comes up today at this press conference because there are countless questions to be asked her and i mentioned this earlier in the week. bill did a stunning report. he went through a long list of criminals who had been apprehended at the border. why would you as commander-in-chief want the allow criminals to cross this border that is so porous and has been that way ever since you came to the white house? primary question today. another question today, what about the covid policies on the border? have they improved? for a while there we were under the impression that a lot of the covid test wasn t even happening. now you have the link sent out to america yesterday, the link was given to me by a friend of mine. it was simple, easy. the united states postal service. a promise made in december hasn t been fulfilled. almost the end of january. you have to wait 10 days. i think within 14 days you might receive the four kits
people that test wasn t successful. the subcommittee on space will now come to order. today s hearing will focus on the serious issues associated with the james webb space telescope. when we integrated the spacecraft element and did testing, we made all kinds of discoveries that were unfortunate and not just unfortunate, problematic. although i have heard testimony how important it is, i understand that, it s very frustrating to me and other taxpayers that this is so much of a cost overrun. every screw has to have its quality tested. i can tell you, this is about the biggest screw job i ve ever seen, and it s the taxpayers that are getting screwed here. we want to make these mistakes here on earth because that mistake, if it was in space, it would be too late. it can t be fixed

Late afternoon in Texas yesterday SpaceX conducted a key flight of its Starship SN8 prototype which intended to validate the design of the upper stage spacecraft of the next-generation launch system designed specifically for Mars missions. The SN8 was powered by three of SpaceX s Raptor liquid-oxygen, liquid-methane, gas-generator, staged-combustion rocket engines which are a brand new design over the company s Merlin 1D engines that power its launch-proven Falcon 9 rocket lineup.
They were at the center stage of yesterday s test, as two of SpaceX s three publicly stated goals for the testing involved the Raptor. These goals covered the engines re-ignition to land the SN8 after it successfully flipped itself vertically and the propellant switch from SN8 s primary to secondary tanks.
