So let's move to our next story.
A Wisconsin city votes for a measure that could restrict future data center development.
So this week in Port Washington, Wisconsin, a suburb of Milwaukee, residents voted for a measure that said certain large tax incentives for developers have to get voter approval before moving forward.
That could derail future big data center development in the area.
The city already has a big data center project in the works that's not going to be affected.
Politico is calling this, quote, the nation's first anti-data center referendum.
How likely do you think we are Joanna to see similar restrictions from voters in the future?
Why do you think this is happening now, particularly?
It seems like tech companies are spending all the dollars they have, borrowing billions more to build these data centers.
And it makes me wonder if pushback from regular Americans could keep that development from happening and what that would mean for these companies putting everything in to data centers.

So let's get to our final story.
Artemis 2 sets the record for flying the farthest in space.
So this week, four astronauts aboard the Artemis 2 test flight around the moon set the record for going farther than any other humans ever have, about 250,000 miles from Earth.
The astronauts
said they hope the record is not long-lived.
And the mission has gotten a lot of attention, and NASA's also made it really accessible.
There's a YouTube channel that provides continuous coverage of it.
