What kind of maniac lists 'often watches before it jumps' as a mitigating circumstance? You think I find it cute that it might be peering at me from a dark hole, calculating the best moment to make its big entrance?
@JK_Lundblad It took a long time for NASA to give Dragon XL Authority to Proceed (it got it in 2023). After that, there was discussions of replacing Dragon XL with Starship.
FLIP’s wheel tracks will pave the path to a Moon base.
The lunar rover is doing more than putting Astrolab technology to the test. FLIP sets the stage for humanity’s future on the Moon.
Payloads on the rover are hunting for water and helium-3. Tech demos study how to minimize the impacts of lunar dust. NASA payloads test technologies on the lunar surface.
Quite a sight to see the progress this team has made since May 28. Wreckage recovery from start to finish was completed in 9 days, and all debris has been cleared from Launch Complex 36. Huge shoutout to the team who have been working 7x24. We have started reconstruction and still plan to fly again this year. Will have more details on the new conop soon.
"What gives us purpose? We should look for love, get married and have lots of kids!"
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy encouraged the crowd to embrace family life as he spoke at President Trump's Great American State Fair kickoff on the National Mall.
Duffy delivered the message during the opening celebration for the America 250 festivities, a weeks-long event honoring the nation's 250th anniversary with a focus on patriotism, history and national unity.
Secretary Duffy's advice to all Americans:
"Get married and have lots of kids!"
Duffy shared the wisdom, saying that this is the path to find purpose and fulfillment in life.
"The strength of our country is rooted in the strength of our families. So to celebrate America 250, we should celebrate our American family."
The father of 9 made the remarks during his speech at the Great American State Fair kickoff on the National Mall as the Freedom 250 celebration officially gets underway.
