Artemis II will lift off tomorrow, fly around the moon and return safely back to earth. It starts with the six engines producing 8.8 million pounds of thrust and ends with a splashdown off the coast of California and a ship recovering the astronauts and capsule. Here’s an animation of many of the dynamic and exciting steps that happen in between!

USA USA USA!!!!!

RED, WHITE, BLUE AND GOLD. TEAM USA IS BRINGING HOME THE #WINTEROLYMPICS GOLD. 🇺🇸🦅

The winning OT goal for US hockey. On to the semifinals.

This man has completed a Sub-six-minute mile pace uphill on skis. Actually insane.

Sam Darnold lost money on Sunday?? Boomer says the NFLPA should shut down any future Super Bowls in California:

Never give up. Determination is a beautiful thing.

Players who do their own thing in the weight room, will do their own thing in games. You want your coaches (and teammates), to know that you're fully committed, and ALL IN?! Show up early, do the team workouts, go above & beyond, and empower others to do the same!

Cougars attacking the offseason! Great morning in the weightroom! @hammondtime

How does a $17.5 billion industry still have no rules? 🤯 Nearly all of the revenue in college athletics is driven by a small group of football programs, which is why league-style governance and collective bargaining will actually solve enforcement and cost control.

Called it correctly. Every one.

Mike Rowe: “We’ve been telling kids for 15 years to learn to code.” “Well, AI is coming for the coders.” “It’s not coming for the welders, the plumbers, the steamfitters, the pipefitters, the HVAC, or the electricians.” “In Aspen, I sat and listened to Larry Fink say we need 500,000 electricians in the next couple of years—not hyperbole.” “The BlueForge Alliance, who oversees our maritime industrial base—that’s 15,000 individual companies who are collectively charged with building and delivering nuclear-powered subs to the Navy … calls and says, we’re having a hell of a time finding tradespeople. Can you help?” “I said, I don’t know, man … how many do you need? He says, 140,000.” “These are our submarines. Things go hypersonic, a little sideways with China, Taiwan, our aircraft carriers are no longer the point of the spear. They’re vulnerable.” “Our submarines matter, and these guys have a pinch point because they can’t find welders and electricians to get them built.” “The automotive industry needs 80,000 collision repair and technicians.” “Energy, I don’t even know what the number is, I hear 300,000, I hear 500,000.” “There is a clear and present freakout going on right now. I’ve heard from six governors in the last six months. I’ve heard from the heads of major companies.”

Not sure what is harder being a Packer fan or an Aggie fan. Ugh!!!

3 Cheers For CO₂! The Climate Scam is built on lies, and the demonisation of CO₂ is the Daddy of them all. @Martin_Durkin @TomANelson

‼️Every coach and leader should listen to this. 📢The success Indiana has achieved has not been an accident. 💪This is a 45 second synopsis of how you become elite.

Trinidad Chambliss was a 0 star and Fernando Mendoza was a 2 star coming out of high school. Both had to beg their way into college football. Both had and have special makeup and incredible work ethic. The coaches that knew them the best growing up, were probably telling college coaches they were special but the college coaches were reliant on the rankings to formulate their opinions.

THE TEXAS A&M AGGIES ARE NATIONAL CHAMPIONS🏆 👍 #GigEm // #AggieVB

First Final Four jitters? Couldn't be us.
