We saw the "Moonwalkers" presentation at Lightroom in London last spring, and a big component of Tom Hanks' narration involves looking forward to the Artemis program. So much hope and optimism. This is a gut punch.

I said earlier, when talking about the BS claim that Politico was subsidised by USAID, that kneecapping Politico Pro was a great way to decrease transparency around and awareness of legislation, regulation and procurement. I stand by that.

Headlines from today: Vice President Vance Accuses European Leaders of Censoring Free Speech White House Bars Associated Press From Spaces Like Oval Office and Air Force One

The White House barred AP reporters. The Pentagon evicted news outlets. Vance and Musk attacked a reporter on social media. The FCC is probing NPR, PBS, CBS and others. It's a shameful attempt to intimidate the media, chill unfavorable reporting, and pressure reporters into complying in advance.
