  1. This will be the first operational mission for NASA/SpaceX. The mission earlier this year was a test mission. There will be four astronauts aboard the capsule. This is not only the most number of people launched into space since the retirement of the Space Shuttle in 2011, it is the most EVER for a capsule design. The Japanese astronaut will have flown aboard 3 different rocket designs: The space shuttle, Russia's Soyuz, and SpaceX's Falcon/Dragon. This will mark the first time a black astronaut will live aboard the ISS. NASA plans on reusing this capsule and the first stage of the rocket for a future manned mission Musk isn't at the launch, because he's down with the sickness.
  2. I think Biden is still officially elected even if he dies. But since he would be 6 feed under on inauguration day, the line of succession kicks in at the stroke of noon, and the Harris would take the Presidential oath.
  3. Yeah it's not going to get better in 14 days. I fully expect another lockdown in 2 weeks, if not sooner.
  4. Up until a few weeks ago, my wife was entertaining the idea of driving up to Washington to see my side of the family for Thanksgiving. Even if WA didn't institute this quarantine policy, given the recent spike in cases, she changed her mind, thankfully. I feel bad for our daughter though. She hasn't gotten to see her grandparents or cousins since last Christmas.
  5. How the Libertarian Party (maybe) helped shift the presidential race WWW.VOX.COM The Libertarian Party presidential nominee got fewer votes than in 2016. Here’s how those votes helped change the election anyway.
  6. My worry is that if the vaccine is delayed too much, well into the Biden administration, many on the right would refuse to take take on the grounds that it is a "Democrap" vaccine. The same could be said if the vaccine was rushed in the late summer or early fall of this year - many Democrats might not want to take it because of the obvious politics of the vaccine. But the fact that it may be released during Trump's lame duck session is good for everyone, I think.
  7. I think the silver lining of having a vaccine approved and start to be distributed while Trump is still President, is that it will be supported by more people overall. The more people who get the vaccine, the better.
  8. I would NOT be surprised at all if Trump orders the Secret Service to stop protecting Biden, and for the military to cease the no-fly zone over Biden's house.
  9. A new agency needs to be created that can effectively investigate and police the executive branch. It's clear that it cannot police itself.
  10. I don't care how much they'll try to explain what it actually means, but the party's 2024 motto of "Throw the Jews down the well", kinda sounds like we should throw Jewish people down the well.
