Spent just as much time today at the Apple Store (phone repair/update) as a used car dealership (car for family member). Oddly enough the experience at the used car dealership was more service-oriented and enjoyable than Apple. The car dealership kept us statused. Not Apple…

Here are the benifits to using the USA on Artemis III

1. Looks cool as fuck
2. It's litterally called the "USA" so nobody is second guessing who launched it
3. It's already like half built lmao

@astro_anil @rookisaacman The family that dives together, thrives together! Go4EVA!

@SciGuySpace Somebody wake up Hicks

[M Hess @michaelghess1]

@_nativeamerica Very well done! How did she craft it? Wire frame first? Are the feathers made from newspaper or magazine pages?

[M Hess @michaelghess1]

@DJSnM Could you stick Centaur inside it and still use it?

[M Hess @michaelghess1]

@Kuprel @happies_phone Beat me to it - was going to say Doggerland West…

[M Hess @michaelghess1]

@SciGuySpace No gap might be trickier than anticipated. Having a regenerative life support system that is reliable is required for stays greater than about a month…depending on consumable resupply schedule. If you can’t have a robust long-duration life support system, it may be short trips

@NASAAdmin Have you thought about also including Navy nuclear? They build and safely operate many small reactors. Lots of great expertise in design/build/run

[M Hess @michaelghess1]

@NASAAdmin Glad you are looking at the competition model. Best wishes!

@zenanaut @Astro_Kimiya @Astro_ChrisW Go 4 EVA!

[Michigan Aerospace @MichiganAero]

This week, we were honored to host our esteemed Michigan Aerospace Industrial Advisory Board (IAB) members for department updates and insightful conversations. Thank you to those who joined us. We look forward to the next time we can welcome them back to the department!

@astrosociety Great to hear from L-A on the PAM missions

[AstronauticalSociety @astrosociety]

We’re officially underway! 🚀
The 2025 von Braun Space Exploration Symposium starts today in Huntsville, and we couldn’t do it without our incredible sponsors. Thank you all! #IgniteInnovation

[Halo CME @halocme]

The CME seen in STEREO-A HI images is traced back to a diffuse partial halo CME observed by LASCO. I think its origin is a slow eruption between the two coronal holes. Hope this animation helps. I agree with the potential impact around 28-29 September. Need numerical models.

@vast Congrats Kris!

@AdaPereway Kathy said what a nice person Javier was and how much fun they had filming this scene

[M Hess @michaelghess1]

@LucasSa56947288 CNN could do something hysterical…

[M Hess @michaelghess1]

@TurkeyBeaver @SpaceX Congrats Kiko! Go Blue & keep moving forward!

[M Hess @michaelghess1]

@NASAJPL Great series!
