 It's Friday, TGIF, it's owesome. I am Carl Azuz. Thank you for raping up your week with CNN student news. And congratulations to still Water high and still water Acoholma who got our social media ... question right this week. Now it's under the day's headlines.

 
First up,this is the first day when everyone can buy stock in Facebook. If you willing to pay for it. The social network site was scheduled to make its IPO this morning it stands for initial public offering. And it means that facebook stock is now being traded on Wall Street. The company has been building up to this for months. Exacutives have the meeting with protential investors figuring out what the price should be for each share of the Facebook stock. That price was finalized yesterday during its IPO each share was originally priced at 38 dollars. 
Some of the investors, mostly financial insitution made orders in advance. Everyone else had to wait until the stock market open this morning.
 
With that share price of 38 dollars, facebook is expected to raise 16 billion dollars with this initial public offering. That would be the biggest IPO ever for attack company, and it will be the third biggest IPO in US history.
 
For the business world it's also keeping an close eye of what's happening right now in Greece. The country held polimentary elections earlier this month, but the political party who won seats couldn't find the way to come together in a collition. 
 
Greece will hold new elections in June. Does the business world care about this for a reason? Yes! Greece has a major debts crisis and it intends to get bailout from other European countries. The concern is if Greece doesn't have a working government in place soon, it could miss making payments on its debts. There have serious consequence for Greece, since what happens in one country can impact the economy of others, this kind of crisis could have a ripple effects around the globe. 
 
Today's first shoutout goes out to Miss M, and first graduating class of W ...high school and W Texas. What country operates the SU spacecrafts?
Here we go! Is it China? Russia? France? Or India? You got 3 seconds, go!
The SU is a Russian spacecraft and there is one part at the international space station. That's your answer and that's your shoutout. 
 
In fact, the first croud ever went to the International space station got there inside the SU rocket. So did the most recent arrivals. This spacecraft got found on Tuesday carrying one U.S. astronaut and 2 Russian cosmonauts. Eventhough the SU is a Russian vehicle, it launches from a space pad in the nearby country of C.
 
The ship arrived the space station yesterday, one of the men onboard said the docking went very smoothly. The 3 new crew members are scheduled to be on the ISS for 4 months, 4 months on space. They're joining 3 other men who have been living on this space station since April.
 
The U.S Millitory is no stranger to technology. Got night vision gargle, you've heard of unman drone aircraft, we reported on our show. Now there is a new kind of robot that let troops see through walls around the corners. A reports on how the machine works and how it's maker hope it can help save lives.
 
You can toss it over a wall or even drop it from a 3-story-building. Known as the throw-bot, this is helping the soldiers and marines detect in surgents and IEDs in Afghanistan. 
 
It it essentially one point two pounds reconosence device that soldiers, marines, ...teams ...teams use for situation. You can take it, throw into the room and you can get a live video of the field what's going on. You s...  the robot by remote control and you see what it sees.
The re.. can be deployed in less than five seconds, it ... Inter sensors let it to see in the dark and it is small enough to fit a bag pack or a pocket. Thing I makes this robot unique is its size, back...  A lot of the big systems are 30 pounds 50 pounds or what it care for soldiers. US millitary is using over 2000 systems and more than 400 police swateams are using this throwbot. Some like this can save lives, if this goes first... you get eyes inside before you go in.
