NASA has announced the retirement of test pilot and astronaut Butch Wilmore after 25 successful years of service and flights aboard four different spacecraft.Wilmore, a veteran pilot and graduate of the U.S. Naval Test Pilot School, has logged 464 days in space since his selection by NASA in 2000.The decorated U.S. Navy Capt. has flown on the Space Shuttle Atlantis in 2009, Roscosmos Soyuz in 2014, Boeing Starliner in 2024, and returned to Earth aboard SpaceX Dragon most recently.He also completed five spacewalks for a total of 32 hours outside the International Space Station.NASA ASTRONAUT BUTCH WILMORE OPENS UP ABOUT WORSHIPPING GOD WHILE IN SPACE: 'I NEED THAT FELLOWSHIP'"Butchs commitment to NASAs mission and dedication to human space exploration is truly exemplary," said Steve Koerner, acting director of NASAs Johnson Space Center in Houston. "His lasting legacy of fortitude will continue to impact and inspire the Johnson workforce, future explorers, and the nation for generations. On behalf of NASAs Johnson Space Center, we thank Butch for his service."Wilmore has been recognized as not only technically gifted but also an adaptable astronaut whose legacy spans decades of advancing human spaceflight across many missions.He was one of the few astronauts that flew aboard both NASA's legacy and commercial vehicles which helped validate critical systems for long-term human spaceflight.NASA ASTRONAUT ARRIVES AT INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION ABOARD RUSSIAN SPACECRAFT"Throughout his career, Butch has exemplified the technical excellence of what is required of an astronaut. His mastery of complex systems, coupled with his adaptability and steadfast commitment to NASAs mission, has inspired us all," said Joe Acaba, chief of the Astronaut Office at NASA Johnson. "As he steps into this new chapter, that same dedication will no doubt continue to show in whatever he decides to do next."Wilmores most recent launch aboard Boeings Starliner spacecraft on June 5, 2024, marked the first crewed flight test mission. During the mission, they were able to help remove a radio frequency group antenna assembly and collect samples for analysis from the Destiny laboratory and the Quest airlock."From my earliest days, I have been captivated by the marvels of creation, looking upward with an insatiable curiosity. This curiosity propelled me into the skies, and eventually to space, where the magnificence of the cosmos mirrored the glory of its creator in ways words can scarcely convey," said Wilmore. "Even as I ventured beyond Earths limits, I remained attuned to the beauty and significance of the world below, recognizing the same intricate design evident among the stars is also woven into the fabric of life at home."Wilmores retirement signals the end of NASAs pioneering era of cross-platform astronaut missions and early commercial spaceflight validation.

Amid a growing healthcare provider shortage in Polk County, Florida Polytechnic University and the Orlando College of Osteopathic Medicine have announced a new six-year accelerated medical degree program designed to fast-track the next generation of doctors.In Polk County, reports show that they have half as many doctors, dentists and pediatricians per 100,000 residents than the state average. This shortage has been linked to a rapid growth in the population.They also report a notable increase in emergency room visits linked to non-emergent care and general chronic disease management due to the absence of primary care access.10-YEAR-OLD CALIFORNIA PRODIGY SET TO GRADUATE FROM COLLEGE WITH 2 DEGREESWith the new initiative, students will be able to complete both a Bachelor of Science and Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree in just six years compared to the traditional eight years (four for undergrad, four for medical school), not including residency.The accelerated curriculum will assist students in getting both degrees needed by addressing physician shortages while making medical education accessible.The program will also promote STEM-medicine integration, cost-effective education, and innovative academic partnerships.Dr. Kiran C. Patel, OCOMs Founder, and Dr. Devin Stephenson, Florida Polys President, announced that they had signed an agreement to move forward with the endeavor in July of this year.DESANTIS WINS AGAINST 'WOKE' ACCREDITATION IN PUSH TO OVERHAUL HIGHER EDUCATIONThe program will limit acceptance to 20 high-achieving students a year and will require a minimum SAT score of 1390, an ACT score of 31, and a GPA of 3.5. However, a Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) will not be required."This is a transformative opportunity for students who want to become physicians and are eager to begin serving their communities," Stephenson said. "By combining rigorous STEM education with a clear, accelerated track to medical school, we are reimagining whats possible in health education and responding to a critical need for more doctors across Florida and beyond. This agreement also reflects Florida Polys 25|30 Strategic Plans commitment to build capacity through enhanced partnership development, strengthening our role as a driver of innovation and impact."The hopes of the new program are that, by limiting entry to high-achieving students and eliminating the MCAT requirement, the program will be able to produce local physicians faster, more affordably, and in greater alignment with Floridas rapidly growing healthcare needs.

