After being scrubbed and re-scheduled from this past March, the first all-female spacewalk took place the morning of Oct. 18, 2019. NASA astronauts Christina Koch and Jessica Meir successfully installed a 232-pound replacement for a faulty battery charge/discharge unit (BCDU) in the lab’s solar power system. It may not sound all that difficult, but it […]
In honor of this month marking the 10-year anniversary of the “A View from the Right” blog, I have decided to don my “psychic’s” hat and proclaim 10 predictions that will come true in the near future.

This week, we come to my final post citing information from Dr. Hugh Ross’s book, A Matter of Days: Resolving a Creation Controversy, 2nd ed. (2015). I hope you have enjoyed the series.
