I’m happy for you, but I’m quite sad at the same time. I just can’t feel good about anything Russian, Chinese or Iranian right now. Those poor people, suffering such tyranny under those regimes. And Armenia is literally facing genocide from Azerbaijan, who are backed by Turkey, a nation notorious for wiping out whole nation’s worth of Christians. I pray for these poor people daily, along with Taiwan, India, the whole Middle East… basically all people, everywhere. But what else would I expect from a leaderless world and a worthless UN?
Boy, I’m such a downer today. Might have to play some games, or write.

Aww… Too bad. 
I’m glad they are keeping their hopes up.
I was a bit surprised by the announcer’s accent. I expected one of the UK accents.

Britain was going to give Ukraine some tanks. However, having seen what our space rockets can do, the Ukrainians have asked that we give them to the Russians instead.

If it’s better to reign in hell than to serve in heaven, then certainly it is preferable to be King of the dwarf planets instead of the most insignificant planet… ?

Road Closures Cameron County (Notices)
Something might happen coming Tuesday/Wednesday by the looks of it, after January 23rd’s record breaking full stack wet dress rehearsal with SN24 on Booster 7.
Preparations are ongoing, with SN24’s lifting points now removed and 2 Raptor Engines having been replaced on Booster 7.
We may finally get to see a static fire with all 33 Raptor Engines this coming week?!
