Inability to feed three hots aboard the ship, that's what weakens warfighting capacity.

Wow! 🤩

Now that is a whole new perspective!

The first time humans went around the back of the Moon in 54 years.

See what they saw and hear what they’re thinking/feeling in this vid from Reid Wiseman/NASA.

Look at our spaceship — The Earth.

They were all alone out there for a bit.

#ArtemisII 🔭

Ossoff is good at this.

We must navigate the fates which the world would constrain us to earn the destiny we choose.

I suspect the logic is that the lack of bike lanes discourages people from riding bikes on this section of the street. Adding "unsafe" bike lanes would encourage riders and, in turn, increase risk. Akin to arguing that bike helmets increase risk by encouraging riders' sense of safety.

Humanity did that. Science did that. Publicly-funded research did that. Excellent universities did that. Diversity did that. International cooperation did that.

Artemis II is a perfect example of what we can do at our best.

Welcome home, Integrity crew!

One of the Artemis astronauts stood up immediately after splashdown and started collecting his carryon bags even though he was seated in the back row of the capsule.

In the first eleven months of 2025, 10,109 doctoral-trained scientists left the federal government. The losses were concentrated in agencies that fund medical research, regulate environmental standards and model climate.

CNBC: “Is Trump destroying a civilization a bigger upside risk or downside risk?”

incredible stuff

Never Avoids Catastrophe, Humiliation, Owngoal

The matter-of-fact way she asks what investors should do if Trump destroys Iran. Absolutely wild.

"Let's talk about tonight, this deadline that President Trump has set 8 p.m., has threatened to destroy a civilization. How does an investor process that? Is it a bigger upside risk or downside risk?"

Best possible assumption, @warnock.senate.gov team doesn’t interrupt pre-loaded social media posts while President is threatening imminent genocide. Dereliction on Dem front continues unabated.

Pinkies down, elbows up.

Death is always lurking. We see it in violence, in the wounds of the world, in the cry of pain that rises from every corner because of the abuses that crush the weakest among us, because of the idolatry of profit that plunders the earth's resources, because of the violence of war that kills and destroys.
