@Ragin_Cajun79 @CajunVetX @pitbullpatriot3 @hmcrem **Artemis II Return – Official NASA Recovery Log (leaked):** After a flawless 10-day journey around the Moon, the Orion capsule splashed down exactly as planned... ...except the "crew" that emerged needed a bit more than the usual medical check. NASA recovery teams were met by four very enthusiastic primates in full flight suits, high-fiving each other and apparently demanding bananas as their post-mission snack. One ape was overheard muttering, “Houston, we have a problem… the humans forgot to board.” Ground control is still trying to figure out how the actual astronauts were replaced by what appears to be the world’s most overqualified monkey cosmonauts. Mission status: **Successful.** Crew status: **Extremely hairy and suspiciously good at zero-g barrel rolls.** Next up: Artemis III – now accepting applications from chimpanzees with pilot licenses. Welcome home, fellas. The bananas are on us. 🍌🚀

@pitbullpatriot3 @Hunter_Eagleman @BrummettRobin I'm not emotional.

@Hunter_Eagleman @BrummettRobin I bet I've blocked more people this week than I have in the past 2 years!

I’ll be honest…. There’s some emotional retards on this app right now! Block button in effect today!

@ankoromochuu Feel the love.

正直、アメリカ人がこんなに日本を愛してくれてるとは知らなかった。 むしろ、アメリカ人は日本を下に見ていると思ってた。左翼にそう思わされてた。 実際には尊敬してくれていると知って、心があたたかくなってる。 アメリカ国内の日本の良いイメージは、安倍元総理の貢献も大きいだろうね🇯🇵🤝🇺🇸

@Tactical_review Who says they did not land...

I swear to god, if NASA doesn't do this in 9 days, I'm going to be upset. Visit Xring3.com

Nearest Spaceport-a-Potty That sleek, egg-shaped space toilet pod (complete with the private door, harnessed seat, blue ambient lighting, control panels, and those floating TP rolls + wipes packet) is next-level compared to the UWMS we were just talking about on Artemis II. Here are the top recommended positions in space to deploy this standalone toilet pod—chosen for engineering practicality, crew comfort, mission needs, and a bit of zero-g fun:1. Near Rectilinear Halo Orbit (NRHO) around the Moon — Lunar Gateway sweet spot Why: This is the exact orbit planned for NASA’s Lunar Gateway station (Artemis program). The pod could dock as a modular “bathroom annex” for crews staying weeks at a time. Stable, great views of the lunar south pole, and easy resupply from Starship or Orion. 2. Low Earth Orbit (LEO) — 400 km altitude, ~51.6° inclination Why: Classic ISS-style orbit for easy crew access and testing. Deploy it as an add-on module to future commercial stations (like Axiom or Starlab). Quick 90-minute orbits mean fast ground communication if the fan jams again. Bonus: Earth selfie background exactly like your image. 3. Cis-lunar space (trans-lunar trajectory) — attached to Orion or a deep-space habitat Why: For missions like Artemis II/III flybys or future Mars precursors. The pod’s built-in thrusters (those blue jets at the bottom) let it maneuver and dock autonomously. Keeps the main crew capsule “odor-free” during the 10-day+ trips. 4. Lunar surface habitat — South Pole (Shackleton Crater rim) Why: Permanent Artemis base camp. Bury or hard-dock the pod into a pressurized lunar habitat. Microgravity handles aren’t needed on the surface, but the private door and unisex design still win. Plus, the Moon’s 1/6 g makes cleanup way easier than free-floating.

@Ragin_Cajun79 @titan2_w53 The best way to BBQ is to show up about half an hour before lunch, offer to help, and don't forget to bring a case of Sam Adams - which pairs well with barbecued meat. Don't forget something for those who don't drink. Oh, no one turns down pie!

Anyone arguing “4 hours vs 10 hours,” is basically announcing they cook with hope you don’t understand BBQ. BBQ isn’t a timer... it's temp, feel, and control. People out there treating a pork shoulder like microwave instructions and then wondering why it eats like regret and shame. Cook to probe tender. Everything else is just guessing. 🤣🤣🤣 @goodbreffis @TapRootsFood @DadsSeasonings

プルドポークもどき、アメリカの人達がいっぱいコメントくれてるけど、みんな調理時間違って笑うんだけど。 5時間は短い！10時間はやらないと！と言う長時間派や手軽に食べるなら4時間でも良いよ！って派閥も居たり色々居るなぁ。 各家庭でやり方がある感じで面白い。

@CajunVetX Good morning! I won the night… now it’s time to conquer the day! I’m on my coffee break, sipping the good stuff while my wife’s Jesus music plays in the background. God is good, the coffee is hot, and this old dirtbag is still kicking. 😎

Good morning Just rolled out of bed looking like a majestic potato that survived the night. Coffee’s brewing, chaos is loading... let’s make today ridiculously awesome! Happy good Friday

@Ragin_Cajun79 @CajunVetX @pitbullpatriot3 @hmcrem Good morning.

