Good morning and welcome to Kid News. I'm Kim. Today is Wednesday, May 27th, 2020.

And we begin with Mother Nature threatening to mess with today's historic launch from Cape Canaveral in Florida.

At 4.33 p.m. eastern time this afternoon, weather permitting,

American astronauts Doug Hurley and Bob Benkin

will strap themselves inside a SpaceX Dragon capsule at the top of a 215 foot

SpaceX rocket and blast off for the International Space Station.

Not only will it be the first manned mission

to orbit from American soil in nearly a decade,

it's also the first time a private American company will take them there. To be sure the ride is

stylish. Out are the messy switches and knobs of yesterday in our clean lines and

touch screens.

Astronauts Bob and Doug help design it.

After all, they're the ones flying it.

And today, they get to name it.

The big reveal will be sometime before launch.

And if storms do scrub this afternoon's lift off,

NASA says it'll try again Saturday or Sunday.

Three young brothers in Bolivia were hurting goats when they found a black widow,

which is telltale by the red hourglass shape on its belly.

Thinking it might be their ticket to superpowers, each of them poked the spider until it bit.

Alas, none woke up in a Marvel comic book, instead all three spent a week in the hospital.
