If someone feels that they are another race or ethnicity, who among us can judge them?

Could NASA have developed a new rocket and capsule for a comparable amount of money that they spent on their contracts with Boeing and SpaceX?

I think you can root for both increased public spending on space stuff, and private ventures. America would still be stuck hitching a ride to the ISS with Russia's Soyuz if NASA hadn't bitten the bullet and signed commercial contracts with Boeing and SpaceX.

Haley campaign lashes out at RNC, Ronna McDaniel over resolution to declare Trump presumptive GOP nominee WWW.FOXNEWS.COM Nikki Haley's campaign is lashing out at the RNC and Ronna McDaniel following a report that its considering a resolution to declare Donald Trump the presumptive GOP nominee. I would actually prefer the parties to get rid of the primaries altogether. Go back to smoke filled rooms where party bosses determine who will be the nominee.

Hungary also has a substantial (for Hungary) Gripen fighter contract with Sweden. Hungarian Air Force - Wikipedia EN.WIKIPEDIA.ORG

Yeah, quite amazing. JPL/NASA's record of successful missions around/on Mars is unparalleled.

After Three Years on Mars, NASA’s Ingenuity Helicopter Mission Ends WWW.JPL.NASA.GOV NASA has proven powered, controlled flight is possible on other worlds, just as the Wright brothers proved it was possible on Earth.

It was a long term mistake for Tesla to expand into China. They have Elon by the balls, and could simply snatch up all of Tesla's factories and tooling if he gets on the wrong side of Xi.

Ah X. Th platform where he not only officially launched his campaign, but poetically ended it.

Rumblings on Twitter that Desanctimonious is going drop out today and endorse Trump.

Not a fan of Biden. Sorry. I'll vote for him (again) if he faces Trump, but he's not my type of candidate. I guess Haley isn't either.

Trump v Biden: I vote for Biden Haley v Biden: I vote for Haley (or a compelling 3rd party candidate)

I don't want to see any of those civilian planes crash of course, but it is good to hear that they are unable to repair them due to sanctions.

Compartmentalized, secret programs are not unheard of. Vice President Truman didn't even learn of the Manhattan Project until AFTER he was sworn in as the President after Roosevelt died. Manhattan Project - Wikipedia EN.WIKIPEDIA.ORG

This story has been simmering for awhile now. The Investigator General of the Intelligence Community (ICIG) had a closed door meeting in a SCIF with a bipartisan group of lawmakers this morning. While we don't know what was revealed or said, several of the lawmakers are claiming that the ICIG confirmed that David Grusch, the whistleblower from last year, was legit. While that doesn't mean that "aliens exist", it does indicate that what Grusch told Congress last year was truthful, and that people within the government did try to retaliate against Grusch. Rep Burchett after the meeting with the ICIG: "I think they're covering this thing up and these guys pretty much verified that."

He's the head of the military. You at least tell your boss you'll be taking time off.

Iran is not so insane or stupid to pick a fight directly with the United States, so hopefully it's not likely!

Houthis fucked around and now they are finding out. I mean, what did they expect? They weren't hitting just Israeli assets or even American ones. They were indiscriminately targeting pretty much any commercial ship that passed by their territory.

Do you ever wish you were the pizza guy who was paid 10,000 bitcoins from like 15 years ago?

World's best client makes impassioned plea during civil trial:

Either we increase social security taxes on everyone or we raise the retirement age. Doing neither isn't a sustainable "plan".
