How is that related to anything?

Trump just picked J.D. Vance as his running mate. After the assassination attempt on Trump, the narrative of the media changed entirely. Now, with Trump's VP pick, I don't see Biden get replaced anytime soon.

Crazy stuff. The country was one inch away from descending into absolute chaos.

I will vote for Biden in a heartbeat if he remains the nominee. I used to be a registered Republican but switched after the election fraud claims and January 6.

WL wasn't exactly in the path of totality but still had 98-99% of coverage. Photo taken through solar glasses with my phone.

bruh what. I really hope this is fake. What would have happened if they had taken it to trial? There's no way that a jury would find them guilty, right? He is 10 years old!!

https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/08/us/texas-abortion-court-ken-paxton.html this is just horrendous. I wonder if the AG even considered the fetus’s fatal condition before appealing. Last time I checked he isn’t a doctor. Also, the fact that women need court approvals to seek medical procedures is simply ridiculous.

the shutdown sequence for the booster engines and the stage separation were amazing. We're closer to making sci fi a reality.

Interestingly enough...I successfully performed EPs with a dislocated right shoulder, and I don't remember feeling any pain. I've thought about it. An explanation is adrenaline and I got into a different "mode" when I realized I had a malfunction and needed to act.

SpaceX does things differently. They prefer rapid design & testing and learn from their many failures. NASA does the opposite, probably because it's a government agency. Each has its own merits. I have no doubt that we will see significant improvement in the next Starship test flight. We have some important dates - Artemis II is scheduled in November 2024, and Artemis III is some time in 2025. It's an exciting era. To the Moon and Mars!

Have you considered switching to the other side for PLF?

update - got into aero & astro. A hard journey awaits but I'm excited to keep moving forward. Thank you all for your encouragement & support and for pointing me in the right direction. I believe I've made right decisions. I have a plan - first step is to learn. Second step is to start thinking about getting internships (I've already started doing this). Better to start early. Thanks again. Happy new year!
