    Disclaimer from photo creator: the original photo does not have the full sky, I edited the sky to have a full 360 experience inside a VR headset like Oculus Quest 2. The sky does not represent the real sky from Mars.

    It's the Hollywood elite conspiracy to cancel Idaho.

    Speaking of perseverance, the lead engineer for the robotic arm is Diana Trujillo. She emigrated from Colombia alone at 17 with $300, speaking no English. She worked as a hotel housekeeper while learning English, then worked her way through college, where she was one of only a handful of women and the only LatinX person in the engineering program.

    Sounds like the kind of immigrant we need to bar the doors to keep away!

    She is obviously a Colombian spy. Just wait until she uses everything she's learned and starts sending cocaine into space.

    They're taking jobs away from good Americans like Ted Cruz.

    Where is your dad from originally? I'm thinking one of two possibilities.

    I still can’t get excited about this shit when people ten miles from me are living in tents.

    There's a different thread for the problems you'd like addressed:

    http://www.sportstwo.com/threads/whats-going-on-in-portland.356678/

    Not trying to take away from that problem. It's major.

    Do you have children? If/when I do I would like to provide them with something to strive for or look to achieve. The technology that has been used and the science that can be gained from a mission like this is substantial.

    1) would be weird to bring up that (the cost of)this stuff is hard for me to be excited about in the “what’s going on in Portland” thread.
    2) yes I have kids and I’ll be honest none of my kids have shown interest in NASA or a future in space science etc
    3) I understand there have been lessons learned from our space program that has helped problems on earth. I just think if they canceled one or two trips they’d probably end all homelessness in America. That would be more exciting for me.
