On Wednesday one of these will crash into the Moon.
It's a @SpaceX Falcon 9 upper stage rocket & tank, used to propel lunar landers last year. It will hit near Einstein Crater at 5400 mph/8700 kph, blasting a crater 90ft/27m across, 16ft/5m deep.
Total, the Moon has been hit by 800+ human-made objects, but that's dwarfed by the natural impacts: tens of thousands of similar new meteor craters every year.
The Moon has no life or ecosystem to disrupt, but as we start landing more, we need to better track what we're doing: @openlunar has the world-leading Lunar Ledger (https://t.co/lhQjGmcmFc), doing just that.
From my first race win, to four world championships, we have shared incredible successes. Winning memorable races and breaking countless records. Thank you for everything, Christian!
this youtuber with 9m subs saw his wife struggle to find a quality wheelchair — $5k price tags, long waits, made in china
so he built his own factory in the USA
now, he sells these $1,000 custom wheelchairs, shipped in weeks
we need more creator-led businesses like this.
July 20th, 1969 is a date that stands high in my life – it was the day that we, together as one people, achieved the greatest scientific and technological feat in human history. The specific role that Neil, Mike and I performed in the event was but one part of an immeasurably larger effort – not just for our nation, but for all mankind. As I look back on what we accomplished 55 years ago, I am still inspired by what we all saw and did – the best of America and the best of humanity. Thank you for the privilege and the honor of serving you, and for being part of this exciting and wonderous journey with me. #Apollo11
@thewebpro I think people are just mad about waiting years for 'Rides with Strangers'. It's like pre-ordering a New Tesla Roadster and then getting a Model 3 instead.
