Engineers at the European Space Agency (ESA) are getting ready for a Windows 98 upgrade on an orbiter circling Mars. The Mars Express spacecraft has been operating for more than 19 years, and the Mars Advanced Radar for Subsurface and Ionospheric Sounding (MARSIS) instrument onboard has been using software built using Windows 98. Thankfully for humanity and the Red Planet’s sake, the ESA isn’t upgrading its systems to Windows ME. The MARSIS instrument on ESA’s Mars Express was key to the discovery of a huge underground aquifer of liquid water on the Red Planet in 2018. This major new software...

CBS Evening News anchor Norah O’Donnell was clearly devastated over the Supreme Court’s historic decision to overturn Roe v. Wade Friday evening and she made it as clear as she could while still pretending to be an objective journalist. There were numerous moments where she showed her true stripes in the two segments before her softball interview with Alexis McGill Johnson of the baby murder mill Planned Parenthood. The first moment came during the opening segment when O’Donnell falsely claimed the Supreme Court “ended a woman's constitutional right to an abortion.” In reality, there was never a constitutional right to...

Leftist lunatic and MSNBC host Joy Reid came out of the gate on a tare, lashing out at the Supreme Court over their historic decision to overturn Roe v. Wade to the states and the people's representatives. Being the vile demagogue that she is, Reid accused activists in the right-to-life movement and all conservatives broadly as wanting to repeal the "20th century." "We begin tonight with a theme that, by now, may be familiar to viewers of this show. Repeal the 20th century. The notion that, for many on the far right, the good ole days start with 17 and...

Feeling irrationally angry after an argument with his wife in 2015, the police were called on firearm owner Edward Caniglia to perform a welfare check. He agreed to undergo a psychiatric evaluation at the hospital to determine suicidality on the condition that police not confiscate his guns. Upon returning to his home, however, Caniglia found that the police had unconstitutionally searched his house and seized his firearms. For the first time in 13 years, the Court upheld both privacy and gun rights, this time unanimously. Caniglia v. Strom’s 9-0 decision has the potential to create lasting effects and set precedent...
