@goldjacket237@CBKReport@KalshiSports@goldjacket237 are you awake that Wagler has found his stroke?? This is pre the #haircut levels. If the current day Illini played the Guangdong Tigers with Kofi Cockburn, I would give the edge to Andrej and the boys.
@goldjacket237@CBKReport@KalshiSports If Tomislav and Zvonimir don’t show up, could be a fantastic game. VCU is an A10 champion with the best win in March. I will give them that. The Illini have to be aggressive at the rim and defend in transition.
Please take a moment and pray with me.
Lord Jesus, I have sinned. When courage was required, I was a coward. When truth was needed, I stayed silent. When I should have loved, I wounded. Have mercy on me, and remake my heart.
I hate how badly, intentionally misleading this is.
Project Athena explicitly does not benefit solely SpaceX, as both Blue Origin and Rocket Lab would be major players.
The high performance liquid hydrogen capability that the RS-25 represents and the solid rocket motor production for civilian space have been replaced by methalox engines enabling partial to full reuse. Implying that the capability is worth anywhere near the current cost is delusional.
The industrial manufacturing capacity can be repurposed by giving the smaller SLS contractors a clear timeline for the transition, and chances to work on components for bases on the moon and Mars.
The entire argument is that we need to keep throwing good money at our sunk costs, the future of Artemis be damned.
The country does not need 8.4 m aerospace structures or a test stand for ultra-heavy hydrolox stages. Our country needs to return to the moon in a way that enables us to do more than flags and footprints 2.0 every other year. The route to what we actually need long term does not run through keeping SLS production going indefinitely, and smothering any attempts to replace it actively hurts the long term future of Artemis.
Is the point of NASA to just keep the same people happy because their predecessors legitimately won a contract 50 years ago, or is it to explore space?
I love being alive.
This planet, this universe, it's unbelievably beautiful.
The more I learn, the more I understand, the more I realize how lucky I am to experience or know anything.
Every moment is a profound experience when you take a moment to contemplate your existence.
Even if I never achieve any of my goals, even if I don't get the gift of a long life, I will be content for I have felt, thought and understood. The highest honor a collection of fundamental particles and forces could receive.
