Mike Tyson wisely said that everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face. We are a tough opponent at NASA and we did have several plans; and we did use all of them last Tuesday to remove the SGANT communications antenna. Round 2 starts tomorrow. Tune in 7am eastern.
Georgia Tech chosen as founding partner for a 10-year Department of War initiative aimed at modernizing textile manufacturing in the United States to support the defense industry.
FutureTEX – which includes $36 million in its first year and has a ceiling of $480 million over a decade – brings together university, industry, government, and nonprofit partners to advance textile manufacturing technologies for military and domestic applications. FutureTEX will champion workforce development and modernization of facilities and equipment to increase U.S. competitiveness.
School of Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) researchers Sundaresan Jayaraman and Sungmee Park will lead Georgia Tech’s efforts. They will work with American manufacturers to capitalize on digital infrastructure and other emerging technologies to make the domestic supply network more robust.

I was worried I might get used to seeing sights like this. I don’t. This was a moon rise, on an iPhone, during a break from a required workout which is nearby the window. It reminds me to carry that same sense of awe when I return. Also, I can’t wait until we land on the moon again.
@OzolinsJanis@ivanibash The linking mostly looks cool for me but I do occasionally look to see if and how different interest areas connect. It is useful for AI to be able to efficiently traverse my vault/knowledge base.
My hand-painted cutaway of the Haulcraft from @andorofficial , created for DK's Star Wars: Dawn of Rebellion.
Set up from the digital model by @ILMVFX, hand drawn, inked and painted in watercolour. Love this ship - a privilege to create its official cutaway artwork.

Happening now! Tune in to NASA+ at 7:00 am ET to watch @soph_astro venture outside for her first spacewalk, and @astro_anil for his second! They’ll be replacing an @Space_Station communications antenna. Happening now! https://t.co/ro51aHlJKo
These long shadows cast by cumulus clouds (crepuscular rays) at sunrise caught my eye, their straight lines a juxtaposition of sorts among the curves of Earth and its clouds. Mother Nature seems to prefer softer edges.
Cake cutting ceremonies! A @NASA tradition where we get to spend time with the many technical and training teams that make these missions happen - saying thanks, saying bye (for a little) and eating cake.
Timelapse of the ISS Optimal Propellent Maneuver (OPM)! We use this to reorient station's attitude in preparation for docking events. This one occurred over some magnificent Mediterranean city lights!
On Aug. 6, @NASA astronauts Jessica Meir and Anil Menon concluded a 6-hour, 27-minute spacewalk. The next spacewalk moves to Aug. 18 for a spacesuit evaluation. More... https://t.co/uIopAudHHl
That first spacewalk feeling! Congratulations to @astro_anil on his first spacewalk. Mission complete as we assembled the last of the mounting brackets that will hold another set of solar arrays to augment the @Space_Station power supply.
