Ad astra!

Liftoff.

The Artemis II mission launched from @NASAKennedy at 6:35pm ET (2235 UTC), propelling four astronauts on a journey around the Moon.

Artemis II will pave the way for future Moon landings, as well as the next giant leap — astronauts on Mars.

Please support federal funding for research. It's the engine that drives new technologies, startups, security, workforce. It's invisible to most people but foundational for our nation. The proposed cuts will hurt us in coming decades...when we can't make up that deficit.

Thanks, @smtikoo & Anton Ermakov, for inviting me to do the Planetary Science & Exploration Seminar @stanforddoerr on the first day of the quarter. Paid my respects to the mascot of the @Stanford Sensitive High Res Ion Microprobe (SHRIMP) lab, of course.

I don’t normally comment on politics but Candace Owens’ apparent support for the Deccan Traps hypothesis over the Chicxulub impact was definitely not on my bingo card. MVGA (Make Volcanism Great Again)?

The older I get the more absurd the concept of “dinosaurs roamed the earth until a great big meteor hit” becomes to me.
