On August 25, 2012, the first man to walk on the moon passed away. His family longed to honor his final wish: to be scattered on the surface of the moon.
The request might seem simple enough. Send up his ashes on a space expedition and release the ashes. However, such a request had never before been made, nor had the legitimacy of honoring such a request ever been considered.
After six arduous years of legal grandiosity, the lunar hero will finally be able to rest on the moon. On October 8, a federal judge ruled in favor of allowing Armstrong's ashes to be reunited with the surface of the moon on the grounds that "Armstrong served his country and the world when he took that giant step for mankind. We owe it to his spirit to respect his last request to be laid to rest among the stars for eternity."
The ruling stipulates that others wishing to be scattered in outer space will not be afforded the same privilege. Armstrong's request is "a final honor for a unique human being whose valor and burial will never be replicated."
The remains of Armstrong will be transported to the moon on the Space X mission schedule for early January, 2019. His family will watch the ceremonial scattering of the ashes at Cape Canaveral, Florida on a 50' by 75' screen telecast from the surface of the moon. The ceremony will not be televised for all Americans, but the family stated, "For those who may ask what they can do to honor Neil, we have a simple request. Honor his example of service, accomplishment and modesty, and the next time you walk outside on a clear night and see the moon smiling down at you, think of Neil Armstrong and give him a wink."

whale spotted in illinois river
A humpback whale was spotted near Morris IL in the Illinois River today. The sighting comes just days after 2 Great White Sharks were seen frolicking in the same area. While not impossible, it does seem unlikely. It is thought that the whale may have followed the sharks as they sometimes do in the wild. The whale would of had to travel over 1250 miles to get to this location. The Marine Biologist Association will be in town for a full investigation. Until we have answers, we are asking folks to keep their pontoons and fishing boats docked.

two great white sharks found swimming in mississippi river near saint louis, missouri.
While it is not entirely impossible, it is incredibly uncommon for salt water dwelling creatures to stay for lengthy periods of time in fresh water. However, two Great White Sharks have managed to survive the trip and make their way up the Mississippi River somehow. Believed to have started as a mating couple, the two are assumed to have swam the 920 mile journey from the mouth of the Mississippi River that is connected to the Gulf Of Mexico. Officials in Saint Louis have contacted the Missouri Conservation Department and will likely have a team in the river soon to capture the two lost sharks.
