Space, *quit swearing in titles*; space.

Haha.

I volunteered a couple weeks ago at the Lindon Temple for the open house. My job was to hold the white flag that indicated the end of the line.

A couple former Army buddies came by and started laughing at me for waiving the white flag. The first words I heard from them was, "The French flag!"

What boggles my mind is that there are still “flat earthers” out there as well as “the moon landings were faked” conspiracy theorists.

Although it’s dangerous to underestimate the stupidity of people, I can’t help but conclude that most of the flat earthers and moon landing conspiracy theorists don’t really believe these things but rather are just looking for attention and validation as part of group. Basically the same motivations behind why people become furries. There are also those who like the feelings of power/superiority they get by leading what I conclude is a very small number of folks who truly believe.

Ugh. Do they have to make everything about them? Even propulsion maneuvers and moon injections. Can't escape it.

Yes! I have that same memory. I think it’s why I felt so nervous. No o-ring failures this time!

Literally what was in my mind… LOL..

I was in high school when the Challenger blew up. We were sitting in math class and one of the girls was illicitly listening to the radio on a Walkman (man, the 80s were so dang awesome) and heard the news. So the teacher turned on the TV.

I was in 1st grade. We were watching it live on tv in the classroom.

I learned of the disaster during meetings about a possible sale of a Bay Area hospital group. Co-counsel on the deal was some dude named Quentin Cook. Nice guy.

Years ago I learned that one side of the moon always faces the earth, even though it still rotates on its axis. I didn’t understand it. With the current pictures of the dark side showing up, I wanted to figure it out. Even with the world at my fingertips, I…still don’t understand it.

This is bonkers. What a dream.

I suspect it’s because the mass is not evenly distributed, and the heavier side of the moon is pulled to face the Earth by the Earth’s gravitational force.

Hollywood couldn't have cast a better astronaut crew.

But it still rotates on its axis!!!!
how is it timed perfectly so that the one side always faces the earth?!?

Alma explained this pretty clearly to Korihor.
