THE NEW SPACE RACE: NASA emphasizes role of the moon as testbed for future human Mars missions.

I WANT TO BELIEVE: Former NASA Astronaut Puzzled by Metallic Orbs He Encountered While Flying.
Former NASA astronaut Leroy Chiao says he had a baffling encounter when he was flying his private four-seat airplane in 2023.
At an altitude of 9,000 feet over Houston, Texas, the former Space Shuttle commander had two “perfectly smooth” and “shiny” spheres, each roughly three feet in diameter, rip by him a mere 20 feet away. He first detailed the unusual encounter in an interview with NewsNation in December, and recently elaborated on the sighting in a follow-up with the New York Post — claims from a highly accomplished pilot and space traveler that add fuel to the fire of debates over unidentified objects in the skies.
“There was nothing around me other than the panhandle of Texas at nine thousand feet on this instrument flight plan and just suddenly these things appeared,” he told the publication.
“They came right at me,” he added.
Just open all the secret files and let the chips fall where they may.
HEH. LIAR’S CLUB MEETS TO DISCUSS CRISIS IN LIE-SPREADING.
"The International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN) has convened an emergency meeting" – hilarious.
It's long past time for the fraudulent, politicized self-anointed "disinformation" and "fact-checker" industry to come crashing down on its shattered foundations. https://t.co/wvagcjyw7e

I FINALLY FOUND THE TOXIC MASCULINITY THE LEFT IS ALWAYS GOING ON ABOUT:
This is a very important symptom of mass immigration: The gradual disappearance of women from crowded public spaces out of fear of harassment.
People don't talk enough about this.

THE TIMES THEY ARE A-CHANGIN’: UFC Head, Trump Ally Dana White Joins Meta Board of Directors.
Dana White, CEO of Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) and ally of President-elect Donald Trump, has joined the board of directors for Meta, the parent company of Facebook.
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced the inclusion of Dana White in a Facebook post on Monday, hailing his work as an entrepreneur and business leader.
“Dana is the President and CEO of UFC, and he has built it into one of the most valuable, fastest growing, and most popular sports enterprises in the world. I’ve admired him as an entrepreneur and his ability to build such a beloved brand,” noted Zuckerberg.
This would have been unimaginable in 2017, and it’s noteworthy how the “Literally Hitler!” narrative has collapsed since November.
In other Meta news — broken on X, naturally:

THE NEW SPACE RACE: China launches Shijian-25 satellite to test on-orbit refueling and mission extension technologies. “The mission will also be carefully followed by other space actors as the mission — especially if carried out with low levels of transparency — could be perceived as dual-purpose. While the mission may be focused on extending the lifetime of a civilian satellite, the capabilities could, for example, be used in the future to support military satellites through on-orbit servicing. The People’s Liberation Army is known to be working on the technology and training tools for on-orbit satellite refueling for both peacetime and wartime scenarios.”
