Cardinal comes from the Latin Cardinalis-pertaining to a hinge; applied to that on which something turns or depends.

The number 12 is related to the cardinal as there are 12 eggs in a cardinals nest.

It symbolizes passionate romance and fierce leadership.

A cardinal rule is one of great importance; crucial and pivotal.

A cardinal number is a natural number as in zero, one, two, or three, etc.

Ina nautical sense, there are 4 cardinal directions, north, south, east, and west.

The cardinal does not migrate in the winter, it stands its ground.

Birds are free creatures. They’re messengers from heaven. If a cardinal appears to you and wakes you up out of your slumber it could be a message; a symbol. You’re at a crucial point in your life. Stand tall and weather the storm. Be on the lookout for passion and romance. Be natural and act with precision. Be a leader. I am free; free to choose, free to live, and free to be.

The Artemis Plan

What’s up everyone?

The Artemis Plan is NASA’s Lunar Exploration Program Overview, and it was written in September, 2020. The document itself is 74 pages. I wanted to read through the whole thing, but I was so busy today, and I ended up skimming through it.

That’s okay though. Here are some highlights.

  • Suppliers and small businesses across America have made contributions to ensure the success of The Artemis Program
  • You might not be aware, but for the last 20 years, humans have continuously lived and worked aboard the International Space Station 250 miles above Earth, preparing for the day we move farther into the solar system.
  • Humans will travel 250,000 miles to the Moon
  • It is 140 million miles to Mars from the Moon
  • The main goal here is for us to get to Mars. First the Moon, and then to Mars.
  • 2024 is not an arbitrary date. It is the most ambitious date possible, and our success at the Moon, and later, at Mars, will be grounded in our national goals and robust capabilities.
  • The sooner we get to the Moon, the sooner we get American astronauts to Mars.

7 Steps between 2021 and 2024

  • 2021- the first Commercial Lunar Payload Services delivery (CLPS); 16 instruments will be sent to the lunar service, which will pave the way for human explorers.
  • Viper; Golf- Cart-Sized rover will be the first to investigate lunar polar soil samples
  • CAPSTONE CubeSat; small satellite will be the first spacecraft to enter the lunar Near Rectilinear Halo Orbit-the future home of the Gateway
  • Artemis 1; un-crewed maiden flight
  • PPE & HALO Launch; Power and Propulsion Element (PPE) & Habitation And Logistics Outpost (HALO) makeup the first pieces of the Gateway. NASA and the European Space Agency will conduct early characterization of the deep space environment.
  • Artemis 2; 10-day crewed test flight. NASA astronauts will set the record for the farthest human travel from Earth. Validation of deep space communication and navigation systems.
  • 2024- Artemis 3; Orion and its crew will once again travel to the Moon boarding the Human Landing System (HLS) that will bring the first woman and next man to the lunar surface.

As you can imagine, there’s a ton of information in this document, but that’s pretty much how it’s going down over the next four years. It’s going to be awesome to see all this play out.

Alright people, have a wonderful night.

Ground Control to Major Tom; We’re Going to the Moon

I am beyond stoked to share this information. According to NASA’s Artemis Plan, NASA will land two humans, one man and one woman on the Moon by 2024. Their mission is to continue exploring the lunar surface, establish sustainable exploration by the end of the decade, and use whatever information they gather for a future trip to Mars.

Can you imagine if their primary objective is to have children on the Moon? What if they’re sending a man and a woman there to start a whole new race? I digress, but shit man, who knows.

Any who, on July 20th of this year it will be exactly 52 years since the United States’ Apollo 11 landed on the Moon. The significance of this event back in 1969 was that Apollo 11 was the first crewed mission. That’s right! The United States is the only country to successfully put humans on the Moon. Between 1969 and 1972 there were six crewed missions to the Moon.

It will amazing to say there was a Moon landing during our lifetime, and for those who were around for the first, you’ll be doubly excited. I’m going to read through The Artemis Plan in its entirety, and I’ll get back to you with all the juicy details.

Traveling The Universe; Is it Possible?

Did you ever consider space travel? The idea of interstellar space traveling doesn’t seem so outrageous or impossible when you’re watching shows or movies where people are doing it.

Like you hop into your car and drive to the food store, you could hop into a mini-craft, and fly into the atmosphere of another planet-right?

The thought crossed my mind recently that maybe traveling throughout the universe is possible, but it’s being kept from us because of a lack of control.

Maybe, until we’re able to be tracked and monitored, that door will stay closed.

Senator Chris Murphy’s Op-Ed Piece Has Some of Us Curious

I would love to know why government officials (Senator Chris Murphy) are so angry and upset that college sports were played during 2020?

Why does it bother you so much-it’s like you’ve taken it personally and made it your mission to come down on and find a reason to reprimand NCAA sports because COVID-19 didn’t bring the college football and basketball seasons to a complete halt. Why?

You’re angry! Why?

(You’ll probably say because you don’t want people getting sick, and you’ll completely ignore your overreach from governing to parenting.)

Has the COVID-19 Power Trip gone so far to your heads that you think you can use it to shutdown anything you want?

And if not you take it personally? Like a personal challenge?


There are bigger issues here; like it’s against the law to force medical care on an American citizens, by law, it’s illegal to force someone to take a vaccine, and still it has been said that if you don’t vaccinate, you might not be able to fly and there could be other travel restrictions enforced. Isn’t that called extortion?

Nooz Now

How you doin’?

Abraham Lincoln was the 16th President of the United States. He was an Aquarius born on the 12th day of February in 1809. Lincoln was assassinated while in office on April 15, 1865. He was one of the most famous Presidents in American history mostly because of what was going on in the country during his time in office. Lincoln led the nation through a Civil War, and he worked to free slaves with his Emancipation Proclamation. On Friday, February 12 we celebrate the birth and life of Abraham Lincoln.

President Joe Biden is looking to renew relations with Palestine, which apparently has been in decline over the past four years. It was said, while in office, President Trump cut funding to Palestinians and destroyed decades of peace. In addition, the new US administration plans to take a tougher stance against Isreal in the West Bank on issues concerning settling, building, and expanding.

After Green Bay’s loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the NFC Championship game, rumors spread about Aaron Rodgers possibly not coming back to Green bay. The 49ers popped up as possibly interested, but Rogers quickly silenced critics on the Pat McAfee Show. “There’s no reason why I wouldn’t return to Green Bay,” he said. This year, Aaron Rodgers threw for 48 touchdowns and led the Pack to a 13-3 record. He also led the NFL in passer rating and completion percentage.

Buccaneers Set To Make History

In NFL news yesterday, The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Green Bay Packers took the field in an all-out battle, and it was the Buccaneers who were victorious 31-26. With the win, Tampa Bay earned a trip to the 2021 Super bowl which will be their first appearance since 2002; John Gruden was the Head Coach then.

Here’s the kicker, and no, I’m not talking about Ryan Succop; Tampa Bay won’t have to travel far because..

Super Bowl 55 will be played at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa Bay, Florida, making this year’s Tampa Bay team the first team in NFL history to host a Super Bowl in their home stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for Sunday, February 7th, at 6:30.

And their opponent? It’s the Kansas City Chiefs. Kansas City won yesterday defeating the Buffalo Bills 38-24. This will be the Chiefs third Super Bowl trip in 41 years. In 1970 they beat the Vikings, and in 2020, the 49ers.

Enjoy the game!
