NASA leaders, including Administrator Jim Bridenstine, will host a media teleconference today, Monday, May 13 to discuss how a new budget amendment for the fiscal year 2020 proposal will help NASA’s plan to land astronauts on the Moon by 2024.
The media teleconference at 7 p.m. EDT will discuss details of the budget amendment. To participate, media must contact Katherine Brown at katherine.m.brown@nasa.gov no later than 6:45 p.m. today.
Audio and visuals from the teleconference will stream live at:
Administrator Bridenstine also will host an employee town hall at 12:30 p.m., Tuesday, May 14 live from NASA Headquarters in Washington. The meeting will be carried on NASA Television and the agency’s website.
NASA is sending astronauts to the Moon and then on to Mars, in a measured, sustainable way. The direction from Space Policy Directive-1 builds on the hard work NASA is doing on its Space Launch System rocket and Orion spacecraft, agency efforts to enable commercial partners, its work with international partners at the International Space Station in low-Earth orbit, and what NASA learns from its current robotic missions at the Moon and Mars.

I really want to be excited, and it's absolutely a good thing in general. I really wish BO or SpaceX would just kill off SLS though. They've already blown through $15 billion on it, and it's hard to envision another $1.6 making a huge difference in getting there cost effectively. [Reply]
I seen an article about the new 5G being dangerous to humans, due to electromagnetic radio frequency, or something like that. Do you guys know anything else about that? I’m at the doctor right now and don’t have a ton of time to start reading. So I figured I would ask since I saw this thread on the front page [Reply]

No, 5G hasn't been shown to be any kind of danger.
There was actually a push by a news company called RT in Russia to put out misinformation regarding 5G tech, which is likely the origin of whatever you heard.

The top end range of 5G is 86 Ghz
By comparison, ionizing radiation (x-rays, gamma rays) begins in the petahertz range, literally 1,000,000 times shorter wavelength. [Reply]
Thanks guys, I figured it was probably bullshit. I thought it was most likely bullshit, but was curious where the information was coming from. Seeing that it was likely coming from a Russian news company explains a lot about it. Thanks again guys, I will do some more reading about it [Reply]

I was going to say, a person can get free medical advise on here might as well save your coin on that. Unfortunately you can't get prescription drugs, however there are natural remedies abound. [Reply]

If you say "I seen", then you have other problems to worry about than getting sick from a phone. I hate when people say that and "we was." [Reply]
You sound like the old woman on Facebook that bitched at me for saying that instead of I have seen or I saw
Next time I write a post on Facebook or CP, I will make sure I get it pre approved from her and you. I didn’t know we were being graded on it, and how high of a problem that rates in life. [Reply]
