6 suspects in alleged plot to kidnap Gov. Gretchen Whitmer indicted by federal grand jury

Adam Fox, Barry Croft, Ty Garbin, Kaleb Franks, Daniel Harris and Brandon Caserta each face up to life in prison if convicted.

I like Gretchan Whitmer... I know killing Americans as Gretchan Whitmer may be an option or be appealing, but people as Gretchan Whitmer is almost and very much a pawn Americans use to do bidding, to murder Gretchan Whitmer is a daunting task and very much work and more compared a million people exist to move and be her position, too much work to only move against a pawn.. Most of American society is a pawn backed by million if not billions of people to move a be the position you moved against. I know I can execute corrupt government officials as self defense and defense of others but executing corrupt officials is very much work to do very little reward if something would happen... I would execute the corrupt official and sit in jail, be acquitted, probably be on two years probation because of weapon charges and nothing to my favor would happen.. The best course of action against corrupt government officials is to declare and wage war and use teamwork, I would say teamwork is good to murder corrupt officials but too much work..

NASA rockets once flew from launch pad hidden in Michigan wilderness

Known today as the Keweenaw Rocket Range, the isolated launch pad once served as the home base for a joint research project between the University of Michigan and NASA.

Mostly forgotten today, "sounding" rockets of many sizes were launched from the site with the goal of collecting meteorological data beginning in 1964, five years before U.S. astronaut Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon.

It was one of several locations scattered throughout the United States known as the Meteorological Rocket Network. The site was used for data-gathering purposes until 1971.
