b'To start, there\\u2019s exciting news! My son is due at the end of August, and so I\\u2019ll be taking some time off after he arrives. Before that, I wanted to check in on two storylines.\\n\\nProfessional shit-stirrer Dmitry Rogozin made it pretty clear that Russia is not interested in the Artemis Program, while various countries around the world partner with NASA on it. And we\\u2019re only a few weeks out from the NSSL Phase 2 awards and there is some related budgetary considerations being debated, so it\\u2019s a good time to circle back on that.'
