After weeks of delays, NASA is finally poised for the launch of a historic flight this week to send a crew of four astronauts on a trailblazing nine-day trip around the moon and back.

The Artemis II mission — with commander Reid Wiseman, pilot Victor Glover, astronaut Christina Koch and Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen — is scheduled to lift off Wednesday, April 1, at 6:24 p.m. EDT, atop a Space Launch System rocket, the most powerful operational booster in the world.

NASA began its launch countdown Monday afternoon. As of Tuesday morning, the weather forecast is holding steady with an 80% chance of favorable conditions for launch.

"Hey, let's go to the moon!" exclaimed Wiseman, speaking to a throng of reporters after he and his crewmates arrived at the Kennedy Space Center on Friday. "I think the nation and the world has been waiting a long time to do this again."

They originally planned to launch in early February, but the flight was delayed, first by hydrogen fuel leaks and then later by problems with the upper stage propellant pressurization system. NASA says both issues have been resolved, clearing the way for blastoff.

Teamworks Acquires PFF's Enterprise Business, Cementing Position as the Leading AI Platform in American Football​

About Teamworks
Teamworks is the leading operating system for elite sports, trusted by more than 7,000 organizations worldwide. The company combines enterprise SaaS with proprietary data and advanced analytics to deliver intelligent products that power player evaluation, game strategy, performance development, and daily operations. By unifying workflows, video, and secure data sources into a single AI-driven platform, Teamworks serves as both the technology backbone and the intelligence engine for modern sports organizations.

Founded in 2006, Teamworks has expanded its data and AI capabilities through strategic acquisitions, including Zelus Analytics, Telemetry Sports, Sportlogiq, and PFF's enterprise business.

About Pro Football Focus
Since 2006, PFF has built the world's most comprehensive sports data and analytics database, relied on by top industry professionals and fans alike to power winning decisions. PFF analyzes every player and every play of every game to calculate player grades, in-depth performance stats, and rankings for the NFL, fantasy football, and NFL Draft. PFF is transforming sports strategy and decision making across fantasy, betting, in the front office, and on the field.



On March 30, 2026, Teamworks officially announced the acquisition of Pro Football Focus (PFF)'s enterprise (B2B) business. As part of the transition, PFF owner and CEO Cris Collinsworth will serve as an advisor to Teamworks while retaining full control of PFF's independent consumer-facing business.

Key Details of the Acquisition
  • Segmented Sale: Teamworks acquired the data and analytics platform used by all 32 NFL teams and over 240 Division I programs.
  • Independent Consumer Arm: The consumer business (including PFF.com, podcasts, fantasy football, and betting tools) was not included in the sale and will remain under Collinsworth's leadership.
  • Ownership Stake: Collinsworth and PFF’s minority investors, such as Silver Lake and Western & Southern Financial Group, will become shareholders in Teamworks.
  • Workforce Impact: Approximately half of PFF's employees were expected to move to Teamworks, primarily those on the data side, while others faced layoffs during the transition.
  • Broadcast Integration: The split ensures that PFF player grades can continue to be featured on NBC’s Sunday Night Football, as the consumer media arm remains under Collinsworth's control.
The deal is reportedly worth more than $100 million, though specific financial terms were not officially disclosed.

Just sayin': Who knew Cris Collinsworth was the primary owner of PFF?
