  • As an actual Oregonian, unlike the Russian disinformation that has posted so far, this is a good decision. I’m Democratic, but the mere fact that one party may benefit from or be hurt by “stolen votes” is irrelevant. The point is people should be able to vote for those who represent their views.

    There are a lot of libertarians in Oregon. Plus, the state legislature GOP is a super dick about everything they don’t like. We literally amended our state constitution to punish legislative absenteeism because the GOP members were denying quorum as a strategy.


  • The S-IVB-506.

    This was the third stage of the launch vehicle for Apollo 11. After entering Earth orbit, the S-IVB rocket was responsible for the translunar injection burn. Once the burn was complete, the command module, LEM, astronauts and the spent rocket were then coasting to the moon. The astronauts would detach the CSM, pitch up, translate in, extract the LEM, then thrust with RCS to get clear of the S-IVB. At this point, the rocket is still on a coarse to the moon.

    Many of them orbit between the Earth and moon to this day. One is speculated to orbit between the Earth and Sun. Many impacted the lunar surface, including the one from Apollo 13.

    The S-IVB-506 rocket was the one that carried Apollo 11 to the moon. It’s a piece of human history, floating silently in a heliocentric orbit above us.
