Sod Trump, Musk and Putin.
Emotional oldie. 🇺🇦🏳️‍🌈
I'm back again but here I think I'll stick to #space topics for now.

Here's an #Apollo special.
A Flight magazine I have with a Command Module cutaway that brings the details to life.

Who else saw an Apollo launch at KSC? I saw 17 in 1972. Awesome night liftoff.

I wish Dad had filmed even more.
At Cape Colony Inn, pre-launch press event, a journalist saw my jacket with Apollo badges and went inside to get me a 17 Press Kit and astronaut badges. I was thrilled! 🙂🌗

Do I follow you?
Do you still support #Trump, #Musk and #MAGA despite everything being said and done of late?

If so then this is for you.
An EXECUTIVE ORDER from me. 👇

Show yourselves and make it easy for me. 👍

Things in the Un-united States are looking pretty Grimm with #Trump's Project 25 fairy tale now fact not fiction.

The world history now being written surely looks like more of a horror story than @stephenking.bsky.social would ever consider penning?

I may have been too harsh recently about #Trump and having found this evidence of some talent he has I thought I'd share it and say I'm impressed.

I'm not impressed by him of course.
But I am impressed by the #Canada and #Mexico leaders in telling him Do Fxck Off! 👍

I'm in need of an antidote to all the negativity in the news so here's something in case you too need a giggle.

I've had tinnitus too since I had a bad experience with Meningitis 7 years ago.

My tits arent too bad thankfully.

A pretty face can calm your soul and bring welcome distraction from scenes of grief in the world.

And boy, did she have a pretty face?
The stunning Audrey Hepburn.

Name the film.

It's a wonderful love story if you've never seen it.

Any ideas?
February 4, 2025 at 6:37 PM
No I'd best not.

Some swear words can result in posts not getting seen on here.

But then the @X algorithms do a good job of denying our visibility as it is and anti MAGA sentiments can readily bring the denial of free speech that the X owner loves so much.

But Trump is a xxxx

All of the frost we saw yesterday has gone now but it was pretty while we had it for just 3 days.

Will we have another #WINTER here in the south of England that is snow free unlike up north?

So this Gulf of Mexico #Trump nonsense...

Aside from many places called Moscow in the Un-united States there's many other place names apparently that you'd think the MAGAs living there might feel aren't quite American enough! 👇

In the Un-united States a wannabe dictator president is coming now, spewing propaganda, about to wreak retribution on enemies, deport thousands, gut government departments, and probably withdrawing from NATO bringing security concerns and division.

Familiar?
#Trump. Hitler.

We saw the #Christmas    classic Miracle on 34th Street last night.

The In God We Trust angle got me thinking.

Surely #Santa deserves way more respect than #God?
He satisfies millions every year but God? Last seen when? AWOL.
Santa brings smiles.
God lets kids get cancer.
So...

Some have served their countries and citizens well and deserve their recognition.

But some are self-serving narcissist conmen who deserve to be serving TIME for their crimes.

Sadly stupidity in some is such that they are too stupid to recognise #Trump as one of the latter.

To celebration the 52nd anniversary of the #Apollo 17 liftoff: the local paper for day before and after.

The 1st night crewed launch.

A night launch is a visual spectacle and #space fans living in Florida are very fortunate to have many opportunities to enjoy them now. 🚀

Time for the #Xmas astronaut crew to go on EVA.

Here's their tree fun from last year.

I can get a bit Bah Humbug but with this world so full of conflict and negativity, and my Mum having just left us, returning to stardust, I'm determined to find some positivity.

Ah yes a US citizen with a heart in 🇺🇦 🙂.
It is indeed sad that so many lemmings to Trump are blinkered to the greater threat from Putin, arguing America First, not realising their new president will only increase the risk of wars in pandering to Russia's dictator.

4 more years of him. Uurgh!😔

Ooh, educate me darling! 😉🏳️‍🌈

I hate litter.😠
And chewing gum.😠
This is a Lakeside shopping centre car park.

Totally covered in the stuff.

I always think about how many diseases get spread courtesy of this behaviour, into home on the soles of shoes to your floors.🤔

We must do better.
Ban #ChewingGum!

Wow. I was 16. Went to PAFB too as guests with the British Interplanetary Society for a tour.
In my video in fact.
And I was given a Press Kit by a kind reporter at the Cape Colony Inn event before the launch. Special possession!

You've seen loads I bet.
Only 17 and an Atlas in 1982 for me. 🚀

10pm.
Not long now #space fans.

Only one choice for today's T-Shirt.
🚀

Go #SpaceX
Go #Starship

10pm UK time folks.🚀🤞

Opinion: if you are a #space fan but you want this launch to fail because you hate #Musk for supporting #Trump, or for his own opinions on many issues, then you are as sad as Elon has become with his political antics imo.
