Recently, Robert De Niro and Al Pacino have grabbed attention by revealing their upcoming roles as fathers once again, despite being 79 and 83 years old respectively.

Do you remember being asked what you wanted to be when you grow up? Some kids might say fire fighter, doctor or teacher and some will say they dream of one day heading out to space as an astronaut. 

But fast forward 20 years or so and very few of those dreams become a reality...except for in this case, the dream for one of those kids is becoming a reality. 

Katherine Bennell-Pegg has just recently started training to become the first Australian to go to space with our flag on her uniform. 

In this episode of The Quicky we find out what it takes to become a real life astronaut. What Katherine still has to overcome and what it feels like to be heading out of this world.

Do you track your significant others? 

For more than a decade now, we've had access to GPS technology that only seemed to exist in movies, but in 2023 it's easy to track someone's phone with or without their knowledge and permission. We can even throw a device into someone's pocket, wallet or car to keep tabs on someone's location. 

For some it feels a bit creepy, for others it strays into coercive control, and for some it's peace of mind. 

In this episode of The Quicky, we look at the ins and outs of tracking our significant others, is it healthy or harmful?

Last week justice Anthony Besanko found in favour of three newspapers when he decided that claims they made about former SAS soldier Ben Roberts-Smith being a war criminal, were mostly true.

So now that a judge in a civil trial has found that to be true, could this lead to a criminal conviction too?

Today we look at the case that has brought the Victoria Cross medal winner undone and what that means for him and others in the SAS who have been accused of the same.
