U2 – 40
An evening pause: Performed live 1983. It appears this became the band’s traditional closer at all of its concerts.

Readers!
Please consider supporting my work here at Behind the Black. Your support allows me the freedom and ability to analyze objectively the ongoing renaissance in space, as well as the cultural changes -- for good or ill -- that are happening across America. Fourteen years ago I wrote that SLS and Orion were a bad ideas, a waste of money, would be years behind schedule, and better replaced by commercial private enterprise. Only now does it appear that Washington might finally recognize this reality.
In 2020 when the world panicked over COVID I wrote that the panic was unnecessary, that the virus was apparently simply a variation of the flu, that masks were not simply pointless but if worn incorrectly were a health threat, that the lockdowns were a disaster and did nothing to stop the spread of COVID. Only in the past year have some of our so-called experts in the health field have begun to recognize these facts.
Your help allows me to do this kind of intelligent analysis. I take no advertising or sponsors, so my reporting isn't influenced by donations by established space or drug companies. Instead, I rely entirely on donations and subscriptions from my readers, which gives me the freedom to write what I think, unencumbered by outside influences.
You can support me either by giving a one-time contribution or a regular subscription. There are four ways of doing so:
1. Zelle: This is the only internet method that charges no fees. All you have to do is use the Zelle link at your internet bank and give my name and email address (zimmerman at nasw dot org). What you donate is what I get.
2. Patreon: Go to my website there and pick one of five monthly subscription amounts, or by making a one-time donation.
3. A Paypal Donation or subscription:
4. Donate by check, payable to Robert Zimmerman and mailed to

Bob – completely off topic but I heard some odd news on radio about how the House Democrats are piggybacking onto the back of a NASA bill their Voting bills – adding the so called Freedom to Vote Act & the John Lewis blah blah blah Bill. Not much information about this on Web so before I call my congressman I wanted to get as much information as possible- is there anything you can share?
Original Mark: No. I have not seen anything about this.
“The House on Thursday passed on party lines a combined voting bill tied to a NASA funding bill as part of a plan to force a Senate debate on the measure and put pressure on Democrats to abolish the filibuster.”

“NASA has issued a climate action plan aimed at continuing critical Earth science and climate research and averting mission impacts due to climate.”

Thanks Max, I also just saw this on Youtube regarding the manipulation of the NASA Bill – why it was stripped down to be used for a hyper-partisan Voting legislation.
