Amusing document which wasn't quoted in detail until today.  Bezos is not actually trying to win the HLS contract.  He's trying to terminate the artemis program.  If he can't win, no-one can.  Every moon program has gotten shut down for 50 years & the latest one was started by a wildly unpopular president in 2017, so Bezos has an over 50% chance of terminating the entire program.

"all of this once-in-a-generation momentum, can easily be undone by one party—in this case, Blue Origin—who seeks to prioritize its own fortunes over that of NASA, the United States, and every person alive today who dreams to see humans exploring worlds beyond our own. Plainly stated, a protest sustain in the instant dispute runs the high risk of creating not just delays for the Artemis program, but that it will never actually achieve its goal of returning the United States to the Moon. What begins as a mere procurement delay all too easily turns into a lack of political support"

The embargoed footage from orbit has finally been released to those can pay.  The rest of us slackers get to wait for the free version in a few days.  It was less obvious with commercial flights of the past, since a paying customer on a government Soyuz wasn't very revolutionary, but a mission as big as inspiration 4 being shown only to paying netflix subscribers is a big statement. Dear moon is going to be the same way. It doesn't matter if it's a moon landing or if it's the 1st human on Mars, commercial spaceflight is only going to be shown to those who can pay.

The ramsey millionaire study was done 5 years ago, but it's the foundation of 5 years of talk shows.  What lions found most fascinating was doctors not making the top 5 careers but engineers being listed instead.  Lawyers, teachers,  & management are no brainers.  Accountants are unsung financial winners, since there are classmates & rich gootubers married to accountants.  Tenured college professors & public school teachers as part of labor unions are famously well compensated.

In the economic collapses of 1991 & 2000, engineering was absolutely the worst career.  The lion kingdom's generation believed doctors were the only ones who were going to get out alive & the engineers were on a sinking ship.  There have been anecdotes since then that doctors peaked in the 1950's, but haven't kept up with other careers.  There might also be a wide spread between the richest & poorest doctors.

In 2017, the average age of reaching 1 million was lion kingdom age.  The last 5 years have made million only the top 50%, manely from home equity inflation.  

The story of middle aged lions is heartburn.  It started in June 2021 & has increased since.  It's believed to be caused by the change in tap water from Mokelumne watershed to Sacramento river water.

Before June 2021, lions never got heartburn, then for a few months they got heartburn but could still run, then they finally had to take antacids to run at all.   The amount of heartburn varies depending on the amount of vitamin C & still rarely occurs when not running.  If lions never ran, they'd never know there was a heartburn condition.

Tap water varies between 6.5 & 7.5 in PH.
