Rusty is the best!

[Andy Saunders - Apollo Remastered @AndySaunders_1]

A very HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Apollo 9's Rusty Schweickart!
Born October 25, 1935.
Here he is during his EVA on March 6, 1969, beautifully lit by the pale blue reflected light from Earth.
Rusty was also responsible for another very important photograph...1/2

Floor it!

NASA’s Psyche spacecraft has fired up its thrusters and is accelerating to the metal-rich asteroid of the same name. Learn more about Psyche’s solar-powered propulsion system, which uses electromagnetic fields to steadily deliver thrust: https://t.co/MifXRy1npL

PDOOM is a great music video slopcore with a very SILO like ending. These are getting so good. https://t.co/xVaci6Qsxw

It’s our birthday this month – a very special birthday! 🎉

Caltech JPL = 90 years of audacious missions that have transformed humanity’s understanding of the universe and our home planet - that have driven scientific and technological progress that has changed the world.

No hyperbole.

How do we create a future with tech that actually serves humanity and the planet? On Oct 22, join
@baratunde (creator of How to Citizen & Life With Machines) alongside Google CTO of Technology & Society @blaiseaguera for "On Interdependence": a 10,000-year look at civic action, Indigenous wisdom, and human survival.

[UC Berkeley @UCBerkeley]

UC Berkeley’s Space Sciences Laboratory (@ucbssl) is one of only two university-based centers in the U.S. capable of managing the full life cycle of a satellite mission.

Watch how SSL leads @NASA missions like ESCAPADE — the first dual-satellite mission to another planet, headed to Mars.

“Publicly funded research belongs to all of us.”

Arati Prabhakar led DARPA, NIST, and the White House science office. Now she is defending the public commitment to research, and what it means for democracy.

[Victor Glover @AstroVicGlover]

Trust is the real “fuel” of every mission. We had trust in the tech, trust in the team, and I trust in God. Easy to say after the fact, but we lived it. Thank you 🙏🏾💙🧡🇺🇸

@AlexKsendzovsky congrats!

A boy in Sri Lanka races home from school, hoping @NASAJPL has written back. One day, an envelope arrives. Inside: photographs of Jupiter and Saturn.

That boy, @DrRayJay, now leads @Caltech, which manages JPL.

[Christopher Michel @chrismichel]

People I admire: @stevenstrogatz

I love how much Steven cares. About mathematics, about understanding something difficult, about the people who spend their lives trying.

Hearing him wrestle with what AI means for that work gets at something I feel as a photographer. The years spent learning to see matter. So does the pleasure of figuring something out for yourself.

I admire his willingness to speak about the grief alongside the excitement, even without knowing where it all leads.

Worth watching. https://t.co/8hoJGYsgCi
