West Virginia, October. Friday night football. The Oak Hill Red Devils are hosting the Buckhannon Buccaneers. In small town America, Friday night football is a big deal.
Zach Davis, head coach for the Buccaneers, described what's ahead for the area's young people: "Our kids, some are gonna go to college and then go into some sort of professional career. A lot of 'em will go be a blue-collar worker, whether that's at Walmart, or a local business, or some sort of convenience store."
"I notice you're not mentioning the mines," said Koppel. "This used to be – this is coal country right here."
Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin launched six space tourists on a high-speed dash to the edge of space and back Friday, giving the passengers — including a husband and wife making their second flight — about three minutes of weightlessness and an out-of-this world view before the capsule made a parachute descent to touchdown at the company's west Texas flight facility.
