@ElonMuskAOC Purple because it is on the left. Why the left. If I have to make a quick decision with no reasearch this is my logic. Most people are right handed and would more likely open the right door. If was giving away $1 billion at chance, I would put it behind the left door.
Static fire Sunday! (Yes they can close the road 5 times a year on the weekend). This will be the first static fire using the new water deluge. Can’t wait to see how it holds up! @considercosmos will be filming the goods in slow motion, stand by!
Tonight, SpaceX will launch its 3rd Falcon Heavy of 2023, placing the #EchoStar24 communication satellite in a supersynch-GTO. This satellite, massing 9200 kg, will be the most massive public geostationary satellite ever! Prelaunch Preview by @124970MeV! - https://t.co/608yE8S3MC
This table of Space Shuttle engines tracks their use across the shuttle fleet, up to STS-132, there are only a couple of engines that flew more than 15 times. SpaceX is starting to exceed this count with some of their engines.
Also, those center engines light 3 times in a flight.
NEW VIDEO!!! This is a quintessential video comparing orbital vs sub-orbital. We cover all the important topics like zero-G, the Karman line, orbital mechanics like apogee and perigee and so many important topics to help you understand rocket science! - https://t.co/LyVwy160DM
Wow…Insane Footage showing a Russian 9K331 Tor-M1 Surface-to-Air Missile System attempting to Target and Shoot Down a Ukrainian Drone and only Missing by near Inches.
To the man who truly made science fun... We miss you. ❤️
Thank you Grant for your enthusiasm for all things engineering — you inspired so many of us. #Mythbusters.
Here's a little teaser of an upcoming video where we explain space vs orbit. Getting to space is mostly about going up and getting out of the atmosphere, but getting into orbit requires a LOT of energy in the form of ludicrous amounts of velocity.
I love America! This country is awesome and I thank God in his mercy he let me live here. Don’t give in to the hatred you see on social media! Hard work, Ingenuity, Love and Integrity win the day here and it’s AWESOME!
Happy 4th of July my friends. Be grateful for our freedoms.
Earlier this week, we had the privilege of hosting Virginia Congressman @RobWittman, vice chairman of the House Armed Services Committee and chairman of the Tactical Air and Land Forces Subcommittee, to see firsthand how we're revolutionizing access to space. In addition to showcasing our low-cost launch, satellites, and services – we enjoyed speaking with the congressman about his commitment to advancing legislation to support the commercial space sector.
It’s clear Congressman Wittman is a strong advocate of innovation, and we stand by him in his support to enhance our space-based national security capabilities, promote innovative commercial activities, and foster partnerships between the government and private space companies.
