If you want to know how they got the Saturn V heading in the right direction, watch this. Amazing what they could do with such little computer capabilities.

60 years after Gemini, newly processed images reveal incredible details

"I’m proud of this one. I brought a solar telescope to Florida to capture a Falcon 9 rocket launch transiting the sun. While these have been captured before, never with the details of the sun’s chromosphere, which makes this one the first!"

At the distance of 600 AU, this corresponds to a source power of 0.5–2 gigawatts

I'd bet everything I'll ever own it's just another comet. But it's fun to consider.

Unfortunately, as you've heard me bemoan, this same chart could be made over at the NIH and in health care. Ceding the lead to China and outside players. And we were #1 by a margin.

Not to mention renewable energy tech. We want coal so lets try to make it illegal in these here parts.

This is what strikes me about friends and family who are in favor of the Trump Administration, complete and total willing ignorance and willingness to look the other way at these things which will cost us down the road.

Heck, while we are at it, let us add our relationships with Western Europe, Japan, South Korea, Australia, and any other democracies (Here's looking at you Maple Leafs to the north!) and so many trade issues that will arise in the future from the random tariffs and how they were placed and politically manipulated.
