Only 75% here in TX, wish I could have seen the Total Eclipse. None the less still very cool. First eclipse I've ever seen.

Just rolled back in from watching it floating in a lake in southern IL... stunning. Surreal. I'm still wrapping my brain around it LOL. We're also going to get the 2024 one right here at home, really looking forward to doing it again.

Aah sorry to hear that but I'm sure she had a lot of enthusiasm for what she saw. "Totality" ceases to be a term, replaced by a much deeper experience. But any eclipse action is damn cool!

Wow that's awesome. On another note, the ISS flew over our place Friday night, got to watch it hustle across the starry night sky for about three minutes. "There's people up there!" LOL

To me the time dilation is the freaky part. Can't get my mind around that. Of course when your traveling at just under the speed of light, wouldn't even the smallest particle rip through the ship?

So this administration (like most) has promised a lot of things, but delivered few of them, even so I was interested (excited?) to hear this announcement over the last few days...

NASA already get $20B/year, have to think that will go up if they're now going to the moon. I'm sure our financially conservative government wouldn't just increase that without paying for it, so increased taxs, offset military spending or maybe just slash Medicaid and Medicare?
