The Programmers’ Credo: we do these things not because they are easy, but because we thought they were going to be easy

We have water at home

[NASA Watch @NASAWatch]

Moments ago @CNN cited a study saying that very large settlements on the Moon would run out of water and that much smaller bases are more realistic #Artemis @NASAMoonbase

Interesting how the sudden appearance of animal life on Earth during the Cambrian Explosion coincides closely with the last livable epoch on Venus. Maybe someone said "screw this" and packed a suitcase full of trilobites

Getting everyone fired up for next year's journey... to low Earth orbit. Artemis will no longer go years between missions that don't reach the moon. It will fail to land on the moon annually!

[NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman @NASAAdmin]

This is a very energized NASA, and Artemis II was just the beginning…

Wait until you see how much they gave to Boeing for new missions on the failed Starliner. Gotta keep feeding the ISS money bonfire

[NASA Space Operations @NASASpaceOps]

To continue regular crew transportation to the @Space_Station, NASA has awarded @SpaceX three additional missions through a contract modification.

As part of the agency’s Commercial Crew Transportation Capability (CCtCap) contract, this change brings the total missions for SpaceX to 17 and helps @NASA to maintain access to the space station with two unique commercial crew industry partners.

Rapidly approaching the point where 100% of crew time will be spent in maintenance. Like owning a Jeep that costs taxpayers $5b/year

Check out today’s task where @astro_anil and I are using an ultrasound to verify the structural integrity of the @Space_Station.

Big fan but maybe let's see it get to orbit first

Starship being the only vehicle in the history of humanity that can take us to other planets does not get enough appreciation

This is the first part of Mars (NW of Gale) where I saw super resolution DEM structure including these ancient gullies. Now I can toggle to the hydrology simulation and see why the gullies just stop - the flowed into an ancient lake. I've been working on this for over 10 years and still get goosebumps sometimes.

I saw this without context and thought it was just because Sheeran sucks. By far my most relatable AOC moment

[TMZ @TMZ]

🗣️ Rep. AOC tells @hicharliecotton she is boycotting Ed Sheeran because she says he's complicit in Robert Kraft and other stadium owners' efforts to silence Macklemore.

If not for the heroism of Guardians protecting us from space adversaries like Russia, we would not be able to operate a space station with [checks notes] uh...

[NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman @NASAAdmin]

NASA gets to pursue some extraordinary missions because others stand watch. Grateful to the Guardians of the @USSpaceForce who help make our work possible and to @POTUS for having the foresight to establish it.
