🚨: Engineers just proposed a 36 mile long spacecraft called 'Chrysalis' that could carry 2400 people to Alpha Centauri, just 4 light-years away from us, on one way trip. The journey will take 400 years! The passengers who board it will never see Earth again. Neither will their children. Or their grandchildren.

Today is Memorial Day.
Those who paid the ultimate price and gave all, would want you to have a great day today. They signed the check. Have all the fun.
Play with the children at the lake, field, park or beach..
Buy the good steaks.
Grill under lights in the gloaming.
Hold everyone close.
They would want it this way.
They are not forgotten, and we are not ungrateful.
And if you can… read this poem, maybe even out loud to your family or anyone who will listen, and remember that though some may be gone now… we are still seven.
We Are Seven
BY WILLIAM WORDSWORTH
———A simple Child,
That lightly draws its breath,
And feels its life in every limb,
What should it know of death?
I met a little cottage Girl:
She was eight years old, she said;
Her hair was thick with many a curl
That clustered round her head.
She had a rustic, woodland air,
And she was wildly clad:
Her eyes were fair, and very fair;
—Her beauty made me glad.
“Sisters and brothers, little Maid,
How many may you be?”
“How many? Seven in all,” she said,
And wondering looked at me.
“And where are they? I pray you tell.”
She answered, “Seven are we;
And two of us at Conway dwell,
And two are gone to sea.
“Two of us in the church-yard lie,
My sister and my brother;
And, in the church-yard cottage, I
Dwell near them with my mother.”
“You say that two at Conway dwell,
And two are gone to sea,
Yet ye are seven! I pray you tell,
Sweet Maid, how this may be.”
Then did the little Maid reply,
“Seven boys and girls are we;
Two of us in the church-yard lie,
Beneath the church-yard tree.”
“You run about, my little Maid,
Your limbs they are alive;
If two are in the church-yard laid,
Then ye are only five.”
“Their graves are green, they may be seen,”
The little Maid replied,
“Twelve steps or more from my mother’s door,
And they are side by side.
“My stockings there I often knit,
My kerchief there I hem;
And there upon the ground I sit,
And sing a song to them.
“And often after sun-set, Sir,
When it is light and fair,
I take my little porringer,
And eat my supper there.
“The first that died was sister Jane;
In bed she moaning lay,
Till God released her of her pain;
And then she went away.
“So in the church-yard she was laid;
And, when the grass was dry,
Together round her grave we played,
My brother John and I.
“And when the ground was white with snow,
And I could run and slide,
My brother John was forced to go,
And he lies by her side.”
“How many are you, then,” said I,
“If they two are in heaven?”
Quick was the little Maid’s reply,
“O Master! we are seven.”
“But they are dead; those two are dead!
Their spirits are in heaven!”
’Twas throwing words away; for still
The little Maid would have her will,
And said, “Nay, we are seven!”

Hello Sir. Is Fracture the end of galaxy’s edge? Will the storyline continue in another season or will another storyline start in the same universe?

“The President of the United States of America, in the name of Congress, takes pride in presenting the Medal of Honor (Posthumously) to Staff Sergeant Gus Kefurt (ASN: 35235413), United States Army, for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity above and beyond the call of duty on 23 and 24 December 1944, while serving with Company K, 3d Battalion, 15th Infantry Regiment, 3d Infantry Division, in action near Bennwihr, France. Early in the attack Staff Sergeant Kefurt jumped through an opening in a wall to be confronted by about 15 Germans. Although outnumbered he opened fire, killing ten and capturing the others. During a seesaw battle which developed he effectively adjusted artillery fire on an enemy tank close to his position although exposed to small arms fire. When night fell he maintained a three-man outpost in the center of the town in the middle of the German positions and successfully fought off several hostile patrols attempting to penetrate our lines. Assuming command of his platoon the following morning he led it in hand-to-hand fighting through the town until blocked by a tank. Using rifle grenades he forced surrender of its crew and some supporting infantry. He then continued his attack from house to house against heavy machinegun and rifle fire. Advancing against a strongpoint that was holding up the company, his platoon was subjected to a strong counterattack and infiltration to its rear. Suffering heavy casualties in their exposed position the men remained there due to Staff Sergeant Kefurt’s personal example of bravery, determination and leadership. He constantly exposed himself to fire by going from man to man to direct fire. During this time he killed approximately 15 of the enemy at close range. Although severely wounded in the leg he refused first aid and immediately resumed fighting. When the forces to his rear were pushed back three hours later, he refused to be evacuated, but, during several more counterattacks moved painfully about under intense small arms and mortar fire, stiffening the resistance of his platoon by encouraging individual men and by his own fire until he was killed. As a result of Staff Sergeant Kefurt’s gallantry the position was maintained.”

