Wednesday things really start to ramp up, however as big Wall Street players like JPMorgan Chase & Co, Delta Airlines Inc and Blackrock Inc are all expected to release their latest earnings reports.
“Beam Me Up, Scotty!”
Wednesday is also the day thousands of Trekkies across the globe have been waiting for their entire lives as Star Trek icon William Shatner blasts off with Jeff Bezos’s Blue Origin for the company’s second suborbital spaceflight.
Originally scheduled for a Tuesday launch, the mission was delayed to the following day due to high wind concerns at the launch site.
