We see our home planet as a whole, lit up in spectacular blues and browns. A green aurora even lights up the atmosphere. That's us, together, watching as our astronauts make their journey to the Moon.
Artemis II astronauts are doing great. The Orion spacecraft is performing well in an impressive elliptical orbit, and the @NASA_Johnson Mission Control team is taking good care of the crew. Meanwhile, back at @NASAKennedy, the teams are out at the pad getting ready for what comes next. We are going to get into a rhythm of launching Moon rockets around here 🇺🇸
I understand that watching people my age and older yell at each other is entertaining, but did you know that Senator Thune is keeping the Senate in "pro forma" (fake) sessions? This is being done to prevent Trump from making recess appointments, and to block his agenda.
Will be interesting to see how long this takes (and how well it works)
Elon's known for building massive infrastructure crazy quick, but a 2nm fab is something else.
🚨We can’t let what’s happening in Iran distract us from the need to:
(1) put the SAVE America Act on the Senate floor,
(2) make filibustering senators speak, and
(3) stay on it until it passes

The non-space press missed the key elements of Isaacman’s revamp of Artemis. They perceived it as some sort of delay, which is wrong. Technically it was Sean Duffy who moved the lunar landing to 2028 last year. But in reality, under his plans, there was no chance of an Artemis landing this decade. The dates were all fiction. Isaacman is changing things to make a 2028 or 2029 landing possible. That nuance may be hard for some to grasp, but it is reality.
To understand why Trump attacked Iran, you must understand CRINK - the new Axis Powers of China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea.
By taking out Iran, Trump took even more oil from China that it MUST have. He also damaged Russia's drone manufacturing capabilities (Iran designs drones for Russia. Ukraine should be thankful).
And that is just a fraction of Trump's full plan. China and Russia's BRICS alliance recently lost India, a key player, to Trump. And their two greatest allies in the West - Venezuela and Cuba - have either fallen or are nearing collapse. Iran is just the latest piece of the puzzle.
There are many, many problems with the SLS rocket architecture, but one of the biggest is its extremely low flight rate, which makes every fueling and launch an experimental rather than operational procedure.

@Not_the_Bee The problem is that standards were lowered to meet DEI requirements, causing people to DIE.
Whoever can pass the same (very high) standards for being a commercial pilot should be allowed to be a pilot, but lowering the standards to meet quotas is de facto committing mass murder.
🚨 HOLY CRAP. Ilhan Omar’s “winery” suspiciously surged in value from practically zero to $5 MILLION DOLLARS in a year — despite NO physical winery, phone line, social media, barely functioning website and *NO WINE*
This is why she’s scared. PROSECUTE!
