Very Little Space News Today

You'd think it was some sort of holiday observed in most of the world or something. 

The only thing I saw reported that was pretty much new was the SpaceNews (dot com!) article on the record year that the US Space Force had at Cape Canaveral and the Kennedy Space Center.  

Florida’s Space Coast capped off a record-breaking year with 93 launches from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station and NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, up from 74 launches in 2023.

Brig. Gen. Kristin Panzenhagen, commander of the Eastern Range and Space Delta 45, credited the accelerated pace to innovations by both Space Launch Delta 45 and the private sector. “We’ve been able to reach these crazy numbers by leveraging automation, modernizing infrastructure, and streamlining processes,” Panzenhagen told SpaceNews.

The interesting thing General Panzenhagen pointed out was of those 93 launches, 88 were SpaceX.  The other five were United Launch Alliance.

All that out of the way, two memes that have been on my mind. The first one is just a simple observation.

The second one is an observation that seems obvious to me.

I think Candace Owens is absolutely right: those people being against Tulsi is as good an endorsement as  you'll see.  I guess I'm assuming this is either exactly the same group that covered up Hunter's laptop and called it Russian disinformation or there's a lot of overlap.  A favorite observation I came across years ago is that the biggest benefit of true Freedom of Speech is that it makes it easier to know who the assholes are.  If everyone is censored, it's harder.  In this case, by giving their names publicly, they've made it easier to identify who the corrupt operators are so they can be gotten rid of faster.
