When American astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley arrive at the International Space Station this week, they will find an unusual message waiting for them. On the inside of the hatch where their SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft is scheduled to dock, a small stars and stripes flag has been sealed in a plastic bag with a cryptic message attached. “Flown on STS-1 and STS-135. Only to be removed by a crew launched from KSC.”

It sounds enigmatic but the meaning is straightforward. The flag, which measures 8 inches by 12 inches, was flown on board the first space shuttle mission (STS-1) in 1981. And it was carried aloft in 2011 when the shuttle Atlantis rendezvoused with the space station on the last shuttle mission (STS-135). KSC simply stands for the Kennedy Space Centre.

Departing astronauts on Atlantis had left the flag and message before flying their craft back to the US, where it was grounded with the other remaining shuttle craft in the wake of the Challenger and Columbia tragedies. Only when Americans returned – in a new fleet of their own spaceships – was that flag to be brought back to Earth, it was decreed.

Now that moment is about to arrive. After a gap of nine years, during which US astronauts have had to undergo the ignominy of hitching rides to the space station in Russia’s cramped Soyuz space capsules, American men and women are set to return to orbit in their own craft – in this case, Elon Musk’s SpaceX Crew Dragon spaceship.

It will be a triumphant moment for America as it enters a new stage in its often troubled manned space programme. Crewed spaceflights into low Earth orbit will now be taken over by private businesses which have already been ferrying supplies to the space station. To date, only the governments of America, Russia and China have been able to mount manned space programmes. Now US business is taking a lead.

AnambraDota:
Nkwelle is Onitsha environ though in Oyi LG, I wish there are business clusters developing alongside these beautiful residential area but none of that.

We need to balance our economy in Anambra State, more effort should be made to explore the services industry. Most businesses in Anambra outsource their services to agents in Lagos.

Can Anambra State develop a robust printing industry, more hotels, accounting and IT firms.

If Anambra can use manufacturing and services to balance the blue collar dominated trading and farming it will be better.

There should be a paradigm shift from blue collar Anambra to a white collar one.

Thank you.

We need more of the services industry in Anambra.


I see Anambra more like a Residential paradise, which is good, but as a young man who is not In to commerce or trade or fabrication....there is nothing for you.

Example as a Visual effects artist or Machinelearning expert, there is no chance for you in Anambra , youd have to move out of the state to find a job

cutefy:
This man and bitterness are like 5 & 6.

Darling, you are stupid.

MinorityOpinion:
Open adeyinka thread now. Kanu is a hateful fellow

Dear OP, Nnamdi Kanu is eating you up from the insides

quasarJose:
I am currently sourcing for a 2D graphics artist for my game project. You will be creating quite a number of characters, assets and environment to meet the needs of the work in view. I need a dedicated and creative person to work with. This promises to be rewarding and rich in experience. Kindly reach out on whatsapp/telegram 08100114675.

As a famous American singer unknown to the Indomie generation once sang, 'if at first you don't succeed/pick yourself up and try again.'

Btw is it just me or the dude look like Burna Boy

Aaliyah

MinorityOpinion:
Sleepless night? I wrote that in 20min. Nnamdi need to rethink and re-strategise his campaign because Nigerians are happy with the way he's taking Biafra down with him to dust

Can you please highlight on why Biafra is the dreaded African Tiger. An article here , especially by you, goes a long way to promote Biafran initiatives. You can do that in 20 mins. Issues concerning Biafra are your forte. I like how you promote us. More grease, Dear

MinorityOpinion:
We can't move forward if we keep twisting history. Every IPOB is a lie covered in another lie.

Thank you for helping ipob to highlight the failures of this contraption. More grease.

You will be surely rewarded. How about senior assistant to the Biafran information minister. It's a rather juicy offer. Many wouldn't hesitate on the offer.

I am trying my hands at crashing my Datsun truck against a building. The occupants wont survive. Its a given.

I want to be able to control how the car crashes and which parts will be less mangled or not. It's still in the works. Hopefully, I'd finish tonight.


Right now, I dont like the fracturing I am getting. It shouldn't even shatter . Just mangle for me. I dont know what to press again

reidkrugger:
This helped a lot. thanks. I'll shoot it up to 160000 as proscribed.

It's a complete time saver

How did you see my head disintegration attempt (video). Any suggestions?

Eastern region provincial parliament members

Oh my gush. Infact you guys are official terrorists to the Propagandists

Where them dey.

