“As of earlier this month, 285 facilities — which include traffic control towers and other locations — were below staffing thresholds set by the F.A.A. and the union. At 73 of those facilities, staffing is so low that at least a quarter of the work force is missing.” www.nytimes.com/2025/01/31/b...

My dad and I would watch the Undersea World of Jacques Cousteau religiously. ...That and Star Trek.
This is manna for a tired soul.
Enjoy!

youtu.be/ABatxNFkSSw?... each Friday find another episode here, The Undersea World of Jacques Cousteau to keep the memories alive among us. As a kid, used to make popcorn in this shitty battered stockpot every show. Sure I wanted to be on the boat. Here is the Return of Great Northern Sea Elephants

My apologies, the first post had incorrect info. She was not in "The Cage" but she first appeared in "The Man Trap" (1966).

Two ancient galaxies, one strongly lensed by a large dark gravitational field or collision, the other is the dot

NASA is stopping all assessment groups (e.g., MEPAG announcement below). This looks like the first step in a lot of disruption for planetary science and exploration. I worry that the Trump administration may be planning to permanently remove the input from scientists in future planning.
