When I try to explain to people what is the value of what I do:

@HalenMattison @macjshiggins As a space laser telecom guy, scattering and other types of losses do not compensate the gain increase. As a space enthusiast guy, GIMME THE GIANT GREEN LASER FROM THE SKY!

Wild footage filmed by a passenger onboard a nearby plane captured today’s launch of Artemis ll from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center on Merritt Island, Florida.

[OSINTdefender @sentdefender]

Artemis ll, the first manned Lunar Mission by the United States since the 1970s, has successfully lifted off from Launch Pad 39B at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, bound for a journey around the Moon.

This is why we go to the Moon.

@Ascii211 @MarcoReps What are your Allan dev requirements/masks?

[NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman @NASAAdmin]

After 50 days on the job, visits to every NASA center, a dozen town halls, and reviewing thousands of workforce submissions, it is clear there is much we can do to better empower our people and focus resources on the most pressing objectives.

Getting back to the Moon means getting back to the basics. NASA must regain its core competencies in technical, engineering, and operational excellence, and in doing so, we’ll save up to $1B a year to fund more missions of world-changing science and discovery.

With the directive issued today, we are strengthening the NASA team and executing urgently on the President’s national space policy.

I recently learned the USGS has free aerial LiDAR data for many areas. Draw a box, then click the green button on the right side and select Eptium viewer. https://t.co/iY4QCNQ12S

Everyone knows that the Space Launch System uses reflown Space Shuttle parts.

But I feel people arent able to grasp just how much history goes into the rocket set to send humans around the Moon for the first time in 53 years.

So heres a thread on the reused parts of Artemis II:

Airbus' Pleiades NEO 3 satellite captured 30cm resolution imagery of SLS rolling out to the pad today along with imagery of LC-39A & LC-39B at 16:24:26 UTC.

“Not to scale” is for quitters. I’m going to show people the actual Artemis 2 trajectory (work in progress, click to see the whole thing)

Travelling sucks, but it’s so good to get to see people you connect with who happen to be in different places… I feel very lucky to live in an age where telecommunication is a solved problem!

(Can’t help but wonder when the tele-transportarion age is coming along tho 👀)

[Gustavo Bolson @gustavobolson]

I had heard of these phenomena since the LADEE mission to the Moon, but I never knew the Mercury had something like that! Fascinating!

[Dr. Sebastian Voltmer @SeVoSpace]

Have you recently seen the innermost planet in the evening sky? These images do NOT show a meteor, but the comet/planet Mercury! How is the tail formed? The solar wind and micro-meteorites eject sodium atoms from Mercury’s surface. This creates a yellow-orange tail of sodium gas that is around 2.5 million kilometers long. These shots were possible under best viewing conditions and in combination with a special 589nm filter. I used a 135 mm lens. The tail was clearly to see even on the raw files!
