LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — The driver charged in a deadly crash in March, is set to be sentenced Monday. 20-year-old Victor Castro-Solano pleaded guilty to felony reckless driving for the crash, which happened near Nellis and Sahara.

Loved ones say Michael Guild
was a kind soul, whose life was taken far too soon. We spoke with Michael’s
mother and sister, who hope justice will be served.

“There are no words,
I’m telling you. There are just no words,” said Michael’s mother, Elizabeth
Guild.

“It’s alright mom, it’s okay,”
Michael’s sister Michelle Guild-Piatkowski told her mother.

47-year-old Michael Guild was
killed in that car crash back in March. His sister Michelle says not a day goes
by where she doesn’t think of him.

“All I see is my
brother underneath that car,” Michelle said. “Every day, I wish he
was still here. I just want him back, but I know that that’s not
possible.”... Read More

HOUSTON, Texas (CNN) — NASA is hoping a little star
power will help get young people excited about space. Interns at NASA’s Johnson
Space Center channeled pop star Ariana Grande, remixing her song “NASA”
and making it their own.

They even shot the music video that you can watch above.

Grande’s song is about a
woman who needs some space from her boyfriend and uses literal space and other
astronomical events to make the point. The interns switched up the lyrics to
share excitement for the Artemis Lunar Exploration Program, NASA’s plan to get Americans
back on the moon by 2024.

According to the space agency, the “educational
parody” is a part of a volunteer outreach project. ... Read More

NEW YORK (AP) — The 19th Grand Slam title that seemed so inevitable for Rafael Nadal during the first two-plus sets of the U.S. Open final suddenly seemed in doubt as Daniil Medvedev forced it to a fifth.

What had all the makings of a crowning morphed into a real contest thanks to Medvedev, a man a decade younger and appearing in his first major final. Medvedev shifted styles, upped his level and received an unexpected boost from Arthur Ashe Stadium spectators.

Truly tested for the only time in the tournament, the No. 2-seeded Nadal managed to stop Medvedev’s surge and hold off his historic comeback bid, pulling out a 7-5, 6-3, 5-7, 4-6, 6-4 victory in 4 hours, 50 minutes of highlight-worthy action and feature-film-worthy drama on Sunday, collecting his fourth championship at Flushing Meadows...

There is an abundance of rooms, plenty of stuff to do here,” Khorsandi said. “With
social media, now there is an opportunity for us to reach our target audience
