This satellite pass had a slightly better elevation than the earlier one. The marine layer is starting to fade. The pass was captured from Tongva Park (in honor of the indigenous peoples of coastal southern California). During most of the satellite capture a woman was loudly ranting at a police officer. Sometimes I feel like ranting too. Under the topic of "government efficiency" defunding the EPA's Energy Star program is the latest casualty. The program costs the government $32 million, while saving American consumers $40 billion annually. Maybe I missed something on efficiency, but that sounds like for every dollar the government spends on the program, consumers benefit $350. California's goal of selling only new electric vehicles by 2035 is also up in the air. And the defunding of NOAA may also result in NOAA 18 being turned off. From space, everything seems so peaceful. I guess appearances may deceive.
