It was a cold 12 degree morning as the sun was just starting to show in the east. The ducks and geese didn't leave the pond bank, conserving energy most likely, so I brought the feed to them.

@LueElizondo @ShawnRyanShow @CityWineryNSH Hi @LueElizondo .. Have you read the @ChrisKMellon article about DoD space surveillance systems? If so, your thoughts? It's interesting and he suggests changes. Maybe you already know about this issue? I worked logistics in DoD for some of these systems.

As the new Congress and administration settle in, this seems like a good time to offer some suggestions for improving UAP oversight and assessing U.S. air defenses. I hope these recommendations prove useful.

We are just 2 days away from lunar flyby! During the flyby the RESILIENCE lander will experience the biggest change in velocity of the mission, and yet, due to the way gravitational forces work, it will not actually feel any acceleration. #ispace #HAKUTO_R #VentureMoon #RESILIENCE #M2Updates #Moon #LunarFlyby
