Jump on in. Thank you. So you are not using the Steering Wheel at all, you are using. Screams. Wow laughs. Which way are we going . im at nasa in houston, where lucienjunkin is taking me for a spin. Using both a Steering Wheel and a joystick, you can point this vehicle in one direction and drive it in another. You can feel the forces is in your tailbone. Oh, i can feel the forces in my tailbone. Laughs. And if that seems really confusing, well, it is. But this is drive by wire technology, which means the on board computer works out which way you want to go and then calculates what to do with the wheels. All right, so well just go this way. This is just one of many experiments into how we might live, work and drive on the moon or mars. Although this vehicle may also pave the way for smarter cars in smarter cities back down here on earth where, i have to say, parking may be one of the coolest things you get to do. No way no way. Come on, man. But, before we start driving around celestial
Numbers coming up a few degrees in the inland valleys today, but the week ahead looks rather typical. I will explain and have a detailed forecast for pride festivities in a few minutes. Chris. Lisa, thank you. Happening today, volunteers will install the annual Pink Triangle atop twin pinks in San Francisco. The Pink Triangle was once a symbol of hate used by nazis to identify homosexuals. It is now a symbol of gay rights. It stretches 200 feet across and can be seen for 20 miles. Thats what the event is about, remembering the hatred of the past to help prevent it from happening again. The installation starts at 7 00 this morning. There then will be a commemoration ceremony with elected officials and the San Francisco lesbian and gay freedom band at 10 30. It is the 27th annual dike march starting at delores park. It seeks to bring lgbtq people together to celebrate unity and raise consciousness about the community. The rally starts at 11 00 and march at 5 00. Organizers expect tens of
Two developments in the last hour should be processed with that fact in mind. First, his sudden decision to cancel a Press Conference. Trump had promised a, quote, conclusive report and he would once and for all be proven right New York Times says its a document of more than 100 pages compiled, at least in part by liz harrington, a Trump Communications aide often described as among the True Believers in his false claims that the 2020 election was stolen from him through widespread fraud. At least on this one issue, trump appears to have listened to the advice of his lawyers. Abc news reported yesterday, trumps Legal Advisers have told him holding such a Press Conference with dubious claims would only complicate his legal problems. Which wrings us to the second development. An audacious request filed in Court Last Night to push back trumps trial in the federal case regarding his efforts to overturn the 2020 election to april of the year 2026. Yeah. Thats more than five years after the d

my brother need not be idealized or enlarged in death beyond what he was in life. to be remembered simply as a good and decent man who saw wrong and tried to right it, saw suffering and tried to heal it, saw war and tried to stop it. those of us who loved him and will take him to his rest today pray that what he was to us and what he wished for others will some day come to pass for all the world. as he said many times in many parts of this nation to those he touched and who sought to touch him, some men see things as they are and say why, i dream things that never were and say why not. that was senator ted kennedy at the funeral of his brother bobby. second funeral he would have to mark and today is june 6th. david ignatius, two monumental things happened on this day, of course, the assassination and the death the assassination and the death of bobby kennedy on june 6th, 1968, a day that really marked in many ways a low point, the chaos of the 1960s and i must say also a
