Comms, policy, tech. Currently causing good trouble with @Invariant. Deep dives into bikes and elder Millenial culture come for free.

Splashdown confirmed! Congratulations to the entire SpaceX team on the twelfth flight test of Starship!

🚨New podcast launched: The Center Edge.

Tech policy gets made in the center. The rhetoric lives at the edge. This show is about both.

👇Episode 1 with Chair @BrendanCarrFCC is out now —drones, routers, satellites, and evolving Republican approaches to leading the agency.

@NOTUSreports Fantastic lineup. Cannot wait.

[NOTUS @NOTUSreports]

The Star launches in June with dramatically expanded coverage of Washington politics and policy — and new coverage of D.C. itself. The District isn’t just the place where politics happens. It’s home to the people who pull the levers of power. It’s where they live and work and commute and eat and vote and navigate the unique intersection of politics and real life.

The Star will cover all of it, from Donald Trump’s stamp on the District to the ambitions of its first new mayor in more than a decade. Who’s wielding power in D.C.? What’s driving them? What impact are they having on housing, schools, transportation and the District’s neighborhoods? What’s next for Home Rule? For statehood? And will the Nationals ever be good again?

We’ll do it with the same rigor we bring to our coverage of national politics and policy, and we’ll do it with the best local reporting team in D.C. We’re excited to announce the start of that team today — veteran journalists you know and trust, plus newcomers who will bring fresh eyes to the vibrant and sometimes vexing place we all call home.

On the helicopter leaving the ship right now. This planet is impossibly beautiful from every altitude I’ve seen it…surface to 250,000 miles

[NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman @NASAAdmin]

And splashdown!

America is back in the business of sending astronauts to the Moon and bringing them home safely.
Reid, Victor, Christina, and Jeremy did an outstanding job. These talented astronauts inspired the world and represented their space agencies and nations as humanity’s ambassadors to the stars.

This was a test mission, the first crewed flight of SLS and Orion, pushing farther into the unforgiving environment of space than ever before, and it carried real risk. They accepted that risk for all we stood to learn and for the exciting missions that follow, as we return to the lunar surface, build a Moon base, and prepare for what comes next.

And they were not alone. The entire NASA workforce, our commercial and international partners, and the hopes and dreams of people all over the world were with them. The astronauts know it, and you should too. This mission would not have been possible without you.

Congratulations. Artemis II, mission accomplished.

All you need to know about the #Artemis 2 #splashdown happening TODAY (Friday, April 10th) at 5:07pm PT!

PS Per @USGS_Quakes “A sonic boom is expected as the spacecraft re-enters the atmosphere and could potentially be felt and heard throughout Southern California between 5:00 and 5:15 pm local time”

This was where my journey began… at @NASAGoddard!

The Thermal Blanket Lab is where technicians make clothes — but for spacecraft. Paula Cain not only put me together, but she made me a cool ‘fit as well. 😎 -Rise

Rise and shine, space fans!

Stay tuned to find out the crew’s picks for the rest of the mission.

If we haven’t learned by now not to have lunch with @JohnCarreyrou if we have something to hide…

We see our home planet as a whole, lit up in spectacular blues and browns. A green aurora even lights up the atmosphere. That's us, together, watching as our astronauts make their journey to the Moon.

[Jessica Meir @Astro_Jessica]

Godspeed, Artemis II!

[NASA @NASA]

Liftoff.

The Artemis II mission launched from @NASAKennedy at 6:35pm ET (2235 UTC), propelling four astronauts on a journey around the Moon.

Artemis II will pave the way for future Moon landings, as well as the next giant leap — astronauts on Mars.

[Ellen Satterwhite @esatts]

Let’s gooooo!!!

[NASA @NASA]

We're going around the Moon. Come watch with us. Artemis II's four-astronaut crew is lifting off from @NASAKennedy on an approximately 10-day mission that will bring us closer to living on the Moon and Mars. The launch window opens at 6:24pm ET (2224 UTC). https://t.co/X27QJejNDt
