@letiziadavoli Ti leggo da tempo con grande beneficio. Scopro ora invece una vena aggressiva e approssimativa di cui non avevo contezza. "non sei comunista e quindi lavori per vivere" .... ma che modo di esprimersi è?.. sono basito. Dov'è finita la giornalista razionale, oggettiva ed educata?
Today is SpaceX’s first earnings call as a public company.
I found out the top questions submitted by shareholders are about Asteroid — Liv’s Asteroid.
Her final wish before she passed was for Asteroid to become the official SpaceX mascot.
Elon honored that wish.
And now, on the biggest financial stage this company has ever stood on, people are still talking about the little Shiba she designed and named.
I don’t have the words for how that lands.
She drew him. She dreamed him into space.
And somehow he is still showing up in rooms she never got to enter.
Thank you, Elon, for keeping your word to her.
I wish more than anything she was here so I could tell her.
This isn’t about tokens or charts.
It’s about a 15-year-old girl who loved the stars so much that her creation is still flying with every mission.
Proud of you, Liv. Always.❤️

This is Charlie Gee.
He's a 23 year old British stonemason who restores cathedrals using the same tools that medieval craftsmen used 800 years ago.
In 2023, he helped rebuild eight pinnacles on Cologne Cathedral's spire. It was the first restoration of its kind since World War II, when 14 Allied bombs hit the Gothic landmark and it somehow remained standing while the rest of the city was flattened...
Cologne Cathedral, seen in this video, took 632 years to build. Construction began in 1248 and it was finished in 1880.
To put that in perspective: it took longer to build than the United States has existed as a country.
The first master builder, Master Gerhard, fell from the scaffolding in 1271, never seeing a single spire finished. Generations of stonemasons were born, worked, and died on that cathedral without seeing it completed. Then in 1473, the money ran out. Work stopped for more than 300 years, and a half-built cathedral with a wooden crane on top stood over Cologne for centuries.
In 1880, their descendants finished it... and it became the tallest building on earth.
The German poet Heinrich Heine was once asked why we no longer build such things. His answer may be the most precise diagnosis of the modern condition ever given: "In those days men had convictions, we moderns only have opinions. And it needs more than a mere opinion to erect a Gothic cathedral."
A civilization gives its heirs the benefit of socially accumulated knowledge. To preserve that knowledge, you have to know your history.
Gothic cathedrals are history made of stone: the physical record of a people who believed in something larger than themselves and longer than a single lifetime.
Charlie Gee is one of the very few young men alive who still speaks that language...

La NASA ha spento un altro strumento della Voyager1, il Low Energy Charged Particle detector, per risparmiare energia e poter continuare a restare in contatto con la sonda partita 49 anni fa che ora si trova nello spazio interstellare, a quasi 1 giorno luce da noi.
Insieme alla gemella, la V2, V1 è l'ambasciatore dell'Umanità tra le Stelle.
E porta con sè un messaggio della nostra specie a chiunque, là fuori, sia in grado di leggerlo: un disco d'oro con immagini, musica, suoni ed un segnale legato a quanto di più profondo e bello caratterizza gli esseri umani.
Cosa è? Ve lo racconto nell'ultimo numero di @Spazio_Magazine 🚀🤗
Non ve lo spoilero qui, se no vi perdete il gusto di leggerlo!
Ingenuity, il piccolo elicottero marziano, avrebbe dovuto fare - secondo i suoi "creatori" - 6 o 7 voli.
Ne ha fatti 72.
Una vita incredibile, la sua.
Oltre ogni immaginazione.
E ora riposa nella Valle delle Divinità, Valinor Hills, come la NASA ha ribattezzato le colline dove Ingenuity ha fatto il suo ultimo volo, in omaggio al Signore degli Anelli di J.R.R. Tolkien. 🥹🚁
Only one chance in this lifetime…
Like watching sunset at the beach from the most foreign seat in the cosmos, I couldn’t resist a cell phone video of Earthset. You can hear the shutter on the Nikon as @Astro_Christina is hammering away on 3-shot brackets and capturing those exceptional Earthset photos through the 400mm lens. @AstroVicGlover was in window 3 watching with @Astro_Jeremy next to him.
I could barely see the Moon through the docking hatch window but the iPhone was the perfect size to catch the view…this is uncropped, uncut with 8x zoom which is quite comparable to the view of the human eye. Enjoy.
We know
they only feed you 2-minute clips every day
empty buildings being targeted,
but you’d better watch this👇
Then ask your womanizing buddy:
‘Is this true Peter?
Why did we attack the island?’

I've taught European history for 30 years. Americans have always asked me how the Holocaust was possible, how Germans could have enabled a madman reveling in mass murder to carry out his plans. Now we can see in real time how this is enabled; now we have front-row seats.
Hello, Moon. It’s great to be back.
Here’s a taste of what the Artemis II astronauts photographed during their flight around the Moon. Check out more photos from the mission: https://t.co/rzM1P0QbOl
