NASA’s Artemis II astronauts launched for the moon with prior assistance from a U.S. Space Force unit responsible for all East Coast space launch operations.Personnel in Space Launch Delta 45, located at Patrick Space Force Base in Florida, aided the Artemis II mission even before the launch began, according to a Thursday Space Force release, by analyzing payloads, launch vehicles and their trajectories to cross-match them with “hazard zones.”The zones, which include land, sea and air, are required to guarantee that no person or vehicle is within a certain distance from the pad, per the release. To ensure a safe launch, the hazardous zones were identified through hours of trajectory and debris analysis and included cross-agency coordination, Emma Cusano, SLD 45 flight safety analyst and aerospace engineer, said in the statement.Hello, World! NASA astronaut Reid Wiseman took this picture of Earth from the Orion spacecraft’s window. (Reid Wiseman/NASA)Ahead of the launch, SLD’s Office of Emergency Management also worked with state and local leaders to create emergency response plans in case of an anomaly. The office examined the hazard zones and decided on where roadblocks should be placed, how traffic should flow and where emergency response vehicles would be stationed, according…

The U.S. Air Force and Space Force revised the length of its transition assistance program for service members moving into the civilian workforce.The Department of the Air Force updated its SkillBridge programs to further “balance operational readiness and transition assistance to Airmen and Guardians,” according to a Thursday release.SkillBridge is a Department of Defense program that pairs service members with 180 days or less left in service before their discharge with civilian industry partners for training, apprenticeships or internships.Based on the service member’s rank, the new policy inputs the length of program participation into categories that include which commander levels are able to approve applications, per the release.“These policy refinements balance the need for units to maintain operational readiness, while also ensuring eligible Airmen and Guardians can access opportunities aimed to support their transition to the civilian workforce,” the release says.The previous policy allowed a 180-day window for service members to participate in the program, but now airmen and guardians have limited maximum participation that matches their rank, the statement reads.For airmen, the program is split into three categories. The first category is for ranks E-1 to E-5 and O-1 to O-3 and allows for a maximum of 120 days…

The RoseCraft 14C28N segment continues to grow – along with their already quite beefy selection of traditional knife patterns – with the new Snake Creek Copperhead. This super slick piece is an ode to the capabilities of the wharncliffe blade. Wharnies are all over the place these days; we all know this. But the reason they’re all over the place can largely be attributed to traditional knives. As this segment of the market grew, so too did knife nerds’ awareness of the wharncliffe blade, which was utilized in all sorts of slipjoints over the centuries (yes – centuries). And while the modern folder makers have made hay when it comes to the streamlined slicer, we think the Earl of Wharncliffe would agree with us when we say that it’s first home will always be in the traditional scene. The Snake Creek is compact folded up So, the Snake Creek. It’s a copperhead pattern, and copperhead means two things as far as we’re concerned: a wharncliffe main blade and a slightly curved handle. RoseCraft obviously checked the first box, with a slim, but not short, 3-inch wharncliffe in 14C28N, their new blade steel of choice. Not every copperhead knife has only…
