I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace.
Where never lark, or even eagle flew
And, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

NASA's YT blurb on the feed:
Watch history unfold on Saturday,
May 30, as NASA and SpaceX launch astronauts Robert Behnken and Douglas
Hurley to the International Space Station. This mission marks the first
time since the retirement of the space shuttle in 2011 that humans will
fly to the space station from U.S. soil. The mission's first launch
attempt on Wednesday, May 27 was scrubbed due to weather conditions.
Tune in starting at 11 a.m. EDT as NASA and SpaceX provide joint,
live coverage from launch to arrival at the space station. Teams are
targeting 3:22 p.m. EDT for the launch of the SpaceX Crew Dragon
spacecraft atop a Falcon 9 rocket from historic Launch Complex 39A at
NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The Crew Dragon is scheduled to
dock to the space station on Sunday, May 31.

It has the complete Apollo 11, 13 and 17 missions, from one minute to launch to recovery at sea of the astronauts. When I see complete, I mean every single word spoken by all stations of mission control and astronauts is seen in transcripts, you hear all the audio, see every picture taken and every frame of video, in order as it occurred.
It is probably the most technically incredible website I've ever seen. You can spend weeks just watching.

I work an MDA subcontract as a Lockheed employee under Boeing as prime. They are corrupt, shoulder to shoulder, from every person above the basic level 5 engineer all the way to the top. They deserve to be liquidated with aggression, their capital assets sold off, and the level 5 and below engineers brought over to the other defense businesses.
What we all want to happen to the FBI, needs to happen to Boeing for the same reason. Inept, corrupt, halfassed leadership.
Level 1 = college bs, no experience
Level 2 = college bs, 5 years experience
Level 3 = college ms, or ten years experience
Level 4 = college ms, or 15 years experience
Level 5 = college PhD, or 20 years experience
Level 6 = college phd, or 25 years experience & a college ms
Level 7 = director, no experience, MBA maybe, usually retired military or retired pilot from commercial
Level 8 = vice president, retired military general officer, or possibly an extremely good engineer that survived past level 5.
Basically, the people running the show rarely know what the business technical aspects are and how to run it. Thie is what got them the 737 max, and the 'redesigned FBI kill vehicle', and the failed space line of business.
Is it obvious that I have a 4-hour problem with Boeing?

Obama wanted to manage America's decline and defer to other countries, even poophole ones.
Trump wants America to be #1 and has an expansive, can do view of what we are capable of. Which is why I think the NASA Administrator guy was so appreciative of him.

One of my old companies did work on the crawlers, enormous treaded vehicles that transported the rockets from the hanger to the launch pad. I didn't get to see a launch but I got a full back stage tour of Cape Canaveral including the launch pad area.

That's the famous pad camera E-8 video of Apollo 11. High speed footage slowed down. It's awesome.
The first stage of the Saturn V used five might F-1 engines. The turbine powering the fuel and LOX pumps for those was 55,000 HP.
So that should give you a refence. When your fuel pump is 55,000HP, you've got something.

Boeing really was Seattle when I was growing up. It employed my dad and probably 20-25 percent of our neighbors, everyone from mechanics to mathematicians (my dad). I didn't know until after my dad died the extent of his involvement in satellite and other space programs- not because it was secret, but because no kids really cared about their parent's jobs. Later, my brother also worked at Boeing for 20+ years, but he is not a fan because of the management changes.

Under the Constitution, President can't do much until the State Legislature if in session, or the Gov if they are not, ASK for Federal aid to suppress lawlessness.
And with the current Congress he has to be VERY careful with anything they may use to impeach.

=======================
I'm in pretty good shape; just joking around a bit. It's times like these that really make me mourn the past. My father in law had an FFL. i got several of his short stock, but b/c of a nasty divorce, ended up bugging out to Argentina. He took the bulk of his armory w/him. I've only seen a partial inventory, but there was some VERY rare, and useful shit.
After his death, his idiot widow handed it over to the state. It still fucks me up.

23k total strength.
40th Infantry Division, Mech.
Key is, no call up.

Trump's first comments on the matter were about not letting it continue if local authorities did not get things under control.
Just wondering out loud what's going on - this incompetence in MN has dragged on far beyond where I thought possible.

I'm in the "D5" Chess camp. Allows the [D]'s to show their stuff. If DJT were to do what every other politician has done, this endless cycle will just repeat.

MN national Guard has no Infantry units.
Its got Armored and Aviation, plus the command element for a Division.
But the infantry units for the Division are drawn from other States around them.
MN Gov can get boots on the ground, but not the 'right' boots.

I know the Cloward/Piven stuff, but at the end of the day, I don't get how this helps the D-tards. Everyone knows who is doing this, they can't deflect to white nationalists, no matter how many masked antifags sport Nazi stuff.
It's just destruction for destruction's sake.

Trump shouldn't have said a thing. And he shouldn't do a thing, either.

AG Barr surfaced today and said most of the 'protesters' were non locals, and they would be looking into it.
But until they are kicking down the doors of those instigating this online, its just hot air.

Agreed. This will hit the little Mogadishu crown the hardest, and Illin' Omer will just stand there and flail. She's an idiot, and deserves everything that comes her way.

As to federal intervention, it's not always "permissive" (with local cooperation), though obviously it can get messy that way.

WTF? That's as absurd as the "white supremacist" nonsense. 80%??
How about Atlanta. How about LA. How about Portland. How about L'ville.
Shutting them down looks the same, wherever they're from (and it's not happening almost anywhere, apparently).

Not picking a fight, but that's NOT absurd. I witnessed this in fake riot 1.0 in Ferguson, MO. In front of the smoking hulk of a Quicktrip, there were at lease 200 protesters, and half of them were waving Palestinian flags.
Now I'm not saying the yutes of N. StL are dumb, but I guarantee you 1 in 10 could find Israel on an unmarked globe. Soros knows what he's doing.
