This past weekend, the eyes of the world were on Paris as the Olympic Games began, heralded by the lighting of the Olympic torch. Passing from one bearer to the next, the passing of the torch symbolizes the bonds we share between us, in spite of differences in geography, age, race or gender. It’s those same bonds we share with those we love that inspires us to protect them after we’re gone. Just as the torch passes from one bearer to another, a joint life Orbiter Income annuity and Equilibrium Plus rider can allow us to pass income payments on to our spouses. We may not be able to be there physically to provide for them any longer, but we’ll know that the annual payments they’ll receive from their rider won’t change, allowing them to maintain their standard of living, providing warmth and comfort at a time when it’s needed most. Even when you’re no longer here, an Orbiter Income annuity can act as a guiding light to a more secure financial future.

If one perceives the cost of victory to be exorbitant, it is likely that the true struggle resides within oneself!
We stand in awe today as the SpaceX Polaris Dawn mission triumphantly reaches space, with the crew now engaging in a spacewalk—a breathtaking achievement that catapults humanity into a new era. This is not just a moment of victory but a resounding testament to the power of human ingenuity and perseverance. As we break free from the bonds of Earth, we celebrate the relentless pursuit of those who refuse to be confined by the past, choosing instead to chase the future, to ensure the survival of our species. This mission speaks to the soul of humanity, to those who toil for progress, for peace, and for the promise of a better tomorrow. It is a defiant stand against the forces that sow misery, a call to embrace the limitless potential we hold. To the dreamers, the visionaries, and the brave souls who chart this course for all of us—we salute you. The stars are not the limit; they are just the beginning. #SpaceXPolarisDawn #SpaceWalk #HumanProgress #FutureOfHumanity #PeaceAndInnovation #BeyondBoundaries #HopeInTheStars

Orion is the soon to be launched new transport system to the lunar surface, and eventually to Mars. Orion has a number of flights planned, of which the first one is shown here. ESM 1 (shown here) is the unmanned pilot mission flying around the moon. It is followed soon by ESM 2 which will have astronauts orbiting the moon and ESM 3 and 4 which will eventually bring astronaut finally back to the lunar surface. As can be seen the animation at the end focusses on the back part of the S/C rather than the front (which will re-enter into the Earth’s atmosphere). This is because the rear part, or the service module, is the part developed and delivered by Europe.
Return to the Moon with Orion

Five Nations https://lnkd.in/dH-5q_A8 In the distant future, when humans began to explore space, they encountered four other races. Neutrality was established between them, but conflicts over inhabited planets and resources were commonplace in the vastness of space. In Five Nations you will command a starfleet of earthlings. Your task is to build a base orbiting one of the planets that will become the center of your fleet and help expand its influence. In the process of building your base you'll need to extract various resources, develop and upgrade your fleet. Eventually you will have to engage in combat against other races, and here you must effectively use your ships to take over their bases and planets.

Jeff's Short (not quite a blog 👨🚀): A few years ago, India’s Chandrayaan-2 orbiter captured images of the Apollo 11 and 12 landing sites (1969) on the moon. As the photo shows, the Apollo missions left evidence behind. They left their mark. What will be your professional mark? What evidence do you want to leave behind? As a property owner, will you leave your building in better shape than you received it? As a broker, will you mentor those coming up behind you? As a business owner, will your positive impact on the community continue? The mark I want to leave is this: Jeff was a guy who helped people. I want that to be my legacy. Whether it’s from the simple things –– like giving advice to get a building ready for lease or sale –– or more complex –– finding a creative solution to a stuck deal. Bottom line, I want people to reach their potential and meet their goals, so I’m here to help. As the US Olympic gymnasts say after a hit routine, “Let’s go!” #CEGspaces #veteranowned #CommercialRealEstate #broker #BNI #AbsoluteConnections #CommercialRealEstateBlog #letsgo #leaveyourmark

We all came into this world the same naked, scared and ignorant. After that grand entrance, the life we end up with is simply an accumulation of all the choices we make. Our choices can be our best friends or our worst enemy. They can deliver us to our goals or send us orbiting into a galaxy far, far away.
