This is probably the best look at the shockwaves I’ve seen from the latest Starship flight.
Captured from a GoPro I clamped onto a proper camera to record simultaneous video. (I’ll show you the photo the better camera took in the reply)
We're building a Moon Base!
@NASAMoonBase will serve as a habitat where astronauts live and work during long-term science missions.
Join us at 2pm ET on Tuesday, May 26, for a live news event where we’ll share updates on our lunar exploration plans: https://t.co/IJXA7xYwju
The view from inside Integrity as recovery forces pop open the hatch…watching the helicopter pass over their shoulders and hearing all the joy, it was as good as it gets.
Earthshine.
Artemis II astronaut Christina Koch captured this video of Earth outside the windows of the Orion spacecraft during the second flight day of the mission. Orion was roughly 33,800 miles (54,500 km) away from Earth when @Astro_Christina took this video.
Only one chance in this lifetime…
Like watching sunset at the beach from the most foreign seat in the cosmos, I couldn’t resist a cell phone video of Earthset. You can hear the shutter on the Nikon as @Astro_Christina is hammering away on 3-shot brackets and capturing those exceptional Earthset photos through the 400mm lens. @AstroVicGlover was in window 3 watching with @Astro_Jeremy next to him.
I could barely see the Moon through the docking hatch window but the iPhone was the perfect size to catch the view…this is uncropped, uncut with 8x zoom which is quite comparable to the view of the human eye. Enjoy.
"The gratitude of seeing what we saw, doing what we did… it’s too big to just be in one body."

The web's brightest days are ahead.
1️⃣ The web is AI's natural medium. LLMs are proficient in web tech. The browser is now everyone's IDE. No 'App Store' bs.
2️⃣ As we approach coding superintelligence, powerful low-level web APIs are maturing: WebGPU, HTML in Canvas, WebAssembly. The performance ceiling of the web will vanish, and you'll witness the most impressive, whimsical, and multi-dimensional pages and apps.
3️⃣ Generative UI is AI's final form. The web will be the birthplace of "AGUI". Each hyperlink providing a just-in-time, beautifully personalized experience.
If you bet on the web, you bet on the right horse.
