Video of Chinese Space Station Assembly
(Sorry that I had to send you to X/Twitter, but HEO seems to have posted only to that platform in order to maximize its social score.)
The construction is impressive - both in scope and in speed (contrasted to Artemis' biennial test launch schedule).
And just think: You too are making contributions to this auspicious effort with every trip to Dollar General, Family Dollar, WalMart, et al...
CGEM (w HyperTune and ADM bling) / 2x CG5-AGT / Forest of Tripod legs / Star Adventurer / Orion EQ-G
550D (Modded-G.Honis) / 60D / 400D / NexImage / NexGuide / Mini 50 SSAG / ST-8300C / ASI120MM-S / ASI1600MM-Cool
Dark Skies in SW CO when I can get there, and badly light polluted backyard when I can't... (Currently Self-Exiled to Muggy Central Florida...)

Scopes; Tiny little Mak-Cass Celestron c90 spotter scope that lets me count the moons of Jupiter and with which I can see Saturns rings in Mickey Mouse phase
Old Meade 1000mm f/11 that was missing the finder scope and ring so I rigged one onto the barrel using duct tape and a bit of cardboard and that actually works and I can count the moons of Jupiter with this one too.
Meade 6" reflector,(really elderly), found at a yard sale, the tube is a bucket of rust and corroded mirror but the mount and tripod will be recoverable so hooray for that.
Cameras; Mamiya medium format 645 with a couple of polaroid backs and a series of wide angle to 50mm lenses
Konica-Minolta 35mm,Sony alpha dslr's, up to the a900 full frame, mostly got them used because I don't have much money.

Re: Video of Chinese Space Station Assembly
From my recollection, Canadian Tire was only about 50% Imported.
Tractor Supply hadn't entered any part of Canada that I lived in - until after I headed South.
(But don't worry, those TSC will all be Peavey Marts soon enough...)
