This week, the VeBetterDAO team are excited to introduce the 'Endorsement' mechanism – an innovative new way for Economic and X node holders to play an active role in platform governance, and further decentralize the Better ecosystem.
In the initial version, apps must obtain a minimum score of 100 points – awarded by Nodes (detailed scoring below) -to be eligible for active participation in weekly allocation rounds. By working with Node holders – a key pillar of governance in the VeChainThor ecosystem – the community can drive quality and reliability across the VeBetterDAO platform.
The endorsement process empowers all stakeholders by facilitating transparent and collaborative two-way interactions among key ecosystem participants, with aligned interests in driving the best future outcome for the platform.
Why Endorsements Matter
Endorsements mark a key step towards the Better ecosystem’s longer-term objective of decentralizing decision-making, and placing power in the hands of the community. This includes choosing which apps are eligible to join the platform, and ultimately earn weekly governance rewards – a role that currently sits with the VeChain Foundation. .
As a key part of the VeChain governance network, we welcome and encourage active and engaged Economic and X-Node holders to work with builders and the community, as well as the VeChain team, to drive the platform forward.
How Endorsements Work
With endorsements now live, each app in the VeBetterDAO ecosystem requires a total score of 100 to be eligible for allocation rounds - all apps have a grace period of 2 weeks from the start of Round 21 to be able to obtain the requisite score.
Scoring is based on endorsements from Economic and X nodes, with each tier contributing a specific value. Apps can receive endorsements from multiple nodes, allowing them to gradually accumulate points to reach the required total.
Node Influence: Different node levels contribute different scores. Higher-level nodes offer a greater impact on an app’s score, ensuring that endorsement power aligns with node responsibility.
Grace Period for Score Recovery: If an app’s score drops below 100 due to a loss of endorsements, it enters a two-week grace period. During this time, the app remains active but must regain the required score; otherwise, it will be marked inactive for allocation rounds after the grace period expires. However, inactive apps remain visible in the app section, allowing them to continue seeking endorsements.
Flexible Endorsement Management: Both nodes and apps can withdraw endorsements. If a node removes its endorsement and the app’s score falls under 100, the app has two weeks to secure new endorsements. Apps may also remove specific endorsements from nodes at any time if they choose, providing flexibility and alignment with their goals.
New Apps: Decentralizing Entry into VeBetterDAO’s Ecosystem
New app creators can now initiate their journey with VeBetterDAO by submitting an application form directly on the platform. Upon approval, they receive a Creator’s NFT, which allows them to submit their app for endorsement through the VeBetter platform directly, as well as join the endorsement channels on Discord to connect with Node holders.
During this time, the app will become visible in the VeBetterDAO app section with a “looking for endorsement” status.
Application and Verification: Submit your app through VeBetterDAO, and upon eligibility, receive a Creator’s NFT to apply for endorsement.
Connect with Node Holders: Using the Creator’s NFT, join a dedicated Discord channel where you can interact with node holders to discuss endorsements, building valuable connections within the ecosystem.
Visibility While Pending: Apps in the endorsement-seeking phase are visible in the app section, enabling users to explore and interact with their profile. Creators have the flexibility to manage endorsements and may remove any node’s endorsement at their discretion.
Creators NFT
The Creators NFT is an ERC721 Token (non-transferable) minted to creators submitting their app for the first time.
A user can hold a maximum of one NFT per wallet, irrespective of the number of X-Apps they manage. Additionally, app administrators, through the app detail page in VeBetterDAO, may mint up to three NFTs for team members, with the ability to revoke them.
The burn policy dictates that a creator's NFT will be burned if the associated X-App is blacklisted, and the user has no other active X-Apps.
Existing Apps: Transitioning to the New System
Existing apps will be integrated into the endorsement system with a two-week grace period to obtain the required 100-point score. If an app does not secure sufficient endorsements within this time, it will be marked as inactive in allocation rounds.
However, the app will still be visible in the VeBetterDAO app section, where it can continue seeking endorsements until reactivated.
Economic and X Node Holders: The Backbone of VeChainThor
Economic and X node holders are now at the heart of VeBetterDAO’s app endorsement mechanism. By logging into the VeBetter platform and connecting wallet, Node holders can the explore apps and provide endorsement as they see fit.
Node holders are invited to join a dedicated Discord channel where they can connect to our bot and access a special channel for communicating directly with app creators, on topics from app objectives to potential impact, before making endorsement decisions.
