The fact that they didn’t have the planet prepared for one of those high res screens they use for mando makes me slightly disappointed, Ryan gosling having a planet in front of him as close as possible to the real thing would’ve probably enabled better acting, not that he was bad or anything, but it might’ve been an even better scene

A key clarification from @vast: The Mission Integration and Operations Management Plan was provided to Vast in the normal course of business by a subcontractor that supplies services to Vast and Axiom, using standard documentation adapted from prior missions, as is common practice for NASA private astronaut missions. The version provided to Vast included material carried over from an earlier Axiom mission.
Within a day of submitting the document to NASA, Vast proactively informed NASA that the document needed to be corrected and resubmitted a revised version the next day. When NASA later asked us to take additional steps, we did so immediately, and we have cooperated with NASA throughout.
Vast did not take anything from Axiom, and any suggestion otherwise is false.
If Axiom chooses to press forward with this meritless claim, we will defend ourselves vigorously. In the meantime, our team remains focused on our work with NASA.
Wish he had such sincere tones when it came to the Epstein files or his mid evening truth social posts
President Trump's 2021 letter to incoming President Joe Biden has been obtained by The New York Times, which is detailed in Biden's new book.
The letter was written in black Sharpie.
In the book, Biden described how surprised he was to see how kind and warm Trump was to him.
Biden said during his meeting with Trump after the 2024 election, Trump adopted "a tone so friendly that I thought he might be putting me on."
"You know, Joe, if it weren’t for politics, I believe we’d be good friends," Trump said, according to the book.
The letter from President Trump to Biden is below:

BREAKING: A robot developed by Caltech and funded by DARPA has successfully built part of a structure in orbit without astronauts, marking what researchers describe as the first autonomous construction of a structure in space.
The experiment, called ASTRA, uses a robotic arm to retrieve individual structural tubes and connecting joints, then assemble them into sections of a larger framework directly in orbit.
Launched aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 in March, the system has spent approximately six months in space testing the technology.
The robot successfully constructed a new section of a truss structure, demonstrating that spacecraft could eventually assemble large structures from smaller components rather than launching them fully assembled.
The experiment is part of DARPA's NOM4D program, which aims to enable construction of enormous structures in orbit, potentially hundreds of meters or even kilometers across.
Potential applications include:
> Giant space telescopes
> Large satellite communications antennas
> Orbital solar power stations
>Future space infrastructure too large to fit inside conventional rockets
The demonstration did not complete the full planned antenna, but establishes an important proof of concept for autonomous orbital construction.
The technology could eventually allow the size of structures built in space to exceed the physical limits of the rockets used to launch their components.

There is a very serious non-zero chance that both United States and China are land on the moon at the same time, like within days of One another
