On this day in space! Oct. 10, 1967: The Outer Space Treaty is ratified to lay out how countries can use outer space

Black text on a white that says the following:

The allegations in the Cornell sexual assault case are deeply disturbing and gut-wrenching. Cornell University has failed this survivor.

I fully support Governor Hochul's decision to name Attorney General James as special prosecutor in this case and look forward to the complete and extensive investigation that is to come. 

Accountability and justice cannot simply be values, they must also be delivered.
