This was well known during the election. Dems voted him in, regardless.

Or was that because?

It’s supposed to fly early-to-mid May. Can’t wait

BYO2: NASA Planning to Set First-Ever Fire on the Surface of the Moon.

As part of an experiment appropriately dubbed Flammability of Materials on the Moon (FM2), the researchers are looking to challenge a standardized test, known as NASA-STD-6001B, which involves holding a six-inch flame to a material to evaluate its safety. If it burns more than six inches up or drips burning debris, it fails the test. The standard is required for the “evaluation, testing, and selection of materials that are intended for use in space vehicles and associated Ground Support Equipment,” according to NASA.

But there’s one glaring problem, as the scientists point out in their latest mission outline: the test is “conducted in normal Earth gravity, with the assumption that if a material passes the 1G test, then it is considered safe for spaceflight.”

However, the partial gravity on the lunar surface could throw our understanding of fire for a loop once again — a crucial question scientists are racing to understand, as an open fire inside a lunar habitat, let alone the tight confines of a spacecraft, could easily prove disastrous.

But the testing ought to be a blast.

THE NUMBER OF THINGS GLENN GREENWALD PRETENDS NOT TO UNDERSTAND IS LIKELY GREATER THAN THE THINGS HE UNDERSTANDS:

OBAMA ALUM SAYS WHAT?

CUE THE LAMENTATIONS OF THE LEFT’S WOMEN: Gov. Ron DeSantis unveils proposed new Florida congressional map giving GOP four extra seats. “Florida got shortchanged in the 2020 Census, and we’ve been fighting for fair representation ever since,” DeSantis said in a statement to Fox News Digital, which first reported on the new map. “Our population has since grown dramatically, and we have moved from a Democrat majority to a 1.5 million Republican advantage. Drawing maps based on race, which is reflected in our current congressional districts, is unconstitutional and should be prohibited.”

SHAME WORKS:

THE SECSTATE WE NEED:

YOU HAD ME AT “OBAMA IS A LIAR”:

THEIR “PRINCIPLES” ARE LARGELY BASED ON AN UNINTERRUPTED FLOW OF OTHER PEOPLE’S MONEY: Houston, Dallas And Austin Cave On ICE. “When last we checked, Democrat-controlled Houston was ready to cave on their anti-ICE police guidelines under the pressure of having the state withhold $110 million for their scofflaw ways. Now we have the follow-up: Houston, Dallas and Austin all caved.”

THE NEEDS OF THE PARTY ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE, COMRADE:

THE SECWAR WE NEED:

I CAN SEND A MESSAGE TO NEWSOM IN JUST TWO WORDS: Gas station owner speaks for every Californian with four-word message to Gavin Newsom — as another hike looms.

“Adding insult to injury,” Dave Bohorquez, a local gas station owner told ABC 10. “We are just holding on, hoping to ride through it.”

The comment points to a looming July 1 hike in California’s gas tax — an annual increase tied to inflation — set to hit drivers already paying among the highest prices in the country.

Across California, gas prices hovered around $5.93 a gallon Sunday morning — well above the national average of $4.09 — even after a temporary easing of global oil tensions tied to Iran.

Gooder and harder, California.
