When your normal Friday-night script gets flipped because you know cats who can get you into a live jazz show and introduce you to new artists and music, in this case, the phenomenal singer-songwriter-arranger-chanteuse @emmasmith_music. (P.S. She even said I smelled really nice. 🥰)

Honestly, why anyone listened to Eminem and/or Kid Rock in the first place is a mystery to me.

“Annihilating Iran”—which can only mean the widespread use of thermonuclear weapons against Iran’s nearly 100 million citizens—is, I’m afraid, the Chekov’s gun of Trump’s second term. He has spoken too often and too explicitly about unleashing such wanton destruction for it to be an idle threat.

Crew 13 will launch at 11:10:43 EDT, weather permitting, with an instantaneous launch window. That means that if, for any reason, there is a hold at that moment, it's an immediate recycle for Friday. at 10:47 AM EDT. Hearing now that the closeout crew, aka "the ninjas," have left the crew arm.

View of America from the other side of the planet this week: the flush is accelerating, the cockpit is empty, and the parts stopped rattling loose a while ago. Now the parts are just falling off of the greasy, sputtering machine as it still tries to convince everyone things are great.

In serious news, today is a pretty sad/grim day at work. The existing contract comes to an end, and many good people who did not get offers to stay are leaving. Many left last week. Morale is, as far as I can tell, as far down as it can be.

Here’s the most incredible story you’ll read today. A small plane with four people aboard crashes in a field. Another pilot witnesses it. That pilot happens to be flying a bunch of skydivers. They offer to jump to assist, are given permission. The skydivers happen to be EMTs. Everyone survives.

EVs are awesome. I have a Hyundai Ioniq 5, which has a range of 300-350 miles. I charge it at home, which is convenient, and it costs me about $10 to completely recharge the battery. (84 kWh at 12 cents a kWh) Compare that to a similar size gas car, at 25-30 mpg, which would cost $54 to fill up.

Have to agree with Derek here. SLS took Artemis I around Earth and to the Moon on its first try; New Glenn reached orbit on its first attempt. This is Starship's 14th flight. It's a milestone for the company, yes.
