« Older: President Donald Trump Is Reversing Credential Inflation in the Federal Workforce June 30, 2020 | Huntsville, AL – NASA has taken the next steps toward building Space Launch System (SLS) solid rocket boosters to support as many as six additional flights, for a total of up to nine Artemis missions. The agency is continuing to work with Northrop Grumman of Brigham City, Utah, the current lead contractor for the solid rocket boosters that will launch the first three Artemis missions, including the mission that will land the first woman and next man on the Moon in 2024. Exploration Ground System teams are processing the Artemis I booster segments and preparing to stack them with forward and aft assemblies at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The Space Launch System (SLS) rocket booster segments arrived on June 15th by trains traveling from Utah near Northrop Grumman’s facility where they were manufactured.

Jamal Crawford #11 of the Phoenix Suns (Photo by Michael Gonzales/NBAE via Getty Images) As the Houston Rockets round out their roster, should they be interested in Jamal Crawford, who has prior experience with Mike D’Antoni? The NBA’s “transaction window” is quickly coming to a screeching halt, as it’s set to end on June 30th. The Houston Rockets have made good use of this time, as they added 3-and-D guard David Nwaba, while releasing developmental prospect and fan favorite Isaiah Hartenstein. At just 27-years-old, Nwaba provides plenty of reason for excitement in the coming years. But Nwaba won’t be able to make any contributions for the Rockets when the league resumes in Orlando, as he’s still recovering from a torn Achilles, which will sideline him for the duration of the 2019-20 season. But the Rockets’ pursuit of Nwaba further validated the fact that Rockets GM Daryl Morey is targeting guards, particularly combo guards. Prior to signing Nwaba, the Rockets were rumored to...

DuBOIS — A one-hit gem from starting pitcher Braiden Blair paired with a nine-run bottom of the first led DuBois to a 13-1 victory in six innings over Kuntz Motor Company at Showers Field Sunday evening. Blair was dominant over the first five innings on the mound, allowing just one base runner through that stretch on a one-out walk in the second inning. After forcing the leadoff batter in the top of the sixth to groundout to short, Josh Shaffer reached on a walk before Tyler Libby reached on an error to put two runners on with one away. After Blair struck out the following batter, Spencer Hoover hit a bloop single into shallow left field as Shaffer narrowly beat a throw to the plate to score Kuntz Motors’ lone run of the game. Hunter Tkacik then drew a walk to load the bases before Blair picked him off at first to end the inning. “He (Blair) came right at them with fastballs early and he was pumping strikes all day long and wasn’t behind in many counts,” DuBois manage...

HOUSTON – The Houston Rockets’ revised schedule is loaded with some of the top opponents in the NBA. The team will play on national TV six out of the seven games in Orlando with game 8 against the 76ers, also likely to be played on TV. Here’s a look at the Rockets’ schedule: July 31 - Dallas Mavericks One of the Rockets’ natural rivals and division rivals have been revived by superstar guard Luka Doncic, but the Slovenian star has been called “out of shape” by his trainer. The Mavs are 1.5 games behind the Rockets in the West and will be hungry for a win. August 2 - Milwaukee Bucks The Milwaukee Bucks have the best record in the NBA and the league’s reigning MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo. This one will be heated after James Harden and Antetokounmpo took shots at each other. August 4 - Portland Trailblazers The Blazers are on the outside looking in for the playoffs and need to make a run to overtake the Memphis Grizzlies. Guard Damian Lillard will be hungry in this game. August...

The Houston Rockets and seven other NBA teams will travel to the neutral Disney complex near Orlando on Thursday, July 9 to prepare for the restart of the 2019-20 regular season on July 30. The timeline was first reported this week by Shams Charania of The Athletic . The list of teams arriving on July 9 also includes the Milwaukee Bucks and Los Angeles Lakers, who have this season’s two best records to date and are among Houston’s biggest competitors for the title. The 22 teams involved in the restart plan are having their arrival times staggered to promote physical distancing amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Upon arrival, everyone must stay isolated in their hotel rooms until they return two negative COVID-19 tests at least 24 hours apart. That means the Rockets will begin conventional group practices on Saturday, July 11, or two days after their arrival in Florida.

