Artemis II's last test: Will its heat shield work? Excess charring on Artemis I's heat shield had NASA racing to understand what went wrong—and to ensure the technology was still safe for the current crew's high-speed reentry.

I can say without hesitation that this is the HARDEST article I have ever written, but I am incredibly proud of it.

If you have questions about Orion’s heat shield, given the issues with Artemis I, I hope I can provide some answers:

This might be one of my favorites from Artemis II. A cinematic alignment of the Moon and Earth, each cradled within the warmth of sunbeams.

The Life of Chuck, based on the Stephen King novella (which I've never read)

Just watched The Life of Chuck, a movie that teeters on the edge of cloying sentimentality but manages to keep its balance. There's a good mix of melancholy alongside the feel-good moments, and while it's maybe not as profound as it strives to be, it's a solid fantasy #drama.

This is my favorite scene from The Bible!

He holds a significant place in SNL’s history as the host of the third-ever episode in 1975. During that appearance, he became the first host to fully participate in sketches with the cast, helping to establish the format the show still uses today.

A chart from Our World In Data, showing the shift away from coal power in the UK - nearly 70% of electricity production in the late 1980s, to less than 0.1% in 2025.

There's a lot being shared right now about China's incredible shift towards renewable energy - and rightly so.

But this, from the UK, is equally astonishing & encouraging.

It's not just that change can happen. It's that it *is* happening.
