Conservative Kansas legislators are pushing back more aggressively this year on LGBTQ-rights issues than in the past two years.

Kelly was sworn in last and stuck with a pattern in major speeches of promoting bipartisanship after narrowly winning reelection in November. The times demand it.”The ceremony also will cap a big political comeback for Kris Kobach, the new attorney general. He lost the 2018 governor's race to Kelly and then a GOP primary for an open U.S. Senate seat in 2020. Kelly is scheduled to outline her legislative agenda in the annual State of the State address Wednesday evening. “We cannot let the hostility and anger that has poisoned our national politics spread here to Kansas,” Kelly said in her inaugural address.

TITUSVILLE, Fla. - The Rocket Garden at Kennedy Space Center Complex is where you'll see rockets such as the Juno I & II, Delta and Saturn 1B -- a launch vehicle commissioned by NASA for the Apollo program. "The Apollo 7 mission actually launched on a Saturn 1B from Cape Canaveral Air Force station. It is the only one not to have launched from Kennedy Space Center proper and that was the first crewed mission that launched in the Apollo program," Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex digital and content manager Christine Selby Regan said. My mom's roommate in the hospital in New York where I was born, she said she should name me Apollo -- Apollo Edelstein would've been kind of a weird name but it was great," Edelstein said. At the Rocket Garden, visitors get an up close and personal look into some of NASA'S rockets.
