As long as we keep defining groups by the actions of extremists this circle of violence will never end. "Liberals" did not do this anymore than "Conservatives" did the Minnesota State Capital shooting. Extremists of those ideologies did it, not the whole.

It’s literally the Obama peace deal…

RIP to this legend. Not only was he extremely memorable on Mr. Rogers Neighborhood, being a part of almost every musical guest as owner of the music shop, but he also was a celebrated Jazz Guitarist and Professor of Jazz Guitar at Pitt for 50 years.
‘Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood’ star Joe Negri dies days before 100th birthday, reports say >>> tinyurl.com/yttj67wm?utm_sou…

Also while as a Professor at Pitt he helped to create the first ever degree in Jazz Guitar for any University in the world.

Inspiring. Thanks for all your support. We will return to flight as soon as possible!
We go where we need to be, and today that was @NASAKennedy. Some of my senior engineers and I spent time at @blueorigin with @JeffBezos and @davill, speaking with the workforce and seeing the damage at LC-36 firsthand. I appreciated the opportunity to hear directly from those working through the aftermath and better understand the challenges ahead. There is a lot of work to do, but this is exactly why people choose careers in aerospace, whether at NASA, Blue Origin, or across the industry. The talent in this field thrives under pressure and performs at its best when solving the toughest problems. We have been saying for months at NASA that we are not going to sit on our hands and wait for the capabilities necessary to achieve the nation’s most pressing objectives. We are going to take an active role alongside our partners, just as we did in the 1960s, to overcome setbacks, remove obstacles, and deliver the intended outcomes. @NASA is committed to helping the Blue team recover, continue to advance their lunar lander and get New Glenn back to launching as soon as safely possible. America’s greatest achievements in space were never the result of avoiding setbacks. They came from overcoming them. We have done it before, and we will do it again🇺🇸

#OneSPACE Couldn’t have said this any better than Kiko has. This should be everyone’s opinion today.
Couldn’t agree more with Shana. Thinking about the entire team at Blue. We’ve been there before and there are very few things worse than losing a vehicle on the pad. Remember @blueorigin, it’s the darkest before the dawn and you will be measured not by this anomaly, but by how you respond. We are all rooting for you to get safely back to flight as soon as possible!

So the Judge basically said “yes there is major potential for illegal activity to happen from this but I don’t need to block it until they actually do those illegal acts” 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️ apnews.com/article/trump-ele…

Replying to @SpaceX
Chun will also join Starship’s first commercial spaceflight around the Moon

Didn't people say USAID was a money laundering operation for doing shit like this before Trump? I'm sure of course his supporters will obviously speak out against this hypocrisy 😄😂🤣😆
Some auto-rickshaws in India are displaying posters of President Donald Trump and “Happy Birthday America!” as part of a U.S. campaign marking the upcoming 250th anniversary of American independence.

Good sign, ATC Advisory for Starship potential debris issued 15 minutes ago still says 5/21/2026 for launch fly.faa.gov/adv/adv_otherdis…

Politics aside you have to admit that Kash Patel is 1000% a real life Tom Haverford. Aziz Ansari and Colin Jost as Kash and Pete Hegseth are some of the most accurate portrayals since Tina Fey as Sarah Palin.

I find the comment section pretty hilarious. If this was a Chinese company this video would have instantly been blasted for the mega Starship vibes on booster and catch tower, but nothing but compliments on this one.
Today marks the beginning of a new era. Introducing: Cowboy Space Corporation. We are building orbital infrastructure for the AI era: a fully integrated system of rockets and satellites designed to deliver high-performance compute and optical data transmission directly from Low Earth Orbit.

I'm OK with this as long as they continue the ideas pushed by Clinton, Bush, and Obama to make sure they keep focus on education, evaluation, and resources to all kids, not just the top ones. The wording seems imply that is the goal, so I'm optimistic.
MAKING AMERICA HEALTHY AGAIN 🇺🇸 President Trump is officially bringing back the Presidential Fitness Test award, alongside action to prioritize fitness and athletics for our nation's youth.

If 2025/2026 has taught us anything it is that we are now in an age where politicians choose their voters instead of voters choosing their politicians.

Remember when the argument for the ballroom was that it was all privately funded and not being paid by the taxpayers? Y’all fell for that shit again while Trump pockets the money. How many times does he have to swindle the American people before his followers see the scam?
Apr 27
Lindsey Graham says they are going introduce legislation that’s going to authorize 400 million dollars to be spent on building the ballroom: We pay for it by offsetting it with customs fees. The sooner we get the ballroom built, the better it is for the country.

You would think somebody would have the common sense over there to say "yeah that's probably not a good thing to post..." but alas the White House account is definitely run by teenagers....

So 2nd stage did ignite, but appears to have cut off early. So New Glenn was only about 30 seconds away from a successful deployment. But a very critical 30 seconds.
A second orbit dataset from SpaceForce for the BlueBird-7 sat shows it in a 265 x 485 km x 43.0 deg orbit, indicating that the upper stage delivered about 1000 m/s, mostly changing orbital inclination. This is about half the dV that would have been needed for the target orbit
