with my astronomer son, and we were both giggling as we agreed that it would probably land at night.

One of the cool things he told me about it is that it will actually get very close to the sun, only a few solar diameters away at its closest approach, which will (if I understood him correctly) put it briefly in the corona.

There is so much amazing and cool stuff happening in astronomy these days.

This is the only science initiative cheetolini's wholeheartedly supported. I'm afraid its doomed.

NASA and the universities are doing incredible things with very little money.

So that would really be a perfect time to launch a rocket toward the sun so it does not get burned up and melt before it gets there.

Right ?

Not a master's degree between the three of them. Or even a job with another company. What other corporation family or public is led by such clot of knuckleheads?

No wonder Ivanka seems accomplished.

Or a cart. Could be a cart.

Depends on what Neolithic religious meme you want to use. (Working through Cunliffe's book on Europe up to 1000 AD, I've gotten to around 700 BC.)

The reality is, he COULD have tweeted something like this. But he didn't. His tweets today are as demented as usual, but this isn't one of them.
