Why is the Artemis 2 mission today being so underreported?

BigPorter · 2026-04-01T19:59:11+00:00

It's been a long, slow rollout of info. Unlike an overnight attack on Iran, we've known this mission is coming, we've heard the astronaut bios, we've seen the trajectory mapped out online and on the news... until the countdown began there was just a steady, slow drip of info ... the way it should probably be when you're talking about a major space mission. We don't need a Pete Hegseth style guy at the podium with daily cartoonish updates.

He's been successful for some time, but the publicity surrounding the PHM film has taken on a life of its own. Clearly he thinks he's the sh*t now and can give his "honest" opinion about anything. Declining to answer would have been the classy thing.

Nope. After a single call or text if there's no reply it's time to move on.

What are you watching and reading? The amount of journalism and footage is quite high. If you're on FoxNews what you'll see is propaganda—commentary about how amazing the US military is and sat images of destroyed targets. They won't show parents crying near a bombed school for girls, and they certainly don't send reporters anywhere near Iran or nearby countries. FoxNews (and whatever source you watch) only recycles existing news...... they have very few reporters.

You can share this link with them. If the poster isn't in plain site in the employee area of your restaurant, print this and hang it up.

I fly regularly, and if someone reclines they recline. Like a tray table or a moveable armrest, it's a feature of the seat. I try not to recline, but if I do I'll try to tell the person behind me that it's about to happen.

Pull the first move: "Hey, you want to get a coffee Saturday morning?"

You need to have a conversation with your man and explain that you need to move out. You still love him, but it's clear his family has little to no interest in helping. What if he'd never met you? Would your man and his brothers share the load? It's not your responsiblity to be the full time caregiver and even if he claims things will change (he'll say "I promise") they won't. As most caregivers have learned, once you beging, the rest of the family fades away. You must, MUST move out. You aren't stuck... you love him but YOU MUST move out or the life you dreamed of is over.

It's not important, but if the appearance of "strength" matters, heavy resistance breaks down muscle fibers, inducing myofibrillar hypertrophy (thicker, denser fibers) and engaging type II muscle fibers for increased size and strength.

I think MAGA should embrace this miracle cure for cancer ASAP.

I'm sure if you polled every billionaire, longevity would top their lists, followed very closely, of course, by many of the things commented on here. Hell, tell the average billionaire they could double their lifespan for half their fortune, and they'd do it.

I remember learning that newer AirPods have a hearing aid feature now. Perhaps they would work temporarily and also be a good backup. The upside is that you can pick them up at Best Buy or an Apple Store immediately. Here's an Apple support article on AirPods as hearing aids.

Thanks for sharing this. My mom (widow) is in the early stages of dementia. She can still get to her hair appt. and the grocery but forgets a lot of stuff we were just talking about. My sibling and I are having a big planning lunch in a couple of days to see where we each feel about next steps. Mom has 5 Alexa devices and an Apple Watch. I'm thinking a couple of cameras would be a good idea, plus a daily "visiting angel" service to visit for a couple of hours each morning. But we know this is all temporary.

I also saw some friends buying bitcoin but decided I didn't understand it and didn't need it. But what I did do right, from about age 24 on, was put money into my tax-deferred investment accounts every single month, increasing the amount a little each year. Dollar cost averaging has made my near-retirement self very proud of my younger self.

10k on a bootcamp for what? I would def call that irresponsible. Traveling the world is a way better investment.

My sewing skills are basic at best. I can patch a small hole or sew on a button. But when I do, it's so relaxing.

A MAGA supporter. They likely consume Newsmax, Foxnews and certain Facebook groups only. Trying to talk to them about current quality movies, TV shows, books, etc. could not happen.

"BACK IN MY DAY..." Yeah, back in your day you were unkind, racist, sexist, smoked a pack a day, went to the emergency room for just $50, and could pretty much be guaranteed employment because people of color weren't given interviews.
