I remember the entire school coming to the Assembly Room to watch Allen Shepherd in the first rocket launch. The next time we gathered was to watch John Glenn, then the moon walk. It was a very exciting time to be a kid.

Interesting...the story about Yuri. Was he human? Most likely. The 8th thing to know about today is the ChaosGPT computer instructed to destroy humanity. This was/is a real exercise in real time. Is Mr. Chaos human? Nada...he neither has a heart or a soul and that makes him extremely dangerous.

I was also 5 when I saw something about this on Walter Cronkite. I do remember Gagarin’s name.

I hope that whoever leaked those docs gets caught and put under a prison. I really hated to see the one about Ukraine. Lord knows what the fallout will be over that(a decimated Russian army perhaps?).
