On June 14, 2016, James Savage, 9, of Los Banos, California, swam out to Alcatraz and back to San Francisco. Hong Hong was born with 15 fingers and 16 toes in January 2016 in Pingjiang County, China, believe it or not, his mother is also polydactyl. During the STS-37 mission, the eighth flight of the Space Shuttle Atlantis, astronaut Jay Apt's suit was punctured while spacewalking- but he managed to return to the ship unharmed!
