Description:
On May 22, 2012, SpaceX launched the first commercial flight to the International Space Station. <br/><br/>The Dragon was the first American spacecraft to visit the space station since NASA ended the space shuttle program almost a year earlier. When the space shuttles were retired, NASA decided to contract private companies to start launching cargo to the space station. SpaceX, which was founded by Elon Musk, launched over 1,000 lbs. of cargo to the space station with its new Dragon cargo craft. The vessel is actually designed to launch up to 13,000 lbs., but because this was a test flight, it wasn't filled to its maximum capacity. The Dragon brought supplies like food, water and clothing for the space station crew and several student experiments. Also on board were cremated remains of more than 300 people. This included the ashes of the Mercury astronaut Gordon Cooper, and James Doohan, the actor who played Scotty on \

Dimon, currently 68 years old, has led JPMorgan for nearly two decades and grown it into the largest bank by assets in the U.S. The timing of Dimon's succession has long been a key question for investors and analysts, given his pivotal role at the company. Dimon said the decision on when he steps down will ultimately be up to the board, but he still has the energy for the job. Dimon stated the company is moving people into positions in an apparent reference to succession planning.

Grace has never let her condition define her, her mom, Bonnie Reber, said, as she runs her own business, GracePlace Art, which has a popular Instagram page. Though Grace was set to have a vending booth at the conference, Bonnie said she felt bad about making her daughter fly on her birthday and wanted to make things special so Grace could celebrate all day long. After she and Grace boarded the plane, Bonnie told Southwest Airlines flight attendants that it was her daughter's birthday, hoping they would give her a little attention on the flight. What followed, though, exceeded even Bonnie's expectations, as the crew took it upon themselves to ask those on the plane if they could sing Happy Birthday to Grace. Everyone on board was happy to oblige – even turning on their overhead lights to appear as if there were tens of makeshift candles. As everyone started singing, proud Bonnie recorded her daughter's reaction, with Grace beaming from ear to ear.")

The shareholder group argues that the board is too close to Musk and has failed to properly evaluate his compensation package, which was originally approved in 2018 but struck down by a Delaware court in January due to concerns about the approval process. Tesla has re-proposed the pay package, arguing that Musk earned the compensation by hitting targets related to the company's share price and operations. However, the shareholder group believes that Musk's divided attention among various companies exposes shareholders to unnecessary risk.")
