America vs. Socialism at #CPAC2020

America vs. Socialism at #CPAC2020

Socialism is more than a failed economic system. It promises “free” material goods but instead delivers control over every aspect of life. Conservatives often struggle to portray the true cost of socialism in terms of freedom and wasted opportunity. For a generation that doesn’t remember the Cold War or the tearful celebration when the Berlin Wall collapsed, socialism’s tremendous personal toll on millions of lives is no longer obvious. The real cost of the socialist system is the disappearance of individual liberty—the space in a free society for people to love, worship, build careers, create art and families. That cost cannot be measured on a balance sheet. Socialism destroys the economy, yes, but also humanity and freedom.

OSIRIS-REx - NASA mission to explore near-Earth asteroid Bennu and return a sample to Earth.

OSIRIS-REx - NASA mission to explore near-Earth asteroid Bennu and return a sample to Earth.

Prior to arriving at Bennu, mission planners had expected the asteroid’s surface to consist largely of fine particulate material, similar to gravel. When OSIRIS-REx arrived in December 2018, however, it was greeted by a rocky world covered with boulders. This unexpected ruggedness means that there are few places on Bennu where OSIRIS-REx can safely touch down and collect a sample. After a year of studying the asteroid, the mission announced a primary sample collection site, which they designated “Nightingale,” along with a backup site called “Osprey.” In October 2020, OSIRIS-REx will descend to Bennu and attempt to collect up to four-and-a-half pounds of loose material, for return to Earth in 2023.
