April is National Financial Literacy Month. The Share the Magic Foundation and the Alliance Group are partnering together to educate kids about financial literacy. They are launching a new 7-episode, YouTube-based edutainment series called “Money Buddies."  On Wednesday’s edition of “Closer Look,” we hear from Malcolm Mitchell, a former New England Patriots wide receiver, a children’s book author and the founder of the Share the Magic Foundation, as well as the co-creators of "Money Buddies," Samuel Howe and Travis Grenier of the Alliance Group.

 

At 6:24pm Eastern tonight, history is expected to be made. For the first time since 1972, humans will surpass low-Earth orbit on a return journey around the moon. Artemis II is expected to launch from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The lunar mission will take four astronauts — three Americans and one Canadian — on a ten-day mission. NASA Astronaut and Artemis II Pilot Victor Glover spoke to “Closer Look” in 2023. Jud Ready is the Executive Director of the Space Research Institute and the Principal Research Engineer at the Georgia Tech Research Institute. He shares the significance of the moon mission.

 

WABE politics reporter Rahul Bali joins “Closer Look” for an update on the final hours of the legislative session. He says several contentious measures are in play. One proposal would make certain local offices nonpartisan in Clayton, Cobb, DeKalb, Fulton and Gwinnett counties — including the district attorney's office. Gov. Brian Kemp has not indicated whether he will sign some of the bills moving through the gold dome.
