We've never seen anything like this recording of a landing on another world. @fireflyspace

[Scott Manley @DJSnM]

@UnwantedBlog Yeah this was NASA's Electronic Scene Generation System. It could render about 200 polygons.

@colonelmanic @sterngrovefest She asked me to bring her a sandwich.

[Scott Manley @DJSnM]

So, a bit of a longshot, for my Bay Area followers, does anyone have a spare ticket to the @sterngrovefest show today?
My daughter is working back stage and I didn’t win tickets in lottery, and had to be out of town last week for the community ticket drop.
Would like to see her… and of course Major Lazer, because I love that stuff.

These displays were smart enough to stay below the fog layer

@ClappDescendant That might explain my belly not being as trim as it used to be

[Scott Manley @DJSnM]

Is there a name for the condition where you really love super spicy food but get hiccups from eating super spicy food.

[Scott Manley @DJSnM]

@AlastairMayer 15 stars and 15 stripes.
The idea of adding strips for every states was abandoned in 1818

[Scott Manley @DJSnM]

I loved seeing the Red Arrows videos yesterday, but judging by a lot of comments it looks like the US education system is failing to teach the war of 1812.

@BillyBe24919109 I heard that story, but it’s not true, the White House was being whitewashed before it was burned in 1814

[Scott Manley @DJSnM]

@Geekatlrg It’s funny how the people who are saying things like this are the ones most likely to have forgotten that whole ‘burning Washington’ thing.

[Scott Manley @DJSnM]

@areoinfo I should have put this in my video!

@rob67991455 Last summer is was clear, I think the SF pyrotechnics people need to come up with low altitude display options that can be swapped in quickly.

[Scott Manley @DJSnM]

We knew the weather was going to be like this weeks ahead, this raised the pyrotechnics up higher so they disappeared into the fog sooner.
They'd have been better dropping yellow sparks down from the deck, like a 'Golden Gate'. Have that as a backdrop to a surface display.

[San Francisco Chronicle @sfchronicle]

Fireworks display off the Golden Gate Bridge for the third time in celebration of America’s 250th birthday in San Francisco on the Fourth of July.

@megagoose11 There are surprisingly few photos from 1776.

[Scott Manley @DJSnM]

I knew what the weather was going to do, and I planned appropriately.

That's the best history of the Centaur.

@robertoblake As someone on the content creation treadmill I find the real cost of travel is the amount of time I need to plan for video making.

[Scott Manley @DJSnM]

@lelandlives I know the mechanism, but I'd never found a medical name for the condition.

[A Capitol Fourth @July4thPBS]

The National Symphony Orchestra performs the iconic theme from The Right Stuff, celebrating the trailblazing legacy of @NASA and the spirit of exploration that continues today through @NASAArtemis.