Please note: Connecting your wallet on Discord is done solely for verification purposes, and to ensure users hold the relevant NFT. VeChain does not store any personal information and has no access to users' wallets or funds.
Influence and Responsibility: The app ecosystem’s quality is in your hands, making node holders responsible for setting VeBetterDAO’s standards and future direction.
Engage with App Creators: In the dedicated endorsement Discord channel, node holders can chat with app creators, discussing endorsement possibilities and app goals.
Flexible Endorsement Choices: Node holders have the flexibility to remove their endorsements at any time or switch support to different apps, ensuring alignment with the most promising projects in the ecosystem.
Node holders and app creators can mutually agree on the terms of endorsement, defining expectations from both sides.
App creators may offer shares, tokens, rewards, exclusive features, experiences, or prizes to node holders who endorse their apps. In return, node holders can provide endorsements, support by engaging with the VeChain community, and assist with the app's operations and daily activities.
There are no mandatory requirements or formal agreements; the terms are left to the discretion of the apps and node holders to discuss and negotiate an arrangement that best meets their needs.

🚨 “Something Big Is Being Hidden… 3IATLAS” – Congresswoman Luna Breaks Silence 🚨
Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna has spoken out about the mystery of 3I/ATLAS, showing her full support for Harvard scientist Avi Loeb’s investigation. She’s now teaming up with Loeb to uncover what the government might be hiding about non-human life forms, and why access to key footage is being blocked from the public.
Luna says this fight for UFO and ET disclosure is a bipartisan battle, but warns that powerful forces inside the intelligence community and the Department of Defense are pushing back hard to keep the truth hidden.
Meanwhile, sources claim that NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) captured rare images of 3I/ATLAS on October 2–3, but those pictures still haven’t been released — adding even more mystery to the case.
Could this be the moment the truth finally breaks through? 👀

🚨 CONGRESS RELEASES NEW SENATE DRAFT TO SETTLE SEC VS CFTC TURF 🚨
The US Congress is working to clarify the regulatory framework for digital assets, with two Senate committees releasing competing drafts aimed at bringing order to the crypto market. These drafts propose significant changes that could reshape everything from Bitcoin spot markets to Ethereum disclosures and exchange rulebooks.
🔑 Key Points
Agriculture Committee Draft: This draft expands the Commodity Futures Trading Commission’s (CFTC) role, granting it authority over “digital commodities” and their spot markets. It sets up registration requirements for exchanges, brokers, and dealers, mirroring CFTC oversight of traditional commodities.
Banking Committee Draft: This draft, called the Responsible Financial Innovation Act, focuses on digital assets that straddle the line between securities and commodities. It defines an “ancillary asset” and gives the SEC explicit authority to oversee these instruments, requiring ...
🚨 RIPPLE WINS THE FIGHT BUT GHOSTS WALL STREET DESPITE 40B IPO VALUATION 🚨
Ripple has emerged victorious in its legal battle with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) over the status of XRP, but it has chosen to remain private despite a 40 billion valuation. This decision highlights the complex relationship between crypto firms and public markets.
🔑 Key Points
Legal Victory: In July 2023, the court ruled that XRP was not a security when sold on public exchanges, clearing a major hurdle for Ripple. This victory was expected to pave the way for an initial public offering (IPO).
Staying Private: Instead of going public, Ripple has confirmed it has “no plan, no timeline” for an IPO. President Monica Long emphasized that Ripple has about 500 million in funding and a private valuation near 40 billion.
Avoiding Public Market Challenges: Ripple’s decision to stay private avoids the volatility and regulatory scrutiny associated with public markets. This strategy allows the ...
Unlocking the future of space travel through the precise calculation of time and orbital trajectories.
"My preliminary analysis suggests two principal hypotheses regarding the reported phenomenon known as '3I/Atlas':
A Coordinated Psychological Operation (PsyOp): The phenomenon may constitute a calculated effort to manipulate public sentiment or induce fear, potentially preceding a planned, large-scale deception (referred to informally as 'Project Bluebeam').
A Highly Anomalous Object: Alternatively, the phenomenon represents an authentic, significant anomaly warranting serious scientific or intelligence scrutiny.
Regardless of its origin, '3I/Atlas' represents an historically noteworthy development that necessitates close, informed observation."
