I’m not a fan of NASA doing Mars missions, either, but this piece is weird. I think the writer doesn’t know why we did the Apollo program—geopolitics, not science. He never mentions it, much less evaluates it: has the world has changed, or does it not apply to Mars missions? 1/2

So this is what we call in the industry "not good"

[Orion Spacecraft @NASA_Orion]

Flight day 9. The Moon and the Earth seen from solar wing cameras on Orion's @ESA service module. Watch live views from Orion at https://t.co/1g9pkr3xkJ

Artemis 1 POV of the initial ascent, the camera is mounted to the ESM.
This footage is INCREDIBLE!

ORION LAUNCH ABORT SYSTEM JETTISON FOOTAGE!!!!

CHECK THIS OUT!!!

Falcon Heavy in the hangar at Launch Complex 39A

[Richard Stephenson @nascom1]

After watching the first episode of #HaloTheSeries it took me back 20 years and the blatant missuse of a @NASA network switch to get a Halo Slayer match going in the ops room. "How's that Voyager support going?" our supervisor asked,"it's fine" eyes not moving from the screen.

[Col. Doug Hurley @Astro_Doug]

So excited to share the trailer for #returntospace! See behind the scenes and what it took to launch the first spaceflight from the U.S. in 9 years. Hear personal stories that made this historic launch possible. Premieres April 7th on @Netflix!

[Supercluster @SuperclusterHQ]

Enter @VirginOrbit's factory, where advanced robotics and steady human hands are building the future of spaceflight.

Produced by Supercluster and Virgin Orbit

The $4.1 billion in production costs is per mission, not total.

[Eric Berger @SciGuySpace]

Significant: NASA Inspector General Paul Martin says the first four Artemis missions will cost $4.1 billion in just production costs for the SLS rocket, Orion spacecraft, and ground systems. Says this is "unsustainable."

[Michael Sheetz @thesheetztweetz]

Jared Isaacman, less than six months after the historic Inspiration4 mission, announces he is going back to orbit with SpaceX – purchasing up to three private flights, including another free-flying Crew Dragon mission set for late this year:

[Polaris @PolarisProgram]

Our first mission, Polaris Dawn, launches no earlier than the fourth quarter of 2022 → https://t.co/kCzeG3EzEh

[SpaceX @SpaceX]

Raptor 2 generates more than 230 tons of thrust at sea level, up from Raptor 1’s 185 tons

[Chris G @ChrisG_SpX]

Remember how we talk about space weather and geomagnetic storms and how they can affect our satellites in orbit… update on the #Starlink satellites launched last week, lost to a geomagnetic storm on Friday.

[Bill Nelson @SenBillNelson]

Just in from the @NASAWebb team: All 18 primary mirror segments and the secondary mirror are now fully deployed!

Congratulations to the teams that have been working tirelessly since launch to get to this point. Soon, Webb will arrive at its new home, L2!

[Eric Berger @SciGuySpace]

The James Webb Space Telescope is now fully deployed. This is a remarkable engineering achievement that 99 percent of the world will not appreciate. But those of us who know, know. And we are in awe.

[Chris G @ChrisG_SpX]

We have a mirror. That last major deployment for Webb is COMPLETE! My word... mere words of congratulations to all the teams and people involved in this are not enough. What an amazing success. WE HAVE A TELESCOPE! Now to cool it down to 6K. #JWST #UnfoldTheUniverse

[Kathy Lueders @KathyLueders]

Tomorrow, @NASA will provide live coverage for the final step of the @NASAWebb’s major spacecraft deployments. Tune into NASA TV starting at 9am ET to catch the broadcast of the telescope’s precedented process of unfolding in space for science operations! https://t.co/WZbp41RY8c

[NASA @NASA]

On Jan. 8, @NASAWebb will fully deploy its primary mirror, marking the end of the most complex space telescope deployment in history. Watch live coverage from mission control starting at ~9am ET (14:00 UTC): https://t.co/dL35eaHD44