What's holding their own list

horsepower102:
Throwback and all the rest of yoruba propaganda machinery I challenge you to post the List of the western region Leadership and the Minority representation rations


LET ALL OF NAIRALAND SEE EVERYTHING. Let us compare and see WHO ARE THE LIARS and PROPAGANDISTS

I am with you.

Where are the Ndi aras

Odingo1:
Reverse psychology, you are disappointed that East is not there and today garden city have turn to their beloved.

Ibadan is not known for pollution because there is no heavy economic activities there rather is only covered with brown roof and dilapidated houses.

Brown Roof Republic (BRF)

This is good

Kudos to Proforce

When Dem no dey flog pikin,if Dem dey flog pikin all these things no go dey happen.. example like homosexual,drug abuse,etc mtcheeew....
Even God said it that the Demon reside in the heart of children so u have to use cane to chase that demon away, imagine a child taking drug since 13yrs of age...

So all the Nigerians flogged while young that still turn to yahoo boys nko

KenechukwuEdu:
Biafra wants the same thing. Nigeria is a terrible country

This is what we want.

I wish theres someone who could lias with world leaders such as Trump, Putin and Merkel to help us. Biafran cant be without the serious help of world leaders. I am afraid

BrownLondon:
keep quiet my friend, Rant HQ is still running.

Empty chest beaters.

Sagging balls

BrownLondon:
Apology is not necessary here, Kanu said more...


Loosing a Facebook page is not the end of life, although Rant HQ is still kicking.

People from other tribes seems to have bad remarks on igbos......

hausas,Yorubas, South Africans and recently Niger Deltans.
Igbos have no friend, that's why a day old baby stand a better chance to the our president than the greatest ibo politician.

When different people don't like you, then you're the problem..... Change your way.



I came in peace.

Why did u put I come in peace?
Are u running away.

You guys would taunt igbos and expect us to remain docile.

We serve it as i dey hot

Zedoo:
This is a scene from “The Banker” where Anthony Mackie and Samuel L. Jackson watch the golf ball

We all know GEJ. That rubbish was concocted by the South Westerners

My low poly environment for animation series, what do you think boss.

Beauriful. I like that game feel. I wish I can design games.

Is it a project? If it is, can I be part of the team. Or if it's not, can we come with something.


Love the lightning

diplomat058:
Well, your conclusion reeks of hasty generalization induced by bigotry of mindset. Many Igbos on this forum too hardly discuss Biafra without calling Yorubas sorts of derogatory names, but I don't use their shameful dispositions to conclude that the Igbos are antithetical to Yoruba progress. This is especiall of Nnamdi KANU who always calls Yorubas hateful names on radio Biafra

No. It's not bigotry darling. It's the reality.

Unless you are new here, which is I suspect, all the voracious attackers of biafra here are the Yorubas. Check the Biafran threads here, any critic of Biafra has a Ypruba monikers or known yoruba affiliations.


So, I still conclude that my dog has the greatest chance at forming five word syllables than an influential Yoruba convincing his people on the need to secede from Nigeria.

The yorubas like Nigeria as it is. And why is that? It could all be a primal fear of venturing into the unknown. They, the Yorubas and her affiliates , would rather stick to familiar grounds

Simbrixton:
can u promote your biafra without blaming us

Can I mention biafra without a Yoruba going berserk?
Even in my office, I get attacked for showing the slightest of sympathy to Biafran causes. All my attackers are yoruba and the staff is diverse. The northern often appear non plussed. But the Yorubas will drown you with Reasons why Nigeria is the best paradise on earth

It's a cause vs effect thing.

You guys love Nigeria and will die for her.

Simbrixton:
ode u no get sense mumu guy

Dear diplomat guy, you see exactly what I am pointing at.

The mere mention of Biafra will have palisades of Yoruba vagrants lurching for ur neck.

Diplomat, the yoruba want Nigeria, liked it as it is and will die for Nigeria even if it turns to a Zoo.

Let's all shun the pretence

Total bullshit

Only an igbo person can restructure this country and that is why the northern oligarchy and its south western puppets are bent on preventing this.

Most Nigerians greatest fear about igbo presidency is not the domination of igbos actually but the fact that an igbo president might mean the end of Nigeria as it is

KanuSE:
Luggard is not our problem, your criminal-politicians and YOU (the voter who continues to vote them into public offices) are the main problem.

Curse Lugard.

KanuSE:
Please bless the day Nigeria was amalgamated coz it's indeed a blessing but most of you can't see even though you have eyes.

Curse lord lugard.

He is an idiot
