While Electron waits on the pad at LC-2 in Virginia for launch this weekend, the LC-1 team in New Zealand completed payload encapsulation for @BlackSky_Inc and @SpaceflightInc. We love a busy launch schedule!

That’s a lot of #lava! 🌋 #BlackSky imagery captured lava still flowing on the #MaunaLoa #volcano a few days after its eruption on Nov. 27. #Hawaii #MaunaLoaEruption

@elonmusk That was my favorite book from the series.

@MKBHD I’ve wondered if the consciousness that exists “today” as “me” will actually die/cease to exist tonight when I go to sleep, and then someone else with these memories will wake up tomorrow.

@bonnienorman I have a roomba, but with a German Shepherd during shedding season, vacuuming is definitely a daily thing. Have been looking at this, so thanks for the rec!

What is it about late night coding and a glass of wine that helps me do my best work?! — me, reflecting on my work from last night.

I don’t really think the increasingly open sedition and authoritarianism hurts the GOP electorally very much if at all.

@elonmusk Even without FSD (planning to upgrade next year), I really like the holiday update UI changes! For navigation however, could we get the turn-by-turn directions to always show above the car visualization, or have it be an option?

[Nic Gaudio @nicgaudio]

@SpaceCliffie Best friends already!!!

@MandyStarlight @bbcdoctorwho This is absolutely amazing!!!

No matter how you’re celebrating this year, Champ and Major wish you a Merry Christmas.

[BlackSky @BlackSky_Inc]

Was it too cloudy at your house to see the recent #ChristmasStar aka the #conjunction of #Jupiter and #Saturn? Thankfully BlackSky was able to get you a slightly closer view of this rare event from one of our satellites. #HappyHolidays!

Let me see if I have this straight:

Billionaires "deserve" all that passive income because they work hard

But people who work minimum wage jobs for 80 hours a week don't "deserve" a living wage because they aren't working hard enough

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Hmm. What do you call a billionaire who registered a $40 million, 164-foot yacht in the Cayman Islands to avoid $2.4 million in U.S. taxes, while undermining public schools? The worst Education Secretary in the history of America. Bye-bye, Betsy DeVos. You won't be missed.

@dog_rates Those. Are. Magical.
