#OTD In 1987, #RonaldReagan challenged Mikhail Gorbachev to "Tear Down this Wall!" at the Brandenburg Gate.

Now’s a great time to read (or re-read) my 2020 op-ed, wherein I explain exactly how #DavidBowie’s music led to #Reagan’s infamous demand.

It’s extremely suspicious that this and prior admins didn’t attempt to pierce FSIA to bring charges against #China and #Russia for their destructive, illegal ASAT tests. The bill for us having to now track and clean up their space debris could easily exceed $1 trillion dollars. @SpaceLawSociet1 @GtownSpaceLaw @StateDept_SP @USAmbCD @NASASpaceOps @CelesTrak @DOD_Policy @SpaceForceDoD @US_SpaceCom @1stSpaceBrigade @SLDelta30 @US_STRATCOM @NDIA_MissileDef @MissileDefAdv @ArmySMDC @100thMDB_GMD

The FCC has fined Dish Network $150,000 for failing to properly remove a satellite from geostationary orbit, the U.S. regulator said Oct. 2 in its first space debris enforcement action https://t.co/GmzaIhVR6K

@Sandbagger_01 Congrats to @SatelliteVu on this towering achievement. The human rights and climate applications are limitless. From detecting mass graves in the Sahel and Ukraine, to detecting clandestine PRC biomass liquefaction pits, to detecting heat from illicit industrial processes… BZ.

@LispyGeniusKid @engineering Maybe I should tag specific individuals? 🤔

@LispyGeniusKid @engineering Pretty amazing that it’s been 10 days since I noticed this menu not working and it still isn’t fixed… surely I haven’t been the only one stymied in my efforts to corral my push notifications. It must be a very hard problem. I wonder who has ownership of this on the @engineering team?

Day 2,705 of Shahab Dalili's unlawful detention in #Iran.

Pls #StandUp4Shahab.
Call on @POTUS & @SecBlinken to bring Shahab Dalili Home.

Every voice counts. Help reunite Shahab with his family after 7+ yrs.

DO NOT try this at home. You could go blind.

I modified one of my telescopes to be safe for observing the sun, and this is what it captured. This is a section of the sun's chromosphere I captured from my backyard a few days ago. This is part of an much bigger project.

[Free_Dalili @Shahab_Dalili]

@brett_mcgurk @JakeSullivan46, it is not too late yet! You still have time to demand that #ShahabDalili be included in this deal.

@CitrineGlitter2 @RNSuperHero I have no control over that. What can *I* do to help? I’d give someone the shirt off my back if it meant helping sick people. I’ve done the “overnight shift” she’s talking about back when a friend had Hodgkins Lymphoma. Scariest nights of my life.

@EnemyInAState COVID is a hard problem, and it’s not going away.

[Kyle Olbert @KyleOlbert]

@FRANKCHIUSANO State ID should be FREE. Once @X ID verification rolls out, states will essentially be erecting a tax on becoming @premiumbusiness. That will make the Internet less safe. I hope that @LindaYaX and others rolling out anti-bot ID verification systems will lobby/demand that IDs be free. 🆓
