Voted for Kodos. Providing a safe haven for scientific pioneers and provocateurs alike. Fight me.

The year is 2038. Everyone who even suggests that Pluto is not a proper planet is brought before The High Council. Those who are found Heretics are sentenced to take the Lowell Observatory tour endlessly, each time kneeling before the bust of Tombaugh, begging forgiveness.

@lukedones yeah the lowell discovery telescope rings a bell every time I accidentally try to observe something inside 4.5 AU

[Rillito Research Institute @RillitoResearch]

all three of these bozos have doctorates now

@lukedones @dsfpspacefl1ght apjl keeps rejecting my critiques of the expanse already, luke

[Rillito Research Institute @RillitoResearch]

@lukedones it's fine I've got non-zero internal cohesion so I won't fall apart

[Rillito Research Institute @RillitoResearch]

[nurse taking my temperature] "so do you guys use the NEATM or a more sophisticated thermal model?"

[Rillito Research Institute @RillitoResearch]

@lukedones based on my current level of nausea, P < 3.2 hrs

[Rillito Research Institute @RillitoResearch]

[nurse taking out hand-held radar gun] "oh it's a full-up thermophysical model, got it"
nurse: "yeah but we have to assume you're convex so please take a deep breath"

drinking a guinness in the woodlands canal is called "the rillito challenge" for a reason

[Rillito Research Institute @RillitoResearch]

When the servers power down on this website you can always find us handing out pamphlets at LPSC before the Woodlands rent-a-cops chase us off in their souped up golf carts again. You'll know we're there if you see the washing machine in the pond behind Goose's Acre

I think I've got a pretty cool job most of the time but I'm definitely not as cool as the [checking notes] mega-rocket repair "red team"

[ARCHIVED: NASA's Exploration Ground Systems @NASAGroundSys]

Billy Cairns, Chad Garrett, and Trent Annis from @NASA's 'red team,' heroes of the Artemis I launch who responded to a hydrogen leak, were thanked & congratulated by Administrator @SenBillNelson. During the Apollo 11 launch, a red team also went to the pad to address a LH2 leak.

@onegrenouille @PlanetDr @J_Noons I dont think that was us, that might be a Ben special

[Rillito Research Institute @RillitoResearch]

I forgot how good some of these early ones were
