Government Alien/Human Hybrid Breeding Program EXPOSED?!
It was an emotional moment of pride for many that we're finally sending astronauts to the moon.
The launch of Artemis II yesterday was spectacular. It would have been more spectacular had the camera work of the launch were better. (Compare the launch video below with the one of Apollo 17 I posted yesterday. The camera tracked Apollo 17's Saturn V rocket much better.)
Still, it is great to see the launch. I noticed that political pundits like Glenn Beck and Benny Johnson were covering the launch.
Here's a video of yesterday's launch:
If everything goes as planned today, the flight of Artemis II will mark the first time in 50 years since man traveled to the vicinity of the moon.
The last time was in December 1972 when Apollo 17 was sent to the moon. It was the last moon mission of the Apollo program. I remember the flight as I was at the "ripe old age" of 18 at the time.
Here's the launch of Apollo 11.
Summary:
On this edition we remember the anniversary of the flight of Apollo 17 astronauts Gene Cernan, Harrison Jack Schmitt & Ronald Evans.
In the early morning hours of December 7, 1972 the Apollo 17 crew lifted off from the Kennedy Space Center aboard a Saturn V rocket becoming the last astronauts to attempt a lunar landing and bringing a close to the the Apollo program. Cernan & Schmitt took their Lunar Module called Challenger to a landing in the Taurus-Littrow region of the Moon. The Apollo 17 crew returned to Earth from the Moon on December 19, 1972.

Around three years ago, I had a strongbox my late dad left opened by a locksmith in Gallup. I had the strongbox in my closet for years, but had no key to open it up to see what was inside.
Inside, were around 20 1964 Kennedy Half Dollars along with several Franklin Half Dollars and $2.00 bills among other items.
With silver's spot price around $70/troy ounce currently, this find is a lot more valuable. During the time of the strongbox opening, the spot price was around $24.00/troy ounce. The Kennedy Half Dollars were in uncirculated or near-uncirculated condition.
1964 Kennedy Half Dollars had 90% silver content. After 1964, the silver content was reduced to 40% until about 1970.
Here's a couple of interesting videos on the 1964 Kennedy Half Dollar:

President Donald Trump was in Memphis, Tennessee yesterday to attend a forum on the crime safe task force accomplishments. Following this, he made a surprise visit to Elvis Presley's Graceland mansion.
He signed a guitar in the Jungle Room (known during Presley's time as the den).
He is the second sitting U.S. President to visit Graceland.
According to Google:

The stuff that now passes as "music", particularly rock 'n roll, leaves me cold. So, to start off the week, here's a video of a classic rock artist.
This week's spotlight is on a song that I haven't heard in ages, probably not since the early 1970s when it came out: "Softly Whispering I Love You" by The Congregation (known here as The English Congregation). I happened to stumble on it on YouTube.
Interestingly, although I hadn't heard it in ages, the familiarity hadn't diminished. I was in my senior year in high school when this song came out in December 1971.
From Wikipedia:
The Congregation was a British pop ensemble, formed by Roger Cook and Roger Greenaway in England. In the United States it was credited as The English Congregation.
The band's biggest hit was a cover version of "Softly Whispering I Love You" (originally recorded by Cook and Greenaway's previous group, David and Jonathan), which peaked at No. 4 on the UK Singles Chart in 1971, No. 29 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the US, No. 1 in South Africa, No. 12 in Australia and New Zealand and No. 10 in Germany. The group's lead singer was the former Plastic Penny vocalist, Brian Keith, who later became a session musician. With no further top 40 hits, The Congregation was a transatlantic one-hit wonder.
The band changed its name on releases in the United States to avoid confusion with the Mike Curb Congregation, which also recorded "Softly Whispering I Love You".
The following three videos are of The Congregation's version. The first is with lyrics. The second is their appearance on Top of The Pops with the song dubbed in. The third is the same as the second, only with the original sound.
