Tennessee Native Among Astronauts Stranded on International Space Station

In June, two American astronauts embarked on what was intended to be a brief test mission to the International Space Station (ISS). However, the mission has taken an unexpected twist, leaving the astronauts with no clear return date in sight. One of the astronauts aboard the Boeing Starliner is Barry "Butch" Wilmore, a Tennessee native and graduate of the University of Tennessee Space Institute (UTSI).

At UTSI, students actively participate in high-speed simulations to equip themselves for the challenges of space travel. These preparations are critical for facing the unexpected, as demonstrated by the current predicament Wilmore and fellow astronaut Suni Williams are experiencing.

The two astronauts are currently stranded aboard the ISS due to technical issues with their spacecraft. There is no definitive timeline for their return to Earth, with estimates suggesting that their stay could extend into 2025. The pair may ultimately need to depend on an alternate spacecraft to safely complete their journey home.

Asgard Brewing Co. Announces Their Last Day of Business

Asgard Brewing Co. and Taproom announced on social media yesterday that they were closing permanently. Many of their patrons flooded the comments on Facebook and Instagram, sad to hear the news about losing one of Columbia’s favorite spots.

There wasn’t much more explanation than this message:

Thank you for your years of loyalty and patronage to Asgard. The memories we have together will live on in Valhalla. Here’s to you and all you have given us. Skol!

Today: Premier Chiropractic’s Back To School Bash

Our back to school bash is happening today!

This is a FREE community event.

Where: our Spring Hill location. 2040 Reserve Blvd suite A, Spring Hill tn 37174

When: 10am - 1pm

What: Free community event, with a dunk tank, vendors and more!! We can’t wait to see you there!

Sat/Sun: Charity Yard Sale to Benefit A Freedom Journey

MASSIVE YARD SALE!!!! 

SAT AUG 17 & SUN AUG 18

7am-4pm both days 

Location: 1419 Hardison Rd, Columbia

100% of money raised goes directly to our rescue funds to help us continue changing the lives of neglected and unwanted dogs. If you aren’t familiar with our mission, please check out our website. We will have everything from clothes, household items, toys, tools, animal items… like a Walmart in my yard!! The way the sale works… nothing is priced (unless it is a big dollar item). Simply make a donation of your choice to AFJ and you can take whatever haul you want.

A Freedom Journey provides a safe place for severely neglected dogs where they can relax, get the vet care and training they need, have the best nourishment, and learn what it truly means to be a part of a family.
