Elon Musk’s ‘Big F**king Rocket’ Is a Big F**ing Deal
SpaceX’s new spaceship changes the whole game of deep space voyaging by making it much simpler. This could be just the beginning of the New Space Age.

Not Voting - McCain (R-AZ)Senate Confirms Climate Change Denier To Lead NASA
... The final vote ― which was 50-49 along party lines ― came one day after the Senate narrowly advanced Bridenstine’s nomination, thanks to an about-face from Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) and a key vote from Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.). Rubio, who in September told Politico that he worried about Bridenstine’s nomination “could be devastating for the space program,” said in a statement Wednesday that he decided to support the nominee in order to avoid “a gaping leadership void” at NASA....
I didn't know that such events could be survivable.US, Russian astronauts safe after emergency landing
A booster rocket failed less than two minutes after launching an American and a Russian toward the International Space Station on Thursday, forcing their emergency — but safe — landing on the steppes of Kazakhstan.
It was the latest in a recent series of failures for the troubled Russian space program, which is used by the U.S. to carry its astronauts to the station.
NASA astronaut Nick Hague and Roscosmos' Alexei Ovchinin were subjected to heavy gravitational forces as their capsule automatically jettisoned from the Soyuz booster rocket and fell back to Earth at a sharper-than-normal angle and landed about 20 kilometers (12 miles) east of the city of Dzhezkazgan in Kazakhstan....

Excellent acting all around. I liked the casting of perennial sweet girl Kirsten Dunst as a (mostly) racist bitch.

:confusion-scratchheadblue:For all of the money we are spending, NASA should NOT be talking about going to the Moon - We did that 50 years ago. They should be focused on the much bigger things we are doing, including Mars (of which the Moon is a part), Defense and Science!
"As JFK famously said, 'We choose to go to the Moon not because it is easy, but because it is Mars.'"
Comments:"Moon is part of Mars is going to lead to moon truthers and Qanon people joining forces."
The sad thing is that because of this tweet, now over 40% of the US population believes the moon is a part of Mars...and will now obsessively defend this position here and elsewhere.
Lindsey Graham quickly agreed and William Barr has threatened to prosecute any astronomer who says the moon is not part of Mars.
Everyone knows that the Moon hides within Mars during the day. The Moon only comes out at night. Sheesh!

Part of tRump's best people
I was referring to the Earthlings who have made the trip. There will be no Martian cred offered here. Besides, it's pretty damn easy for a Martian to get to Mars.

I read a story today that says a football field sized asteroid or otherwise classified space rock has a chance of hitting the Earth in the next few days. I hope this close proximity of Jupiter doesn't up our chances.....I've got plans.Vrede too wrote: ↑Mon Jun 10, 2019 1:57 pmJupiter will be so close tonight, its moons will be visible with binoculars
