Randomly saw @SpaceX Falcon 9 in the sky near Littleton, Colorado while driving in the car a little while ago. We couldn't get a photo before it snuck behind the mountains. #Falcon9
We are saddened by the passing of Jim Lovell, commander of Apollo 13 and a four-time spaceflight veteran.
Lovell's life and work inspired millions. His courage under pressure helped forge our path to the Moon and beyond—a journey that continues today. https://t.co/AjT8qmxsZI
@gbrew24 If I had to guess, the F-35 was flying with additional external ordnance or flying with other F-16 aircraft, or both, which would negate its stealthiness.
@colossal These aren't actual Dire Wolves though. They are Grey Wolves that have been modified to have a few characteristics that are Dire Wolf-like. They are genetically very different from Dire Wolves.
“NASA has this phrase that they like: ‘Failure is not an option.’ But failure has to be an option in art and in exploration, because it’s a leap of faith. And no important endeavor that required innovation was done without risk. You have to be willing to take those risks. So, that’s the thought I would leave you with, is that in whatever you’re doing, failure is an option, but fear is not.”
-James Cameron
Keep chasing the stars @SpaceX@elonmusk
Some notes from the post-docking news conference on Starliner: Engineers found a fourth helium leak after capture. The thruster issues were similar to those observed on OFT-2, and are still not fully understood.
Despite loss of many tiles and a damaged flap, Starship made it all the way to a soft landing in the ocean!
Congratulations @SpaceX team on an epic achievement!!
If you're keeping score at home, these are the problems Boeing has found with the Starliner spacecraft on the ground since OFT-2:
* prop system valves
* flammable tape
* parachutes
* helium leak
* prop system design vulnerability
Crew flight test now set for June 1.
