resources, exploration, and politics. The moon is home to many resources like rare earth minerals and elements like the isotope, Helium 3, that could prove useful to mine. Helium 3 is hard to find on Earth, but it can be found all over the moon and is theoretically vital towards nuclear fusion, a possibly game changing clean energy source. Water in ice form may be available in large quantities on the moon, and mining could provide water and oxygen, critical elements needed to make rocket fuel and allow further exploration. The US, Russia, and China all have plans to establish permanent bases on the moon, offering a jumping off point to explore Mars and go even deeper into outer space.
The United Nations Outer Space Treaty outlines that the moon shall be the province of all mankind and should be used exclusively for peaceful purposes. The treaty also stresses cooperation, but critics say that it lacks any means of enforcement, which could prove diplomatically dangerous if it's exploited. In recent years, the United States has engaged in a new round of space diplomacy called the Artemis Accords. Many scientists are concerned that mining and development could affect experiments and scientific projects that are already in place.
The total amount of Americans' credit card debt surged past a $1,000,000,000,000 in 2023. But some economists say it's not necessarily a bad thing, citing that the US job market remains solid and wage growth is beating inflation. A new TikTok trend called loud budgeting aims at taking the shame out of being frugal and saving money. Comedian Lucas Battle introduced this concept for people who don't want to spend money and feel comfortable talking about their budget.
Gen Z and millennials feel the burden of inflation, expensive housing, and student loan payments. Despite having the lowest financial literacy of any generation, recent economic uncertainty has made them the hungriest for information. They are starting to feel they now have permission to talk about budgeting.
Two trailblazers are celebrated during Black History Month: Jane Bolen, who was the 1st black woman to graduate from Yale Law School and become a judge, and Max Robinson, who became the 1st black person to anchor a nightly network news show on ABC's World News Tonight. Both made lasting impacts in their respective fields.
Shout outs are given to schools in Akutan, Alaska and Aiken, South Carolina. Thank you to all who have subscribed and commented on our CNN 10 YouTube channel for your shout out request. Let's keep grinding and shining because that's just what we do. See you tomorrow!
