A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.
I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

Centrifugal force on the surface of this rapidly rotating asteroid would be 0.11g outwards! So almost Lunar-level anti-gravity…
You spin us right 'round!
NSF–DOE Rubin Observatory scientists at #AAS247 just announced the discovery of a record-breaking asteroid over 500m in size that spins once every ~2 minutes 🤯😵💫
It’s the fastest-rotating asteroid this big ever found! 🔭🧪☄️

In a declared "national emergency," the President is empowered to control every device radiating electricity in the USA.
That includes the fridge, toaster, & phone in your house (among other stuff)

For many times the length of our recorded history, our next-generations of integrated housing & touring architectures will integrate air as their principal means of structural support to be operated via anti-equilateral multi-helical control-trusses & simple 'twist-to-pull' -type actuators.
![(AI-) Balloon['bot]hausen [will, ASAP] exercise model-following compounded & compiled torsional balancing against their low & variable (small) HVAC-pressurized (catenaried matched-panels between bellows..) articulated 'membranes'.
Note: Equilateral-geometries are fundamental to relatively-inactive stationary 'forms', while anti-equilateral-geometries are fundamental to active & adept 'shapes'; (and) therefore, this addresses the probable predominant 'bungalow-standard' vehicles throughout the cosmos, whether we like it or not.
Furthermore, w/ ("quick-change") Paws (w/wo 'toes') Hooves, 'Hands', Fins, Hooks Etc., instead of 'wheels' & faster-than-martial-arts reaction-rates, and at 'least several other task-(& self-repair..)-specific features, their already understood capabilities will raise their durability & 'completed mission' rates on- & off-'Earth. In the quantities 'required to accomplish (our) scaled-up mining-works, their launch-costs will also benefit us, but more importantly, balloon'bots have only internal bearings, so regolith dusts, which will (not-entirely) fall-away, will only cause (treatable) cosmetic damage, 'ever!
More critically, howeever, balloonhausen will also enable & perform best-available educational & medical support & and emergency response treatments.
