@Wendys@NoContextHumans Been a long time since I went to a Wendy's that cobbled together enough workers to serve a fresh burger and fries...and do so in a timely manner. Unfortunate as I always used to love Wendy's.
This is the shot you can’t get from the press site. This camera was sitting a few football fields from the SLS rocket at Pad 39B for days before launch, baking in the Florida sun, surviving rain, humidity, and whatever else the Cape threw at it. No photographer behind the viewfinder. Just a camera, a sound trigger, and a bet.
The way pad remotes work: you set your camera up days in advance, dial in your composition, lock everything down, and walk away. You don’t touch it again until after the launch. The shutter fires on sound activation
with a @MiopsTrigger smart+ trigger. With SLS, the four RS-25 engines ignite six seconds before the solid rocket boosters, so the camera is already firing before the vehicle even leaves the pad. You get home, pull the card, and find out if you nailed it or if a bird landed on your lens two days ago and left your a present and you got 400 photos of soemthing crappy.
There’s no formula for protecting your gear this close. Some photographers build wooden boxes with doors that pop open. Some use plastic bags and tape. Some do plastic or metal barn door rigs on hinges. I tend to leave mine open just in plastic rain covers because boxes limit my composition and setup time, but that means your cameras are more exposed to the elements and whatever energy and debris comes off the pad. You’re basically gambling a camera body every time you set one.
That’s what I love about this genre. There’s no playbook. You make it up as you go. Every time is an adventure.

Kid just SMOKED a CNN reporter outside of Artemis II launch:
CNN: "Why do you want to be here?... Why do you love being a part of history?
Kid: "We're going back to the f*cking moon, that's why!" 🤣
The damage pattern on the vertical stabilizer is interesting. It looks more like structural contact or debris impact rather than fragmentation you’d expect from a missile proximity detonation. If two KC-135 Stratotankers actually made contact mid-air, the tail section would be one of the most vulnerable areas during a crossing or altitude separation maneuver.
Also notable that the aircraft diverted to Ben Gurion Airport in Israel instead of returning to a U.S. base in the Gulf. That suggests either the collision occurred relatively close to the eastern Mediterranean corridor or that Ben Gurion was simply the nearest suitable runway for an emergency heavy-aircraft landing.
If confirmed, a KC-135 vs KC-135 mid-air collision would be one of the rarest tanker incidents in recent USAF operational history.
Photos of a U.S. Air Force KC-135 Stratotanker, at what appears to be Ben Gurion International Airport in Israel (note the car’s license plate), with visible damage to the tail have emerged following the crash of a KC-135 due to a mid-air collision with another Stratotanker earlier tonight over Western Iraq.
🚨 BREAKING: This Austin CBS reporter is being praised nationwide for REFUSING to follow orders from a higherup to IGNORE massive support for Trump and Israel obliterating Khamenei
"They don't want us to focus on this..."
"Alright. Well, I AM."
THAT'S how you do it! 👏🏻
🚨 DEMOCRATS ARE IMPLODING!
CNN just got FORCED to air a Democrat Iranian-American absolutely EVISCERATING her own party live on air for trashing President Trump!
She unloaded HARD:
“It’s imperative the Democrat Party WAKE UP and get past their dislike of President Trump!”
“I AM a huge Democrat. I am INCREDIBLY disappointed with my party! I do NOT see myself in them in this moment.”
@ClownWorld 🚨🇮🇱🇮🇷 In what might be some of the most powerful footage to come out of today, Israelis and Iranians are dancing and celebrating side by side in the streets of London.
Over the last week Liberals have:
- Taken the side of Canada over the United States in Olympic hockey
- Taken the side of illegal aliens over American citizens
- Taken the side of the "Death To America" Iranian Regime over the United States
Remember in November!
Benny Johnson exposes “Everything the media has told you about Alex Pretti is a lie”
- “He was actually a professional agitator who was hunting down ICE agents and actually had broken a rib in a confrontation with federal agents a week before. Yet he was right back out on the streets, this according to CNN”
- He brought a loaded Sig Sauer P320 to the Minneapolis ICE protest
- The media is showing “an AI generated fake person”
- He was known to federal agents for aggressive behavior
- He had a digital history of hunting ICE agents on the Signal app
“According to Alex Pretti's parents, he had quit his job. He joined some kind of group and his parents were worried about his safety. Alex Prety spent his time hunting down ICE agents.”
Barack Obama's ICE chief gets an award for 920,000 removals
Donald Trump’s ICE chief gets called a Nazi
It’s the same person, Tom Homan
In 2012 Obama deported 409,000 people
In 2025 Trump deported 290,000 people
THE DIFFERENCE IS THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA BRAINWASHING
