@JollyRogX @feliciaday You’re either deliberately lying, or you believe everything you see on X. This video is 3 months old and has nothing to do with the current protests. It’s easy to look up.

The "but it exploded" take is fine. For the layperson who sees NASA at work, which can't afford to fail, this looks like failure. But for those who know a little bit more, and about iterative design, this was a tremendous success. SpaceX has 2-3 more rockets ready to go.

One thing I love about mostly leaving “academia” is that I absolutely do NOT have to pretend to care about the things that everyone else purports to care about, Foucault among them

IMPACT SUCCESS! Watch from #DARTMIssion’s DRACO Camera, as the vending machine-sized spacecraft successfully collides with asteroid Dimorphos, which is the size of a football stadium and poses no threat to Earth.

@GrubStreetWomen Oooo, I think Binti would be great for that class!

I feel this astronaut’s heartache re: people who actually believe these stupid conspiracy theories, but also I am delighted to learn the word “alunissages” (Moon landings). So pretty!

[Thomas Pesquet @Thom_astro]

Et non on ne va pas démontrer ici que les alunissages ont bien eu lieu, parce que ça a déjà été fait des MILLIONS de fois, c’est partout sur le web, et les mecs n’écoutent pas de toute façon, ils parlent de vérité mais choisissent des trucs qui les arrangent et ignorent le reste.
