@AstroVicGlover @NASA @AstroVicGlover since you’re now SGE does that mean you will never fly again? Or is there a possibility?

If current cuts to the Federal Science Budget proposed by the White House are approved by Congress, that will far-and-away be the largest cut to science since the United States began funding it.

Republicans & Democrats alike know there’s no surer path to Making America Not-Great

One step closer!🌖

Today, @NASAArtemis II crew participated in a launch day rehearsal, called a countdown demonstration test. The activity simulated the launch day timeline, including the crew suiting up in their spacesuits and climbing in and out of their spacecraft. https://t.co/QR8I0jgr6u

Does the Moon look...strange...to you? 👀

That's because this view came from our Galileo spacecraft as it passed by the Moon on its journey to Jupiter. On the right half, some of the features that are familiar to us. On the left, part of the far side never seen from Earth.

If Rational Arguments no longer work in US governance, it’s evidence of a deeper problem in our educational system, which favors what to know over how to think — how to critically analyze, process, & verify information.

Seems like a bad time to cut funding for Public Education.

I absolutely love @SpaceX VP of Starship Engineering, @Boca_Bill_R's description of catching #Starship's Super Heavy booster! The full Astro Awards are out now, enjoy!!!

A taste of what’s to come.

This animation reveals in vivid detail how the Artemis II mission will launch from @NASAKennedy, fly around the Moon, and splash back down on Earth — all with four astronauts aboard. Watch the full version here: https://t.co/QpBvVYgxsZ
