I just wish their space suits didn’t look like something out of a Woody Allen movie.
I hope they are wearing their N95 masks while they’re up there.
Dr Bruce, in a rare appearance on the other board, stated that had we simply done NOTHING, this whole thing would have been over on 20 days.
A simple, yet very wise statement.
That’s assuming all those libertarians would have voted for Trump and not Hillary. I’m not sure that’s the case.
Edit: well Jim beat me to it.
For the first time in almost a decade, two American astronauts are heading to the International Space Station aboard a rocket launched from U.S. soil. The launch will take place at 4:30 p.m. EST on Wednesday, marking an end of nine years of dependence on Russia for transporting astronauts from around the globe to the space station.
The historic launch will take place at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, the site of the final launch of Space Shuttle Atlantis is 2011 and the same launch site where men blasted off for the first moon landing.
Elon Musk’s SpaceX, in partnership with Nasa, to launch Falcon 9 rocket from Florida carrying two American astronauts
In a historic moment a decade in the making, the skies above Florida will light up on Wednesday when the launch of a rocket born from a groundbreaking public-private partnership returns the United States to the business of human spaceflight.
Not since the retirement of Nasa’s space shuttle fleet in 2011 has the US possessed the capability to send its own astronauts into orbit, and the success of this week’s mission, formally known as SpaceX Demo-2, is likely to shape the direction of the space agency’s near-Earth ambitions for a generation.
At 4.33pm, a Dragon crew capsule attached to a Falcon 9 rocket is set to take flight from the Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canaveral, bound for the international space station (ISS). It will carry two Americans as test pilots, both veterans of previous space shuttle missions. They will remain there for up to three months while mission managers evaluate the spaceship’s performance.
I loved The Americans. That was an outstanding show. I was sad when it ended.
Today (Tuesday) the COVID-19 daily death toll increased from yesterdays count (for the USA and a number of recently reopened States).
How long will it take for people to start screaming "we told you so!"?
It's actually beginning. People are now seriously questioning the unreal and exorbitant cost of these universities, when much can actually be done online ( and for the record, I realize some things do require a classroom).
Mike Rowe has had some excellent columns on just what a ripoff these universities have become.
Exactly.
We just witnessed how the dims used a virus as a dry run to implement whatever they would want. Again, replace "virus" with "climate change" and tell me what would stop them from a top down "fundamental transformation" if they controlled both houses and the WH.

Both climate change and the response to this virus are designed for exactly that reason.
Did y'all notice the difference in the photos between Trump laying a wreath versus Biden laying a wreath.
