CONAN THE BARBARIAN is my go-to Christmas movie, and some new things really stood out to me at this year's viewing. I want to talk about THIS moment and THIS guy. This is the story of Red Hair.

The return powered flyby burn has begun, the European Service Module will fire the main engine for three minutes and 27 seconds. @NASA_Orion is out of signal behind the Moon, so confirmation that the @NASAArtemis spacecraft is on route to Earth will come in half an hour...

Hybrids make a whole lot more environmental sense than full EVs. Few need hundreds of mile range in one charge. One full ev battery satisfies one owner’s needs 100% Splitting it up into five smaller hybrid batteries and you satisfy 80% of their needs (x5).

This also works nicely as a Recommended Reading List.

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This list contains a number of books that have not been banned widely across Florida. Some individual schools may have banned these books, but it has not been adopted state-wide. It misses many books that have been banned at a large scale however. apnews.com/article/fact-c…

Initially the Gemini capsule was supposed to land horizontally using a Rogallo-wing. Even though flight tests were conducted, the concept was eventually replaced with a more conventional parachute. Here is a render of how it could have looked like.

We spy with our little eyes…rover landing gear! During the #MarsHelicopter’s 26th flight, it took photos of the entry, descent, & landing gear @NASAPersevere needed to safely land on Mars. You can see the protective backshell & massive dusty parachute. go.nasa.gov/3vkglFM
