Sulfa drugs are arguably the root of all modern pharmacotherapy

Before the sulfa miracle, doctors were (by and large) highly pessimistic about the idea of using chemistry to treat disease

Seems insane now, but that was less than a century ago!

Recommended: this book about the development of sulfa drugs (the very first broad-spectrum antibiotics)

Engaging writing and very interesting content

Big tank. Big tests. Big milestone.

Nova Stage 1 proto-qualification is complete.
46 structural objectives verified, plus key fluid systems, avionics, software, ground systems, and ops demos. (More detail in our linked blog post.)

This is where new rockets often find the hard stuff; Nova (and the Stoke team) handled it. Our local partners at the @PORTOFMOSESLAKE , the Grant County Sheriff's Office and Public Works department, plus our vendor Norco made sure we had the support we needed every step of the way.

Ad Astra.✨

@MattBraynard Europeans are just incompetent

Even when TSA was defunded, I was able to re-enter the US and clear security @ Boston Logan in maybe 20 minutes

Meanwhile Madrid forced us to spend hours in glacially slow Schengen emigration lines

Last week a thunderstorm rolled through the Moses Lake area, causing high winds (but no damage) at our test site. Excellent preparation by the local team ensured that our Stage 1 structure held fast despite wind, rain, and lightning. ⚡️🚀

@evisdrenova Tokyo Skytree was *packed* in the evening, but the view is awesome - it feels impossible to grasp the sheer scale of Tokyo from the ground

Harajuku (not far from Shinjuku) is perhaps a bit of a tourist trap, but the street food was good and I got a cool jacket ;p

@kosenjuu Is this the one in Osaka LOL

@the_ason I will never forgive the hippies and the Euros for requiring fear-mongering labels on radiation sterilized food

We could have meat that keeps for 2-3x longer for literally free (no radiation hazard or nutrition/quality degradation) but noooo radiation scaryyy

Sound🔊on: epic fly-by footage of the ongoing Zenith engine testing and Stage 1 structural qualifications happening at our test site in Moses Lake. 🤘🚀

東京の地下鉄、この乗り換えを同じ駅にカウントすんなバカ野郎って距離が多すぎるので「〇〇線はお乗り換えです。ただし貴様は400m歩くことになる」的なアナウンスが欲しいです。

@uncle_deluge ~90% of humanity lives north of the equator, so the chosen orientation is perfectly rational and unbiased in that context
