Good morning and welcome the kid news. I'm Tori. Today is Tuesday, August 2nd, 2022.

And we begin with a 14 year old boy from New York finding national fame with his eye-voted

sticker design. Hudson Rowan of Ulster County wasn't thrilled about entering his local board

of elections contest. He only did so at the prodding of his mom. But once he sat down and

put pen to paper, the result was wild and now wildly popular. Hudson drew a purple and pink

and it'll be their job to measure radiation. The trio will lap the moon and return to Earth

approximately 40 days after launch, bringing back loads of data on what future crew members can

expect during the flight. Also being tested, how Orion's heat shield holds up during reentry,

when temperatures hit 4,000 degrees and its speed tubs 24,500 miles per hour, which is faster than

any human spacecraft has traveled so far. The story of a Colorado boy who couldn't get classmates

to sign his yearbook has taken another heartwarming turn. A few weeks ago we told you about 12-year-old

Brody Ritter and how when word got out about his social struggles, a huge group of high schoolers

surprised him in class, cheered him on, and filled in the blank pages. The seventh-grader saga
