On March 7, 1969 during Apollo 9, the first manned flight of a Lunar Module took place. After a few days docked in earth orbit, Spider, separated from the command module and for the first time Astronauts flew in a spacecraft that could not get them home. The photo shows them after separation. This mission is overlooked because they didn't go to the moon but they tested nearly everything required for moon landing. The first testing of the PLSS backpacks that they would wear on the moon. The first docking/undocking/redocking of a LM to the CSM. Testing of the descent/ascent engines of a LM. Being able to maneuver to different orbits depending on who needed to be the passive or aggressor in a docking operation. One very important test that took place wouldn't be utilizeed again until 4 missions later for Apollo 13. They tested the ability to maneuver the joint spacecrafts using only the LM engines, something later used to save Apollo 13. Contingencies. You never know when you will need them.

It's on the south end of the Strip, not far from where the Golden Knights play, frankly no need to go down that far if you are just hanging out in Vegas. I haven't been in 5 years but it seems like they don't care about ****ing things up on the Strip anymore after two F1 races pretty much block everything as you walk.

She's mad because she wants to be mad for one reason but knows deep down she can't. Then that adds to it.

I have zero doubt he won’t be convicted

I think they're also richer, relatively speaking. The Howard Hughes "it makes you crazy" kind of rich.

yep. I watched Alice In Chains last night

right. their strike was an illegal act. not just a violation of their contract but... illlegal. They were given chances to not do it.

and frankly Iran Contra, like most scandals 30-40 years ago, are such small potatoes compared to what we face today.

I'm sorry but the left needs to realize that they won't find a perfect candidate for them that will also win elections. Stop litigating 40 year old battles. Her point on Reagan was to highlight the changes within the GOP today.

For awhile Cobb lived at the Detroit Athletic Club, when he was having marital problems. I think that's neat considering his statue is just a few hundred feet away.

I wonder if there's anything to draw from cases where the 4 women rule together? Granted we don't think that with men but when one of the 4 has her politics....

She gave the speech from Wyandotte. We had specific reasons to stay in Dearborn when we moved 11 years ago but Wyandotte would have been our second choice.

then they cook it well done and use steak sauce

Vulfpeck released their new album yesterday, along with a concert where they played it. So far this is my favorite but I admit to a bias towards Joe Dart and his bass.

That's depicted in once upon a time in hollywood. Manson goes to the house and asks for Terry.

Owning the libs takes priority over anything in the Bible.

they all fled from here. Either they are casually admitting defeat or lack the skills.

I wanted to love I walk the Line when I saw they were making it. Joaquin sounded perfect for the role. I like the movie. I watch it whenever I come across it... but I give it an 8. Phoenix made him seem like a crazy mad man who would snap at any second. Cash was gentle. They did his first wife wrong too.

Didn't view it. Watched episode 3 of White Lotus. It finally got going, I was about bored with it. Then I watched the SNL Vault channel...

Dems should set up their own town halls and have a delegate on stage and put a cardboard cutout of the chicken GOP rep next to them.

Now the term they are using is "price movements"

the whole "keep politics out of this thread" thing isn't a rule so much as a self regulated thing. The people who participate in this would like it that way so if you do engage in political talk be prepared to be yelled at by them or ignored. It can be a blurry line when you have major policy shifts that will affect the markets. There is a line but I can't define it and we don't have to know where the line exists to know it should be there.

I remember when Kenny Rogers died right before COVID shut us down and someone said that was the most “know when to fold ‘em” thing ever.

OUTIH is clearly becoming one of my favorites ever... Pulp holds a special spot so it may not ever top that but I find so many new things in it every time I watch again. It's so genius.
