I'm not much good at social media; I never know what to post anymore. I love to keep up with folks but need to move away from FB and Zuckerberg. I love travel, photography, national parks, and history.

Split-image historical photograph honoring Mary Sherman Morgan (1921–2004), the pioneering American rocket fuel scientist and America's first female rocket scientist, who invented the high-energy liquid propellant Hydyne in 1957 at Rocketdyne (North American Aviation). Hydyne (a blend of unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine and diethylenetriamine) provided the critical extra thrust needed for the Jupiter-C (later renamed Juno I) rocket to successfully launch Explorer 1, the United States' first satellite, into orbit on January 31, 1958β€”helping the U.S. catch up in the early Space Race. On the left: A black-and-white portrait of a young Mary Sherman Morgan in the 1950s, seated at a desk in an office or lab setting. She wears cat-eye glasses, a light-colored blouse, a necklace, and a ring, smiling warmly and looking just right of the camera. She sits in front of an open book and is holding a pencil, with office equipment in the background. On the right: A dramatic color night-launch photograph of the Jupiter-C rocket (with "UE" markings visible on the body) blasting off from Cape Canaveral, Florida, in 1958. The rocket stands tall against a dark sky, illuminated by intense flames and bright exhaust plumes at liftoff, with billowing orange-white fire and smoke at the base as it ascends, symbolizing the successful orbital insertion powered by Morgan's innovative Hydyne fuel. This pairing highlights her behind-the-scenes contributions to one of the defining moments in space history (often overlooked). #MaryShermanMorgan #Hydyne #Explorer1 #WomenInSTEM #SpaceRace #NASA #WomenInScienceDay #IDWGS

Celebrating Mary Sherman Morgan--America's first female rocket scientist--on #NationalInventorsDay!

She invented the liquid fuel Hydyne in 1957. Its most famous use came on 31 Jan 1958, when a Juno I rocket powered by Hydyne launched Explorer 1, America’s first successful satellite.

It’s the Epstein Administration.

No wonder Bondi spent the entire hearing screeching and deflecting.

In a normal government, this results in the resignation of multiple cabinet officials (Transportation, Defense, and Homeland Security), and the closure or (at least!) radical reorg of the cartoonishly incompetent agency at the center of it: CBP.

Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.

Now, Starbucks is lifting a cap on the CEO's use of a private jet to commute from California to Seattle.

It's been four years since Starbucks stores began unionizing and workers still don't have a contract.

In just a few moments, I will vote against the so-called SAVE America Act and I am a strong no. That's because this bill would place unnecessary burdens on millions of women and eligible citizens to register to vote and make their voices heard. It is un-American & undermines our democracy.

wow -- Bondi throws a fit in response to Nadler's question about how many of Epstein's co-conspirators, if any, she's investigating, aggressively pointing at him and yelling. The hearing then devolves into chaos and Raskin and Bondi start yelling at each other.
