Pegasus is going to the Moon!

Built for NASA's LTVS contract, Pegasus provides Artemis Astronauts with reliable, safe, and highly achievable mobility on the Moon in 2028.

Capable of operating manually or autonomously, this next generation LTV can traverse 900+ kilometers of rugged lunar terrain at speeds up to 15 KPH. Pegasus leverages the resiliency of our spaceflight-proven rover technologies, enabling it to operate for at least one year and through the lunar night.

Pegasus is the first step in laying the groundwork for a Moon Base.

Been working in the Naval Nuclear Propulsion program going on 4 years. We have insanely high standards to keep our nuclear plants safe and have never had an accident in the program’s 70+ year existence and 7,600 reactor years of operation. Currently about 97 reactors are in service right now. Reactors are very safe. We have shown that in the Navy and overall, have had a very safe track record in the US civilian sector at large too. Time to kill the bad narrative on atom splitting.

This crash got a lot of attention when it happened a few days before Thanksgiving last year

This is from dash/body cam footage we recently obtained of it. Five k!lled. Three of them children

The man responsible? A parolee we wanted to know more about.

And now we do

2/2: “I know we’ve had data centers for decades, but the type and the technology and the resources they require have accelerated at almost a superhuman pace, and it’s hard to visualize what society and technology will be like in 10 years from now.”

Denver has instituted a one year moratorium on data center development.
City Councilman Kevin Flynn: “I know we’ve had data centers for decades, but the type and the technology and the resources they require have accelerated at almost a superhuman pace.”

Heres the full quote, 1/2: The (data center) facility that’s under construction now, I think, was approved under the general category of storage and trade facilities, which really doesn’t speak to what this facility is,” Flynn said.

I-70 between Limon and Genoa is 1 lane at times where cars have driven, the left lane is 1-3" deep in hail. #cowx

[Chris Bianchi @BianchiWeather]

It doesn’t get much closer than that. Looks like Campo dodged the fire by a few hundred feet.

Huge hat tip to first responders who saved Campo today.

@csgazette I couldn’t keep up with everything tonight.
And my story absolutely won’t be able to capture EVERYTHING that happened.
I hope some of my video captured the frustration the community has and the responses shared by Raeden and city officials.

[Alex Edwards @AMEdwards21]

I’m here for a second community meeting concerning #projecttaurus in Colorado Springs.
A California company, Raeden, is looking to build an #AI data center in the city.

[Alex Edwards @AMEdwards21]

@csgazette Oh man. Someone brought up China “being open for business” in regards to data centers.
This drew more jeers.
“Keep an open mind,” he said. The crowd was not interested with one person shouting “nope!”

The new giraffe exhibit at the @CheyenneMtnZoo is coming along and now you can really start to visualize what it will actually look like.

So far we have done 240 inspections on this highly anticipated project. #cheyennemountainzoo #zoo #giraffe #construction