~Crypto Michael | The Dinarian 🙏
Abstract Introduction:
New data is now showing something that arrived early and its changing colors as we previously predicted.
In orbital mechanics where trajectories are calculated centuries in advance with accurate precision measured in seconds.
A 11-minute deviation is not a rounding error.
It’s not a typo in the database.
It’s not close enough.
"It’s Physically impossible.”
Now The longest government shutdown in U.S. history still blocking NASA releases while the object executed its closest Fly-by approaches to Mars, The Sun and Venus at the moment of maximum observational blackout.
But orbital mechanics don’t care about “government shutdowns.”
Our observations Don’t Stop.
And the math doesn’t wait for “Press releases.”
The math says this:
“If 3I/ATLAS is natural, it should have lost about 5.5 billion tons of mass.”
It didn't.
1. The 5.5 Billion Ton Problem:
Let’s start with what everyone agrees on: 3I/ATLAS “now” arrived earlier than pure gravitational predictions would allow. Even though we have been mentioning this trajectory change over 2 Weeks ago (October 21st Article HERE) TRACKING 3I/ATLAS .
The scientific consensus explanation? “Natural outgassing” the "rocket effect." As water ice sublimates near the Sun, it creates thrust, like a slow-motion rocket engine powered by evaporating ice. Comets do this all the time. It’s normal. It’s natural. It’s explainable.
Except for ONE problem.
“The Physics Don’t Add Up!”
To generate enough thrust to arrive approximately “11 minutes early” would require shedding a staggering amount of mass.
Our calculations show “over 5.5 billion tons” of gas ejected over the perihelion passage.
Think about that for a moment.
That’s not a little puff of vapor.
That’s not some gas leaking from surface cracks.
That’s 15% of the object’s total estimated mass.
If 3I/ATLAS lost that much material naturally, it would create a debris cloud larger than Jupiter’s magnetosphere—visible to amateur telescopes from Earth. Absolutely impossible to miss in professional observations, and bright enough to be catalogued by every sky survey on the planet.
1.1 ~ The Plume Paradox:
Here’s where it gets interesting:
No such cloud has yet to be observed.
Not by Hubble. Not by JWST. Not by ground-based observatories. Not by the Mars orbiters that watched it pass at 30 million kilometers.
The brightness remained within “expected limits.” The coma showed stable & geometric shifting features. The tail structure now disappeared (but that’s another story). The main one is that: “The debris cloud that should exist — simply doesn’t.”
This isn't a minor discrepancy.
This is complete, mathematical failure of the natural comet hypothesis.
Part 2: The Industrial Signature:
So if natural sublimation didn't create the thrust, what did?
The answer is hidden in the chemistry—specifically, in what shouldn’t be there. “The Nickel Anomaly.” When multiple astronomers analyzed 3I/ATLAS’s spectral signature, they found something extraordinary: “nickel vapor” (Ni) at extreme distances from the Sun, where temperatures should be far too cold for metals to vaporize naturally.
Nickel doesn't just evaporate on its own at those temperatures.
It needs HELP.
And there’s only one known process—natural or industrial—that produces a volatile nickel-carbon compound at cold temperatures which we have said several times previously;
Nickel Tetracarbonyl: Ni(CO)₄
This is not a natural cosmic process.
This is an “industrial chemical pathway” used on EARTH for metal refinement!!!
It forms at 120°C and decomposes at 180°C allowing nickel to vaporize at temperatures where water ice would remain frozen solid.
It is LITERALLY, an industrial refrigerant for metal processing.
The presence of Ni(CO)₄ in the plume tells us two things:
The core is not ice — It’s a nickel-rich, engineered structure.
The process is not passive sublimation — it’s an active, controlled system.
The nickel vapor isn’t contamination.
It’s not a coincidence.
It’s Exhaust.
3. Secret Gravity (SOEG) Model:
This is where our research team proposes something NEW.
We call it The “Self-Optimizing Ejection Guidance (SOEG) Model”
A Brand New Scientifically defensible framework that explains the acceleration not as chaotic outgassing, but as “controlled propulsion.”
The SOEG Model(Project EE / 3IE)
The System: • Volatile Reservoir — CO₂ ice + Nickel-rich metallic core. • Solar Heating — Perihelion triggers sublimation at optimal moment. • Magnetic Ionization — Internal magnetic field ionizes nickel vapor into plasma. • Anisotropic Jets — Plasma channeled through focused nozzles. (not random cracks) • Thrust Optimization — Maximum momentum transfer with minimal mass loss.
