On Sunday, May 21, 2023, a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched from the US, headed to the ISS. This mission is unique as two of its four crew members are Saudi Arabian. One of those two is biomedical researcher, Rayyanah Barnawi, the very first Arab woman in space. (Ali AlQarni is the male Saudi. The team also included Peggy Whitson, a former NASA astronaut who is on her her fourth flight to the ISS, and John Shoffner, a businessman from Tennessee who is serving as pilot.)
The mission, known as the AX-2, is conducted by Axiom Space and is part of the Saudi Human Spaceflight Program, a joint initiative between the Saudi Space Commission and Axiom Space aimed at training and supporting Saudi astronauts.
Kudos to you, sister!
Thank you for reading today's post. Have an InterStellar Day! ~PrP

A typhoon watch and small craft advisory is in effect for Guam and the CNMI, as Tropical Storm Mawar continues to strengthen and slowly track towards the Marianas
As of 7 pm, the storm was located 460 miles south-southeast of Guam, and 530 miles south-southeast of Saipan. It is moving north-northwest at 10 mph with maximum sustained winds of 70 mph.
==============================
Do something about this. You know who is on this island.
==============================
We did not cause it, but we can move it in a way that is plausible. Who is on the island?
Send it towards the Philippines now.
JOKE:
A drunk stumbles onto a baptismal service on Sunday afternoon down by the river. He proceeds to walk down into the water and stand next to the Preacher.
The minister turns and notices the old drunk and says, “Mister, Are you ready to find Jesus?”
The drunk looks back and says, “Yes, Preacher… I sure am.”
The
minister then dunks the fellow under the water and pulls him right back up. “Have you found Jesus?” the preacher asked.
“No, I didn’t!” said the drunk.
The preacher then dunks him under for quite a bit longer, brings him up and says, “Now, brother, have you found Jesus?”
“No, I did not Reverend.”
The preacher in disgust holds the man under for at least 30 seconds this time, brings him out of the water and says in a harsh tone, “My Good man,have you found Jesus yet?”
The old drunk wipes his eyes and asks the preacher…
“Are you sure this is where he fell in?”
Joke:
Elizabeth II was to give a speech at the U.N. She had last been in N.Y. back in the Fifties. 👑
Elizabeth II was to give a speech at the U.N. She had last been in N.Y. back in the Fifties.
The limo’s chauffeur picked her up a little early and she wanted to see if any of the things she had seen in the Fifties were still around.
After the impromptu tour, The Queen said to the chauffeur “You know, driver. I’ve ridden in the back of many limousines, but I’ve never driven one.”
“Well, Your Majesty,” the chauffeur responded, “I’ve driven them, but I never rode in the back.”
The two of them switched.
The Queen was so excited she didn’t notice that she drove through a stoplight.
A police officer pulls the limo over and, when he sees who’s behind the wheel, gets on the radio with his sergeant.
“Sarge, I have a really big problem here.”
“What is it?”
“I had to pull over some big shots and didn’t know what to do.”
“Who is it? An alderman?”
“No, someone bigger.”
“The mayor?”
“Even bigger.”
“The governor?”
“Bigger.”
“A senator or representative?”
“Bigger.”
“The Vice-President?”
“Bigger.”
“Someone from the First Family?”
“Bigger.”
“The President?!”
“Bigger.”
“Bigger than The President?!” The sergeant asked, “Who could be bigger than The President?!”
“I don’t know who this guy is, Sarge, but he’s got The Queen of England as a chauffeur!”
Anger versus Exasperation 📞📲🔈
A young girl who was writing a paper for school came to her father and asked, “Dad, what is the difference between anger and exasperation?”
The father replied, “It is mostly a matter of degree. Let me show you what I mean.”
With that, the father went to the telephone and dialed a number at random. To the man who answered the phone, he said, “Hello, is Melvin there?”
The man answered, “There is no one living here named Melvin. Why don’t you learn to look up numbers before you dial”.
“See,” said the father to his daughter. “That man was not a bit happy with our call. He was probably very busy with something and we annoyed him. Now watch….”
The father dialed the number again. “Hello, is Melvin there?” asked the father.
“Now look here!” came the heated reply. “You just called this number and I told you that there is no Melvin here! You’ve got a lot of guts calling again!” The receiver slammed down hard.
The father turned to his daughter and said, “You see, that was anger. Now I’ll show you what exasperation means.”
He dialed the same number, and when a violent voice roared, “Hello!”
The father calmly said,
“Hello, this is Melvin. Have there been any calls for me?”
The Orange Baby found out today that March 25, 2024 is the date set for the Stormy Daniels hush money trial. He will have to be in court during the Repugnants’ presidential primaries. 🙂
He is calling it election interference. I call it karma. My fingers are crossed that the Judge will deny any attempts for a continuance.
Chinese hackers have struck ‘critical’ US infrastructure, Microsoft revealed today in a campaign that targeted Guam sparking fears that Beijing is preparing to black out communications on the strategic base for an assault on Taiwan.
Thank You for visiting Me last night. It’s been a long time since You’ve Shown Up in My Dreams. It would have been awesome to have spent more private time with You but as usual a Crowd Came With. Still I woke up with the Glow today. Love You so much Now and Forever!
Sometimes I wish I could just “like” a comment, when it brings a smile to my face.
You can now 🙂
