>>Navy Federal Credit Union Accused of Racial Discrimination
(Alexandria, VA) -- The Navy Federal Credit Union has been accused of using racially motivated lending practices.

Navy Federal has released a statement standing by their mortgage loan practices and say they look forward to responding to claims in court.
>>Lunar Lander Tips Sideways, Still "Alive And Well"
(Houston, TX) -- The spacecraft that touched down on the moon last week is "alive and well" after tipping over onto its side. Houston-based Intuitive Machines guided its Odysseus lander onto the moon, marking the first touchdown by a U.S.-built spacecraft since the Apollo 17 mission in 1972. The company says all indications are that the lander is "stable" and at the intended landing site near the moon's South Pole. Shares in the company nearly doubled on word of its successful landing only to tumble around 30-percent in a late-day sell-off on Friday after word came out of the slight mishap.

(Hollywood, CA) -- The Bob Marley biopic tops the box office for the second week in a row.
