The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) transported the passengers to specialized quarantine facilities in Nebraska and Georgia; one American tested positive for the virus. As of Tuesday afternoon, three deaths — a Dutch couple and a German woman — nine  confirmed cases  and two more  suspected cases  have been linked to the cruise ship outbreak. Health officials say the risk to the general public remains low. The modern moon race. For more than 50 years, no human has set foot on the lunar surface. But now, the United States, China, Russia, and others are all planning to return — not just to visit, but to stay. In our latest video, Associate Producer Aidan Gorman explores why the world’s great powers are suddenly dead set on getting back to the moon, and how the race could shape the future beyond Earth. https://youtu.be/j-6etWMgNv0?si=uSqf6nN9saY_RfzG Ad-free podcasts are here!