@tedcruz My take, 😂

This…is…awesome. 🤣🤣🤣

@Unit_9900 @amuse We still have 40% of the current troops in the EU.

@FBeltzer @amuse What a gay way to turn us into a regional power.

NATO: The US doesn’t necessarily need to formally exit NATO but it should shutter its bases and bring all 100,000 troops home from Europe. The EU should enlist the thousands of military age Islamic men to defend the continent.

@Ragin_Cajun79 @CajunVetX @pitbullpatriot3 @hmcrem Executive Summary: The **Artemis II** mission (NASA's first crewed Artemis flight, currently underway as of April 2, 2026) uses the **Universal Waste Management System (UWMS)**—a new "space toilet" installed in the Orion spacecraft. This marks a significant upgrade from Apollo-era plastic bags, featuring handles for microgravity stability, simultaneous urine/feces collection, compatibility for all genders, and even a private door. ### Recent Issue and Resolution Shortly after launch on April 1, 2026, the crew (including Christina Koch) reported a **blinking fault light** on the toilet system during a routine checkout. The issue involved a jammed fan or malfunctioning controller (affecting urine collection primarily, while fecal collection remained usable). The crew used contingency urine collection bags temporarily. Mission Control in Houston worked with the crew to troubleshoot. Astronaut Christina Koch performed in-flight repairs under guidance, and the system was restored to **normal operations** within several hours (overnight into April 2). NASA confirmed: "Happy to report that toilet is go for use," with recommendations to let the system reach operating speed before and after use. As of the latest NASA updates on April 2, 2026, the toilet is functioning normally for the remainder of the ~10-day lunar flyby mission. No further issues have been reported. This minor hiccup highlights the challenges of deep-space systems but was resolved quickly without impacting the mission. The UWMS was previously tested on the ISS, and Artemis II provides valuable real-world data for future lunar missions.

@pitbullpatriot3 Truth 👏 It's amazing that someone can explain what God means in the scriptures without actually quoting it. Conversations are fun.

You know what I like about X? Everybody here is an expert, no matter what your question is! Religion, foreign policy, health, government, you name it, there's an expert here! They'll even explain what God really meant in the scriptures... if you're dumb enough to listen! 🤣🤣

@Ragin_Cajun79 @CajunVetX @pitbullpatriot3 @hmcrem Executive Summary: Operation Border Sentinel v2.0 Objective Repatriate approximately 60,000 U.S. military personnel and associated equipment from forward bases in Germany, Poland, the UK, Spain, and Belgium to a new homeland-focused posture. The plan prioritizes the southern U.S.-Mexico border (leveraging expanded National Defense Areas covering ~1/3 of the border for patrols, surveillance, and detention) while dispersing a portion across the northern U.S.-Canada border for continental defense and NORAD integration. Key Outcomes & Benefits • Immediate enhancement of southern border security and northern deterrence. • 25–35% reduction in overseas operating costs. • Full integration of returning Army and Air Force units into border missions with minimal new construction. • Maintained NATO alliance commitments through phased drawdown and European burden-sharing.

Hey crew, Huge shoutout to every one of us for the Artemis II launch! We just watched months of relentless hard work, late-night problem-solving, and pure passion blast off into the history books. It’s incredible to see our collective effort become a roaring success—proof that when we pull together, we can move the Moon and shape the future. Thanks for every coffee-fueled morning, every debug marathon, and every “what if” that turned into a breakthrough. This launch belongs as much to you as it does to the agency, and it’s only the beginning of an extraordinary journey. Let’s celebrate this win, catch our breath, and keep the momentum rolling. Onward to the next milestone!

@CajunVetX Good morning 🌞

Good morning New day, new bag, zero excuses. Let's go make the timeline jealous. Who's up

@Ragin_Cajun79 @CajunVetX @pitbullpatriot3 @hmcrem The US dominates NATO: its $980B budget is 62% of the alliance total (vs. ~$610B for all other 31 members combined), while its 1.33 million active personnel roughly equal the combined strength of the 9 listed European allies.