A Florida woman is behind bars after she left her teenager and seven dogs in "vile living conditions" to go on a two-week-long Las Vegas vacation, according to police.The Putnam County Sheriff's Office arrested Jessica Copeland, 37, on Tuesday on charges of child and animal neglect following calls from family members concerned about the teen and the dogs.The first call came on Monday when an out-of-state family member called Putnam County deputies to ask for a welfare check on a teenager in Palatka, Florida, the agency said.When deputies went to the home, an adult was outside and told them he was "cleaning" before Copeland returned home. The teen then came outside and said "there were no issues and everything was fine," according to the sheriff's office, so the deputies left.FLORIDA WOMAN CHARGED WITH CHILD NEGLECT AFTER LEAVING 2 CHILDREN IN SWELTERING VEHICLEAnother family member called the sheriff's office that same day to report that he had video of dogs inside the home being abused and agreed to meet with deputies to show it to them. In the video, there were three "severely emaciated dogs," the PCSO said.That same family member also told deputies he did not think there was food or running water in the house information that was not given during the initial call, according to the agency.Deputies went back to the home with PCSO's agriculture detective and were let inside by the teenager. The adult who was at the home before was no longer there.Inside the home, deputies came across "vile living conditions," including layers of animal feces, garbage and debris all throughout the home, and multiple emaciated dogs without food or water.The teenager told law enforcement that Copeland left on July 21 for Las Vegas and "different people would come to the house to check on him and bring him food," the agency said.The age of the teenager was not revealed.FOSTER MOM ACCUSED OF EXCHANGING CHILD FOR EXOTIC ANIMAL IN BIZARRE TRADEDeputies also found seven dogs inside the residence."Two dogs were locked in a bedroom covered in about 4 inches of feces with no food or water. A third dog was in a cage with no food or water and was severely emaciated. Four more dogs were in the living room surrounded by feces and did not have adequate food or water," the sheriff's office said, adding that there were water bowls in the living room, but they had insects floating in them.The teen allegedly told law enforcement that the home had been in this condition for years because Copeland kept it that way and refused to clean it.Putnam County Sheriff H.D. DeLoach said the situation was "both heartbreaking and infuriating.""A mother made the conscious choice to abandon her own child in a filth-ridden home, surrounded by the stench of animal feces and suffering of neglected animals while she indulged on a two-week birthday trip to Las Vegas," he said. "This wasnt neglect. This was deliberate cruelty, both to her child and to the animals she left behind."OHIO MOM GETS LIFE SENTENCE AFTER HER CHILD DIED WHILE BEING LEFT HOME ALONE DURING 10-DAY VACATIONWhen deputies were at the home on Tuesday morning assisting animal control with removing the dogs from the home, Copeland returned to the residence and was quickly arrested.Bodycam footage released by the agency showed no resistance from Copeland when they informed her that her house was in a "deplorable" condition and that she had animals on the brink of being starved to death. She was quickly put in handcuffs and taken into custody."She is now on extended vacation at the Putnam County Jail," the sheriff's office said.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPHer charges include one count of child neglect, three counts of felony animal neglect and four counts of misdemeanor animal neglect, and her bond is set at $36,000."Let me be clear, our community will not tolerate this level of selfish disregard for human and animal life. She now has time for reflection," DeLoach said.The dogs were voluntarily surrendered to the county and will be up for adoption once they are rehabilitated.

Former Georgia Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan announced he is leaving the GOP and joining the Democratic Party, a move he says has been a long time coming as he has bucked heads with the Republican Party.Duncan, who served as lieutenant governor as a Republican from 2019 until 2023, wrote in an op-ed in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Tuesday that his path to becoming a Democrat began before President Donald Trump attempted to overturn his loss to former President Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election, which Duncan criticized at the time."My journey to becoming a Democrat started well before Donald Trump tried to steal the 2020 election in Georgia," Duncan wrote in the newspaper."Theres no date on a calendar or line in the sand that points to the exact moment in time my political heart changed, but it has," he continued. "My decision was centered around my daily struggle to love my neighbor, as a Republican."GEORGIA GOP EXPELS FORMER LT. GOV. GEOFF DUNCAN FROM PARTY, CITING ALLEGED DISLOYALTYDuncan pointed to several policy issues that played a part in his decision to change parties, criticizing Republicans for their handling of issues such as health care, Medicaid, gun safety, immigration and how to help poor people.He said his time in office taught him thebest way to "love my neighbor" is through public policy. Before his time as lieutenant governor, he served in the Georgia House from 2013 until 2017. He opted not to run for re-election as lieutenant governor in 2022.The former Republican said GOP lawmakers have argued for decades that the solution to not having health insurance is to have a job, but noted that most uninsured people in the Peach State live in working households yet do not have insurance because of affordability or eligibility."So, the reality is they have a job, just the wrong job," Duncan wrote. "One that doesn't offer health insurance or generate enough spare money each month to afford their own health insurance plan."REPUBLICAN DOOLEY JUMPS INTO GEORGIA'S SENATE RACE WHILE TOUTING SUPPORT FOR TRUMP AND TAKING AIM AT OSSOFFDuncan also said the Trump-backed spending bill that was signed into law last month will leave Medicaid funding "in shambles," as it cuts hundreds of billions of dollars from the government program. He also criticized the measure for its cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, more commonly known as food stamps, and its impact on ensuring children do not go hungry at school.Duncan pointed to polls showing support for gun control measures such as universal background checks and red-flag laws.He also criticized the Trump administration's mass deportation immigration policies that he said "have turned into a lesson on how not to love your neighbor." He said that immigration policy should focus on securing the border, deporting those in the country illegally who have committed felonies, but that a path to citizenship should be created for other migrants in the U.S.Duncans party switch comes after the Georgia Republican Party expelled him from the party earlier this year over alleged disloyalty. The party's resolution cited his endorsement of Biden in the 2024 presidential election and, once he dropped out, his endorsement of former Vice President Kamala Harris, as well as alleged efforts to undermine and sabotage some Republican candidates, including current Lt. Gov. Burt Jones and failed 2022 Senate candidate Herschel Walker.The former Republican also spoke at the Democratic National Convention in August in support of Harris.Duncan has been a fierce critic of Trump and the Republican Party in recent years, particularly since the presidents efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss and the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot."The list of reasons why Im now a Democrat continues to grow," Duncan wrote. "Most importantly, my decision puts me in the best possible position each day to love my neighbor."
