🤣 I'm old enough to remember these envelopes.
Want to hear something crazy? I know of a large government agency that still uses the old dept mail codes for their org names.

Can’t wait to see the first Lunar Rovers explore this area.
Is the lunar soil the same in the polar regions as in the previously explored locations on the Moon? I think there is a high probability it is not, and that rovers will be more likely to get stuck in the softer upper layer of the soil there. Please see the explanation below.

Just thought of a dozen real world scenarios for this type of technology.
All of @teamlabkyoto was awesome but my favorite was that you can draw a fish, they scan it, and your fish is immediately swimming with the others

Yes! Two astronauts share a special moment. @DrSianProctor
Neat!
How do you measure your weight when you are weightless? Watch and you will find out! A spring inside of this unit is calibrated so that a heavy object at the end oscillates at a different frequency than a lighter object. I ended up being 2 kg less than when I arrived. You often lose 10% body mass in the first two weeks and then slowly gain that back though it can vary a lot from person to person.

Let's go!
The next chapter of lunar exploration will require more than reaching the Moon.
As @NASA advances its Moon Base plans, Voyager has been selected for the CLPS 2 vendor pool, eligible to compete for task orders supporting the infrastructure and capabilities needed for future lunar missions.

Count your blessings; life turns in a second.
I don't know this family, but I know what the gut punch feels like.
I lost my brother-in-law to suicide today.
My sister asked me to pick up her two boys from school because she was too wrecked to drive. I knew they’d wonder why I was picking them up in the middle of the school day, and I had a 30-minute drive home to get through with them.
On my way there, I prayed hard for the strength to keep it together and for the right words if they started asking questions.
I stopped at the middle school for the youngest before heading to the high school for his older brother. When he climbed into the front seat of my car, he pulled out his phone and read a text from his dad out loud. His dad had told him that he was sorry for the mistakes he’d made and to remember how much he loved him.
My little nephew had no idea he was reading his dad’s final goodbye, but I did.
It took everything in me to hold it together right then. I knew what I was taking him home to and what my sister was about to have to tell him and his brother.
I sat next to them on the couch when she told them the news. The grief that followed felt like watching a heavy bone china bowl fall in slow motion and shatter into a million pieces in the middle of the room. There was no fixing it. I wanted so badly to say something that would make it hurt a little less. All I could do was sit there with them.
It was a gut-wrenching day.
