We've been waiting for a long time to meet this 'little' lady. Introducing the first 1:1 mock-up of our 12ft @Int_Machines Nova-C lander, courtesy of #Columbia at the @DAYTONA 500!
Shout-out to @JoshMarshall_10 for making it happen.
#DAYTONA500
The first step to building a brand new Lunar Lander Operations and Production Facility?
Build a box... for dirt...
@JoshMarshall_10 and I constructed this beauty for the @Int_Machines groundbreaking on Thursday.
Baby steps towards awesome!
10 tugboats + Moon = #SuezUnblocked
When the Sun and the Moon are approximately aligned we experience especially high tides called Spring Tides. This tidal mvmt helped refloat the #Suez.

One @EmbryRiddle EagleCam team member stopped into IM to learn more about our lunar program. Nova-C is taking their student and faculty researcher made CubeSat camera system #ToTheMoon to take the first-ever lunar landing #selfie later this year.
"...to show the Chinese and the rest of the world that we're not a waning superpower, I was like I can put my heart and soul into that."

.@Int_Machines announced Wednesday that it selected SpaceX to propel its second lunar lander to the moon. This lander, being designed and tested in Houston, will carry an ice-mining experiment for #NASA. It's set to launch no sooner than 2022. #ToTheMoon https://t.co/i8Y06XWBW7
The Fire Extinguisher Module (FEM) is a fire suppression system for our Vertical Test Stand (truck that will test fire Nova-C's engine in the flight-like vertical position). This test proved the FEM is able to discharge a fire extinguisher electronically from a safe distance. 👍
Although he grew up wanting to be a snake charmer, IM #propulsion#engineer, Steven Torres, says his job is "the coolest thing that you're going to do in your lifetime."

One year ago an 84-year-old Korean War vet was gunned down while on his routine walk with his best friend.
His family still doesn’t have closure. Crimestoppers is raising the reward for information.
HIGH HEAT/ENERGY
"Extreme heat across the @ERCOT_ISO region will continue to result in high loads on the electric system. ERCOT set a new all-time peak demand record Monday afternoon, we may set another new record today."
FYI: ERCOT has not asked for conservation at this time.
