No regrets, no refunds. All's relative anyway. Observe and then conclude. Views my own. 🇦🇹🇦🇺

@ArianeGroup Absolutely stunning, well done!

@ShuttleAlmanac (sorry couldn't read the ingredients - my Japanese is non existent)

[Christian Fercher @mAb_Merz]

@ShuttleAlmanac In the office? What's your day job? While not drinking much Coke at all, I'd be interested in the difference. Can't stand any "artificial" sweeteners so Zero or Light or Max really isn't an option. What's the difference with this one? Sugar cane vs corn syrup?

[Christian Fercher @mAb_Merz]

@NASAhistory The tension and final relief to see the sky crane manoeuver (for the first time) work is incredible to watch. Human engineering at its finest. Well done JPL, what an achievement 13 years ago...

[Christian Fercher @mAb_Merz]

@Spacefaan101 @ShuttleAlmanac @luke_leisher_ Didn't sound like one to me. It's just still a long way to compare apples with apples...

[Christian Fercher @mAb_Merz]

@Shayan86 @talhagin Sir, it's incredibly eye-opening that a Jerry meme weirdly means more than more than a decade of personal efforts making a difference. Some may disagree for sure but I just want to take the opportunity to thank you for your service once again...

[Christian Fercher @mAb_Merz]

@talhagin I see your frustrations Tal but let me assure you that I consider Shayan and you some of the most important contributions to the Twitter information environment. Unintended maybe, but vital nonetheless. You can't stop - let me know if we can help

[Christian Fercher @mAb_Merz]

@PettitFrontier Thank you...next! I'm bored

[Christian Fercher @mAb_Merz]

@Zoux_Slim @glowleafx @AccidentalCISO Fair enough but that doesn't mean GPS struggles with the speed of light limit nor has this anything to do with gravity waves. Just means special and general relativity has to be taken into account when processing GPS signals.

[Christian Fercher @mAb_Merz]

@glowleafx @AccidentalCISO Excuse me, what?

[Christian Fercher @mAb_Merz]

@ShuttleAlmanac Beautiful

[Christian Fercher @mAb_Merz]

@Kosmo_Michal Really puts the size of the return capsule into perspective. Procedure is so very Russian (guess Soviet style actually - no judgement). Thanks for sharing, great insight.

[Christian Fercher @mAb_Merz]

@DavidPollackUSA Definitely not my most preferred crew line up but I'd still be the first one to raise my hand if one of them got sick beforehand and couldn't do the trip. I'm sure you'd do, same as pretty much everyone else that replied to your post.

[Christian Fercher @mAb_Merz]

@whartonone @DavidPollackUSA People should know this lol. I like your optimism

[Christian Fercher @mAb_Merz]

@ShuttleAlmanac Apologies, suborbital rocket powered flight far enough above the Carman line to somewhat experience the overview effect and a few precious seconds of micro gravity

[Christian Fercher @mAb_Merz]

@ShuttleAlmanac Fair enough, I totally get the sentiment that we should call some astronauts and other passengers. However, I'd be the first to sign up for a paid suborbital flight (prefer orbital oc) even in the presence of a few intense gals with facial modifications. Such a unique opportunity

[Christian Fercher @mAb_Merz]

@RetroAgent12 Y'all complain about each other's arguments in sometimes viral tweets with the only outcome that the other side doesn't feel like engaging in a genuine conversation even less so. Left and right of centre. I get it, you're frustrated but tell me how is this changing anything?

[Christian Fercher @mAb_Merz]

@ShuttleAlmanac Thought so, my choice too. Thanks for the quick reply

Today the LHCb collaboration posted a #preprint on the first observation of CP violation in baryons. What's the matter?
