ORLANDO, FL — NASA officials were forced to postpone the eagerly anticipated Artemis launch after discovering a female astronaut had failed to refuel the rocket following its last mission.
"We had everything prepared and made sure the rocket was fully equipped for its trip to orbit the moon, but we were left scrambling for solutions when we realized the fuel tank was left nearly empty," NASA engineer Blake Rumsey said in a prepared statement announcing the delay. "We've lost count of how many times we've reminded her to make sure the rocket is gassed up after using it."
Katie Schmidt, the astronaut responsible for refueling the rocket after its last mission, maintained that she was certain there was enough fuel left after parking the rocket last time. "I could have sworn I made sure it was full," Schmidt told reporters assembled at the Kennedy Space Center when asked about the discrepancy. "And this isn't that big of a deal, right? I mean, it's totally different from that time I spilled my latte on the controls and caused, like, a million dollars in damage."
At publishing time, NASA engineers were working to nail down a new date for the launch of the moon-orbiting Artemis mission and using the extra time provided by the delay to give their female astronaut additional training. "It's an ongoing struggle," Rumsey said. "We're still not sure how she managed to actually back the simulator into the wall while she was putting on her makeup. I mean, it's stationary. How is that even possible? Anyway…diversity, right?"
Put this here, rather than the politics thread, because this is not a political statement, but rather an informative and humorous presentation on President Biden's cycling accident:

Meh this makes it slightly better that it's not a normal pedal, it's the caged one.

He made a classic mistake of transferring weight thinking that his foot would hold him without making sure his foot was free. My dad did the same thing the first time with clip-ons. He got better. He now bikes from Cherry Hill to Atlantic City every year (the 175 mile one) for MS (totally for him, he loves it). https://mssociety.donordrive.com/ind...29&eventID=997

Hey guys this is Barry. Yeah, put him on a bike for the photo op. I know he's old but this will make him look young! Trust me. Oh, and be sure to use those bear trap foot stirrups because he's really fond of those..."
