Artemis II astronauts proposed naming a lunar crater "Carroll" after mission commander Reid Wiseman's late wife, Carroll Taylor Wiseman, a NICU registered nurse who died of cancer in 2020 at age 46.

It looks as though the men have only produced daughters. I wonder if flying high performance aircraft has more than a casual biological connection, or if this is just a statistical anomaly.

Apparently there's something in the western cigarette manufacturing that affects sperm in a way that causes men who started smoking when they hit puberty (ages 12 - 15) - they don't produce the Y chromosome to regularly father boys.
I suspect there's a lot of external stressor situations, not just drug use, that affects the production of chromosomes in sperm.

Like if a society is under stress, it's more important for females to be produced to maximize the potential for both adaptive evolution and species survival.

This country needs great people like Joe to steer the ship....
Everytime I see his photo in the oval ofc I get a great wave of nostalgia for what it was like to live and sleep in peace.