James Harden is trying to squeeze out what’s left of his mid-season break before the NBA returns next month. The Houston Rockets superstar was seen cruising around the highways of Houston with his favorite toys alongside some of his buddies, including rapper Lil Baby.

Just the 2018 NBA MVP for the Rockets rolling on Lamborghinis with 2020 Grammy nominated Lil Baby. Harden has been in his home in Houston since the regular season was halted for the Rockets last March as the COVID-19 pandemic hit the US. The star for the Rockets has been making the most out of the break by aiding local relief efforts in Houston and has also been letting off some steam as the lockdown protocols have slowly been eased out. That’s definitely a great way to practice some social distancing. The NBA is set to return within a month’s time and teams will...

The Houston Rockets have always played like the team of the future. They were the pioneers of the three-point revolution and the poster child for using advanced analytics to make their personnel decisions. But while they’re always looking ahead, they’re clearly still trying to recreate the successes they had in the past.  The Rockets have had a lot of great moments throughout their franchise’s history. Let’s revisit some of them, shall we? Here are the top 5 moments in Rockets History: Honorable Mention – Rookie Yao Ming stands up to Shaq There was so much hype surrounding Yao Ming coming into the 2002 draft. He was certainly a dominant figure in his native China and literally towered over anyone at 7’6. The question was whether it would translate to success at the NBA level. The Chinese big man had a solid freshman campaign but really announced his arrival during his first match-up against The Big Diesel – Shaquille O’Neal. Yao really gave it to Shaq in the opening minutes,...

Leave it to Daryl Morey to use the transaction window — set up to help round out rosters for the restart in Orlando — to add a piece for next season. Tuesday, the Rockets signed David Nwaba to a two-year deal. The story was broken by Shams Charania of The Athletic and later confirmed by the Rockets themselves. Roster Update: Rockets GM Daryl Morey today announced that the team has signed free agent guard/forward David Nwaba. The Rockets have waived center Isaiah Hartenstein. 📝 https://t.co/hJWlRWD7No pic.twitter.com/LNpP7ap35R — Houston Rockets (@HoustonRockets) June 24, 2020 The Rockets had a full roster heading to Orlando, so to make room for Nwaba they cut center Isaiah Hartenstein. While Hartenstein showed some promise, the center does not fit with the Rockets’ small-ball game. The Nwaba signing is not about the restart, he will not lace them up in Orlando (but still make $903,000). He was carving out a growing spot in the Brooklyn rotation back in December when he tore hi...

When the Houston Rockets selected Robert Horry over Harold Miner with the No. 11 pick in the 1992 NBA Draft, the decision was initially met with loud boos at the team’s draft party for fans at The Summit. Those boos from June 24, 1992 didn’t age well. Nicknamed “Baby Jordan,” Miner was an athletic specimen. In his third and final college season at USC in 1991-92, the 6-foot-5 shooting guard was a consensus first-team All-American and the Pac-10 Player of the Year. Miner averaged 26.3 points and 7.0 rebounds per game that season. By comparison, Horry’s college production was more modest. As a senior at Alabama, the 6-foot-10 forward averaged 15.8 points (47.0% FG, 35.0% on 3-pointers), 8.5 rebounds, and 3.5 blocks per game. When Houston’s pick arrived and both were available, nearly everyone expected Rockets GM Steve Patterson to select Miner. The list of shocked faces even included Horry himself, who said at the time: I looked at the board, and there was all this big-name talent...

For nearly two decades Julius Jones has been sitting on Oklahoma’s death row after being convicted of killing a prominent businessman in the suburbs of Oklahoma City in 1999. Jones has always proclaimed his innocence—but a recent push led by community activists, celebrities and NBA stars to re-examine the case has thrust Jones’s conviction into the spotlight. Those in support of the Oklahoma man point to what they believe was racial bias, a flawed investigation and a defense that was severely lacking as they advocate for justice for Jones, who has already exhausted his appeals. “The only remedy available at this moment is the clemency process and in October we filed a commutation application with the Oklahoma Pardon and Parole Board asking it to recommend that Julius’ sentence be commuted to time served,” Jones’ attorney Dale Baich told Oxygen.com. NBA stars such as Blake Griffin, Russell Westbrook, Trae Young and Buddy Hield have all penned letters to Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt...
