NASA addresses criticism over all-male crew selected for Artemis III test mission next year: NASA's crew selection process "does not involve any political appointees," an explanation likely intended to assuage questions about whether the Trump administration had any influence over the decision.

— NBC: It is possible that NASA is saving its most experienced female astronauts for the Artemis IV mission to the moon, but that crew has not yet been announced. The agency has no shortage of female astronauts. Out of NASA's 37 active astronauts eligible for flight assignments, 15 are women. Last year, when NASA announced its newest class of 10 astronaut candidates, the majority were women for the first time in history.

Woman who lost both legs during Bahamas excursion sues Carnival Cruise Line: she suffered severe injuries during a catamaran excursion near Pearl Island (LINK) — 10 June 2026

— The complaint alleges Hannah Smith, a recent graduate, was directed by excursion staff to enter the water after she said she needed to use a restroom while returning from the island. The lawsuit further claims employees provided alcohol throughout the excursion and supplied marijuana before the incident. According to the filing, crew members failed to properly anchor the vessel and instead used its engines to maintain position while passengers entered the water. Smith alleges she was pulled beneath the boat and struck by a propeller, resulting in injuries that required the amputation of both legs. Carnival has asked the court to dismiss the claims against the cruise line, arguing that the excursion operator was an independent contractor and not under Carnival's direct control. Smith's attorneys contend Carnival marketed and sold the excursion to passengers and should bear responsibility for ensuring reasonable safety standards.
