This is real life. This is a thing that really happened.

Back in the Fall, I had heard about a SpaceX worker who wrote on the company's intranet asking that Musk stop wearing company apparel at political rallies.
After he posted that, he had his access shut off and was walked out of his office.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

SpaceX Crew-7 astronaut & former ISS commander Andreas Mogensen disputes Elon Musk’s assertion that Butch & Suni were “abandoned” on the ISS for political reasons.
Musk’s response is absolutely appalling.
This is what things have come to in the space community in 2025.

Using JWST, scientists recently observed a protoplanetary disk and gas jets located around a newborn star.
Furthermore, Webb was used to investigate "light echoes" traveling through interstellar material near Cassiopeia A.
