what's up lovely people Rise Up Pump to
be back with you after a Georgia winter
break and welcome to CNN 10 the best 10
minutes in news because of you it's
motivation Monday so here's a thought
life presents choices then we make
decisions those decisions influence our
destiny let's start this week's strong
shall we with some historic news from
space the odys is lunar lander nicknamed
OD or the im1 became the first us-made
spacecraft to land on the moon in 50
years it was a bit of a nailbiter though
according to the crafts developer
intuitive machines which says Engineers
had to overcome navigation issues in
order to make the landing possible the
spacecraft's position became a concern
when Flight controllers said they were
getting weak signals from the vehicle
after a tense weit in UD of machines
eventually confirmed that the Lander was
upright and able to send data back to
Mission Control the purpose of this
mission is to assess the environment of
the moon's South Pole as NASA is
planning to send astronauts there
towards the end of 2026 this Landing
comes after a different us company
aborted its Landing attempt last month
now at the same time the US is
accomplishing this feat other countries
are looking to make their giant leaps to
the Moon as well our space and defense
correspondent Kristen fiser has
more humans landed on the moon for the
first time over 50 years ago back then
it was really only the US and Russia
that were in the Space Race now the
European Space Agency says there are
over 100 lunar missions planned for the
moon before 2030 and they're made up of
countries and companies all over the
world so why is everyone racing to the
Moon again well the main reasons are
resources exploration and politics the
Moon is home to many resources like Rare
Earth minerals and elements like the
isotope helium 3 that could prove useful
to mine helium 3 is hard to find on
Earth but it can be found all over the
moon and is theoretically vital towards
nuclear fusion a possibly game-changing
clean energy source Studies have
theorized that water in ice form may be
available in large quantities on the
moon and mining could provide water and
oxygen the critical elements needed to
make rocket fuel and allow further
exploration the US Russia and China all
have plans to establish permanent bases
on the moon offering a jumping off point
to explore Mars and go even deeper into
outer space but how legal is all of this
potential activity on the moon the 1967
United Nations outer space treaty is
signed by most countries when it comes
to lunar laws but experts say that it
needs some updating it outlines that the
moon should be the province of all
mankind and should be used exclusively
for peaceful purposes so military Ary
bases nuclear weapons and weapons
testing are forbidden the treaty also
stresses cooperation but critics say
that it lacks any means of enforcement
which could prove diplomatically
dangerous if it's exploited now in
recent years the United States has
engaged in a new round of space
diplomacy called the emis Accords so far
there are more than 30 signatory Nations
but notably China and Russia have not
participated many scientists are
concerned that Mining and development
could affect experiments in scientific
projects that are already in place so
although there is this renewed rush to
get to the moon the future of diplomacy
on the moon is a critical
question pop quiz Hot Shot what was the
name of the first modern credit card the
diner Club MasterCard Visa or American
Express if you said the diner Club put
your hands up the car was put into use
in 1950 initially used only in local
restaurants before expanding to include
retailers one year later the Diners Club
had 42,000 members spanning major cities
across the US now here's a wild
statistic for you the total amount of
Americans credit card debt surged past a
trillion dollars in 2023 but some
economists say it's not necessarily A
Bad Thing citing that the US job market
remains solid and wage growth is beating
inflation some economists are also
saying that Americans are currently
better positioned to pay down their
debts and in some cases they're making
enough money to also stash some money
away in their savings accounts now
having conversations about your money
can be tough like if a group of friends
is headed out maybe to get a bite to eat
and we just don't have the dough to go
it can be tough to say I'm on a budget
bro well a new Tik Tock Trend created by
comedian Lucas battle aims at taking the
shame out of being Frugal saving money
he uses a term called Loud budgeting and
our Vanessa yavich met with him to learn
more in an online world where opulence
is King I was sad so I went shopping
this was a joke loud budgeting is a New
Concept I'm introducing for 2024 it's
the opposite of quiet luxury if your
friend texts you I want to hang out you
say I don't want to spend gas money on
coming to you to hear you talk about
your ex for 3 hours and genzer Lucas
battle it intently started a new
Financial Trend what is loud budgeting
loud budgeting is kind of new
terminology for people to use when they
don't want to spend money and I think
it's a term people can use that doesn't
make talking about money awkward the
joke took off with his more than 600,000
Tik Tok followers financial influencers
and even himself were you surprised by
how many people have related to it yes
only because and I would love to say I'm
a genius brilliant Economist but uh this
is like a concept that's been around and
I really do think the loud part in front
of it is what people are kind of drawn
to gen Z and Millennials especially feel
the burden of inflation expensive
housing and student loan payments
budgeting has been around since the
beginning of time but in just the four
weeks since battle came up with loud
budgeting more and more people are
feeling they now have permission to talk
about it what do you think about that
being transparent about the fact that
you're on a budget I think um more so it
should be normalized um about budgeting
in Saving why do you think so many
people are resonating with it because
for so long we have been shamed into
silence loud budgeting is amazing
because instead of having to hide and
like be ashamed about the fact that you
have debt or need a budget or want to
save for certain things in your life you
can proudly say them and share them with
your friends gen Z and Millennials
social media's most active users were
either entering the job market or
working when the pandemic hit despite
having the lowest financial literacy of
any generation recent economic
uncertainty has made them the hungriest
for information with the social media
fication of society keeping up with the
Joneses is no longer the Joneses we're
Keeping Up with the Kardashians so we're
starting to get visualizations of wealth
that most regular people will never ever
see in their lives and so if I'm a young
person and I'm in an environment where I
feel like it's going to be challenging
for me to succeed I want to arm myself
with as much information as I possibly
can to give myself that leg

the bench for 40 years where she ended
segregated child care facilities and ra
