Did you know that the famed Hubble Space Telescope (HST) is going to be replaced? Well, not “replaced” exactly, since it will probably remain functioning in low Earth orbit for many more years.

May 10, 2020

Have you seen the “Plandemic” video? I haven’t, yet, but I kept seeing posts about it on Facebook and was wondering if it was worth my time.
