So makes sense to me to use the Moon, because it's only about 250,000 miles away from Earth compared to planet Mars which has a distance from Earth that varies from 34 and 64 million miles, according to Wikipedia.
A hell of lot less resources to bounce stuff on the surface of the Moon for testing before Beyond-Artemis astronauts (Athena, perhaps)

I think it was my first thought after waking up this morning that I used to date Julia Roberts a long time ago.
I also have these unexplained thoughts that I was a fighter pilot in the U.S. military, although I'm not sure which service, but I may have been in two different branches over time. I am also confused about thoughts that I may have been a helicopter pilot. What's next? A space shuttle pilot? Seems like a lot for someone that is only 40. And, while I am not sure when this divergence happened, I am reasonably certain it was before I turned 33. So I must have been a pretty busy guy. Especially because I have thoughts that I was some kind of mathmetician too. I have these thoughts too that I was captured by enemy forces at some point and tortured while in captivity.

WILLIAM J. CLINTON
42nd President of the United States: 1993 - 2001
Statement on the Space Station Program
June 17, 1993
At a time when our long-term economic strength depends on our technological leadership and our ability to reduce the deficit, we must invest in technology but invest wisely, making the best possible use of every dollar. That's why I asked for a review of NASA's space station program. Concerns over rising costs and mismanagement raised serious questions about a program vital to our technological leadership. I instructed NASA to redesign the space station program in a way that would preserve its critical science and space research and ensure international cooperation, but significantly reduce costs and improve management.
NASA has met that challenge, offering a plan that will substantially reduce costs to taxpayers, improve management, preserve research, and allow the United States to continue to work with its international partners and keep its international commitments. That was the conclusion of an outstanding panel of independent experts who carefully reviewed NASA's proposals. And that is my conclusion as well, after thoroughly considering their report and recommendations. It will take not just a redesign of the space station but a redesign of NASA itself.
I am calling for the U.S. to work with our international partners to develop a reduced-cost, scaled-down version of the original Space Station Freedom. At the same time, I will also seek to enhance and expand the opportunities for international participation in the space station project so that the space station can serve as a model of nations coming together in peaceful cooperation. Finally, I will be directing NASA to implement personnel reductions and major management changes to cut costs, reduce bureaucracy, and improve efficiency. The national performance review team, led by Vice President Gore, has been essential in working with NASA to develop these management proposals. We are going to redesign NASA at the same time that we redesign the space station.
To make maximum use of our investments and meet the scientific goals we have set, the specific design we will pursue will be a simplified version of Space Station Freedom recommended by the review panel. We will work with Congress, NASA, and our international partners during the next 90 days to make the very best use of this design. The details of this proposal will be delivered to Congress within the next few days. I have asked Dr. John Gibbons, my Science and Technology Adviser, to transmit a letter to NASA with more detailed instructions for implementing this decision.
The redesigned program will capitalize on the investments we have already made. However, with its deep cuts in future development and operations costs, this redesigned program will save more than $4 billion over the next 5 years, compared with our assessments of what the real costs of funding the planned Space Station Freedom would have been. Over the 2-decade life of the program, these savings will grow to more than $18 billion.
There is no doubt that we are facing difficult budget decisions. However, we cannot retreat from our obligation to invest in our future. Budget cuts alone will not restore our vitality. I believe strongly that NASA and the space station program represent important investments in that future and that these investments will yield benefits in medical research, aerospace, and other critical technology areas. As well, the space station is a model of peaceful international cooperation, offering a vision of the new world in which confrontation has been replaced with cooperation.
In making this announcement today, I want to recognize the extraordinary efforts of all those involved. Vice President Gore and Dr. Gibbons assembled an outstanding team of experts, led by Dr. Charles Vest, president of MIT, who assessed several cost-saving options prepared by NASA. This review included not only the design of the space station but also the structure and management of NASA itself. Their work and the work of all those at NASA involved in this project has been invaluable.

Hong Kong
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hong Kong, officially the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China (HKSAR), is a special administrative region on the eastern side of the Pearl River estuary in southern China. With over 7.4 million people of various nationalities in a 1,104-square-kilometre (426 sq mi) territory, Hong Kong is one of the most densely populated places in the world.
Hong Kong became a colony of the British Empire after Qing China ceded Hong Kong Island at the end of the First Opium War in 1842. The colony expanded to the Kowloon Peninsula in 1860 after the Second Opium War, and was further extended when Britain obtained a 99-year lease of the New Territories in 1898. The territory was transferred to China in 1997. As a special administrative region, Hong Kong maintains separate governing and economic systems from that of mainland China under the principle of "one country, two systems".
History
In June 2019, large protests again erupted in response to a proposed extradition amendment bill permitting extradition of fugitives to mainland China. The protests have continued into October, becoming the largest-scale protest movement in Chinese history, with several street marches known to have attracted more than 1.5 million Hong Kong residents each time.

Thomas Jefferson's historic document was approved on 4 July 1776. It was based in a philosophy of individual liberty. It listed the complaints against the king and the reasons why the colonists were breaking their ties with Britain. The Olive Branch Petition had praised the king; the Declaration now called him a tyrant.

THE FREE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF WASHINGTON STATE HISTORY
West, Jim (1951-2006)
A Powerful State Senator
West wielded more power than any state senator except the majority leader, according to a 1998 newspaper profile.
Campaigning and More Campaigning
Yet soon West set his sights on a different office, one that he later called his lifelong goal: mayor of Spokane. On May 11, 2000, West announced his candidacy for mayor, under the city's new "strong mayor" form of government. It was a full-time position and it paid more than state Senate. He ran in the primary against incumbent mayor John Talbott and lawyer and political newcomer John Powers. All three candidates slugged it out in heated debates throughout the summer. A poll a few weeks before the September 2000 primary showed all three candidates bunched closely together. One political observer noted, "You've got three big-time serious candidates. Anybody can win" ("Talbott, West, Lead in Poll"). West ended up drawing the short straw -- he finished third with 26 percent of the vote, and was knocked out of the general election. Observers noted that his campaign had seemed "oddly lackluster" (Staley). Powers would go on to win the general election over incumbent Talbott, and West would return to the state Senate.
In November 2002, West found himself locked in another tight race, this time to retain his Senate seat. His opponent was Democrat Laurie Dolan, a school district administrator. It was the most expensive Senate campaign in state history at that time, partly because both parties knew it could decide control of the Senate. West raised more than $243,000 and Dolan raised more than $195,000. The two candidates traded barbs constantly. One campaign ad accused West of planning to run for Spokane mayor again in 2003. West responded, "I thought my opponent was going to play fair, but now her surrogates are attacking me," and said he had no plans to run for mayor in 2003 (Cannata). On November 5, 2002, West won a squeaker of a race by the final margin of 24,015 to 22,708.
