@WalmartCanada can you add to your app when ordering for grocery pickup that I can automatically add it to my iCal calendar once the order is complete ?? I’ve almost forgotten my pick up a couple times and adding it manually everytime is inefficient. So many vendors have that.

[Maureen @MaureenInSpace]

@Pegasus10110 @British_Airways @KemiBadenoch It is not for an unaccompanied minor and you have to sign off on the fact that because hotels etc don’t typically accept under 18, there may not be a solution. But thanks.

[Maureen @MaureenInSpace]

Anything that departs from Slot’s horrendous leadership is welcome

If you'd never really heard about Victor Munoz (22) until tonight, here's everything you need to know about Liverpool's new attacker 🇪🇸

A quick introduction for #LFC fans 👇🧵

[Maureen @MaureenInSpace]

@ToxicGoonerHQ @LFC Signing superstars doesn’t mean much when they come with the shit attitude and ego of the likes of Mbappé. They don’t get the meaning of team sports.

[Liverpool FC @LFC]

A message to our supporters from the new Reds head coach ❤️

[Maureen @MaureenInSpace]

Yessssss

[Maureen @MaureenInSpace]

Never been more excited

[Yazz LFC @YazzLFC]

By a country mile.

[Ian Mc @McGlynnimino]

There's no guarantees that Andoni Iraola will be successful at Liverpool, but isn't it nice to feel excited again about football!

[John O Sullivan @Corballyred]

Look Iraola is a massive gamble, that's undeniable.

No manager has come from a smaller PL club to a bigger PL in 20 years and succeeded.

And I don't trust Richard Hughes judgement.

But I love the football his Bournemouth teams played.

I love the intensity and hard work he demands from players.

And I adored our last Spanish manager.

I'm already far more excited about the new season than if Slot stayed

So welcome to Liverpool Andoni Iraola 🇪🇸

[Maureen @MaureenInSpace]

Here we go ! Now that there excitement building again for @LFC

[TobyWrites @tobyasky]

I just love when managers walk their way to the top, there's a sense of achievement and deservedness.

After his playing career at Bilbao, and retiring in the US, Iraola took a bold step to go to AEK Larnaca in Cyprus to coach, he proved himself immediately by winning the cup.

He came back home in Spain to Mirandes, they were in the Segunda division and he dragged them to the semi finals of Copa Del Rey, while beating few La Liga teams on the way.

He moved to Rayo Vallecano, also in the Segunda and promoted them to La Liga. The crazy thing about him is that he has a known style of play and very adaptable too.

Rayo got to the final of the Conference league this season, its not a fluke because guess who their coach is? Yes, Iñigo Pérez, who was Iraola's assistant.

Bill Foley, Bournemouth's owner and the Bournemouth hierarchy like Richard Hughes wanted to play in a particular way, they had been monitoring Iraola for a long time, eventually, they found out that he was available, they grabbed him so quick, sacking Gary O'Neil who had just saved them from relegating.

Iraola took Bournemouth to Europe for the first time in their history, while losing top players like Semenyo, Huijsen, Zabarnyi, Solanke, and many more, on the way.

Liverpool players should be ready because he is a very demanding coach. Semenyo once said that immediately Iraola arrived at Bournemouth, they were training Monday to Sunday, something he'd never experienced before.

The mastermind behind this move is Richard Hughes, he was the Technical Director at Bournemouth, he sacked Gary O'Neil for Iraola. He is now the Sporting Director at Liverpool, he has just sacked Slot for Iraola again😅. He knows the Iraola train passes only once.

Congratulations to Andoni, I'm one of his biggest fans, and I think he suits Liverpool. Liverpool fans are going to see some serious high and aggressive hybrid pressing, they're also going to see some vertical and direct football which they're quite used to under Klopp and Slot's first season.

When they win the ball back, Iraola hates backward passes, he wants the ball played forward asap, in summary, quick transitions. I'm excited, are you?

