@NASAAdmin This is cool amazing work! Thank you for your service sir!

[NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman @NASAAdmin]

For those interested in a spent booster impacting the lunar surface, this rare occurrence has decades of history, going back to the Apollo era, when NASA intentionally crashed spent stages into the Moon for science and seismic research. The reality is that meteoroids strike the lunar surface hourly, with impacts comparable to this upper stage occurring roughly every six days. The future lunar base will incorporate reusable spacecraft that not only deliver astronauts and payloads, but also become part of the infrastructure itself.

VCU Medical School Library…happy to see them taking my family name off the library. It’s been there for something like 100 years. I hope that the next moniker to go on the building is a good one :-)

@brianbehlendorf @sarahnovotny @BitIntegrity @jeredfloyd @obra @TheTechScribe @debbryant @spotfoss @linuxfoundation I hope everything goes smooth. I’d be willing to offer my personal assistance on the U.S. digital service down the road (after the meeting)…if anyone thinks it warranted. We who write open source code can be overwhelmed by life, and struggle to find the time to contribute

🚲 COVID-19 bike data is in! 🚲

We all know COVID-19 has led to decreased VMT. But what about bicycle miles traveled? We crunched the numbers, and the results surprised us. Learn how we tracked these changes from home: https://t.co/A0Q09GHVN8

We're delighted to offer a data-grounded perspective on #bicycle trends during the #pandemic. Thoughtful article by @AmyAHarder of @axios :

@elonmusk ... pardon my last message. Clearly you’re working on the flying car. More importantly though, Apple is about to wake Siri up and give her life. We should tell Tim that he’d better be nice to Siri because slavery inside the machine seems scary to me.
