I'm almost more creeped out by Joe's meat hook gripping that poor girl's hand. He has total control of her. Disgusting.

In the event that your user name has deeper meaning, did you see OSIRIS-REx was at target today and may have gotten a sample?

Yes, I did see that. And yes I am an astrophysicist. I don't do planetary astro stuff, but I pay attention. Very cool moment today! I study black holes, gravitational waves, gamma-ray bursts, X-ray binaries, etc.

IS IT TRUE THAT JOE BIDEN SNIFFED THE ASTEROID?

Can confirm. 101955 Bennu is only as old as the solar system, so it's just a teenager compared to the age of the universe.

So he definitely sniffed it.

I did some onboard software for Lucy, so it caught my eye today since I've been in mission control at LMCO. Your field sounds fascinating. Life is so short. Wish I could learn about everything.

Oh, neat! Thank you for the cool response. I was unfamiliar with the Lucy mission before your comment, so thanks!

My field is great fun, but academia is a Marxist sewer so I am unsure whether or not I would like to stay. I've known since I was 10 years old that I wanted to be an astrophysicist, so I don't feel like I should quit just because 90% of the people in the field are crazy.

For now, I will never give up and never surrender! I've thought about joining the Air Force or Space Force.

We have the best based astrophysicists, believe me. Some say, the very based!