Unlike natural cometary outgassing—which is chaotic, omnidirectional, and wildly inefficient. The SOEG Model Fully Represents: (CONTROLLED, DIRECTIONAL, OPTIMIZED PROPULSION.)
It’s the engineering solution to interstellar navigation: Using a “magnetofluidic drive” that uses the Sun’s + Nearby Planets & Star energy to activate a propulsion system that was BUILT.
The secret is in the magnetic field. By ionizing the nickel-carbon vapor into a high-velocity plasma jet, the system achieves thrust efficiencies that natural sublimation could never match.
This isn’t science fiction. This is “magnetohydrodynamics” the same physics that powers experimental plasma thrusters being developed by NASA and ESA for deep-space missions.
The difference?
We’re building prototypes…
Someone else already perfected it.
4. The Scientific Statistical Test:
Here’s what makes it undeniable.
Natural comets exhibit HIGH temporal variance in their acceleration parameters.
Technical terms like (A₁) and (A₂) that describe how thrust changes over time. Natural outgassing is messy, chaotic & unpredictable.
Our Prediction:
We formally predict that when sufficient post-perihelion data is published — expected from JUICE observations (data release February 2026) and ground-based telescopes through December 2025— 3I/ATLAS WILL show:
(A₂ parameter near zero) — phase-locked rotational coherence.
Temporal drift < 0.5σ — stability far beyond natural variance.
“Thrust vector alignment” with rotational axis — body-fixed engine signature.
If ALL 3 conditions are met.
The probability that 3I/ATLAS is a natural comet drops below 0.01% (a >4σ statistical rejection).
This is not speculation. This is a time-stamped, falsifiable prediction.
By February — March 2026, we will either be proven right or wrong.
The data doesn’t care about our theories. It only cares about what actually happens.
5. The Blue Hue 🔵:
Now there’s one more piece of evidence—and it’s visible to the naked eye (well, through a telescope). “The Color Anomaly.”
Natural comets scatter sunlight off dust particles, producing a yellowish-red glow. At 1.36 AU from the Sun, 3I/ATLAS should have appeared reddish-orange from thermal emission.
Instead, observers noted something strange: “A distinct blue fluorescence” in the coma.
What Blue Light Means?
Blue emission in a comet’s coma comes from highly ionized species—primarily “CO” (carbon monoxide ions) and certain excited metallic vapors. This requires enormous, “FOCUSED” energy to achieve.
You don’t get this level of ionization from passive solar heating. You get it from ~ Active Plasma Generation. The blue hue is the visible proof of the SOEG engine operating at perihelion. It’s the "engine glow" of a magnetofluidic drive generating high-energy plasma to achieve maximum thrust efficiency.
Compare: - Natural comets (Hale-Bopp, NEOWISE, 67P, Etc.): Usual Yellowish-red dust scattering. - Expected for 3I/ATLAS at 1.36 AU: Reddish-orange thermal glow. - Observed in 3I/ATLAS: Distinct “Blue” plasma fluorescence.
This isn't subtle.
This is the difference between reflected sunlight and an active thruster firing.
5.5 ~ Convergence of Evidence:
Let's put it all together.
The Self-Optimizing Ejection Guidance (SOEG) Model is not speculation. It’s not wild theorizing. It’s one of the only frameworks that coherently explains:
✅ The early arrival— non-gravitational acceleration without natural explanation.
✅ The missing 5.5-billion-ton debris cloud — controlled thrust with minimal mass loss.
✅ The Ni(CO)₄ industrial signature — engineered propulsion chemistry.
✅ The blue plasma glow — active ionization system visible during perihelion.
However each piece of evidence, standing alone, is anomalous but potentially explainable.
Together, they form an interlocking pattern that demands a technological origin.
But then there’s the Silence.
Venus conjunction: Still offline.
This is not incompetence.
This is recognition.
THEY know something we’re still calculating.
December 19, 2025: 3I/ATLAS reaches closest approach to Earth at 167 million miles.
“If the calculations are correct, the 5.5-billion-ton debris cloud should be impossible to miss. Every telescope on the planet will be watching.”
