@rcb05 While I adore the new stadium, it just doesn't hold a special place in my heart the way the old one did. I was a student in the late 90's, and we had many memorable games there. I haven't been to enough games in the new stadium to have that same feeling, but the LSU game helped
@Pat__Jack@MarkWhittington@NASA We don’t need nuclear power to orbit our planet, chemical propulsion clearly adequate and on orbit solar power. We need it to explore other planets and moons farther from the sun. SR1-Freedom will launch on an Earth-escape trajectory with a positive C3.
@mightydudbolt Does it make me more of an adult to wonder how one person could not only order an army of such magnitude, but also the Cloners didn't even need a down payment?
Does it bother anyone else that they just took some random Jedi's word, and then toted the note for 10 years? Plot Fail
@Linahuaa Amen. And for God's sake...no more Death Stars, Starkiller Base, or whatever else you can concoct related to giant space stations. More Space Battles though please!
@AtomicCoyote61 Interesting. It said it would use a "6 man Apollo Re-entry capsule".
I recall there was a Venus fly-by (AAP) that would be somewhat shorter than any Mars fly-by, you'd dock two
Apollo together in Earth Orbit, and fly a two man crew. Still cramped, but technically feasible.
@johnkrausphotos@NASAKennedy Nice picture ! Pardon my ignorance, it hasn’t been widely reported on, but can they be reused like Dragon? Or is it like Apollo? 1 and done.
@TheEXECUTlONER_ This post is just weird. What does the lady being 91 years old have to do with it? For all you know, she’s 91 and extremely wealthy.
Secondly, you can’t compare somebody coming out and doing a job non-commercially vs for profit.
I love that NASA has an engaged community that is passionate about our hardware. I will just say that those who believe ML-2 and EUS were “right around the corner” are mistaken. We can spend billions more and put the schedule at risk, or we can focus our resources and limited time on going to the Moon. The people have waited long enough for this grand return--industry knows that, political leadership knows that, and at NASA we certainly know that.
Louis Leo “Lou” Holtz, legendary college football coach, Hall of Famer, bestselling author, and one of America’s most influential motivational voices, has passed away at the age of 89 in Orlando, Florida, surrounded by family. Born January 6, 1937, in Follansbee, West Virginia, Holtz rose from humble beginnings to become one of the most respected figures in college athletics. Over a remarkable five‑decade career, he led college programs at William & Mary, NC State, Arkansas, Minnesota, Notre Dame, and South Carolina. He transformed every team he inherited and captured the 1988 National Championship with the Fighting Irish. Holtz was preceded in death by his beloved wife of more than 50 years, Beth, with whom he shared a life grounded in faith, devotion, and service.
Holtz is remembered for his enduring values of faith, family, service, and an unwavering belief in the potential of others. His influence extended far beyond the football field through the Holtz Charitable Foundation and the many players, colleagues, and communities shaped by his leadership. He is survived by his four children, nine grandchildren, and two great‑grandchildren. Funeral arrangements, including a Mass of Christian Burial at the Basilica of the Sacred Heart at the University of Notre Dame, will be announced as details are finalized.
