Texas A&M plans facility near NASA to prepare for moon visits..

https://tinyurl.com/2cfucckl
 

The new team, which includes Ambrose, hopes to develop an indoor rock yard at the facility where they can simulate lighting conditions on the moon. On the lunar South Pole, where NASA missions intend to land, the sun is never more than 5 degrees above the horizon. This creates a blinding light when traveling toward the sun and mile-long shadows when traveling away from the sun.

New A&M moon campus!

This enrages me.  $200mm of state money to....simulate lighting conditions.  Unreal.  The tex leg continues to blow money by sending packages like this to aggy.  Their academics aren't anywhere near where they should be for projects like this.  There isn't a single graduate of aggy that should be anywhere near something like the space program.  This is the definition of things a bunch of rednecks will never be able to do or understand.  This money should flow to universities who would be seen as adults in the room for these types of projects.  aggy should be allocated $25k to study "make seed to be plant" or some shit.

I bet there is a tweet  from this Baghdad Bob like character for every QB since his man crush Johnny Football.

Someone with solid Twitter research skills could probably confirm this. I swear I remember a similar tweet before last season or the season before it, or both?, regarding Haynes King.

Lets stop using that failure of a photoshop.  The person who made it was too lazy to even put the logo on there properly. 

 

 

 

What are you talking about?  It's the self-leveling logo hat.  It is great for looking sharp on days when you are standing sideways on a hill.

To be fair, Roger is my third favorite aggy singer.  "Gulf Coast Time" and "River Song" are on my all time favorites list.  This, though-this is horrid. 

I can't believe I did that to myself.  Made it through 37 seconds.

He’s a hometown boy and I’ve met him.  I used to like him, 25 years ago, but his voice and singing style bothers me a lot now.  It feels forced and formulaic, almost a caricature.

p.s. I never heard that stupid Aggie song.  That’s is terrible

...and all the money will be spent on an Estes rocket kit being launched from some aggy backyard.
