Check your gravity with NASA’s Artemis II zero-g indicator

I remember buying USPS gear to help the depleted privatized agency. I don't know where that money went.
At least the Nasa Exchange is employee run, so we know it's getting to the right hands.

Wouldn't you think NASA employees need a moral boost now more than ever? Especially the half working in science related projects constantly under attack, counting the days until he leaves office.

Because that'll sure show them, won't it? Daring to be "employed." Those bastards.

I'm not sure how someone opposed to the Trump administration is fine with the destruction of the federal workforce, but you do you I guess.

Buy one because you know if Trump finds out he isn't getting a cut he's going to shut it down.

Sadly I was to order one for a STEM niece but 8 weeks delay... I mean...Artemis II didn't take that long! Anyway, I'll just put her mailing on it so she will get a late graduation surprise! Which, is still a gift!

Current circumstances are what makes this sad.
- If Google or OpenAI or even NASA employees were selling swag during good times, the sale would mostly be an amusing anecdote to bring up at dinner parties.
- Knowing the current administration's attacks on the NASA budget, the sale feels more like a cash-strapped school district doing a bake sale to raise money for its teachers.

A recent election for a school district called for vote on bonds to fund school operations. I don’t know if some of that money was for increased teacher salaries but I voted for it anyway. The proposal did say it would increase taxes. I really don’t know how there are still school teachers here with the poor salaries and the other BS they have to put up with. I was an engineer but know a lot of teachers. I support them.

It's the Moon with a face on it. Moon with arms and legs look more creepy to me:

How does the soft toy indicate zero-g? I am interested in the internals.
Here, you can purchase Sonic the Hedgehog's decapitated head.

It looks like it hangs and so serves as a visual indicator of the pull of gravity or acceleration.

I wish the clothing design was available without text. I rarely like the inclusion of text on a graphic tee, and here it's especially not working for me.

Observe your Rise plushy. Is it floating? Then you are currently in "zero-g". If it is not floating then you are not currently in "zero-g".
Warning incorrect results may occur if Rise is immersed in a fluid denser than air.

Those NASA boffins are amazing!
Edit: Ooh, I found someone on Etsy selling an unlicenced "Mr. Wilson" replica (from the hit film Castaway.) Very realistic-looking and only £100! I wonder if that can be modified to work as well as Rise.

Depends on the security classification and the contract awarded to the company producing the work.

| If Rise is... | mission status is... |
| Floating | zero-g |
| Falling | gravity |
| squished against end of capsule | rocket burn |
| wet | splashdown |
| upside down | confused about how orientation works in space |

Sure, what I meant was screw the rank and file workers. In no way did I intend this to mean that the administration is going to twist the "morale program" to further their ideologies and goals. I do indeed hate the working people at NASA.

I believe that's only true if the work was produced by federal workers as part of their work, then yes. If not, it depends on the terms of agreement with whoever produced the work.

The USA never had a spending problem but an income problem. Everyday, the Epstein Class accumulates more wealth they use only to accumulate more wealth. Otherwise, it remains locked away and doesn't "trickle down" in amounts that make any difference. The Epstein Class has gaslit a lot of folks into becoming their volunteer defenders.

This might be helping USPS, too. $8.23 to ship a $7.99 sticker sheet. I'll have to think on that.