“The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress July 9, 1918 (amended by an act of July 25, 1963), takes pride in presenting the Silver Star (Posthumously) to Second Lieutenant (Infantry) Leonard Douglas Davis (ASN: OF-104697), United States Army, for gallantry in action. Second Lieutenant Davis distinguished himself on 2 August 1966 while serving as platoon leader of Company C, 2d Battalion, 35th Infantry Regiment, 25th Infantry Division, in relief of a beleaguered unit which had made contact with a large Viet Cong force in the Republic of Vietnam. Upon reaching the friendly force, the company received intense hostile fire from fortified Viet Cong emplacements. Unhesitatingly, Second Lieutenant Davis maneuvered his platoon into position to bring effective fire upon the insurgents. Upon learning that the bodies of four members of a reconnaissance platoon were outside the perimeter, Second Lieutenant Davis was directed to recover the bodies. He organized a three-man team and personally led them outside the perimeter. Because of the intensity of hostile fire in the area, the recovery team was forced to return to the perimeter. Although the perimeter was subjected to intense Viet Cong fire, Second Lieutenant Davis, with complete disregard for his safety, moved among his men, encouraged them and issued instructions. During the course of the action, three hostile mortar rounds landed in the friendly perimeter and Second Lieutenant Davis was mortally wounded by the mortar fragments. His extraordinary heroism in close combat against a numerically superior Viet Cong force was in keeping with the highest traditions of military service and reflects great credit upon himself, his unit, and the United States Army.”

“On June 23, 2005, Valdez was serving with the Female Search Force where she helped guard checkpoints and search Iraqi women and children. Her convoy was on its way back to Camp Fallujah when a suicide bomber in a car, veered across a road and swerved directly into the convoy, causing a massive explosion that killed Valdez and two other women and three men, severely burning seven other women. When she was killed, she was three days short of her 21st birthday.”

“Pfc. Christopher Adlesperger entered a house full of insurgents on November 10 after the point man was killed and two other Marines were wounded. Wounded in the face by grenade fragments himself, Pfc. Adlespeger, on his own, cleared a stairway and rooftop of insurgent fighters while taking intense fire, using both grenades and his rifle.
In a written statement, platoon corpsman Alonso Rogero stated that “[he] was killing insurgents so they couldn’t make it up the roof. The insurgents tried to run up the ladder well, but PFC Adlesperger kept shooting them and throwing grenades on top of them.”
Pfc. Adlesperger didn’t rejoin his platoon until an assault vehicle broke through a wall on the main floor. Even then, he asked to take the point for the final attack on the entrenched machine gun. He rushed the courtyard and eliminated the final enemy at close range. He was credited with killing at least 11 insurgents.
He was killed a month later and was posthumously promoted to lance corporal and recommended for the Medal of Honor for his actions on November 10 in Fallujah.”

John Dewey Livingston was killed in action on October 16, 1970 in Binh Thuy Province, South Vietnam. John was 20 years.
John was awarded the Bronze Star Medal for Valor, with Combat Distinguishing Device (V) and with the Oak Leaf Cluster, for his exemplary gallantry in action. He served as an Infantryman and was assigned to D CO, 2ND BN, 5TH CAVALRY, 1ST CAV DIV.
“John was 5 years older than me. We worked together for several summer’s picking strawberries. I always looked up to him. He was so cool driving his Mustang. His death was tragic. I still think of him often.”
“My mother and John were deeply devoted to one another when he tragically lost his life in Vietnam. I just held his Bible and pictures this week after she passed away at the age of 71. Thank you for your service and loving her so well.”

“For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty on 10 June 1944, near Vaubadon, France. As scouts were advancing across an open field, the enemy suddenly opened fire with several machine guns and hit one of the men. SSgt. DeFranzo courageously moved out in the open to the aid of the wounded scout and was himself wounded but brought the man to safety. Refusing aid, SSgt. DeFranzo reentered the open field and led the advance upon the enemy. There were always at least two machine-guns bringing unrelenting fire upon him, but SSgt. DeFranzo kept going forward, firing into the enemy and one by one the enemy emplacements became silent. While advancing he was again wounded, but continued on until he was within 100 yards of the enemy position and even as he fell, he kept firing his rifle and waving his men forward. When his company came up behind him, SSgt. DeFranzo, despite his many severe wounds, suddenly raised himself and once more moved forward in the lead of his men until he was again hit by enemy fire. In a final gesture of indomitable courage, he threw several grenades at the enemy machine-gun position and completely destroyed the gun. In this action SSgt. DeFranzo lost his life, but by bearing the brunt of the enemy fire in leading the attack, he prevented a delay in the assault which would have been of considerable benefit to the foe, and he made possible his company's advance with a minimum of casualties. The extraordinary heroism and magnificent devotion to duty displayed by SSgt. DeFranzo was a great inspiration to all about him and is in keeping with the highest traditions of the Armed Forces.”

In the bloodiest battle in Marine Corps history, 27 Marines and sailors were awarded the Medal of Honor for action on Iwo Jima. No other campaign surpassed that number.
As his unit advanced on Nishi Ridge, his best friend was killed right next to him. On March 8, La Belle’s platoon came under intense enemy fire and La Belle and two other Marines took shelter in a cave. La Belle caught a glimpse of a Japanese soldier as he threw a grenade into the cave. He shouted a warning to the other Marines as he dove onto the grenade before it exploded, saving their lives. Private First Class James La Belle was 19 years old.
