How many years have we been watching gun nuts open carry semiautomatic rifles into, like, a Dunkin' Donuts as a statement against government control? And they're now silent over a citizen being murdered by federal agents and then blamed for legally carrying a firearm?

"The government shouldn't operate missions, they should purchase science data from missions operated by private companies" is the techbro equivalent of "The government shouldn't help the poor, that should come from churches and charities", and then people don't get help from churches and charities.

I’m on board with this assessment, and it is also striking to me that McCartney has been an A-list celebrity continuously for 60+ years, probably longer than anyone else in history. I believe that every show he has performed in since 1963 has had him or his group as headliners.

"Antifa" is not, never was, and never will be an organization. It's a cause. Declaring "antifa" to be terrorism is making the viewpoint of being against fascism illegal. That includes anyone and everyone who opposes this administration. Things are about to get very very bad.

Last times I was in DC was for a Good Night Oppy thing. Walked past a charity run on my way to NASM to visit a dusty old friend, and then a spectacular array of kites being flown on the mall walking to the film festival later in the day. Post your last photo of DC to show what a hell-hole it is.

Looking down the grass of the national mall to the large pointed spire of the Washington Monument. Hundreds of families are stood on the grass flying kites in the air. Kites of all colors are flying all the way as far as you can see.

The testbed rover for the mars exploration rover mission. The rover is about 5 feet tall, has six wheels, lots of cables, its robotic arm is stuck out like it's fishing. The camera mast at the top has cameras pointed at the ground infront of it. The large solar panels are covered in dust. A large printed mars panorama of dark rocks on a beige/orange landscape is behind it.

Goddard Director resigned…

Dr. Makenzie Lystrup, director of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, announced that she will leave NASA, effective Friday, Aug. 1.
As center director of Goddard since April 2023, Makenzie also was responsible for guiding the direction and management of multiple other NASA field installations including Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia, Katherine Johnson Independent Verification & Validation Facility in West Virginia, the White Sands Complex in New Mexico, and the Columbia Scientific Balloon Facility in Texas.
Having served in a variety of science and aerospace civilian and government roles in her career, Makenzie contributed to a variety of NASA's priority science missions including successful operations of our James Webb Space Telescope and Imaging X-Ray Polarimetry Explorer, as well as development of the agency's Roman Space Telescope, and more. As a planetary scientist and astronomer, Makenzie's scientific work has been in using ground- and space-based astronomical observatories to understand the interactions and dynamics of planetary atmospheres and magnetospheres - the relationships between planets and their surrounding space environments.
We're grateful to Makenzie for her leadership at NASA Goddard for more than two years including her work to inspire a Golden Age of explorers, scientists, and engineers. Following Makenzie's departure, Cynthia Simmons will serve as acting center director Cynthia is the current deputy center director. She previously served as the Director of the Flight Projects Directorate at Goddard and has extensive experience supporting missions for NASA, DoD and commercial space and science missions. We are confident Cynthia is prepared to guide Goddard through this transition.
Before joining the agency, Makenzie served as senior director for Ball's Civil Space Advanced Systems and Business Development, where she managed new business activities for NASA, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and …

Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants. Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this. Do not.
