Warning: VERY low IQ take from whoever this Aisha bonehead is.
Everyone in metro Detroit knows Jax Kar Wash 65+ locations pumping water daily.
The Barn data center: Closed-loop air cooling = ~10-20k gallons/day (office building levels, less than the farmland it replaced).
Jax will use ~1000% more water per year.
If this was actually about water, wrong target, Aisha. But it’s not about water… it’s about opposing progress

[Aisha Farooqi @AishaforMI]

Michigan holds nearly 20% of the world’s fresh surface water, a sacred trust we are obligated to protect for future generations. That is not negotiable.

So let me be blunt: Governor Whitmer smiling for photos with Sam Altman while handing over Michigan’s water and energy to his data centers is a betrayal of every family that depends on these resources. This isn’t economic development, it’s a sweetheart deal for a Silicon Valley billionaire at Michigan taxpayers’ expense.

AI data centers consume millions of gallons of water and massive amounts of electricity.

Who pays the price? Michigan families, farmers, and communities.

Who pockets the profits? Out-of-state tech oligarchs who will never have to live with the consequences.

I am running for Congress because Michigan’s water, land, and energy belong to the people of Michigan, not to the billionaire class and not to politicians who roll out the red carpet for them.

We will not subsidize the exploitation of our most precious natural resources so the ultra-wealthy can grow even richer.

Enough. Michigan is not for sale.

Or, you and your colleagues could do what you were elected to do. Write and pass laws to put the guardrails in place for AI labs to operate within. But, then you wouldn’t be in control of frontier models which is really what you want…ultimate power disguised as “revenue” sharing

•PROP — Propulsion — managed Orion’s main engine and thrusters throughout the lunar flyby and trajectory corrections

•GNO — Ground Network Officer — maintains communication links between Orion and Earth, managing the comm blackout during reentry

•FDO — Flight Dynamics Officer — plotted and monitored Orion’s skip reentry trajectory, a technique where the capsule bounces off the upper atmosphere once before final descent

•CAPCOM — Capsule Communicator — the single voice the four crew members (Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, Jeremy Hansen) hear from the ground

•CONTROL — Spacecraft Systems — monitors Orion’s onboard systems, power, and computers

•IVA — Intra-Vehicular Activity — manages crew operations and configuration inside the capsule during reentry

•BME — Biomedical Engineer — tracks crew vitals and physical condition, especially g-load stress during reentry

•SCIENCE — coordinates the mission’s lunar science objectives and data collection

•MPO — Mission Planning Officer — manages the overall timeline, now coordinating handoff to Navy recovery teams for Pacific splashdown

Someone asked what all these stations in Mission Control are for Artemis. Here’s a breakdown….

Must have been a huge 💩

#BREAKING 🚨: Artemis II astronauts are now reporting a bad burning smell emanating around their toilet

[Josh Cooper @_AstroCoop]

The idea that spacex failed to account for the fact that radiating heat away from Ai sats is extremely foolish

Why space servers FAIL

Execs want to put data centers in space, but there's a massive physics problem: vacuums have no convection cooling. Discover why cooling servers in space relies purely on infrared radiation!

Liftoff.

The Artemis II mission launched from @NASAKennedy at 6:35pm ET (2235 UTC), propelling four astronauts on a journey around the Moon.

Artemis II will pave the way for future Moon landings, as well as the next giant leap — astronauts on Mars.

Instagram needs a “grok is this true”

[Josh Cooper @_AstroCoop]

@paulg Why is it so hard specifically for founders? Seems like it’s much easier for the average joe to just say “this company does XYZ”

[Josh Cooper @_AstroCoop]

@NelsonFaerber And how exactly are the parts worth more on their own?

@beyoumf Hello

[Josh Cooper @_AstroCoop]

Feels like claude code is burning tokens less efficiently. I just used plan mode (hoping to be more efficient) scoping out pretty minor CRUD edits nothing too heavy and it took over 9k tokens just to make the plan??

[Josh Cooper @_AstroCoop]

@robert_zubrin Source?

@SpencerHakimian Desperation

@tstoliker I have been burning through Claude Code credits every day. Fire it up in the terminal, it's pretty powerful

[Josh Cooper @_AstroCoop]

I have been a longtime chatGPT loyalist but claude is just so superior now

[Josh Cooper @_AstroCoop]

@realdonpelayo Please inform us. When you say they use up a “huge ton” tell us how much? Shall we ban golf courses which consume far more water? How about hospitals that also consume far more?

[Josh Cooper @_AstroCoop]

@DJSnM It’s crazy we don’t have a variety of crew rated spacecraft today. Far more likely that the issue stems from the endless cost plus contract structure as opposed to industry consolidation you mentioned
