You're in Buenos Aires? Eric, first of all. How dare you?

¿Algún físico teórico, geómetra, topólogo u otro «malviviente» de la ciencia tiene ganas de tomar una cerveza cerca de Palermo-SoHo y hablar de lo nuestro —en inglés y en «español Tarzán»—? Avísenme. ¡Gracias!

PICARD: Data, shields up

DATA: Brilliant! Shields can reduce damage we sustain. Not immunity. Not hubris. Just prudence. It's not precaution—it's strategy.

[camera shakes]

WORF: HULL BREACHES ON NINE DECKS

DATA: Here's what happened: you told me to raise shields, and I didn't

POV: You’re coming home after a journey around the Moon. 🌕

Before reentering Earth’s atmosphere at the end of Artemis II, the Orion spacecraft’s crew module — carrying the astronauts — separated from the service module that provided propulsion and power throughout the mission.

[Jason Major @JPMajor]

This is dumb. There are blue spots, specks, scratches, flares, and bits of crud in almost ALL of the Apollo photos. They were TAKEN WITH FILM CAMERAS IN SPACE—not to mention chemically developed and then scanned by various methods over the course of six decades.

@pmisson @planet4589 Sí, me gustaría intentar identificar de qué satélite o cohete se trataba.

@planet4589 Hi Jonathan, multiple witness saw this last night from Bahía Blanca, Argentina around 0341 UTC, moving from SSE to NNW. Was any reentry expected at that time?

[Jonathan McDowell @planet4589]

The Artemis II cubesats TACHELES, SWC-1 and K-RADCUBE have now been identified on Space-Track. ATENEA was not cataloged+was expected to have reentered at 1st perigee since it had no propulsion to raise its orbit. K-RAD may also have reentered, and is reported to have failed

[Jonathan McDowell @planet4589]

It's that time of year again....

Hermosa mañana para los terraplanistas, verdad?

[Ozan Bellik @BellikOzan]

15 years ago the United States had an operational spacecraft that had more pressurized volume than the Apollo command module, could dock with other spacecraft, and could return to Earth with a primary heat shield that happened to be lunar capable.

The manufacturer had even offered to modify it for carrying crew.

And it was light enough that even modified for crewed lunar work, it could have been flown on a commercial rocket with a service module big enough to get it in and out of lunar orbit.

Instead of following that tech tree to its logical conclusion, we poured $30 billion into a paper spacecraft that is just now almost ready to fly humans.
(To say nothing of its even more problematic launch vehicle.)

Invisible by design, engineered for authenticity. See how the award-nominated visual effects team brought #F1TheMovie to life.

[Ken Kirtland IV @KenKirtland17]

Painful reminder that its never been more over.

Really is poetic in the worst way that the year SpaceX solves Starship will also be the year that SpaceX (in every meaningful way) ends.

[For All Mankind @forallmankind_]

On Mars and beyond, the next great chapter begins.

@Bracesco2023 "Desastrosa" con z en el primer párrafo. Así cualquiera escribe un libro, eh.

[Reid Wiseman @astro_reid]

On the eve of our countdown demonstration test, we paid homage to the Apollo 1 crew. Moving, somber, necessary.

[NASA History Office @NASAhistory]

Pete Conrad, Alan Bean, Dick Gordon, and 75 lbs (34 kg) of lunar samples splashed down #OTD in 1969 to complete the second crewed mission to the Moon!

Like the crew of Apollo 11, the Apollo 12 astronauts spent 3 weeks in quarantine in case they were infected by Moon pathogens.

[Stuart Atkinson @mars_stu]

So now Comet 3i is going to ignore Earth altogether and launch probes at Jupiter when it passes that planet instead! It really is time the astronomy community pushed back against this guy, hard. He's making a laughing stock of the science and spreading absolute nonsense.

@Bracesco2023 Chupacirios, antisemita, conspiranoico, promotor de delirios pseudocientíficos, ¿qué seguirá después? Todo vale cuando se trata de clickbait...
