Utah didn’t ban youth hormone therapy such as testosterone boosters for cis boys. It didn’t ban “gender affirming surgery” such as breast augmentation for cis girls.

Just for trans kids.

You know, in case you’re wondering if lawmakers are really out to “protect the children” like they claim.

Give me a break.

FWIW I still hope Elon succeeds with Twitter. Why wish failure on anyone? But for me, not letting people post links to their other accounts was just too much.

For today's reentry, Orion will use a “skip entry” technique, which has never been tried before with a human-rated spacecraft.
Orion will dip into the upper part of Earth’s atmosphere at 40,000 km/s, partially slow down, skip back out of the atmosphere, then reenter for final descent using parachutes.
Advantages:
Improved landing accuracy.
Lower g-forces on astronauts.
Lower heat rate.
