GOOD NEWS: Women In Space, A Flu Season Win, Viral Burger Gold

It’s Friday, so we’re wrapping up the week with a look at the stories making us smile.

First, there’s a big win for parents as flu season approaches: a new needle-free ‘FluMist’ nasal spray is now available for kids and teens. We check in on which states are offering it for free to help keep the family healthy this winter.

Then, we dive into the ‘viral’ moment that had the McDonald’s CEO’s own kids calling him out for his burger-tasting technique.

Plus, we celebrate some truly legendary longevity as we clear up the headlines surrounding Jonathan, the world’s oldest tortoise.