All of this new information scheduled to be released should definitely include the following: High-resolution spectroscopy, morphological analysis, particle environment data and MOST CRITICALLY the astrometric parameters that will confirm or refute our SOEG model’s predictions.
“If the A₂ parameter shows phase-locked stability, the SOEG model is confirmed.”
Conclusion:
The Numbers Don’t Lie. The orbital path was not set by gravity alone. The acceleration was not powered by ice. The chemistry was not natural. And the timing is not “coincidental.”
3I/ATLAS is a message written in orbital mechanics, plasma physics, and industrial chemistry—a message we have “74 days” left to fully decode.
The mathematics are clear.
The predictions are calculated.
We don't have to speculate about what it is.
“We just have to (wait) for the complete data packet to arrive.”
And when it does, one of two things will happen:
Either the natural hypothesis survives (unlikely, given the evidence). Or we confirm what the numbers have been screaming to us since October are TRUE.
“Something pushed it. Something controlled it. Something arrived exactly when it needed to.”
Or The A-parameters will lock.
The plasma signature will confirm.
The debris cloud will be absent.
And the institutional silence will make perfect sense.
Because you don’t announce a discovery like this through a press release.
You announce it through a “Calculated Strategy.”
Analogy Conclusion:
The orbital path was set by laws that were not known, For where the starlight failed, a force was subtly sown.
No dust and ice, but Nickel in the plume’s blue gleam, A pulse of hidden power, of controlled, forgotten dreams.
The A-Parameter locks, The true secret of the sphere, The Simultaneous Truth arrives, When all the numbers are near.
Blackrock possess a strategic depth that goes far beyond initial appearances. When the general market perceives selling and traders respond with emotion, these major players are often operating on a much more profound level. They adeptly identify and leverage every available mechanism to influence market dynamics. Their power isn't in direct control of the asset, but in understanding how to move the market without ever taking direct ownership.
What entity has become the most prominent corporate champion of Bitcoin ($BTC)?
It's the one with the massive treasury holdings, known as Microstrategy.
However, the major strategic challenge lies here: the size of their Bitcoin position is fundamentally linked to their external financing, typically in the form of debt.
This reliance on significant debt creates an inherent vulnerability—a dependence on creditors and shareholders. When an entity's position is highly leveraged, that dependence makes them susceptible to market manipulation or strategic pressure from external financial forces.
When a highly leveraged corporate holder of a significant asset (like $BTC) faces external financial stress, that pressure inevitably transfers to the asset itself.
Blackrock's goal isn't to induce a market crash, but rather to establish a dominant position and control.
Any substantial sale of major cryptocurrencies like $BTC or $ETH initiated by Blackrock, can be interpreted not as routine trading, but as a deliberate effort to manipulate market sentiment and pricing.
Blackrock is deploying a sophisticated combination of tactics: they simultaneously generate market volatility through strategic sales of the asset ($BTC) while accumulating shares in key corporate holders (the stock symbolized by $MSTR).
The deeper intent is to leverage this equity stake to direct the corporate strategy of the highly leveraged Bitcoin champion.
With a sufficiently large ownership percentage, this influence becomes highly effective. The resulting market power is therefore a function of both manipulating price movementandcontrolling corporate policy.
Is Microstrategy (the company represented by the $MSTR stock) vulnerable to this kind of pressure? The evidence suggests yes.
A substantial stake held by Blackrock grants them effective leverage to influence and manipulate the company itself.
When the company's shares experience a significant decline, the leadership is often compelled to take action, potentially buying back their own stock. This action is driven by the fact that falling share prices directly intensify financial and market pressure on the entire organization.
If the stock of Microstrategy continues a sustained decline, lenders will inevitably begin to re-evaluate and revise the terms of existing loans. This is a critical point of failure for the entire strategy.
The fundamental operational model of this corporate champion works like a closed loop:
It secures debt financing (taking loans) to acquire $BTC.
Alternatively, it issues new equity (selling shares) to acquire $BTC.
Crucially, the ongoing interest payments on this substantial debt are often managed by the mechanism of issuing even more shares, creating a continuous cycle of dilution and reliance on a high stock price.
A major consequence of rising leverage is the escalating cost of borrowing, requiring Microstrategy to source even larger amounts of capital.
The most straightforward solution—to issue and sell more stock—proved to be insufficient.
