Thousands of Walt Disney World Resort guests struggle to function after riding Mission: SPACE at EPCOT. The NASA-style space travel simulator attraction is one of the only Disney Park rides that lets guests choose their intensity. The family-friendly “Green Mission” uses a light motion simulator and doesn’t spin. The “Orange Mission” truly simulates a mission to Mars with “a centrifuge that spins and tilts to simulate the speed and G-forces of a spacecraft launch and reentry.”

A man out on probation for drug charges less than a year ago and a woman from Douglas were recently arrested following a search at a local apartment. On August 7, 2024, at around 1:00 PM, Detectives from the Coffee County Sheriff's Office Drug Unit were conducting a proactive narcotics patrol in Douglas. During their patrol, a detective spotted 30-year-old Christopher Lamar Hawkins, who had outstanding warrants for fleeing police and methamphetamine possession, driving a white 2021 Kia Sorento. Hawkins was stopped in front of apartment 203/204 on N Wheeler Ave, where two detectives approached him. Breanna Henderson, 33, then came out of apartment 203 to "investigate what was going on with Hawkins" and appeared to whisper with Hawkins during his arrest. The report states that Henderson, who temporarily lived with Hawkins, began whispering with him "presumably about nefarious activities due to Hawkins's previous history with drug distribution and evading law enforcement."
