Psaki Assures Space Force Has 'Full Support Of The Biden Administration' | MSNBC
Boots on the moon!
Without the space force, who’ll block the Jewish space lasers?
Hello Mr Paulo
Nice meeting you 🤝
All this “space force” talk is Trump looking for resume accomplishments. He has to scrape the bottom of the fantasy barrel. Pathetic loser. We see you there, hiding behind “reporters”. You’re toast Trump. You lost – again. You always lose.
now THATS the real threat 😂
As a creation of the Trump admin I think it’s likely that Space Force was created to set fire to California. The Nazis blame everything on the Jews.
I think we need Captain Kirk to weigh in on this question.
I need a response from Steve Carrell.
Look up the X-37B
Hello Mrs Lisette
Nice meeting you 🤝
Look up the X-37B Space Plane.
The United States has had a Space Plane for 11 years.
These reporters are going to troll this for 4 years
@neil A Ah, thank you, and you too.
@TheBase1aransas Trump called people in the military, Losers & Suckers.
@taytos
The statement was…
” They are going to troll this for 4 more years”….
Why ? It’s a Real Thing!!!
The United States has had a Space Plane for 11 years!
The Reporters are just to stupid to know about it…
I was just trying to help you out so you would know the truth…
But I guess it’s a little over your head.
@PI T @base1aransas BLOCKED you for lying.
@TheBase1aransas That’s the true, get off your behind and do some research, and then block me.
So short answer, no she won’t apologize.
Man, I love this lady. She’s an absolute star and kicks butt. Smart, intelligent, and quick on her feet.
Absolutely no reason to apologize.
Impressive how she doesn’t take the bait and still answered without insulting anyone – refreshing change there.
Why should she apologize? Its not like she called our fallen soldiers Losers and Suckers.
After the last four years all apologies are off.
“We’re going to back them to infinity, and beyond!”
@Rob Leonard cool and what was it apart of prior to there being a ‘space force’?…..ohhh the air force!!! no wayyyy
@Nathan M. nobody has to know what u do in your downtime troll
@mikey j
And what was the Air Force part of before the Air Force???
Oh that’s right… And they are still part of it also.
@Rob Leonard Literally everyone knew. No one needs to look it up.
@RedRocket415
No….
A Lot of people have no idea about it ….. But then again….. A lot of people think Trump won the election.
I’ll have to circle back on that
@David Harrow Cry more.
Right, circling back is far preferable to what we had the past 4 years, where whoever was press secretary at the time, would just make crap up or intentionally lie.
It’s refreshing having adults in the White House again.
@David Harrow It’s not so much how the media treats them, it’s a huge change from what we had before. We have actual adults in the current Administration, something that was lacking the past 4 years.
@CommaCam I dont cry over politics. I’ll leave that to democrats.
@Jeremy Backup Exactly. “Circling back” (aka following up) is a very good thing and a sign of respect for the media, and, by extension, respect for us as citizens. As usual, the trolls here are attempting to take an actual strength of Jen’s and flip it around as a perceived weakness. Conceptual judo.
Where is help to people????
They know they gotta have a way outta here,ha,ha nerds.
And then one time at band camp…
Space force , billions of dollars into the star’s , and they can’t even protect USA from 🇷🇺 🇨🇳 🇰🇵 Hackers.
They’re not going anywhere near the stars, not even our sun.
That is what space force is partly about, countries using Earth orbit to target nations, that includes computer systems.
*Space Farce is more like it.*
Contradictory statements by Apollo astronauts on the subject of seeing stars in space
by David Orbell
“Dr Mitchell expounded to the large audience about how his life had been transformed by the voyage to the Moon on Apollo 14. Edgar explained that as the vehicle revolved to allow solar cooling: he was astounded by the alternating view of the Sun, the Earth and above all the incredible ‘heavenly’ view of the stars.
Dr Mitchell explained that the stars were ‘magnificent’, and described them as being ‘ten times brighter’ than when observed from Earth. In fact he credited this vista with changing his life, as the euphoric effect led him to engage in the pursuit of, among other things, Eastern philosophic studies.
Edgar Mitchell also stated that he was sure that should the world’s leading politicians be exposed to this therapeutic stimulus, a unification process might ensue, aiding the world peace process. Clearly Ed Mitchell had experienced an enlightenment of such magnitude that his future life would be restructured as a result of this Nirvana-like journey.
Unquestionably the astounding star field panorama was the catalyst for this revelation. As a result of its enormous influence Dr Mitchell paid homage to this cosmic phenomenon by dedicating the first and largest part of his speech to this spectacle: he then paused and invited questions from the audience.
I responded immediately, expressing how impressive his description had been of the voyage to and from the Moon and specifically the emphasis he placed on the magnificent and intense star field he so passionately portrayed. I then achieved a long-held ambition by asking the ‘sixth man’ to walk on the Moon why the first moonwalker, Neil Armstrong, had told Patrick Moore that the stars were unobservable whilst voyaging to and from the Moon on Apollo 11.
Dr Mitchell, seemingly surprised, immediately switched the subject of my question. Describing the view from the lunar surface, he stated that ‘this required more time for the eye to adjust’. I brought him back to the question which specifically related to the view of the stars during the Earth/Moon/Earth voyage that he had so euphorically dramatised.
‘Why would Neil Armstrong deny the visibility of the stars?’ I asked, as to do so, obviously contradicted the focal point of Dr Mitchell’s lecture. Neil Armstrong is credited as the astronaut with the greatest interest in observing the heavens. He had flown jet fighters at 40,000 feet to observe the clarity of the universe at that rarefied altitude.
