@theresejones0 Imagine having this kind of confidence and audacity. That's actually crazy.

I am glad you're doing OK and feel empowered to act instead of presenting the (proverbial, no pun intended) other cheek to this kind of behavior.

@DrPhiltill @ChrisSPITZER7 Easily achieved by an array of scopes with synched PNT distributed between the orbital radii of Mercury and Mars. Easy peasy!

35 ly is unfathomably far away. It's not easy to see things far away. We very often comically overstate the visibility of civilization.

Finally over being sick and trying to catch up before 2024 hits. I have been reflecting. 2023 has been a really tough year. It's a classic Sergio moment to be embattled until the end. Either way, we're here. Thanks everyone for all the support.

[Sergio Gallucci @e_g_sergio]

Since I started a mini-sabbatical my body decided that it was time to fall apart, including finally catching covid after 3 years of dodging it. Finally getting back up, and now hoping to enjoy the close-out of the year with dedicated rest. Very reflective time.

A major congrats to SCOUT’s Co-founder & CTO, @e_g_sergio, on being named one of the 30-under-30’s @Forbes North America Science 2024 list!

Humbled to be on Forbes' 30 Under 30 this year; thankful for the recognition and for increased awareness of space sensing & sustainability as a domain of note.

Follow-up on SINTRA general post, a deeper dive into what the SCOUT team is working on: https://t.co/ScRm0lcB5m

Great to announce @SCOUTdotspace is working on this awesome program to enable better characterization and eventually safer operations within the space environment. We've got a great team! https://t.co/CdbF9mVJui

@LucRiesbeck indiscriminate & perhaps criminal rizz 😤

[Sergio Gallucci @e_g_sergio]

@buildingMadrid I love a good deal!

[Sergio Gallucci @e_g_sergio]

Really nice digs at @KinshipLanding, a good spot to settle into before kicking off a productive Space Symposium.

America's girth used to inspire transcendentalist, nigh religious experiences when experienced by previous generations. Nowadays I just want to get off this flight because my legs are going numb. Why is the continent so wide anyway?

[Sergio Gallucci @e_g_sergio]

The National Concert Band of America (which is the best community band I've ever heard) kicked off today's concert with both the U.S. and Ukrainian national anthems. Respect.

OpenAI is a cool tool. It might offer an interesting way of easing the burden of complex problem setup if you get it to code up the busy work.

[Andrew Gazdecki @agazdecki]

Your main job as a startup founder or employee right now is to figure out how to get OpenAI to do 90% of your work for you and still get paid.

[Sergio Gallucci @e_g_sergio]

@fikocian Vantage = breadth + depth. I look at facilitating R&D pipelines as a great way to not let profitability alone drive technology, or not leave innovativion to chance/IR&D trade-offs. Subsisting on public funding alone? Problematic. But this is a spectrum rather than a dichotomy.

[Sergio Gallucci @e_g_sergio]

@buildingMadrid @TaylorCSargent Yes, e.g. occultation. Debris sizes detectable depend on sampling/signal frequency and modulation scheme/transmitter configuration, which can be played with to improve sensitivity. This is valid across the entire EMR spectrum: RF, MW, light, etc.

Happy to do a deeper dive!

[Sergio Gallucci @e_g_sergio]

@rocketrepreneur Thank you for sharing so much of your trials and tribulations. It's like walking through a field which used to be where NewSpace trenches were laid. The cycles are brutal, the pivots are brutal, picking yourself up is brutal. But you do it.

[Sergio Gallucci @e_g_sergio]

@buildingMadrid VR-based design may be interface-limited right now. To draw something from our mind's eye into reality requires precise tracking of pointers as well as methods to coherently those objects in a 3D space, for which the best method right now is typing explicit coordinates/references

[Sergio Gallucci @e_g_sergio]

@buildingMadrid There's been studies attempting to/using it for life-scale engineering programs; JPL a few years back had some folks trialing Microsoft VR stuff for use in walking around and looking at clearances and fit on a rover for training on assembling those systems.

[Orchid.Black @OrdBlk]

How do you create a culture of excellence?

By creating a culture of challenge.

Challenge your team to strive for the best, for transparency, for honesty, and expect them to challenge you in return.
