@narayanarjun Dyson sphere to power more Atlassian seats

@LastofLazarus @Alexphysics13 Not great is an understatement. Methalox 290 vac isp is terrible.

[Dan Morgan @Morgan628]

@holliemaea @EV_Trapper @Robotbeat And a standardized charging network. We made the right choice but it'll take a while for everything to get converted.

Sounds like it was Dr. Georg von Tiesenhausen based on a little research.

Space Camp in Huntsville is amazing. I went all the way up to Advanced Space Academy.

I got to see an ISS module integration at Marshall, but there was one part that was absolutely wild in hindsight.

We had a lecture on Relativity from an operation Paperclip scientist.

U.S. Space & Rocket Center @RocketCenterUSA in Huntsville, Alabama, home to @SpaceCampUSA. I am quite sure if I had not attended when I was 12, I would not be where I am today. And now this generation of campers will grow up in a world where outposts are operating on the Moon and someday Mars. Hard to imagine what could be more exciting or inspiring.

It wasn't until many years later that it really hit me "holy shit that was a Nazi scientist."

@powerbottomdad1 @keisan_15 This is redditbros not understanding the movie.

The end scene isn't about whether the top is going to fall. It's about how he no longer needs to see if it does and accepts that he deserves to see his kids. The point is that he doesn't look but it clearly wasn't all a dream.

@kemfic This is peak American behavior.

@Robotbeat @interplanetary I can't tell if you guys are taking the piss.

It's a nonsense idea to bandwagon on the AI fundraising bubble. It's a smart way to get free money but technically foolish.

The worst unit is decibel: It isn't even a unit, isn't defined consistently across fields, hides an arbitrary reference scale and is named after Alexander Bell but spelled 'bel'

@Alex_Hoganson Prop engineers and their winplot

@SpacecuberX @GoToImpulse It's still there. https://t.co/F51SVYTvTi

@Robotbeat Terran-R + Helios would go hard.

[Dan Morgan @Morgan628]

@BellikOzan @LACYF50 That's an extremely low bar.

[Pintle @pintleinjector]

This is pretty much why it makes sense to 10x NASAs budget ngl

[Dan Morgan @Morgan628]

@brickmack It's much less common than other industries but it does exist. Most of the cases I've seen came from people who already got into the industry then companies were willing to take them even remote only.

It's going to be tough to break in as remote.

[Dan Morgan @Morgan628]

All true, but also don't be afraid to give the STEM side a shot if that's what you really want.

I started college over at 30 because I didn't have a stem degree. It was rough but I knew what I wanted. It is possible and there are people who will give you a chance.

[cait @RockettLord]

If you want to work in the space industry but don’t have a STEM degree here are all sorts of other options available:

Journalists and communicators!
Videographers and photographers!
Executive Assistants!
Accountants!
Finance and business!
Learning specialists!
Human resources!

Every space company needs a plethora of humans in all types of role to be successful in meeting their goals!

If you need help with finding other space companies that complement NASA and their goals (most hardware is built by companies that have contracts with NASA!) check out the post I will link in the comments 👇👇

i just know the artemis 2 wake up song for re-entry day either gonna be something really deep, profound and meaningful OR something fuckass like fireball by pitbull 😭😭😭

[Dan Morgan @Morgan628]

@IanDodds_ @connorkapoor Opportunity is always circumstantial. Really good and driven people will keep pushing until they get through somewhere but it still requires someone to give you a chance.

Luck and timing always matter. I got crazy lucky with how I got my specific job.
