One of today's presenters, Mary Earle, said something that resonated with me. "Don't give your sacred life to a bunch of junk." What that junk is might be different for each of us, but we all know deep down what that is for us individually.

Following their successful splashdown, the Artemis II crew gathered for a group portrait in the well deck of the USS John P. Murtha, positioned in front of Integrity, the Orion spacecraft they personally named.

This should never have happened.
DHS deported a US citizen to Mexico. Brian Morales is 25 years old who was born in Denver. Pulled over in Texas with his construction crew. Didn’t have his ID on him and told officers he could get his birth certificate, Social Security card, and medical records from home.
