KAYE: Welcome back. It's 36 minutes past the hour now. Space travel is now officially a business. The first privately contracted resupply mission to the International Space Station will launch from Cape Canaveral tomorrow. Space X Corporation of California successfully demonstrated it could do the job back in May when it docked its spacecraft with the ISS. Now it has a $1.6 billion contract with NASA for a dozen of these cargo missions. It sounds so simple. Scooping up a small shovel full of dirt physical you consider it's being done on Mars by NASA rover called "Curiosity." This weekend, the space agency says it will try to activate "Curiosity's" robotic arm to dig up some Martian soil. The rover will then analyze its makeup. "Curiosity" is looking for minerals using x-ray defraction. This process has never before done on Mars. It was a wild card game that turned into, well, a pretty wild game. In Atlanta, the Braves lost to the St. Louis Cardinals in the first ever one-game wild card playoff. The fans littered the field after a call against the Braves in the eighth inning. With one out and runners on first and second base, the Braves hit a pop-up to shallow left field. Two Cardinal players let the ball drop. That would have loaded the bases, but the umpire ruled it an infield fly and the batter was called out. The rule was used to prevent fielders from letting a catchable ball drop in order to get two outs instead of one had they caught the ball. The Braves manager protested but was overruled. In the American League wild card, the Baltimore Orioles beat the Texas Rangers 5-1 to advance. If you're waking up this morning, but not quite feeling 100 percent, well, we may have some tips that can get you back to your best.
