The last time NASA launched astronauts to the moon was almost fifty years ago. A launch this month might mark the beginning of a trip back to the planet, which is now the lone interplanetary destination for humans.
NASA Administrator Bill Nelson tweeted that a test mission using the NASA Space Launch System and NASA Orion will shortly travel farther than any spaceship designed for humans has ever done.
After a 10-hour roll from an assembly facility 4 miles away, the Artemis I moon rocket arrived this week at launchpad 39B at the Kennedy Space Center. For the 311-foot rocket ship, which will undertake an unmanned journey around the moon later this month, that perilous, sluggish ride was just the beginning. As soon as August 29, expect to launch.
Establishing a crewed base camp in lunar orbit and bringing people back to the moon are the long-term objectives of the Artemis project.
A location abandoned since December 1972 will see the project’s study resume there. NASA ultimately intends to colonize a celestial body (other than Earth) by sending a rover, mobile house, and modern lunar dwelling there.
The journey to Mars is NASA’s ultimate long-distance objective, and all of this is merely the first significant step in that direction.
Notably, as part of the CHIPS Act, which was passed in July, NASA was given permission to maintain its authorization of the Artemis program and the International Space Station’s operations.
IRS Funding Cut
“Let’s Get to Work,” was Rick Scott’s unwavering motto while serving as governor of Florida. He repeated the phrase “jobs, jobs, jobs” frequently.
There are positions he does not want to fill, though, as a US Senator.
The Naples Republican and other party members attacked a provision of the Inflation Reduction Act to employ 87,000 more IRS agents in an open letter released on LinkedIn discouraging job seekers from applying for positions offered by the Internal Revenue Service.
Several jobs at once? Rick Scott removes the assistant wanted poster.
If Republicans take control of Congress in November, Scott warned that layoffs are to be expected.
“These new jobs at the IRS won’t provide you with the long-term employment security you may anticipate from a job with the federal government.
In other words, this will just be a temporary position, Scott stated. “When Republicans gain control of the House and Senate in January, I can assure you that we will act right away to stop funding this outrageous and illegitimate intrusion of government into the lives of Americans.”
The task might not be as tranquil as some applicants might anticipate, he added. He reminds everyone that the occupations in question don’t include the kind of desk work one might anticipate from a bureaucracy that collects taxes.
According to the IRS, one of the new roles’ “primary duties” is to “be willing to use deadly force,” Scott wrote.
“This is the federal agency tasked with collecting taxes; we’re not talking about joining your neighbourhood police force or even the American military.
The IRS is making it quite obvious that you must not only be prepared to audit and probe your fellow law-abiding citizens, neighbours, and friends, but also to be prepared and, in the IRS’s words, “willing to kill” them.
Added Protection
A grant from the Department of Homeland Security for roughly $62 million has been announced for the Sunshine State by Rep. Val Demings, a Senate candidate.
This includes more than $22 million for a state-wide Urban Security Initiative, with $3.8 million designated for Orlando.
Demings is in charge of FEMA, the organization that administers the grants, as the chair of the House Homeland Security Subcommittee on Emergency Preparedness, Response, and Recovery.
Val Demings brings in the big bucks. The Orlando Democrat declared, “My first goal is the safety and security of every American.” Synagogues, community centres, and first responders in Florida depend on my bill to support the Urban Area Security Initiative and Nonprofit Security Grant Program, which will also help maintain steady funding levels for anti-terrorist initiatives.
More than $9.3 million will go toward grants for law enforcement to combat domestic terrorism and cybercrime, almost $12 million will go toward port security, including about $2 million for Port Canaveral, and nearly $13 million will go toward the protection of community centres and houses of worship.
The program has been one of Demings’ top priorities since she joined Congress because she was a former law enforcement officer who had used UASI funds.
“I am proud of the work we have done to restore Orlando to the list and make sure that our first responders have what they need to do their jobs,” Demings said.
“Throughout my career in Congress, I have constantly argued for more money to be allocated to this vital program. We must keep funding their security since there are persistent threats and acts of violence against religious communities.
Destination Port
Sen. Marco Rubio travelled to Jacksonville for a low-key stop at JAXPORT and a business roundtable with Northeast Florida’s top logistics and transportation executives.
The Miami Republican claimed that JAXPORT was the only port facility in America that was “better positioned for the direction the 21st century is going.” “The economic impact on the state and Northeast Florida of that is amazing.” It’s encouraging to see that today.

Officials from JAXPORT commended Rubio for his support and highlighted the continuous volume of trade at the Port.
The 50-cent tour goes to Marco Rubio.
According to JAXPORT CEO Eric Green, the private enterprises represented today and the cargo movement via our port “support 138,000 Florida employment and more than $31 billion in yearly economic production.”
Tote Maritime Puerto Rico, Crowley, and Trailer Bridge, three of the Port’s tenants that conduct business in Puerto Rico, sent representatives to discuss the significance of such trade. JAXPORT oversees more than 90% of the activity coming from Puerto Rico to the United States mainland.
A new 18-year contract agreement between Trailer Bridge and JAXPORT was been reached.