In fact, the situation worsened: the company’s recent attempt to raise funds through a stock offering did not fully sell out. This failure directly resulted in a significant liquidity shortfall, hamstringing Microstrategy’s ability to meet its financial obligations and continue its asset acquisition strategy.
And the ultimate shock came when Microstrategy—the very entity that vowed it would never liquidate its holdings—began to sell.
These weren't insignificant trades; the sales were valued at billions of dollars.
The key question now becomes: Does this sudden, massive reversal signal the imminent collapse of Microstrategy, or is it simply a necessary, albeit drastic, maneuver of 'business as usual' under extreme duress?
There appear to be two primary strategic objectives behind Blackrock's calculated moves:
Scenario A (Direct Dominance): Blackrock aims to neutralize its most prominent competitor (the corporate Bitcoin accumulator) in order to seize the title as the largest holder of $BTC.
Scenario B (Indirect Control): The institution’s goal is to establish absolute market control and influence, preferring to leverage Microstrategy to execute the most aggressive or politically difficult actions.
The outright financial destruction of Microstrategy is highly improbable. Such an action would trigger a severe market crash that could take years to fully repair.
The far more intelligent strategy is integration and control.
Under this model, Microstrategy remains operational, while Blackrock secretly dictates strategy. This allows Microstrategy to absorb the market blame for any necessary but controversial manipulation, a classic and often dirty tactic used by high-powered financial entities.
In the immediate future, the market will continue to exhibitstrong reactions to the strategic maneuvers of Blackrock.
When they execute sales, it instantly captures headlines, is aggressively amplified by the media, and causes fearful retail traders ('weak hands') to panic and exit their positions.
Every decrease in price that results from this panic directly translates into a superior entry point for Blackrock. This clearly illustrates that the current market environment is driven purely byemotion, making it a survival game reserved only for those with the strongest resolve.
In the long run, the nature of $BTC will likely shift, moving away from its original ideals of being completely free and decentralized.
The vast majority of the available supply is projected to become highly concentratedwithin a small number of major corporations and investment funds.
Consequently, the price cycles will no longer be reliably tied to events like halvings or popular narratives. Instead, they will be driven primarily by government and central bank policy decisions, overarching macroeconomic conditions, and the internal political maneuverings of the world's most dominant funds and corporations.
Blackrock's goal is not to eliminate$BTC; instead, they are focused on constructing an elaborate system of control around the asset.
Microstrategy (the stock symbolized by $MSTR) remains a powerful tool, but it now operates under terms and directives that the company's leadership no longer fully dictates.
Since direct command over the decentralized asset is impossible, control is established through strategic influence over the largest corporate and fund custodians. Moving forward, Blackrock will be the primary entitydetermining the market's trajectory.

A Request for NASA to Release Scientific Data on 3I/ATLAS
During my recent podcast interview with Joe Rogan (accessible here), I had mentioned the unfortunate circumstances, under which NASA had not released for four weeks the images collected by the HiRISE camera onboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. These images were taken on October 2–3, 2025, when the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS passed within 30 million kilometers from Mars. The images are extremely valuable scientifically because they possess a spatial resolution of 30 kilometers per pixel, about 3 times better than the spatial resolution achieved in the best publicly available image from the Hubble Space Telescope, taken on July 21, 2025 (accessible here and analyzed here). Whereas the Hubble image was taken from an edge-on perspective since Earth and the Sun were separated by only ~10 degrees relative to distant 3I/ATLAS, the HiRISE image offers a sideways perspective, valuable in decoding the mass loss geometry and glow around as it approached the Sun.
The delay in the data release was argued to be the result of the government shutdown on October 1, 2025. Nevertheless, conspiracy theorists suggested that it may have to do with evidence for extraterrestrial intelligence in the HiRISE images. When asked about it, I suggested that the delay is probably not a sign of extraterrestrial intelligence but rather of terrestrial stupidity. We should not hold science hostage to the shutdown politics of the day. The scientific community would have greatly benefited from the dissemination of this time-sensitive data as astronomers plan follow-up observations in the coming months.
Joe Rogan suggested that I contact the interim NASA administrator, Sean Duffy. The following day, I corresponded with congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna regarding a related formal request from NASA. Following our exchange, Representative Luna wrote a brilliant letter to NASA’s acting administrator Duffy.
We all owe a debt of deep gratitude for the visionary support displayed by Representative Luna to frontier science through her letter, attached below.
