NASA Psyche Mission headed to iron and nickel-rich asteroid possibly worth quadrillions
The current value of ~208,874 tonnes of all the gold ever mined is only $14.47 trillion, so the discovery and mining of huge new supplies of precious metals could cause a deflationary depression . . . some day.
Launch date is October, arriving in 2029.
Meanwhile we can exchange worthless pieces of paper for all kinds of stuff made in China.
Seems fair.

Someone should tell NASA Mars helicopter team that a Wright Brothers moment requires a HUMAN piloting a PLANE
NASA scores Wright Brothers moment with first helicopter flight on Mars :
"The twin-rotor whirligig's debut on the Red Planet marked a 21st-century Wright Brothers moment for NASA . . .. NASA engineers affixed a tiny swath of wing fabric from the original Wright flyer under Ingenuity's solar panel before sending it on its way to Mars."

Everything human beings touch turns into a shit-hole, including near-earth orbit
Space debris from India’s anti-satellite missile test a threat to ISS, NASA says :
But speaking on Monday, Bridenstine said NASA had identified 400
pieces of orbital debris from the test, with at least 24 of them — each
one larger than 10 cm — having gone above the apogee of the ISS,
something he described as “a terrible, terrible thing” and which put the
safety of the ISS at risk. However, he confirmed that because the test
was carried out low enough in Earth orbit, the fragments — and therefore
the risk — would dissipate over time. The space agency is currently tracking 23,000 pieces of orbital debris,
each one 10 cm or larger. Scientists, meanwhile, have been working on a
number of different projects aimed at getting rid of the debris.

Dan Henninger: The Democrats summon Hurricane Christine
Here:
Surely someone pointed out that based on what was disclosed, this accusation could not be substantiated. To which the Democrats responded: So what? Its political value is that it cannot be disproved. They saw that six weeks before a crucial midterm election, the unresolvable case of Christine Blasey Ford would sit like a stalled hurricane over the entire Republican Party, drowning its candidates in a force they could not stop. ... Republicans in the Senate shouldn’t allow it, and voters in November should not affirm it.

Leftist UK Guardian means to slam USA as fading empire in headline, backtracks in actual article to slam empire of NASA
Well, what would you expect from a has-been empire which still isn't over its eclipse by the USA? They should have figured out how to keep us while they still could, but their hubris got in the way. Terribly sorry, old boy.
Here:
The Empire, of course, is Nasa, a once noble but now creaky agency that has devolved from moonshots to renting rides from the Russians, all in the span of Buzz Aldren’s adulthood.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hey commies! Learn how to capitalize. It's called NASA. And what exactly is notable in the history of British spaceflight, anyway?
Hm. Is there something called British spaceflight?

US Antares rocket to intl space station with 5K lbs of supplies explodes on launch
Another photograph of Obama's incompetence. We can't send even supplies reliably after cancelling the Shuttle program, but the Russians can get our astronauts there and back safely. Watch for yourself here.
Maybe NASA should spend less time making nice with Muslims who only want to kill us.

Central England Temperatures In 2013 107th Warmest Going Back . . . 354 Years!
2013 just barely made it into the top third of the warmest years in the last 354. Hey, it beats 118th, the piker.
As reported here:
"Last year was also the 107th warmest on the full CET record, going back to 1659, tying with 1900."
"The longest instrumental temperature record" in existence (here).
Gee, how come 1900 was so similarly warm without all those contributing human factors we have today? NASA claims it was the 7th warmest year since 1850.
