The Old Folks Home

Not yet, they say we will walk on the moon again in a few years. Hopefully in our generations' lifetime.

This mission is going to the International Space Station.

Thanks for telling me.

I didn't even know that microcheck. Where are they headed, the moon, I'm guessing!

It's privately funded I believe!

Another one of Elon's ideas ???? Isn't he taking down payments to send folks somewhere out in space??? Coming back is maybe a different story

He's worth over 43.2 billion dollars. Dude can do whatever he wants to do. Even give his kid a really outrageous name like X Æ A-12 Musk. Child is destined to hate his parents no matter how rich they are.

I can't imagine having that much money, frankly. If I did I would probably be doing something like he is doing and getting the US back in the space race. It's a flipping shame that our exploration of space has to be privately funded.

Lots better than developing useless social media like some do.

Well shoot, they just scrubbed due to the weather. Just looked at the radar, I don't blame them.

Better safe than sorry.

Space X is hardly privately funded. NASA is paying for this ride to the ISS and rightfully so, but Space X was awarded a HUGE grant after meeting certain requirements established by NASA. It is privately managed, but Uncle Sugar is definitely their Sugar Daddy.

Good for your New Silkie Mamma. I put my blood letting hen, T-Rex in with Doofus, a BBR cross rooster who had gotten himself beat up twice by the same rooster...little idiot. The rooster that beat him up is on the endangered list but until he goes, I have to keep Doof as I call him, penned up. That little rooster is madly in love with T-Rex. Putting her in with him immediately broke her violent broody streak. Today she was out in the pen with him and he was just cooing and talking to her. I told my husband that I hated to let her loose for his sake and he suggested that I just let her alone for awhile so he has some company. Probably will.