On 21 February 1969 Neil Armstrong visited, for the last time, the Moorhead Planetarium where he had trained eleven times previously, for a total of twenty days. This was for the purpose of perfecting his star navigation and observation techniques. I described Armstrong as being a ‘dedicated astronomer’ to Dr Mitchell.
‘No he wasn’t!’ was his abrupt and venomous reply. The sixth Moon trekker and holder of an MIT doctorate in astronautics glowered at me, and mystifyingly refuted my historically-corroborated reference. Determined not to give up, I repeated clearly, ‘Mr Armstrong stated that he couldn’t see stars!’.
This time Mitchell’s reply stunned the large audience – many whom were filming this exchange. ‘He [Neil Armstrong] didn’t know what he was talking about!’, Dr Mitchell exclaimed sharply. Immediately I received a number of nodded acknowledgments from fellow audience members who obviously were taken aback by this vociferously dogmatic critique of Neil Armstrong’s historical testament.
Many of the audience would have been aware of Armstrong’s interview with Patrick Moore on the BBC’s The Sky at Night in 1970 in which he stated: ‘The sky is a deep black when viewed from the Moon as it is when viewed from Cislunar space (the space between the Earth and the Moon).
The Earth is the only visible object other than the Sun that can be seen – although there have been some reports of seeing planets. ‘I myself did not see planets from the surface, but I suspect they may be visible.’ Cislunar space was described by Edgar Mitchell as the place where the stars were ‘ten times brighter than if viewed from the Earth’.
Ed Mitchell resumed his discourse by returning to his Alien thesis. Riveting as this is, I would prefer to leave that story for another day.
Returning to the main exhibition hall, I set course for General Charles Duke, Lunar Module pilot on Apollo 16 and officially the tenth man to walk on the Moon in 1972. Edgar Mitchell was his counterpart on Apollo 14 in 1971.
I was sure that stellar visibility memory retention should be consistent given the enormous impact it made on Ed Mitchell, so you can guess the question I put to retired Air Force Brigadier General Charles Duke: ‘No we couldn’t see the stars anytime on the voyage: it was too bright!’ he unequivocally stated, before returning to the business of the day, autograph signing for the appropriate fee.
Charles Duke had now categorically contradicted the plausibility of Edgar Mitchell’s declaration! Intriguingly, one could reverse that hypothesis.
The mystery of the ‘stars or no stars ‘ dichotomy continues to be one of the many anomalies to incite controversy in this most entertaining and yet puzzling saga in the Apollo record, undoubtedly mankind’s greatest adventure by far.
Considering the age of the veteran astronauts, little time remains for us to achieve a consistent and definitive answer to the many contradictions that are enshrined in the testaments of the men from NASA.
Neil Armstrong carefully thanked his fellow crew members, ‘those who played a role’, during his surprisingly short address to Congress on 16 November 2011. With carefully chosen wording Mr Armstrong placed little emphasis on the lunar landing as the pinnacle of NASA’s success, but instead chose to close the speech by summarising, with restraint, the epitaph to NASA’s Apollo voyages as being ‘outwards from Earth’.

“When virtual reality was still at the “ground floor” level, one of its basic components, 3D computer graphics was already in wide commercial use and expanding. By 1990,”virtual” exploration of artificial environments was being demonstrated routinely at NASA Ames and elsewhere. Since the mid-1980’s, Ames’ Aerospace Human Factors Research Division has been developing systems that permit human/computer interaction. The Virtual Interface Environment Workstation (VIEW) is a head-mounted stereoscopic display system in which the display may be an artificial computer-generated environment or a real environment relayed from remote video cameras. Operator can “step into” this environment and interact with it. The DataGlove has a series of fiber optic cables and sensors that detect any movement of the wearer’s fingers and transmit the information to a host computer; a computer generated image of the hand will move exactly as the operator is moving his gloved hand. With appropriate software, the operator can use the glove to interact with the computer scene by grasping an object. The DataSuit is a sensor equipped full body garment that greatly increases the sphere of performance for virtual reality simulations by reporting to the computer the motions, bends, gestures and spatial orientation of the wearer. VPL created its own version, the eye display in NASA’s helmet system, the EyePhone, a head-mounted stereo display. VPL has developed a line of software for virtual reality applications. The company offers a complete package, the RB2 Virtual Environment.” – https://www.nasa.gov/ames/spinoff/new_continent_of_ideas/
This is such a stupid question …for what ??? ..things will never get back to normal ….
”… And it keeps getting funnier EVery-time I SEE it!”— _Beetlejuice_
to the reporter!! IN YOUR FACE!!! with knowledge and education , facts, LOVE JOE
Who’s this Karen ?
Who is the supa hot reportah who asked that stoopid question?
Doesn’t seem too bright. Between the circling back and ummmms, she says a lot and at the same time says nothing.
I mean, you can try that angle. But it’s a tough gig and she does it as well as anyone else has. I mean, anyone competent… not the jokes who’ve stood at that podium for the previous four years.
You wouldn’t last 10 seconds trying to do her job you’d be crying for your mommy within’ a minute.
Seems very bright to me. When she says she will circle back she actually does come back with an answer. I can’t see her lying the way Trump’s spokespeople seemed happy to do.
Geez us. Get the James Webb up. Let’s see what they can do… 🤔
I really like the show. Still waiting for season 2.
Space cadet Pstupid should just stick with “I’ll have to circle back to you about that”
