Good morning and welcome to Kid News. I'm Tori. Today is Friday, February 19th, 2021,

and we begin with the world's most celebrated gymnast taking issue with a glaring omission.

In a now-deleted post, ESPN shared an artistic image showing the sporting world's goats,

an acronym for Greatest of All Time, together in one place. Tom Brady, Michael Jordan,

Babe Ruth, Tiger Woods were all there as were Ronaldo and LeBron James, who didn't make the cut?

Female athletes, except for Serena Williams, who may have been added as an afterthought,

way in the back, add off to the right. None of it sat well with Simone Biles, who took the network

to task with a tweet, there are so many women I can think of that belong in this photo,

yet there are none. Simone's reaction set off a firestorm of criticism, sports center admitted

its mistake and the image came down. Anyone doubting Simone's goat status need only wait for worlds

where she may debut a Yurchenko double-pike vault? A skill so difficult no woman has ever tried it

in competition. Red Planet Pictures are already beaming back to Earth. Yesterday, the one-ton

Perseverance rover survived the last leg of its 300 million mile hairy ride to Mars,

a moment in time known to NASA as seven minutes of terror because the spacecraft has to slow

from 12,000 miles per hour to just two, then lower the rolling robot with cables,

all while in a communication blackout with NASA. Perseverance will spend the next two years

searching for signs of life in and around the 28 mile wide Jezero crater, which because of its

steep cliffs and boulders is the most dangerous place that NASA has ever landed. Tagging along,

a miniature helicopter called Ingenuity, which will be used for NASA's first attempt at flying

a drone on another planet. If successful, the space agency says it will be a true extra-terrestrial

Wright Brothers moment. Brace yourself TikTok. There's a new short video game in town.

Google is about to take the wraps off of its Challenger YouTube shorts here in the states.
