He couldn’t site the quote just yet as it is from the future. You’ll see.

Blue Origin’s proposal included using its Blue Ring orbital platform to deliver payloads to Apophis.

Whatever happened to that “free market capitalism” that the GOP has been screeching about for decades? /s

Not hard to see what’s really going on here. Nunes is worried that Trump is going to blame him for the stock price, and he’s trying to preemptively shift responsibility somewhere else.

I watched The Muppet Movie a few years ago and three notes into Rainbow Connection, I was 8 years old again.

It’s funny, we think of Retro Computing as a hobby that’s done by wizards in their workshops and basements as an act of preservation. These folks at NASA are reprogramming a computer 350,000 km away, whose launch predates that of the iconic Commodore 64 by five years, to do real science. An active space probe which is…

Awesome, we’re well on our way to our national transit system being 30 years behind everyone else’s.
