President Jimmy Carter died today…may he rest in peace.
Far be it from me to demonize him, although it would not be hard to do so.
He was a successful business man and a Naval Academy grad.
But, President Jimmy Carter had many failures – one of the worst was the Desert One debacle, in addition to creating the Department of Education, and economic misery.
The failed mission of Desert One was one of the final disasters of the Carter presidency, where many U.S. servicemen died in a failed rescue attempt of the Iranian hostages.
James Earl Carter Jr., better known as Jimmy Carter, served as the 39th President of the United States from January 20, 1977, until January 20, 1981. During his political career, Carter also served as the Governor of Georgia and as a Member of the Georgia State Senate. After leaving the White House, the former President founded the Carter Center nonprofit organization with the goal of advancing human rights and alleviate suffering. In relation to this work, Carter received a Nobel Peace Prize in 2002.
Early in the Space Race, before the formation of NASA and even when the new organization was getting off the ground, the U.S. military took the lead on rocket development and space exploration. The Army, Air Force and Navy all had their own individual projects and studies. And the Air Force once proposed creating a weapons system on the Moon with the express purpose of bombing Earth.
Task & Purpose has previously dived into the ambitious Space Race plans for militarizing the Moon.
The Air Force is expanding the number of career fields eligible for large retention and reenlistment bonuses in the new fiscal year, in an effort to hold onto skilled troops when their talents are in demand elsewhere.
The Department of the Air Force released a memo listing 89 career fields in the U.S. Air Force in the 2025 fiscal year, up from 73 the previous one. The expanded list went into effect on Dec. 16, according to Ann Stefanek, an Air Force spokesperson. The jobs range from signal intelligence to nuclear weapons to maintenance for combat drones.
