Why has it been so hard to inspire Americans to get behind the space program since Apollo? Here is something I wrote today about the Space Program and our country as they are today, and in contrast to what once was: xesl.wordpress.com/2026/10/12/a... #nasa #space #JFK #MAGA #trump #moonspeech

In colloquial terms, the journalist here has answered her own question. More importantly – who among us has not realized that there’s something more wrong with us for having allowed a mentally deranged man to run the most powerful country in the world.

@pbsnews.org asked whether air conditioning is a right in the age of global heating; I'd ask whether idling combustion engines cars is--in #japan, where people sleep in their running cars, lunch in them, party in, scroll--while idling for hours. @japantimes.co.jp www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VZk...

A scene not unlike that, with no idlers, no diesel, no cigarettes and a cognitive background free of MAGA and churches and and mosques, just nature and people in harmony with it.

I haven't? And why -- when I do to my page from my website, does your algorithm ask me to sign in, when I am already signed? I don't understand why people put up with your terrible design.

Well said—thank you, and what’s more abominable is they aren’t doing their job, which is, of course dragging criminals like the felon in the White House out on his ass and dropping him off on a deserted island with his criminal aiders and abetters.

Love that Vote Blue logo. Classic, right and hilarious. Who is the absolute artistic genius who developed it?

The one good aspect to this is we get to face our abysmally selfish and pathological stupidity for being at the technological level we’ve achieved, yet still burn fossil fuels like cavemen burned wood—and are paying for it by destroying life and our children’s future on the planet.

I'm an American aerospace enthusiast. I gave presentations in 3rd grade on the space program--watched Neil & Buzz land. I KNOW #spaceexploration-- human, robotic, lab, telescopic) is the best for our economy, inspiration, survival. I do not want #ElonMusk wrecking the environment. No spaceport #NDAs

The sad thing for the Russian people is the good thing for the rest of the world. The country is running itself into the ground with another stupid 18th and 19th century war, because it’s run by a knucklehead like the one in the White House.

“9/11 scarred our country in profound ways, but what we did after 9/11 scarred millions of other people. When we talk about 9/11, we often fail to center them.” #abdulelsaid @democrats.org He’s right.

www.npr.org/2026/09/15/g... THE EXPERTS WIN. This bullshit is the same bullshit fed us in 2003. ‘The regime #felonregime says the war was necessary to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon; experts say the country was not close to that before the conflict began six months ago.’ #bullshit

Mr. Mayor, Native New Yorker, here, living in Tokyo: A late congrats on your mayorship. I understand social democracy—but beg you to make your stance sound reasonable to moderates, so we can unseat the sociopaths & psychopaths. That’s Aim 1. Now, pardon me, but what’s a ruck? Is it a hike? #rucksack

All the who are sociopaths want #Ukraine to win the war #Russia – but one thing #felon47 is right about, ( accidentally or deliberately ), is we shouldn’t be #bombing oil refineries (we shouldn’t be bombing anything) – as it is hastening global warming. #globalwarming #東京では、車を運転していないときはエンジンを切ってください!

I just explained to my boss — in Tokyo, over sushi — the basics and some history behind the Apollo moon landing and how ships use Kepler orbits to travel to celestial bodies. I love talking spaceflight. #spaceflight #Apollo #Apollo #NeilArmstrong @nasaupdates.bsky.social @cmdr-hadfield.bsky.social

If you don’t vote him out–he, him (when they amend the Constitution, or he enacts martial law to stay)–and those who do his work—you, will be found out via AI on the Internet, with your cohort, and we, Americans will be implicated in history as worse than he is, because we kept him there. #midterms

Thank you Senator CDR. This—as with many other issues stemming from this administration—is most shameful and disturbing to me; I take this and all the things our country does very personally, as an American, especially because I’m traveling abroad; thank you for your diligence and patriotism.

Hilarious! Always a good tool when teaching — hilarity! I bet you wish you were in a real rocket just then, Colonel! But I am – you could say “been there done that.”
