There’s even an entire TV Tropes page named after this phrase dedicated to media that can only be easily accessible in full through unofficial methods nowadays.

Sitting atop its thrust simulator stand, Booster 20 makes its appearance as the Mega Bay 1 door opened, moments ago. There is a road closure TONIGHT at midnight to roll to Massey’s. Cryo testing coming soon!

The sleepy desert town of Las Vegas, Nevada is seeing an unprecedented volume of tourism as up to five cars per day pass through the city now, and sometimes a bus.

The population of Las Vegas is only 2,400, and they have no clue how they will accommodate so many visitors.

A new player has entered the game… Booster 20 is ready on the cryo stand to begin prelaunch testing for Starship’s 13th Flight Test and is set to rollout to Masseys in the coming hours.

Liberals will ask, "Why can't you just enjoy it?" at the same time other Liberals post, "Everything I do in life is with the intention of making you miserable".

People are not angry because they can't enjoy things. They are angry because they correctly understand that the things they once loved are being converted into weapons for an ideology that hates them.

There is a very obvious sadistic side to Progressivism's hijacking of things like movies and video games. These people do not love the media they're destroying. They're not trying to make something good. They just want revenge against the normal world.

They want the actual fans to feel alienated and dispossessed. That's the entire point.

And every so often, someone is bold enough to admit it.

One week later, incredible progress. It’s a 24/7 operation with a solid path forward to launch this year, helped by a lot of luck. @NASA and @USSpaceForce have both been extremely helpful.

This team. Never tell them the odds.

Woke up thinking about the late John Glenn. This is me with him just after he landed at Kennedy Space Center onboard the Space Shuttle Discovery (STS-95) to become, at age 77, the oldest person to orbit the Earth.

One day, during my 6th year as NASA Administrator, John Glenn paid me a visit at my office in Washington, D.C.

He sat down and explained that he had been studying the effects of space on aging bodies, and he wanted me to send him to space so he could run experiments on his body.

At the time, John Glenn was a revered Senator of Ohio for 24 years.

But, he had been a hero to me and to America ever since he successfully became the first American astronaut to orbit the earth in 1962.

Up until then, the Soviets had been leaping ahead of us in space. They launched the first man, Yuri Gagarin, on April 12, 1961. And then they once again beat us by keeping a cosmonaut in space for a full day.

On Feb. 20, 1962, at 40 years old, astronaut John Glenn became the first American to orbit the Earth during the three-orbit Mercury-Atlas 6 mission, aboard the spacecraft he named Friendship 7.

At the time, I was about to turn 22 and I had just started as an ion plasma engineer at NASA Lewis in Cleveland, Ohio. On that day, I remember the hope and confidence John Glenn instilled in all of us to take space on as a country and beat the Soviets to the moon.

In fact, John Glenn became so much a hero to our nation that President Kennedy felt that we couldn’t risk losing him and declared that he would never go to space again.

So now decades later, here I was as NASA Administrator being asked by this American hero to reverse President Kennedy’s decree and risk sending him back to space again… this time at age 77!

I told Senator Glenn that he would need to pass the same physical exam standards the younger astronauts took – 20/20 vision, whether naturally or with corrective lenses, and a sitting blood pressure not to exceed 140/90.

He passed. But what most don’t know is that this is also me grabbing him by his flight suit from behind to prop him up, because he had lost his sense of balance from disrupting the equilibrium in his ears while in space 😛.

I couldn’t have our American hero stumbling around with all the press and crowd watching him!

I thank John Glenn for energizing America and our confidence to reach the heavens. He also always championed space and technology, in public and private spheres – especially during my brutal battles as a newbie Administrator on The Hill.

Sporty version to remind myself to be more consistent with my training and stretching, because all these years spent drawing are giving me the same posture as Chie from P4😭
