Cliff's notes: Polaris Dawn splashes down near Key West with something rare- a 100% successful mission with no surprises. It was risky, especially the preparation and execution of the spacewalk. You can't treat decompression sickness on the Dragon capsule, so you have to make sure that no one in the crew of 4 has any nitrogen bubbles in their blood before venting the air and letting SPAAAACE into your spacecraft.

I don't even live in Oklahoma any more and only lived in Norman very briefly in the oughts. Therefore, I am the point man on this. Any one who misses making fun of Oklahoma and maybe even misses the state just a little bit, this one's for you. You are not alone. Remember to call your grandma or grandma-adjacent today. It's okay to admit that you might want to trade your original in for a cuddlier, less judgemental update. Maybe it wasn't fresh cookies and mumus on the lanai [or seriously, emotional availability] or other things you needed. The beauty of this life God has given us is that we can adopt grandma-adjacents, old people who inspire us, into our lives any time we like. You can take yours to the Wallsmart or the hair salon and mock people together. The world is wide and there are old people out there who will happily hang out on the lanai with you. Holy Advent and Merry Christmas, keep it between the mayonnaise and the mustard, i.e., keep moving/don't give up. You were born for hope, not for despair. We still have Bill Murray.
