I am not exactly certain how the California governor‘s race works, so I could be way off, but from what I’m hearing and reading this could be a case of the Democrats not wanting Swalwell to split the democrat vote that might result in a Republican being elected as governor of California.
California uses a jungle primary. This primary includes D and R candidates. The top two vote getters then have a runoff. There are basically two republicans in the primary and a half a dozen democrats. The democrat vote is split so much, it leaves the republicans with the top two spots. Getting Swallwell out (I think he’s the leading Democrat right now) lowers the the denominator for the democrats which will allocate his support over fewer people, thus increasing their percentages.
This was also why the republicans were mad a Trump endorsing Steve Hilton so early. They were concerned the other republican in the race would have much of his support moved to Hilton, thus dropping him below a democrat.

This NASA is so different from old NASA. Makes me cringe.
She doesn’t seem like a serious person. Give me a German male.

That explains it. A woman was running it.

Buzz Aldrin is looking at those wheelchairs and saying get the F outta here.
I don’t recall Apollo taking this long. Especially once they got to 15.

Don’t know why they need to have a recovery specialist. They used to hop into a basket and get lifted up by themselves.

They need to dust off the Apollo recovery manuals. This recovery is a hot mess.
Isaacman is pumped. I love it.

As someone who has kids in private school... Thats fricking absurd
Buddy of mine was a teacher at a high end private high school, later became public high school principal. His feeling was until kids are about 10 it doesn’t matter where they go. Part of this is because it takes boys that long to catch up to girls academically.
As for what I paid, topped out at about $40k for private high school about 10 years ago.

re: Two articles (web articles) about the 10 point plan - I don't see much to cheer about

The ten point plan doesn’t mention uranium.
People need to pay attention to what the ten point plan doesn’t say. There’s no mention of keeping nukes or funding/protecting their “partners” in the region. On its face this isn’t that far off from the Venezuela deal if you look at it. For example, they collect fees that will be used to rebuild. It doesn’t say where those fees will be held. If managed by a third party, this may be tenable.

Negotiating airspace access,
They mentioned it to Starmer a few weeks before the strike, he basically said he’d have to get back to them. He didn’t even reposition his own assets. We can’t operate on the UKs timetable.

Besides the $2M fee, this is a extremely reasonable deal. Get the fees down to like $100K and that's a deal to end all this.
No mention of stopping support of terrorists
No mention of nukes
No mention of missiles
Not a good deal

The lack of priming both allies and the public about the realities of the operation was a real oversight on the part of the Trump admin.
In a vacuum this may be true, but I dont think the administration trusts them to keep from leaking. One of the reasons these operations have been so successful is the element of surprise. Trump has been stabbed in the back before by Europe, so I get the sensitivity.

No, but we might relocate them to Eastern Europe.

It’s unfortunate that they’re going to lose signal when they go behind the moon. You’d think by now NASA would have a “Starlink” type array up there to keep the signal up.
I’d bet Trump is sharper than Gupta
