In 1986, the American Medical Association published an article titled "The Physical Death of Jesus Christ". It details the entire process of Jesus' trial to His death on the cross. In Luke 22, before Jesus is arrested, it is written that He was in great distress & sweating blood. Although rare, it is recognized as Hematidrosis, a condition caused by high levels of stress. At the time, the crucifixion was considered the worst death for the worst of criminals. But this is not all Jesus faced. He endured whipping so severe that it tore the flesh from His body. He was beaten so horribly that His face was torn & His beard ripped. A crown of thorns, 2-3 inches long cut deeply into His scalp. The leather whip used to flog Him had tiny iron balls & sharp bones. The balls caused internal injuries while the sharp bones ripped open His flesh. His skeletal muscles, veins, & bowels are exposed, causing major blood loss. Most men do not survive this kind of torture. After Jesus was severely flogged, He was forced to carry His cross while people mocked & spat on Him. Crucifixion was a process meant to instill excruciating pain, creating a slow & agonizing death. Nails as long as 8 inches were driven into Jesus' wrists & feet. The Roman soldiers knew the tendons in the wrists would tear & break, forcing Jesus to use His back muscles to support Himself to breathe. Imagine the struggle, the pain, the courage...Jesus endured this reality for 3 hours! The Gospel of John writes that after Jesus' death, a Roman soldier pierced His side with a spear & blood & water came out. Scientists explain that from hypovolemic shock, the rapid heart rate causes fluid to gather in the sack around the lungs & heart. The accumulation of fluid in the membrane around the heart is called a Pericardial effusion & the lungs is called a pleural effusion. To the world, Christianity is as foolish as it can get. They believe it's for the weak. But when you are confronted by the reality of the cross, it's clearly not a pretty sight. It is brutal & horrific. This is the weight Jesus carried. The weight of the sins of the world, all so that we can live. God's wrath is fully satisfied in Jesus. This is what it took. Repent & believe! Jesus is “God among us” in the flesh. Jesus is our Savior. Jesus loves you so much that He went through this spiritual and physical punishment for your sins and mine. Jesus is the LORD, Almighty God, Everlasting Father. Thank You, Jesus.

@ericquig @Catholicizm1 I have a picture with the rocket that other people took. I’m not dumb enough to share it online tho lol

@Catholic_Astro @Catholicizm1 LIAR! Where is your selfie proving it! Or are you an actual normal and cool person who lived in the moment?

Never underestimate the narcissism of women.

@lndexium Lockheed!

Artemis is “science.” Sure. But we have other missions that we want to fly. For instance Dragonfly is an helicopter probe that will fly on Saturn’s moon Titan. The Nancy Roman telescope is another example of a science mission that we want to do. There’s more to NASA than just the lunar program. ISS is aging, but that budget also goes to helping other companies build their own commercial stations to replace ISS.

@Catholic_Astro @NoLifeJordan69 "Science!!" Artemis is also science. Be specific. Oh wait you didn't read it! ISS is also aging and a decade past its retirement date.

Cutting NASA right after Artemis II launches is crazy work

@OriginWx @NoLifeJordan69 But things like science and the ISS are cut. This is a 23% reduction dumbass.

@NoLifeJordan69 Artemis gained $800 million, but you didn't read the document.

The White House is proposing $18.8 billion for NASA in FY27, a 23% cut to NASA's 2026 enacted funding. Science, ISS, and education major targets of the proposed cuts. whitehouse.gov/wp-content/upl…

@Mookafish @NASAWatch @NASA @NASAAdmin Okay, but that’s also his boss. You gotta tell your boss he’s doing a good job, which Trump now is (at least with space flight), if you want more support.

@NASAWatch @NASA @NASAAdmin Sucks that Jared has to glaze the president all the time to keep his job. In an ideal world we would get a boost to the NASA budget on top of Jared making NASA more efficient.

NASA's Artemis III mission set for 2027.

@safety3rdmoto @NASA No, this is actually a night-time shot of the Earth. You can see the lights from Europe in the photo. What they basically did was turn up the brightness so that you could see the Earth as well as stars around it.

@NASA Hey look! They finally added stars to their fake photos!

Good morning, world! 🌎 We have spectacular new high-resolution images of our home planet, all of us looking back through the Orion capsule window at our Artemis II astronauts as they continue their journey to the Moon.

@Jason8675309op @safety3rdmoto @NASA Look at Europe

@safety3rdmoto @NASA Still no city lights tho

We see our home planet as a whole, lit up in spectacular blues and browns. A green aurora even lights up the atmosphere. That's us, together, watching as our astronauts make their journey to the Moon.

@DCaolite @Catholicizm1 No?

@Catholic_Astro @Catholicizm1 Are you vaccinated?

@Ibehinduu @Catholicizm1 I understand the concept of women moments.

@Catholic_Astro @Catholicizm1 Missed the point. Pls don't talk when u don't even understand

@kingocho3 @skscartoon NASA is helping to fund and develop Starship. If it wasn’t for NASA, SpaceX would have gone bankrupt a long time ago.

@skscartoon NASA is inefficient and bloated because it’s run by the government 🤦🏾‍♂️ Thank God for the private sector with companies like SpaceX to remind humanity that the job is not done until humans live amongst the stars 😎

As excited as I am about Artemis 2, I really wish they were doing it with Starship

@FFairing @ThePrimalDino @skscartoon NASA is helping to fund and develop Starship.

@ThePrimalDino @skscartoon imagine if they funded starship as long as they did sls and orion though

@cyrkaur @ThePrimalDino @skscartoon Depends, but even then it will not house the astronauts as they will launch and return on Orion.

@ThePrimalDino @skscartoon Starship will be running Artemis 3 and 4.

@Templarpilled We shall proclaim Christ the King’s name across the cosmos, for He is King of the Universe.

Unfortunately, Artemis II seems to have caused some complete uneducated dumbos to start giving the worst takes ever conceived by man about space exploration. I just hope this is a case of the most annoying people having the loudest voice and not a reflection of public opinion.

I had a few before lift off, for my mother who wanted some. Not every day you can get a picture with a rocket that weighs 2,600 metric tons fully fueled. Not saying she didn’t do a woman moment but, she’s a woman experiencing the full launch force of a moon rocket. Of course she’ll take a selfie.

@Catholic_Astro @Catholicizm1 Nice, did you post 20 selfies in front of it and make the launch about you as well?

@timbersongs @lporiginalg @glennbeck Senator Mark Kelly is there

@lporiginalg @glennbeck So far, I have seen the following "conservative" representatives cover the space launch. Glenn Beck Benny Johnson Daily Wire's Michael Knowles Gavin McInnes What do they have in common?

God is great.
