Take a moment to think about your safety before entering the water.

Avoid alcohol before swimming, be aware of cold water shock, and remember to Float to Live. ☀️ 🌊

With temperatures set to rise this week, the Coast Guard is reminding the public that beaches can be busier than usual.

SpaceX just stacked Starship for the first time on Pad 2. Booster 19 and Ship 39 have formed a full V3 stack on the new pad, smashing the record once again as the tallest rocket on Earth!

@planet4589 Ok maybe not Van Allen based on your predicted 10 N Latitude

Could this be Van Allen entering over Ireland this morning, or is it something else?

Valentia MRSC coordinated a rescue after a fishing vessel ran aground at Dingle Harbour, Co. Kerry. Coast Guard helicopter Rescue 115 winched 14 people to safety, with the support of Rescue 120F, RNLI lifeboat & Dingle Coast Guard. 👏 Huge thanks to all units involved.

@Shauns_Aviation @DJSnM what do you make of this, is it connected to a spaceX flight or is it connected to a known object re-entering.

[Rock'n Roll of All @rocknrollofall]

The Rush drummer, Neil Peart, blows the roof off the dump during Drum Solo Week from Late Show in 2011.

If you wanna be a drummer, that's what you should watch.

If you wanna be a musician, that's what you should watch.

If you wanna love rock and roll, that's what you should watch.

You'll be forever missed Neil Peart.

That was a brilliant performance!

⚠️ IMPORTANT MESSAGE ⚠️

James Lovell & NASA’s Apollo 13 team: a masterclass in beating the odds. I always try to bring the best lessons back to my career in medicine. Wrote the last lines of script for #13minutestothemoon S2 in Spring 2020, after the UK’s 1st Covid wave. A kernel of hope. #AdAstra Jim.

⚠️ Cliff edges can give way—without warning. Cracks, weight, and weather make them unstable.

Stay well back. Don’t risk it.

📞 In an emergency, call 112 or 999 and ask for the Coast Guard.
