Every time I see one of those prompts like, “You become a billionaire, but you have to eat a Costco-sized jar of pickles every morning for the rest of your life—are you taking the deal?” I know my answer before I even finish the sentence. Becoming a billionaire is the dealbreaker. The pickles would be manageable. The billionaire thing would ruin my life.

In a study out of the University of Plymouth in the UK, when subjects were walking up to a massive hill, they perceived it to be less steep if they had a friend by their side.
With someone else there, the daunting seems more manageable. thegrowtheq.com/we-are-born-…

Artemis III team includes a Marine Corps F/A-18 test pilot, Army flight surgeon, and Coast Guard Reserve officer.
“[NASA’s] collective effort will lift all of us up on that SLS rocket when we hit launch day.”
Artemis III commander @AstroKomrade reflects on the path that led to here, and how this mission will lay the path for all future Artemis missions.

New: On April 1, Army Chief of Staff Gen. Randy George requested an in-person meeting with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth — an effort to calm months of tension between Hegseth and senior Army leaders, three officials said.
The meeting never came. The next day, he was fired in the middle of a meeting with Army staff.
“The staff proceeded to, one by one, either go and give him a handshake or a hug,” a Pentagon official recalled. By the next morning, George’s office had been emptied.

A U.S. official tells me the crew from this helicopter was "picked up" by a surface drone from Task Force 59, a Navy unit that specializes in the use of drones at sea. It's a potential first for the U.S. military.
Development was reported earlier by CBS News.

I am deeply saddened to learn that Lily was among the Navy personnel who lost their lives in the helicopter accident yesterday in Devon. Lily was a force of nature, the only serving female Commando, and inspiration to other young women - and frankly to me as well.
When I met her in Parliament in May 2025, I put the following post out on LinkedIn with the photo below.
"Her journey ... is one of courage, persistence, and service.
Lily is doing a fantastic job helping young people understand what life in the Armed Forces is really like, and why service matters.
We need more stories like hers in the public eye."
The names of the three individuals who sadly lost their lives this week have been released in full: Lt Cdr Chris Gayson, Lt Lil-Mae Fisher, PO Owen Green. My thoughts are with their families and loved ones at this terribly sad moment.
In a statement carried on the Royal Navy website, Lily's family say of her:
“Lily-Mae was an extraordinary woman, daughter, sister, and partner. To say she was full of life is an understatement: she took every opportunity to push her limits, achieve more, and bring out the best in those around her.
“We are so proud of everything she accomplished. She has left an immeasurable hole in our lives, and in all the lives she has touched and inspired. The family kindly ask for time and space at this difficult time.”

“What’s this?”
“Your next-generation space telescope, sir”
“No, no no, it’s not 2027 yet”
“It’s launching this summer now. We even did it under budget”
Our @NASARoman space telescope is officially slated to launch on Aug. 30!
