Good Morning, all,
just a brief reminder that America is not just Trump and Trump is certainly not America...
With a personal peripheral historical dalliance with the domain of space science, I remain in awe of what our species has achieved in beginning the physical exploration of our Cosmos, and America has been a huge part of that effort.
The round-trip light travel time to/from Voyager 1 is almost _two_days_ (it's >15,000,000,000 miles from Earth).
BZ! #NASA, #JPL

Perhaps I'm being too harsh on Donald J. Tantrump? Perhaps he's demanding the 'white powder' from Iran, as he thinks their 'nuclear dust' can be used to invigorate the nuclear power-plant that keeps the Voyager spacecrafts alive? Or perhaps Donald Trump's dementia is now so advanced he's confusing Iran with Colombia, as the source of the Colombian Marching Powder he sprinkles on his McNuggets?
