Does anyone else have questions about this uniform? Why does he have "space wings" and a ribbon rack with an MSM, but ROTC-like rank? I saw another pic od his shadow box indicating he isn't prior enlisted.

Just reread my last comment to you. That says it all.
That says it all.
Continuing to post = Fragile.
It is a large leap from:
“X can be faked”
To
“All claims of X are based on fakes.”

The recent JWST findings strongly suggests that, at least in the realm of cosmology, the science isn’t settled.
JWST results = “I’m not so sure about Kansas anymore...”
Due to time dilation, the trip would only seem to last about 65 days to the travellers, if done at constant velocity of 99.9%c and no time allowed for acceleration and deceleration (obvious issues).
“The time dilation factor is (1 - f^2 )^0.5 , where f is the fraction of light speed.
“(This means that the experienced travel time that passes inside the ship approaches 0 as f approaches 1. If you could travel arbitrarily close to light speed, you would experience the journey as effectively instantaneous.)
“Here’s a calculator for it:

“At .999c (99.9% light speed) it calculates that time is slowed down to 4.47% of the outside value. That means four years are experienced as approximately 65 days.
An interesting comment. Light waves do not experience time during their travel. When a light wave leaves the surface of the sun as an emission from the last atom in the sun’s atmosphere, and is absorbed by an atom in a sensor or your retina, from the POV of light, what happened was a collision between the atom in the sun and the atom in the sensor or your eye.
If it’s constantly expanding, it’s in the process of effectively becoming endless. Where/when is the ‘end’?
It never becomes endless. At some point the great expansion becomes the great collapse. Cosmology.
Classic misdirection. Look over her...not over there.
For us, it’s essentially endless, for all of future humanity, too.
Let me know, in about googol years, that it’s all coming down. I’ll want to watch.
