At some earlier point, We discussed the potentiality of a Space Force Academy.

Last night's news stated that the President wants a "Space Academy." No location was mentioned. Where should it be built?

I have some thoughts:

1. San Francisco. The Star Trek fan in me makes me think San Francisco. There are more practical reasons to build it there.

2. Andover, Maine. More nostalgia with this choice. It was the location for Earth Station Andover, built to communicate with the Telstar Satellite.

3. Florida Space Coast.

4. Houston, Texas.

Thoughts?

Trivia question: Name the 5 great lakes of North America?

Hello,
I completed the Modern States course and received a voucher for the Sociology CLEP. After registering for the CLEP, I realized that Sociology is also offered as a TECEP. Since I’ve been using TECEPs to fill as many RA credits as possible, I decided to register for the TECEP as well.

I scheduled both exams back-to-back this weekend. However, after doing some additional research, I feel well prepared for the CLEP but may not be as prepared for the TECEP.

My concern is that if I take and fail the TECEP, I may no longer be able to use the Sociology CLEP to fulfill the requirement. Does anyone know if failing the TECEP would prevent me from later using the CLEP for the same subject?

When the Strait of Hormuz was cut off to shipping, that took 20 million barrels of oil a day off the market.

China quietly, through reduced imports and other measures, managed to save the world from $150–$200-a-barrel oil and massive shortages.

I would like to take one math course at a time at the graduate level, but I'm not sure how to go about this. I don't think I can do two courses at a time because for math, it would just be too much, especially online where I can't talk to the teacher in the classroom and who knows how often they will be available. And I have to work, of course.

The biggest issue is the cost. To take one course at a time is probably the most expensive way to do it. 

I know that Emporia and Northwest Missouri State University are usually recommended here, but I wasn't sure if anything has changed. I don't want an education degree. The University of Texas Permian Basin also has a math program now at the graduate level. 

Between all three, the cost isn't that different from what I saw.

Curious about what other people are doing.

Kind of a shame it costs so much to attend an out-of-state college.

Do you still read books or use AI to summarize them?

Was scrolling reddit the other day and I found a post that was talking about affordable schools and I found a link which is a database of community colleges that offer bachelors degrees. A lot of these schools have fully online bachelors as low as $179 a credit and possible lower if you live within that state.
