@K_DeRosa_NY135 @wxbywilliams We had a tree fall blocking our only way in or out of my neighborhood. River Meadow Dr in Henrietta. Town crew came out quickly and it has already been cleared.

@news10nbc Tree down blocking the only way out of my neighborhood. River Meadow Dr in Henrietta. Crews are already working to clear it.

@DJSnM @SciGuySpace Do you think flex tape might help as an added layer after they drill and epoxy?

@News_8 Why was he in Walworth? Was he lost?

@smartereveryday As am I. This is my very first astrophotography photo using my old Jason 60mm refractor. If only I’d had my Dwarf Mini back then. The images would have been spectacular!

This is great news from Blue Origin.

Some LC-36 updates. Now that we’ve had access to the pad and integration facility we can share a bit of good news. The propellant farm, oxygen, liquid hydrogen and LNG tanks are all in good shape. This is good luck because these are very long lead items. The water tower is also good. The big support tower is damaged, but it can be repaired in place rather than torn down and replaced. The booster “Never Tell Me The Odds” and the three GS-2s that were onsite in the integration facility also look good.

I’ve seen some speculation that we might move directly to the 9x4 configuration, but we won’t do that. Rate manufacturing of 7x2 is going well, and we’re going to continue that at pace as planned and store the stages for use. In addition, we had already been working for some time on eliminating our transporter-erector in favor of an alternative vertical conop, and we’ll now go directly to that; so we don’t need a new transporter-erector.

We will fly again before the end of this year. Gradatim Ferociter.

@esherifftv @asherbphotos The damage is catastrophic. It’s probably worse than even the aerial photos show. Eric Burger just posted that he was told that Never Tell Me The Odds was also damaged in the HIF facility. 😔

@paperclip9000 @SciGuySpace Thank you for clarifying.

[Chris Chamberlain @AstroSurveyor]

@TPUSA We all know how well that worked out in Venezuela.

@DJSnM They had a lot of ‘Failure is not an option’ merchandise for sale at the Udvar-Hazy Air & Space Museum gift shop too.

@SciGuySpace It’s possible there will never be a person from the baby boom generation who will walk on the moon.

[Chris Chamberlain @AstroSurveyor]

@esherifftv Amazing! Looks like it made it through reentry without a scratch. or burn mark on it. Hoping they go for a catch next time!

@WHAM1180 Dumbass with extensive criminal history whines to media after interfering with a federal law enforcement operation.

@DJSnM I asked Grok and it said it would end the chain and kill the 16+ million people to prevent it from ever getting exponentially worse.

[Chris Chamberlain @AstroSurveyor]

@AJamesMcCarthy Really having a hard time believing they are going to be able to land something that big on the moon without it tipping over. Then again, we once thought a booster couldn’t be landed on a drone ship so who knows.

[Chris Chamberlain @AstroSurveyor]

@NASAAdmin @NASA_Marshall @NASAKennedy How soon can we expect the crew announcement for Artemis III?

[Chris Chamberlain @AstroSurveyor]

I live in Henrietta and I hate how my town has become the “model“ of the cannabis industry in New York. Basically we are now the pot capital of New York State. Our local taxes should’ve gone down substantially instead of being kept flat. Now the town is used to the additional revenue and when it doesn’t materialize.…

[Andrew McCarthy @AJamesMcCarthy]

I'm thrilled to share this unique collaboration with Artemis Il astronaut @astro_reid.

Artemis II was a unique opportunity to get high-quality imagery of the moon, and Reid was gracious enough to capture some special image sets for me during the lunar flyby.

[Chris Chamberlain @AstroSurveyor]

@Astro_ChrisW @Space_Station Looks like a very substantial piece of debris. Any idea what it could have been @planet4589?
