@SpaceX Since I was halfway through when they stopped me, it would have been faster to have me go through. Clearly, they didn’t talk to the coast guard who told me I would clear the area well ahead of launch and be “escorted“.

@SpaceX Got stopped in the middle of the restricted zone while traveling south along the Florida coast. Have to hang out and watch. I should have about the best view possible.

@spacesudoer @elonmusk I just read the book “The Mars Project”. Published by U of Illinois Press in 1991. It is 91 pages in English and has no discussion about colonization or an ‘Elon’. Most of it is math and the last chapter is on interplanetary radio communication. I wonder what book you read.

The time has come to finish my tour of duty with the United Nations and to hang up my uniform in retirement from the US Army with 41.5 years. It has been an honor, privilege and a pleasure to serve.

@eutmmali1 @UNPeacekeeping @Gen_BartLaurent This was a great opportunity to understand what the European Union is doing to enhance security sector reform in Mali.

Not great since there was no Battle Assembly (government shutdown). The work to maintain readiness isn't going away.

@StandardKenya. The article talks about the limited direct US involvement in the continent but missed the US contribution to UN peacekeeping
