- Witness the moment the hatch opened on the NASA SpaceX Crew Dragon returning NASA astronauts Nick Hague, Suni Williams, and Butch Wilmore, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Aleksandr Gorbun back to Earth.
The unexpected nine-month tenure of NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams in space at the International Space Station was the result of mishaps with Boeing's Starliner, the second of two privately-owned space vehicles intended to bring NASA astronauts to and from space. So months after their test vehicle failed safety checks, Elon Musk's SpaceX Dragon flew the two home in what was regarded as a "rescue" mission for "stranded" astronauts but was really the previously-scheduled return flight of a Crew 9, the mission in which Wilmore and Williams were reassigned.

If you believe a letter circulating social media, it seems some of those terminated employees may have been told to return to work. If history repeats itself, similar federal spending cuts in other government agencies followed a similar pattern since the administration; with some critical employees being told to return back to work.
How many were fired? How many retired? How many returned? It's unclear. But we are starting to get a better understanding into the changes, including the lose of critical upper air observations known as balloon launches. The cancellation of some balloon launches in at least three states.

This results in dirty and grim counting the ground, cars and other items outdoors. While this typically happens in the Central Plains of the United States such as Oklahoma and Texas, strong winds can carry that dirt as far away as the Carolinas.

- Description
- Explore the critical issues facing the National Weather Service and NOAA as Elon Musk, Doge and President Donald Trump's presidential administration looks to make cuts in the U.S. Department of Commerce. The administration is eyeing lease terminations, firings, layoffs and the cutback of critical infrastructure. These federal cuts will have economic impact when the stability of centralized weather data is threatened. Plus the staffing toll on the remaining meteorologists, who are left to cover the nation's severe weather 24/7/365 on an already understaffed workforce. Understand how NOAA and the National Weather Service make available all the weather data (radar, satellites, current temperatures, forecasts., etc), you see whether you're watching tv, using an app or ask your smart phone.
