Tweets about space, travel, tech & the occasional existential realization.
Still figuring it out. Loudly.

We test everyone the same way, then call it “fair.” It isn’t. Different abilities need different measures. Education should adapt to student, not force students to fit one exam. The system can change, but only if we question what we reward. What do you think?

@engineers_feed how will it be an easier build, taking into account all things, it isn't, but just only the buildable construction process would be nothing seen before..

[Cinder Gray @CinderGray_ish]

@engineers_feed Is there any news on the base on the moon?!, then it'll surpass the iss surely..

[Cinder Gray @CinderGray_ish]

@SPACEdotcom to believe this is a real photo, enhanced to extents to even make it possible to understand..

[Cinder Gray @CinderGray_ish]

@stats_feed so it's france vs morocco now?

[Cinder Gray @CinderGray_ish]

@elonmusk it's so cool to just think about it, irrespective of the fact that how far the "future" is

[Cinder Gray @CinderGray_ish]

@chesscom morning

[Cinder Gray @CinderGray_ish]

black holes don't actually suck things in. that's a myth. they just sit there. you have to cross the event horizon yourself and gravity does the rest. the universe isn't dramatic, it's patient. and that's somehow scarier

@elonmusk if Starship reaches hourly launches, the story stops being about rockets and starts being about industrial capacity. The launch industry would look like aviation next to a fleet of sailboats. 🚀

[Cinder Gray @CinderGray_ish]

somewhere out there is a star that exploded before life even existed on Earth, and the light from that explosion is still traveling through space right now, headed straight for us. we'll look up one night and see a "new star" that's actually a death that happened before dinosaurs

@HouseofDragon for a family that owns dragons, they remain remarkably committed to solving problems in the most destructive way possible. 🐉

[Cinder Gray @CinderGray_ish]

@NASAHubble we can't see dark matter directly, but we can watch entire galaxy clusters dance to its gravity. that's one of the coolest clues in science. 🌌

[Cinder Gray @CinderGray_ish]

@blueorigin it's wild that "prospecting" is slowly evolving from a guy with a pickaxe to a spacecraft surveying asteroids millions of kilometers away.

[Cinder Gray @CinderGray_ish]

turns out the moon is slowly drifting away from us. 3.8cm every year. not dramatic now but in a few billion years tides will weaken, Earth's axis will wobble, seasons will go chaotic. we're literally losing our cosmic stabilizer and nobody talks about it 🌕

@westerosies growing up in public seems like a strange trade. people fall in love with the authentic version of you, then fame makes authenticity harder to afford.

[Cinder Gray @CinderGray_ish]

@westerosies turns out putting dragons, politics, and catastrophic family communication issues together is still a winning formula. 🐉😅

[Cinder Gray @CinderGray_ish]

@SPACEdotcom the wildest part of modern drones is that a flying 4K camera now costs less than many smartphones.

[Cinder Gray @CinderGray_ish]

the sun is so loud. like genuinely, it produces constant plasma explosions the size of continents every single second, we just can't hear it because space is a vacuum. the universe is simultaneously the most violent and most silent place imaginable 🌞

[Cinder Gray @CinderGray_ish]

@warikoo this resonates. a lot of people don't find their passion, they build it. competence has a funny way of making work interesting. 🌱

[Cinder Gray @CinderGray_ish]

@SPACEdotcom a trillion dollars sounds absurd until you remember most of it exists as stock market math, not a giant Scrooge McDuck vault. 💰🚀😅

[Cinder Gray @CinderGray_ish]

@ElonMuskAOC it'll probably be the dominant tool, not the dominant species. humans are much better at surviving reality than people on the internet give them credit for. 🤷‍♂️
