One of the consequences of Trumps DEI policy is that the NASA website has had to remove information, information on the women pioneers at NASA, the very people, who helped put people in to space, on the moon and bring them back to Earth.
This is HAPPENING now, thanks to Trump and MAGA.
Thankfully, there are people who are working to archive this information so it can be preserved for future generations. I have downloaded the above graphic so it can be included here. I have also put links to Wikipedia (or other)pages. There are a few gaps which I can add in later.

Why are we rewriting history.
In another disturbing twist as to how right wing racist are trying to rewrite history to remove references to race.
This can't be allowed to happen, one way to fight this is to share what is going on, preserve the ORIGINAL story narrative so that future generations know full well Rosa was asked to move due to HER COLOR.

A new supercomputer simulation animates the evolution of the universe
The infant universe transforms from a featureless landscape to an intricate web in a new supercomputer simulation of the cosmos’s formative years.
An animation from the simulation shows our universe changing from a smooth, cold gas cloud to the lumpy scattering of galaxies and stars that we see today. It’s the most complete, detailed and accurate reproduction of the universe’s evolution yet produced, researchers report in the November Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.

History of Afghanistan
As of 17th August 2021, the Taliban swift take over of Afghanistan [1] is in the news. I decided to look up the history of Afghanistan, which is really interesting.
Granted Wikipedia is NOT considered an academic source of information, nevertheless this article makes interesting reading and if you are writing an essay or paper then there are citations and references to the authors sources of information. Which would make further reading too.
Interesting quote in the article
“Afghanistan is “easy to march into, hard to march out of.” was made by Alexander the Great in 330 BCE, assuming I have read understood the article correctly, the situation is not much different now.
I will have another look later as the article is right up August 1t5th at the time of writing this.
I think by understanding the history of the country more, then it does make understanding the current situation better . Given that it has been invaded so many times, and each time the culture has been influenced, both in what seems positive and negative ways.
