July 20, 1969. “Contact light, engine stop.” The Apollo 11 lunar module Eagle touched down at Tranquility Base on the Moon.
A few hours later, Neil Armstrong and I stepped foot on the Moon, with Michael Collins orbiting close-by.
An achievement resulting from years of incalculable effort, commitment, and team work.
We all did our part to see President Kennedy’s words become reality: “We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard; because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one we intend to win, and the others too.”
I couldn’t be prouder to have completed this mission with the hundreds of thousands of people that helped get us to the moon and back home. God bless the USA and all of humankind.

This will literally bankrupt the U.S. If you ever wondered why NOAA/NWS is in the department of commerce, I have some news for you. Every single $ of our economy is impacted by the weather. Agriculture, Energy, Travel, Logistics, Defense, logistics of every major company, etc I could go on but you get the idea. Seems like this will quickly get reversed, we can hope.

NEW: The Trump admin has informed NOAA that two buildings that are critical for weather forecasting will have their leases canceled. If this comes to pass, it's a really big deal. Includes weather fcst nerve center in College Park, Md.: axios.com/2025/03/03/dog…

This is horrible news for numerical weather prediction in this country.
The data that comes from these key parts of our weather enterprise saves lives.

It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up. kyivindependent.com/editorial-a-pr…

3 years ago today, I and many others sitting in a Twitter Space, watched through news feeds, livestreams, satellite imagery, and pictures/videos as Russia launched a full-scale invasion against the the sovereign nation of Ukraine, beginning the largest and most important war in Europe since the end of WWll. Advancing from Belarus, Crimea, and Western Russia into the country, as air and missile strikes rained down on Ukrainian cities; initial expectations were grim, the Russian military was larger and more advanced, with some expecting Kyiv and a vast majority of Ukraine to fall within days if not hours. However, through the strength and determination of the Ukrainian people, and with support from allies and partners in the United States, Europe and across the world, Ukraine has held, pushing Russian forces out of Northern Ukraine and away from cities and region in the East and South. These battles and offensives will live on in history books, as civilian and military casualties in the war have well surpassed a million, with it remaining ongoing over 1,000 days later. Ukraine continues to fight the Russians in the East, and until Russia decides to finally withdraw or a peace settlement is agreed upon, Ukrainians will continue to fight and die for their homeland while Russians will continue to fight and die for nothing except the ego of Vladimir Putin.
