I have SM123 final on Monday. Should be studying. Spent the morning looking at SeeStar S50 videos, intercepted by the BlueSky check-ins. It is going swimmingly.

It's important here to note what else within NASA science is being cut: Earth Science: FY25 $2,138.9M → FY26 $1,035.9M, –51% Astrophysics: FY25 $1,529.7M → FY26 $523.0M, –66% Heliophysics: FY25 $805.0M → FY26 $432.5M, –47% Biological & Physical Sciences: FY25 $87.5M → $25.0M, –71%
