The final point of many space missions is an extremely isolated spot in the South Pacific Ocean, where spacecraft are splashed down and never seen again. Much of the focus on the upcoming SpaceX Crew-9 mission has been on a potential delay and whether or not two seats will be left empty for Boeing (BA) Starliner’s stranded crew. When SpaceX’s Dragon returns to Earth in 2025, its unoccupied trunk will be jettisoned into this spacecraft cemetery.

ANDY MILLS (AM): Home Depot is concerned about consumer spending. How concerned should investors be about consumer spending?. CAROL SCHLEIF (CS): I think it’s something to watch because you’re clearly seeing fraying both between the high-end consumers because one of the things you’ll see from some of the other earnings reports is that those high end consumers aren’t necessarily vacationing here. They’re going overseas because of the stronger dollar. Low-end and middle consumers are really struggling at the margin and they’ve used up a lot of those pandemic savings. And so it’s tough out there for a lot of people. And the retail numbers we’ll get on Thursday are gonna tell us a lot about the durability. And the other thing that’s really notable is that consumers have been telling pollsters that they’re really crabby and mad about the price increases for years and yet they’re still spending.

Hell, the deck alone seems nicer than my apartment. This, ladies, gentlemen, and everyone in between, is the Wildwood & Salem 42Veranda travel trailer by Forest River. This behemoth is not meant to be regularly towed around, though. It’s actually meant to be towed to a destination and parked there for long-term mobile home living.
