Systems Engineer, industrializing space one day at a time. Opinions are my own.

If Stargate Universe was allowed to continue it would’ve been the Stargate Universes (pardon the pun) Battlestar Galactica.

Hands down. The best Stargate of them all if they allowed it to continue to develop.

Stargate SG1 and Stargate Atlantis walked and ran so Stargate Universe could have a shot.

I will never forgive the studio for cancelling this just as it got good. Shame.

Wish Amazon MGM truly realised the GOLDEN IP they had at their disposal.

Stargate fills a hole in Scifi that other shows can’t replicate and in an age of large swathes of people wearing their views on their shoulders be it politics or general views.

Stargate managed to be progressive, action packed, funny, emotional whilst catering to a wide net of people.

Stargate quite literally worked because it catered to all and let us all eat happily whilst not becoming preachy at all.

Why can’t people see this! #SaveStargate

I mean c’mon. This is a real photo 😭

the most confusing part of the odyssey is how this took 10 years

[Simon Patané @simoncpatane]

@pronounced_kyle That's what it looked like, very nice

[NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman @NASAAdmin]

This mission is a bold demonstration of American ingenuity that could change how we maintain, upgrade, and operate spacecraft for years to come.

Every new capability we prove today expands what’s possible tomorrow.

Beginning today, we are industrializing nuclear battery production at the historic Vallecitos Nuclear Center.

With this facility, we will deliver our first nuclear battery to customers in 2027 and scale production in 2028 - powering critical missions from the seabed to the lunar surface.

[Alder @alder_riley]

ISRU is critical for life off-world but it is also crucial for thriving here on Earth. Itemfarm builds machines that use the material around you to manufacture what you need.

In 2026 we're scaling so when humanity expands off world we'll be ready.

Creation is for everyone.

[Simon Patané @simoncpatane]

@interplanetary Couldn't agree more

[Zeno Power @zeno_power]

We cleared a major technical milestone for our space nuclear battery to power lunar missions.

Earthset.

The Artemis II crew captured this view of an Earthset on April 6, 2026, as they flew around the Moon. The image is reminiscent of the iconic Earthrise image taken by astronaut Bill Anders 58 years earlier as the Apollo 8 crew flew around the Moon.

[星出 彰彦 (JAXA宇宙飛行士) @Aki_Hoshide]

The Moon is definitely a lot closer than just a few hours ago!

[NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman @NASAAdmin]

In the next 24 hours, the Artemis II crew will be on the far side of the Moon, farther into space than any humans in history.

Even as they reach this historic milestone, we will continue learning a great deal about the Orion spacecraft, setting us up for Artemis III next year and America’s grand return to the lunar surface on Artemis IV in 2028.

Oh my god it’s beautiful

[NASA @NASA]

This view just hits different 🌍

@Astro_Christina and @astro_reid take a moment to look back at Earth as they continue deep into space toward the Moon.

@pronounced_kyle Behind every great wolf is a pup yearning for more factorio

[zach @zachglabman]

nobody wants to hear this but the reason so many mechanical engineers are bad at their jobs is they were told they could learn to design without learning to manufacture
