A few days ago, a NASA adjuct panel called ASAP gave a warning about the International Space Station...that it might not last until the scheduled end-of-service in 2030. Keep in mind that giving warnings is what this panel does. Still, the ISS seems to increasingly need repair, so keep watch.

These are big, big astro names. I'm frankly puzzled why Isaacman's nomination has stalled. The only thing is that he is a working pilot when the administrator job is about budget and politics. Still, he wants it. And he is the only Trump appointee that makes any sense to me.

Can the MBTA stop enabling the X platform and start posting here? #mapoli wants to know.

What team? How can you meet a team when Gannett is constantly letting staff go?

Is it possible to re-educate the U.S. South or MAGAs to change their ideology? Don't count on it. This was attempted in Germany after World War II. But 'denaziification' didn't work too well practically. Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denazif...

On Feb. 7, 1964, the Beatles were met by thousands of screaming fans at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport as they arrived to begin their first American tour. Read more about what happened on this date: t.ly/1NSQu

I responded to this story, to say we should be building more rail bridges over the Charles, not more highways.

This is a word of warning to all of us. Left, right, or anything else. Constantly reevaluating and learning.
