@Apple The new iOS update is flawed. My entire phone functioning in properly. I can no longer see messages. Clearly I cannot write messages and see what I'm writing. The picture category is flawed as well. It's a complete mess. I do not appreciate any of this. Apple has gone downhill.
@Apple Deplorable Apple absolutely deplorable your prices go up and your product quality goes down. Used to be a company that cared you're clearly just in it for the money. There's no doubt about that. A good company that's gone horribly wrong over the years is greed has taken over.
@Apple Stop producing new phones and get it together with your update updates if you can't even get simple technology updates accurate what are you doing? Trying to re-create new things.
@Apple Why has the new iOS update? Left my phone completely dysfunctional? Not only am I unable to see what I'm writing. It only shows me the first maybe five lines. And then it's done and now all notifications are coming across my phone. I had over 100 and something
On November 30, 1960, Neil Armstrong, then a 30-year-old civilian research pilot for the NACA (soon to become NASA), made his first flight in the North American X-15 rocket plane, 65 years ago today. This was the beginning of an intense two-year period in which he would fly the X-15 seven times, reaching a peak altitude of 207,500 feet (39.2 miles) and a top speed of Mach 5.74 (3,989 mph).Key highlights of Armstrong’s X-15 career:First flight: 30 November 1960 (X-15-1, flight 3-8-16). A relatively gentle checkout flight reaching Mach 1.75 and 48,840 ft.
Highest altitude: 9 November 1962 (flight 3-33-56). Reached 207,500 ft (63.2 km), officially qualifying him as an astronaut under USAF/NASA criteria in use at the time.
Fastest flight: 26 April 1962 (flight 3-21-31). Hit Mach 5.74.
Most famous incident: 20 April 1962 (flight 3-19-36, the “bounce” into the atmosphere). Armstrong accidentally overshot the landing site at Edwards AFB by about 40 miles, skipping off the atmosphere like a stone because he held the nose up too long after re-entry. He glided back safely to Edwards, landing on the dry lakebed with only seconds of control power remaining. The flight is still studied today as a classic example of how quickly things can go wrong at the edge of space.
Armstrong flew the X-15 between his duties testing other exotic aircraft (Century-series fighters, paraglider research vehicles, B-29 mother ships, etc.). In total he logged more than 2,400 flight hours in over 200 different types and models of aircraft before being selected as an astronaut in NASA’s second group in September 1962.The experience he gained in the X-15—manual control of a hypersonic vehicle with almost no aerodynamic lift during re-entry, reaction controls in near-vacuum, and high-altitude physiological effects—was directly applicable to the Gemini and Apollo programs. Many historians and fellow test pilots (including Scott Crossfield and Joe Walker) have said the X-15 was the single most important stepping-stone that prepared Armstrong for command of Apollo https://t.co/tnIPFE6nfV when he stepped onto the Moon nine years later, a little piece of that black rocket plane with the white stripes was with him.
Farm workers are bent over harvesting bell peppers in Kern County CA. They work rushing to keep up with the pace the tractor sets. When you eat a salad or a fajita remember the hands that harvest this vegetable. #WeFeedYou
Judge Jeanine,
Sarah Beckstrom was only 20. She raised her right hand less than 48 hours ago and gave her life protecting strangers on Thanksgiving.
A true American hero.
Now it’s time to avenge her. Death penalty for Rahmanullah Lakanwal. Full force. No appeals. No mercy.
And mass deportation of every last threat Biden let in.
We will never forget Sarah’s name.
Lord, receive Your daughter. Comfort her family. Heal Andrew Wolfe. And give us the strength to finish this fight.
Rest easy, warrior. We’ve got it from here. 🕊️🇺🇸🫡
#JusticeForSarah #DeathPenaltyNow #NeverForget
@JudgeJeanine So many prayers for her loved ones. Thank you beautiful human for protecting us. You don't even know who I am and yet you stood before the country to protect me and everyone else in it. Rest in peace you beautiful human sending you all my love and prayers .
Our hearts and prayers go out to the family of 20-year-old Sarah Beckstrom of the National Guard — a hero who volunteered to serve DC on Thanksgiving for people she never met and gave the ultimate sacrifice. May she rest in peace. It is now time to avenge her death and secure justice.
Jimi Hendrix at Woodstock, 1969. Photo by Henry Diltz. Hendrix was the final act and began his two-hour set at approximately 9:00 a.m. on Monday morning, August 18, due to various weather and technical delays. By the time Hendrix took the stage, the crowd had dwindled significantly from its peak of over 400,000 to an estimated 30,000–40,000 people who stayed until the very end. His set was the longest of his career and included songs such as "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)," "Purple Haze," "Fire," and his first hit, "Hey Joe," as an encore. Along with his famous rendition of The Star Spangled Banner
