A Rare Robot costume turns heads at New York Comic Con—and one photo with a young fan becomes the moment that sticks. Some convention memories are bigger than the challenges of building a cosplay. #NYCC#Cosplay
A deadline shrank from five weeks to seven days—and two broken 3D printers stood in the way. Getting the machines running doubled, then tripled, production capacity. Sometimes the first step is just solving the next problem. #3DPrinting#Cosplay
AI can accelerate a project, but real-world skills still do the heavy lifting. The sweet spot isn’t using AI for everything—it’s using it to learn new things, solve never-before-seen problems, and building with more confidence. #AI#Makers
When "everything" fell apart in my last week before NYCC, the engineering mindset saved the day. Staying objective during a crisis is the only way to solve problems that feel completely out of your control. #ProblemSolving#EngineeringMindset
True community isn't just about support—it's about building together. By community members adding their names to this cosplay project, the build became a "our" achievement. It is a powerful reminder of what happens when you bet on yourself and others. #Community#NYCC#Cosplay
Engineering is rarely just about the code. External factors are often out of your control, making adaptability the most valuable skill you can possess. Innovation happens when you stop fighting the circumstances and start finding creative solutions. #Engineering#NYCC#Cosplay
Starship has officially achieved orbital insertion! A massive milestone for the teams, years in the making. The journey continues with Orbital Refueling, but this is a monumental step. #Starship#SpaceX#Milestone
The US Space Force observed Chinese satellites performing orbital 'dogfights' in 2024. This space combat isn't about fighter jets, but about objects maneuvering in sync. #SpaceForce#OrbitalCombat#China
Our global reliance on space is skyrocketing. Weather, communication, navigation, and even national security depend on orbit. Space holds the key to solving global problems and answering questions we haven't even asked yet.

The first meeting of the Presidential commission to establish the nation's first US Space Academy happened last week. Learn more about the First Academy, when to expect the groundbreaking, first students, and when it will be in full operation.

NASA might be forced to cut funding for the New Horizons spacecraft, which gave us those AMAZING images of Pluto and is now gathering data on our Sun. This nuclear-powered spacecraft still has plenty of science to do - CALL YOUR CONGRESS PEOPLE! #Space#NewHorizons#Science
After nearly 20 years, the Swift Observatory's orbit is in decay. A commercial mission to boost it failed, but Swift has restarted science operations, making the most of the time it has left in space. #SpaceScience#Astronomy#TodayInSpace#NASA
Liftoff! Falcon Heavy launched NASA's Roman Space Telescope - currently on a million mile journey to L2 to start a mission to revolutionize our understanding of the universe. #SpaceLaunch#RomanSpaceTelescope
Witnessing the Artemis mission live was unbelievable! The sheer excitement from the science team was electric. It's moments like these that underscore the critical need for lunar research as we prepare for a permanent presence on the Moon.
#Artemis#MoonJoy#SpaceExploration
The anticipation of the launch was unbelievable! Rushing home to see it lift off, getting suited up with that game face on, and the historic walkout – it all felt surreal. Knowing we're on a trajectory to the moon makes it even more mind-blowing.

Artemis II's liftoff surprisingly had low public engagement at launch, highlighting a need for more public outreach and communication. But just 5 days later, it was all anyone talked about. That's the power of building momentum and engaging the public!

Public interest in the space race didn't just decline; it coincided with major Earth-bound issues like the civil rights movement and widespread poverty. These societal challenges fueled debate about prioritizing earthly needs before venturing into space.

The Starship launch for Flight 13 was incredible! Vehicle pitched down range, and all 33 Raptor engines lit on the Super Heavy booster. Ascent trajectory looked perfect, arcing away from Starbase at an brisk speed off the pad. #SpaceX#Starship
