_otd-in-space-april-3-soviet-union-launches-salyut-2-space-station.jpg "On April 3, 1973, the Soviet Union launched a small space station called Salyut 2. <br/><br/>This was the second space station ever launched and the first military space station. The Soviet Union told the rest of the world that Salyut 2 was a civilian space station built for scientific research, but it was secretly intended to be a crewed military reconnaissance station. No crews ever made it to Salyut 2, though.Less than two weeks after it launched, its attitude control system stopped working, and it started tumbling around in space. Mission control noticed that pressure inside the station had dropped for no apparent reason. They later found out that a small explosion had happened in the station's propulsion system several days earlier. The damaged station was slowly falling apart. Bits and pieces of Salyut 2 fell back to Earth and burned up in the atmosphere.")

_irs-quietly-changes-the-rule-on-how-your-childrens-inheritance-will-be-taxed.jpg "The IRS issued Revenue Ruling 2023-2, which had a substantial impact on estate planning, particularly where an irrevocable trust is involved. In the last decade or so, more families have begun utilizing irrevocable trusts to protect their assets from spend-down in order to qualify for government benefits, such as Medicaid and VA Aid and Attendance.<br/><br/>Prior to the issuance of this ruling, it was unclear whether assets passing to beneficiaries through an irrevocable trust would receive a step-up in basis, thereby eliminating any capital gains taxes that would otherwise be owed. Historically, assets that are disposed of during an individual’s lifetime are subject to capital gains taxes on the increase in value of that asset over time. The amount of capital gains owed is determined largely by the difference between the value at the time of purchase and the value at the time of transfer.")

_otd-in-space-april-4-last-uncrewed-apollo-test-flight.jpg "On April 4, 1968, NASA launched the final uncrewed test flight of its Saturn V rocket. <br/><br/>The Apollo 6 mission demonstrated that the Saturn V rocket and the Apollo spacecraft were ready to send astronauts into space. On top of the rocket was the Apollo Command and Service Module and a boilerplate version of the Lunar Module. While the mission did encounter some problems, it was deemed successful enough for astronauts to be able to fly afterwards. A few minutes after launch, oscillation in some of the rocket engines caused internal fuel lines to break. This made some of the engines shut down early, but the other engines made up for this by burning longer. The spacecraft ended up in a slightly different orbit than NASA originally planned, but NASA still called the mission a success.")

It launched about a month after its twin, Pioneer 10. Both spacecraft brought along gold plaques with pictures and messages pertaining to Earth, just in case they encountered any extraterrestrials out in space. The plaques include drawings of naked humans and some symbols and diagrams that explain where the spacecraft came from. Seventeen years after it launched, it became the fourth spacecraft to leave planetary part of the solar system when it flew past Neptune. Pioneer 11 is now on its way toward interstellar space.")

The Falcon 9 rocket had completed a previous mission almost a year earlier, when it launched SpaceX's robotic Dragon cargo spacecraft to the International Space Station. The rocket booster then landed vertically on one of SpaceX's drone ships in the Atlantic Ocean, and this was the first successful drone ship landing for SpaceX. The company refurbished the rocket to prepare it for a second flight. This time the Falcon 9 launched a communications satellite called SES-10. It lifted off from Kennedy Space Center and stuck another awesome drone-ship landing after delivering the satellite into orbit.")
