Massively short. One of the lowest paid municipal police departments in the state. WpD used to be looked upon as one of the best organizations in the state. You get what you pay for. Yesterday I do live here TT you cowardice for blicking me when I called you out. I have li Ed in Wilmington, NC since 1990, and was a cop there for over 30 years. I put pedophiles and other sickos away, Google my name. So TT, yes I speak from a position of personal experience and insight. You cannot label an entire organization "incompetent" based on a snippet of video that looks bad. Could the officers have done better? Perhaps, but when you pay rock bottom wages, you are indeed getting exactly what you are "paying for". Stop police bashing. It's beyond old. There are still many great people in WPD who do a great job. So stay home and boycott the Azalea Festival, you're in good company.

North Carolina is back in the news for all the wrong reasons: 👉🏼 Decarlos Brown Jr. has been found incompetent to stand trial for murdering Iryna Zarutska. 👉🏼 A 21-year-old Marine was stabbed to death in downtown Wilmington. WPD appeared incompetent in the video footage. 👉🏼 Fuquay-Varina wants to take 6 million gallons of water a day from the Cape Fear River basin. 👉🏼 Drones are policing NC interstates and highways. Have thoughts? Join us for NC Chats tonight! We’ll start at 7:30. Everybody is welcome—but everybody will be nice so I don’t have to be ugly. The link is in the comments. BYOB. Talk to y’all soon! 🤗

@heartsabustin @dogwoodblooms That's an over reach to label on an entire organization. It's like saying all Christian jewelers are bufoons ineligible to sit in judgement of those who do a job you never would. Just sayin.

@atensnut Cannonball run. The 2 women in purple drove the Whote Lamborghini Countach, and every red blooded Amercan GenX boy had a poster of that car in their room.

@BrandonStraka This the first time we have gone to the moon with humans (while other humans are in low Earth orbit). I think he merely misspoke.

@yamato_takeru @pacificdaniel @NASA The bottom portion of the LEM is still on the moon. Only the too portion lifted off to dock with the command module. We 100% went to the moon with Apollo missions.

Time to wake up! ...if you're going to the Moon. Our Artemis II crew started their second flight day with the sounds of John Legend's "Green Light" (feat. Andre 3000). "Sleepyhead" by Young and Sick roused the crew earlier today.

The on-board cameras on the nasa stream have lacked hugely. So much for imagination and over engineering at nasa. They're more worried about function over form. People want to see the mission, to be along for the ride. We paid for it. GoPro and some freaking connectivity. If you have to link via starlink than do it. Our data comms have to be way better than this if we ever want to go to Mars.

I hope so. I think coverage was better in the 60s than this has been. It's hard to be excited about Artemis and the moon looking at a blue screen all day. Publicity is/was always critical to garner public support and interest. This has been a huge failure of imagination and planning by nasa. It's embarrassing.

I am proud of the NASA team, and we will never stop elevating our game. SpaceX mission streaming is top notch. They have had a few hundred launch opportunities to dial it in. As we improve our launch cadence - I promise we will improve the streaming coverage along with it. In the interim, Artemis II is headed to the Moon.

@NASAAdmin NASA is the industry leader in many things, but I fear @SpaceX has spoiled us when it comes to the quality of launch live streaming. Time for @NASA's media production arm to level up. It's a new world! Onboard camera views and stunning tracking shots are the new normal.

You obviously have no CCR knowledge. Do some simple research about mixed has breathing loops and scrubbers. Alison look into how much oxygen in the air we breathe is actually metabolized versus what we exhale, and how our exhaled gases can be recirculation, scrubbed of co2, bleed a bit of Oxygen into the loop to make up for what the body needed for energy, then how long can those 80 cu ft aluminum tanks last fed into such a system?

@NASA Did we have better cameras for Apollo VIII than Artemis II? Why is the NASA feed in youtube of this live mission a blue screen all day?

If you were born after 19:45:58 UTC on December 19, 1972, you have not been alive during a time when a crewed lunar spaceflight was underway. This is approximately 75% of the global population. That could change as soon as Wednesday evening with the planned launch of Artemis II. Hundreds of thousands of people near Kennedy Space Center will see the launch with their own eyes and likely millions will watch live online. If you can't make it out in person, I hope you'll tune in and watch as NASA makes its first attempt to send Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen into space and around the Moon this week. It is not often you have the opportunity to witness a historic moment in real time. Please watch and soak it in, and after launch, look up at the Moon and smile knowing that our great return to the lunar environment is well underway. Godspeed, Artemis II!
