Happy birthday to the one and only John Insprucker!

Two were allocated to USSF-51 and ViaSat-3 EMEA: Immortal, wisest, and fairest of all payloads,
Seven for the Starliners, greatly delayed clusterf*cks of the Boeing halls,
And eight... eight launches remain for Project Kuiper, (Jeff) Who above all else, desires power.
For within these rockets was bound the thrust and delta-v to govern each orbit.
But they were all of them deceived. For another rocket was made...

To my fellow lemmonades,
As your not-so-humble moderator of [email protected] , I ask you to help save the New Horizons project which is threatened with shit-canning from NASA.
New Horizons is the probe that flew by Pluto a few years ago, that took the famous picture of Pluto's heart. It's also the only probe we have out there by Pluto and the Kuiper Belt, and the only one slated to be sent out for 20-30 years. For us millennials, we'll be in our 60's or 70's by the time they choose to send another if they're allowed to shut down New Horizons. Meaning we might never get to see new Pluto pics again.
Pluto's heart cries out for your love. For New Horizons's love.
Our cell phones the world over cry out for new Kuiper Belt wallpapers.
Our hearts cry out for more space content!!
Please sign the petition to save our probe so we can keep getting sweet, sweet Pluto and Kuiper Belt object pics.
Thank you for your time.
P.S. Pluto is still a planet; I don't give a flying fuck what NGT says
P.P.S. Here are some news articles talking about it. I might have already linked one but here it is again just in case:

"Try very hard to delete the host or process. If you're not adding back webcast hosts at least 10% of the time, you're not deleting enough."
The most recent Starlink Group 7-1 webcast had no host. Just views of the rocket and call-outs from mission control. It will be interesting to see if they continue this “no host” format for future Starlink missions.

I couldn't find an English stream, but this one has English telemetry: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrBHzazdZP8
The previous Luna 24 mission was in 1976:

CRS NG-19 lifts off from Wallops Flight Facility, Virginia. This was the final flight of Northrop Grumman's Antares 230+ rocket. The next three Cygnus resupply missions will be on Falcon 9, as the Antares 330 won't be ready until June 2025.

"The increasing number of graham crackers and chocolate bars in orbit has created a growing risk of Kessler s'mores."
Sure looks like a Dragon2 eh...
