Dragonfly is a NASA mission that delivers a rotorcraft to Saturn’s moon Titan to advance our search for the building blocks of life. While Dragonfly was originally scheduled to launch in 2026, NASA has requested the Dragonfly team pursue their alternative launch readiness date in 2027. No changes will be needed to the mission architecture to accommodate this new date, and launching at a later date will not affect Dragonfly’s science return or capabilities once at Titan. The decision to pursue the alternative launch date is based on factors external to the Dragonfly project team, including COVID-19’s impact on the...

Today the blurb below the sidebar on Google's homepage includes a link which says, "Learn more about the history of racial injustice in America." The link promotes the Equal Justice Initiative (EJI), a prisoner advocacy group founded by left-wing activist Bryan Stevenson. Following his graduation from Harvard Law School in 1985, Stevenson moved to Atlanta and joined the Southern Center for Human Rights, affiliated with Morris Dees of the Southern Poverty Law Center. Stevenson ran the Center's Montgomery branch, which he converted into EJI in 1989. One action Stevenson took with the center was signing a petition to free convicted...

Several celebrities have spent massive amounts of money on their pets — and Oprah Winfrey is one of them. Over the years, the famed talk show host hasn’t shied away from expressing her unconditional love for her loyal pups. Since she doesn’t have children of her own, Oprah treats her pooches as though they’re her kids. And seeing that they are the loves of her life, the media mogul wants to make sure they are well-taken care of if anything were to happen to her. Which is why she has a trust fund worth $30 million set up for her...

80 second video. He is talking about how his Father is fighting human trafficking and the Bidens are partaking on the other side.

What an incredible Day of Repentance and Prayer in our nation's capital this day! So powerful and sincere in TRUTH was this day that it was an exceedingly great blessing to me and to multi-thousands of others (John 17)! As we seek to "Make America Great Again" with precious little time left on the play clock, may we seek with ALL our being and in ALL true sincerity to "Wake Up America Again" to Almighty God's ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Word and to the ETERNAL saving grace of our Lord Jesus Christ; for that is indeed the TRUE calling from on High...

China, which embarked on the mission of becoming a superpower by showing its economic and military might to the world, now may be brought to its knees over a shortage of food. Reduction in overall domestic food production; a recent deluge in the Yangtze River basin, the rice bowl of China; and a slash in imports, mostly aggravated by deteriorating diplomatic relations, has caused Beijing to hit the panic button. Chinese President Xi Jinping recently launched the “Clean Plate” campaign to ensure that food supplies do not deplete quickly and bring about a repetition of the 1959 Great Famine, in...

A woman who says she dislocated her hip and broke multiple bones when she crashed an Uber rental scooter is suing the company for failing to equip vehicles with turn signals. Erin Norman, who crashed on the streets of San Francisco in 2019, filed a lawsuit against Uber Technologies Inc. on Thursday. She crashed when she lifted her hand to indicate a turn on a Jump scooter, she said. Uber owned Jump until May 2020, when it sold it to Neutron Holdings, which operates as Lime. Norman needed emergency surgery and medical care for nine months afterwards, according to the...

Just hours before Donald Trump will presumably announce his nomination of Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court, the New York Times pushed out this attempt to rehab attacks on Barrett over her Catholic faith. Give Elizabeth Bruenig this much credit — she manages to front-load the debunking of attacks on Barrett over the false People of Praise/”Handmaid’s Tale” connection. Dianne Feinstein’s comment, “the dogma lives loudly within you, and that’s of concern,” is called infamous. However, all that is mere predicate to declare attacks on Catholicism fair game in a confirmation hearing, because of its “fundamental conflict” with “the...

HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, Fla. -- An apparent confrontation between two drivers led to two separate road rage incidents in Hillsborough County, according to deputies. According to the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office, a man was driving his car in Wimauma on September 14 when 18-year-old Raymond Davis pulled up next to the man and asked, "Are you revving your engine at me?" The man told Davis he was not, but Davis began following him with his car and then the Davis' passenger, 21-year-old Trevor Barnette, handed Davis a gun. Davis then fired two shots at the man before driving away from the...

The case agent managing the FBI's investigation of Flynn told Department of Justice attorneys that a desire to "get Trump" was a major factor underlying the case against Flynn. In a stunning and detailed interview conducted September 17 by U.S. attorney Jeff Jensen, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) case agent for the original investigation of former White House National Security Adviser Michael Flynn and who later worked on Robert Mueller’s Special Counsel blew the whistle on myriad problems that plagued those investigations from the very beginning. FBI Special Agent William Barnett told Department of Justice (DOJ) investigators that the...

During a portion of an interview that aired on MSNBC on Saturday, former Vice President Joe Biden, the Democratic Party’s nominee for president, compared his general opponent, President Donald Trump, to Nazi Germany propagandist Joseph Goebbels. “He’s sort of like Goebbels,” Biden said. “You say the lie long enough, keep repeating it, repeating it, repeating it, it becomes common knowledge.”

A mysterious, many-armed sea creature — initially described as a large "red glob" — lying on a rocky shore in Washington has drawn in cephalopod experts across the country, each wondering what this gelatinous animal is. The 3.5-foot-long (1 meter) beast's identity was at first elusive; was it the shallow-water East Pacific red octopus (Octopus rubescens)? Or perhaps it was a very lost deep-sea vampire squid (Vampyroteuthis infernalis) or a deep-sea dumbo octopus (Grimpoteuthis)? The likely answers (no, no and no) led scientists to yet another species: the seven-armed octopus (Haliphron atlanticus), a deep-water creature that is rarely seen as...

I don’t know when it first hit me that the world had gone nuts. It might have been when an American white woman named Rachel Dolezal self-identified as black on national television despite both her parents being white. That was nuts. Or perhaps it was when Altrincham Grammar School for Girls in Manchester asked staff to refrain from calling female students ‘girls’ because it might offend transgender students – yet didn’t change the gender-specific name of the school. That was nuts. Maybe it was when there were strident calls from radical feminists – who, like all radicals, destroy support for...