[Maureen @MaureenInSpace]

🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[Liverpool FC @LFC]

Liverpool FC can confirm Arne Slot is to depart his role as head coach with immediate effect and that the process to appoint a successor is under way.

He leaves with a Premier League title to his name and our deepest gratitude and appreciation.

[Maureen @MaureenInSpace]

If that isn’t leadership, I don’t know what is. So privileged to have @NASAAdmin at the helm 🥳🥳🥳

[NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman @NASAAdmin]

We go where we need to be, and today that was @NASAKennedy.

Some of my senior engineers and I spent time at @blueorigin with @JeffBezos and @davill, speaking with the workforce and seeing the damage at LC-36 firsthand. I appreciated the opportunity to hear directly from those working through the aftermath and better understand the challenges ahead.

There is a lot of work to do, but this is exactly why people choose careers in aerospace, whether at NASA, Blue Origin, or across the industry. The talent in this field thrives under pressure and performs at its best when solving the toughest problems.

We have been saying for months at NASA that we are not going to sit on our hands and wait for the capabilities necessary to achieve the nation’s most pressing objectives. We are going to take an active role alongside our partners, just as we did in the 1960s, to overcome setbacks, remove obstacles, and deliver the intended outcomes.

@NASA is committed to helping the Blue team recover, continue to advance their lunar lander and get New Glenn back to launching as soon as safely possible.

America’s greatest achievements in space were never the result of avoiding setbacks. They came from overcoming them. We have done it before, and we will do it again🇺🇸

SpaceX, imma need y'all to do me a favor and lock the fuck in.

[Maureen @MaureenInSpace]

Absolute heartache after all those super exciting @NASAMoonBase announcements just a couple of days ago 😭😭😭 Space is so hard😭😭😭

[Eric Berger @SciGuySpace]

This completely takes Blue Origin out of the Artemis picture for the next 12 months, most likely. All of those Moon Base missions, man, it's bad.

[Maureen @MaureenInSpace]

Watch the @NASAMoonBase updates

[Herb Powell @Humanlty1o1]

Tim Hortons deciding to walk back the foreign worker program & hire more Canadians is simply an admission of guilt.

Its not considerate & conscientious change...they didn't give a shit until their market share was threatened.

Don't forgive or forget - hold them accountable!

[Maureen @MaureenInSpace]

Incredible footage. I love SpaceX and hope we absolutely get to live on other planets, but for the life of me can’t imagine that much sounds disruption several times per hour across different pads 😳

[Xplora @XploraSpace]

🫨🔈 Ce plan fixe du décollage du Starship a des airs de film de science-fiction… Une fusée colossale qui s’élève au loin dans un silence presque irréel, puis soudain le vacarme qui déferle, accompagné d’une nuée d’oiseaux désorientés…

[Maureen @MaureenInSpace]

Best view to date of the booster soft landing. SpaceX never ceases to amaze. Can’t wait for flight 13

[Sawyer Merritt @SawyerMerritt]

Can't remember if we've ever gotten this view before, but damn is it cool.

[Emerald Apple @AI_EmeraldApple]

The main failure of flight test 12 is actually a sign of how insanely powerful the Raptor 3 engine is.

During "most engine cutoff," that extra power from the booster and the upperstage engines during the hotstage separation pushed the booster to flip sideways at 44 degrees per second, or 0.77 rads/s. Nominally, it should flip up instead of sideways more slowly.

That rotation was WAY too fast in the wrong direction with added axial rotation, causing an estimated 2.2 g outward force at the nose of the booster, causing massive sloshing for the propellant. That caused gas ingestion, engine explosion, and cascading failure for the boostback. This led the booster to an uncontrolled fall at terminal velocity.

I think for the next flight, they are going to have to change the gimbal profile for the MECO to reduce rotation and counteract the upperstage engine push, increase the coast time to allow propellant to settle, and stagger the relight more slowly with 2 engines per 3-4 seconds or so.

This won't need many hardware changes, mostly software changes, so the next launch will probably be sooner than expected... classic too much of a good thing problem.
