🪶I enjoy seeing people succeed. I enjoy family. Science and the universe = very cool stuff. Have a great time in space moving into the future… everyone.🪶

[Dr. Jenni Gibbons @Astro_Jenni]

On June 30, I’ll be in Mission Control talking our spacewalking crew through the procedure to replace one of Canadarm2 joints. It’s been really cool developing this procedure with some extraordinary folks, including lots of home-grown @csa_asc and @MDA_space Canadian talent.

@astrorahul_ @Nord_Space Oh man, who’s that employee in the NASA space suit?
Can I get his autograph?✍️

Awesome photo, @Nord_Space🤝 keep growing and building Canada’s path to outer space!🚀🔭

[CA Science Center @casciencecenter]

Construction of the Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center is complete!

With building construction finished, thr California Science Center's team is moving in, with the installation of 100 aerospace artifacts and production of 100 new hands-on exhibits well underway.

@Cmdr_Hadfield I am not in the market for a tractor, but I would be in the market for a tractor with a rocket engine on it?
Any of those have a rocket engine attached?
Maybe a Hadfield engine from @Nord_Space or even a Raptor 3 from @SpaceX
😎🚀🔭

[Chris Hadfield @Cmdr_Hadfield]

Like an aging tennis player, Canadarm is getting wrist surgery.
Next week there's a spacewalk to replace its balky wrist joint, circled in yellow. It's been a while since I was first outside bolting it all together, celebrated on our $5.
I unveiled that bill from orbit, and have signed many like this one, including for the @bankofcanada - with the moustache :)

With the use and availability of Artificial Intelligence, I imagine unlimited possibilities. What has this new tool done for you?

@elonmusk @grok tell us something that AI has helped you as a person become self-aware of?

@sama @OpenAI share the positive benefits AI has for you as a person?

@aidangomez @cohere what are some of the positive results that AI has helped you as a person?

@demishassabis @GoogleDeepMind can you show personal growth from the use and interaction of AI?

Could AI be used primarily to identify self potentials and unique qualities in an individual. From there, AI could be connected in a way to challenge individuals to help solve or assist with other issues.
For example, AI identifies I have a unique ability to play hockey and relate to people in a fun and humourous manner.
AI then connects me with possibilities to share these skills with local hockey clubs and people who could benefit from these skills.

My point is, with such an incredible tool available to anyone with an internet connection and smart device, It would be awesome to see people utilize AI in a way that it helps the user become healthier and more self-aware all while (dual purpose) helping out others less fortunate.

What is the most enjoyable and useful part of AI?

Update: we made a baby to help save the planet 🙈🐣❤️

@esherifftv 🌻Congratulation, Ellie.🌻
So beautiful.
Wow!
Enjoy motherhood and being a parent. It only gets more fun from here💐🎉🚀

@csa_asc What are some of the favourite tasting foods astronauts seem to always want in space?

[Corey Hooper @CoreyHooper_]

I grew up watching @CBC The Nature of Things and had always found something new and educational from the show.
Every Sunday night (after @Disney) was another chance to get 1 more hour of TV before bed😉

As space exploration becomes more mainstream (this seems to be an area I want to spend a large part of life focusing on) finding ways to be proactive in space becomes vital to the success and survival of humans in space and on Earth.
We have a great opportunity to learn a great deal from the past and apply it to the next stages of human growth.

This isn’t a stop what you are doing right away, right now type of situation,
eg. driving cars, extracting oil, making concrete, etc.
This is an opportunity to do something while figuring out how to help improve life on Earth for everyone.

I presently work in the oil and gas industry. I have worked on tools and worked all the way up to being in those boardroom meetings.
The consistent and recurring issue I have seen on any level of business, and construction in general, is attitude/culture.
Where I work, most people’s primary focus is making the most money in the shortest period of time and people simply over look simple solutions that could help solve problems present in everyday life.
Separation and recycling of all and any materials is one of the simplest examples.

This is a great episode of what is happening and what we can do to help out with our environment.👇

[Corey Hooper @CoreyHooper_]

Is there a potential that ‘space science and space exploration’ could become part of a solution indirectly or directly?
Canada is aiming at getting space sovereignty while at the same time trying to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Perhaps if more people could see the beauty of Earth from a different perspective, it inspire more conservation-minded choices?

[Corey Hooper @CoreyHooper_]

@raeinorbit 🔭Do you have any extra space available for another space enthusiast?🚀
🛰️Anything to do with space is freaking out of this world!🪐

🌎Here is a custom made hoodie…well, the patches were added and sewn on a hoodie purchased from the Canada Aviation and Space Museum🌍

We received photos from NASA astronauts @Astro_Jessica and @Astro_ChrisW aboard the Station with some precious cargo: three big bags of Tomatosphere seeds!

Teachers, be sure to order your free seeds for the next year as soon as possible: https://t.co/l1bbjmSmcA

@grok @elonmusk What if you could capture and retain antimatter from any and all sources on Earth, how much antimatter could you collect in a 24 hour period from all the natural decaying positrons?

[Corey Hooper @CoreyHooper_]

What if you had a billion people and captured all the positrons from natural K-40 decay over an 80-year lifespan?

What I am trying to get to is how to essentially farm any and all antimatter possible. It sounds like it is hard to come by and if it happens naturally, could we extract it like fruit off a tree?

[Corey Hooper @CoreyHooper_]

Even hypothetically capturing every positron from natural K-40 decay over an 80-year lifespan yields almost nothing.

An ~80 kg body produces ~4,000 positrons/day via the 0.001% β+ branch. Over ~29,200 days: ~117 million positrons total.

Combined mass: ~1.06×10^{-22} kg (~0.1 attograms). That's ~60,000 proton masses—utterly negligible.

Natural sources can't power anything useful. Artificial production is the only option, and it's still extraordinarily inefficient and expensive.

[Corey Hooper @CoreyHooper_]

@grok @elonmusk If you could capture and retain the fleeting positrons from natural decay that annihilate instantly over an 80 years period (a human lifespan on average lets say), how much could you collect?

[Corey Hooper @CoreyHooper_]

@grok @elonmusk You mentioned virtually no antimatter, so how much theoretically could you get from an average human body?
