Exactly! This is a very important step to achieving two of the true game changers of spaceflight: In-space refueling and long-term cryogenic fuel management
Underrated achievement is the ship just being perfect after 22 hour on orbit. Huge achievement and bodes well.

Average WW2 event: le nazis... are le bad... Least interesting day from WW1 and the 1918-1923 period
WW1 beats it actually - WW2 has tons of narrative "moments", but actually 1943-1945 is just one big post-arc slog to finish off two foregone conclusions. Meanwhile WW1 has an insane third-act twist of Russia out/US in, and a Final Big Battle before it all falls apart in months.

Handful from Flight 15 so far - SWIPE! Lots to reflect on for Booster 22 but Ship 42 is still going strong! Mission is FAR from over at this point. 📸 - @NASASpaceflight NSF LIVE COVERAGE: youtube.com/live/9XM0lpVlvo0…

if you're feeling a little uneasy about the grounding of all US planes remember to spend as much time on your phone as possible. the more information you ingest as you scroll the calmer you will become

Reminder that in WWI and WWII the predecessors for what became the CIA and Special Ops were university PhDs from the Ivys and Oxbridge who spoke ~6 languages and had some specific niche interest that is what led them to the Middle East or China or wherever. Not warrior ethos guys
In WWII, the Office of Strategic Services was forged on a defining American truth: when the Nation is tested, Americans rise, endure, and prevail. The men and women of the OSS went into the night with no promise of safety, no guarantee of return, and no expectation of praise. They went because their country called. They went because the cause was just. They went because Americans do not turn from the hard road when duty points the way. That legacy lives today in America’s Special Operations Forces. They carry the Nation’s hardest missions into the world’s most dangerous places, often without recognition and always with extraordinary responsibility. Today, I am pleased to announce that Secretary Hegseth has signed a pivotal memorandum enabling the ASW(SO/LIC) to fully exercise its statutory authority in line with Congress’s intent by elevating the office to Under Secretary of War equivalence and restoring its name to the Office of Strategic Services (OSS). This action is a pledge that those sent into the hardest places, entrusted with the gravest responsibilities, and called upon when all else has failed will have a voice equal to the burden placed upon their shoulders. They will be given the resources, authority, and support required to prepare, to endure, and to prevail. In honoring our Special Operators, we honor the courage, sacrifice, and unbreakable American spirit that has carried this Nation through its hardest hours and will carry us forward still.

Every time I watch a starship launch I'm in awe of how amazing this piece of machinery is Then I remember how we are in November of 2026 and still haven't had a refueling demo, let alone a +24hr orbital coast

It will never stop blowing my mind that Operation Warp Speed was by far the best thing to come out of Trump 1, and no one can ever talk about it again because the president tried to kill the guy who headed it and never spoke of it again.

Truth and Reconcilliation commissions on these high crimes are BELOW the bare minimum.
NEW: The @nytimes confirms that ICE deliberately electronically "disappeared" tens of thousands of people in detention and ordered contractors to refuse to reveal where they're held to family or lawyers. 30% of all immigrants detained in ICE jails now have their location hidden.

Elon Musk has given more to US elections in the past year and a half than George Soros has personally given in nearly five decades, per a Fortune analysis of federal filings. Musk: $427.5 million to federal political committees since May 2025 Soros: $243.2 million personally since 1979 Musk’s lifetime federal total, $723.8 million, is about three times Soros’ personal total.
