I was a Marine and trained in counter-protest/riot operations. We were not trained to be nice, we were trained only to shut that shit down. Deploying Marines into LA is extremely dangerous, unnecessary, and should never be used on U.S. soil.

Serpentinite is the state rock of California. True to form, I found some walking into JPL this morning.

Augite? Some kind of green agate? It’s pretty crumbly and was found among basalt/andesitic lavas. What am I dealing with here?

Sol 4558 MastCam mosaic of an area near the Mars Curiosity Rover this weekend. The shadow is from the outstretched arm. I’m also wondering what’s going on with that little oval spot… flic.kr/p/2r8FBa2

Just about wrecked myself going up this hill with Libby. Google Earth was not clear as to how steep this place is! I fell and slid down the path a few feet (I’m fine). Libby’s an athlete and did great. We did a load of research and found a fantastic rockhounding spot in Agua Dulce.

Mastcam mosaic captured by Curiosity two days ago - centered on the “Mishe Mokwa” hill, if I understand correctly. Also showing the lighter colored yardang unit further up Aeolis Mons. #Mars May 29, 2025 - Sol 4554 🧪🔭 Credits images: NASA/JPL-Caltech/MSSS/fredk
