@mbahareth @wholemars The card number and CVV number is located on your X Money dashboard here on X. No store requires customers to provide their card information. That's all embedded in chip

These kinds of titanium spheres are nicknamed "space balls" in the space debris community because they frequently survive re-entry due to titanium’s high melting point. They’ve been found before from Russian upper stages.
The Australian Space Agency has said they’ve identified the likely source but are still working with international partners to formally confirm which rocket and which country it came from. They haven’t made an official announcement naming Russia yet, but the physical characteristics line up strongly with Russian Fregat-type hardware.

@hovinthenorth The MrBeast video is engagement farming though

@saundby This is why we need more space communicators.
Not just ones that focus on astronomy and their own careers. Actual advocates for crewed space exploration.

We’re still arguing about whether going back to the moon is worth it?

Sometimes reality is crazier than science fiction. This is the international space station, carrying humans, passing between my spot in the desert and the moon.

This video was slowed down significantly, as the ISS was only in my field of view for about 150ms

@AJamesMcCarthy It's so easy to forget how far we've come in space exploration in the past 30 years
To say nothing of the past 15

ALVIN sank‽ I never read that story. What's wild to me is that I've read about ALVIN all my life. It's been a part of the most well-known deep sea expeditions in history. I've even seen science communicators in the last few months talk about what it takes to become an ALVIN pilot.
Just figured that there was a fleet

[Space Pirate @schweitzer_wil]

@WHOI What do you mean there is only 1 ALVIN submersible submersible? And its been in service for 62 years🤯
