🚀 whooosh | 2021 Patti Grace Smith Fellow | Aerospace Engineering @NCState '24 🐺

[donovan ☄ @spaceboydonovan]

Thanks for the support Lars!

[Lars Osborne🔥🚀 (Hydrazine Enjoyer) @lars_0]

This year I have donated to 27 University-Level Student Rocket Teams. I made a list of every team I donated to and what they are doing.
If you want to support space exploration, donating to these teams is the best investment you could make in our future.

@SpaceFan101 @LegMicrorave @Daylight44492 @DavidNagySFgang Wait so they inserted an error?

@pnpgamer @LeahQuack @Genghis_Green @ky_saber Sure but the point being made by @Genghis_Green was that the definition of astronaut has no implication of a persons role in space (pilot, crewmember, etc). It's just a person in space. I'm down to change the definition though if everybody else is lol.

My phone died on the way to my final exam today and I thought no problem I'll charge it at home.

Why did Google and Moodle simultaneously decide that seconds before the exam was ideal to ask for phone authentication?? Saboteurs I stggg... 😭

The space industry has been aware of its lack of racial diversity for a long time. The Patti Grace Smith Fellowship is matching Black undergrads with internships at Airbus, Boeing, and Northrop Grumman, Blue Origin, Relativity, SpaceX and others. #SpaceNewsAwards

@justinbuist @jack_dot_bin I also get annoyed when people mention Elon when they should mention SpaceX, Tesla, etc. It took a lot of people with a lot of talent to make such achievements happen. "Elon did this and that" is demeaning for workers and an unneeded ego boost for Elon. Humble Elon is best Elon.

@DjkaiJones @TDksp123 @KerbalSpaceP Asteroids are in the base game. They were added with the Asteroid Redirect Mission update made in collaboration with NASA in 2014. And they are fully physics-based so you can change their orbits.

The mod just adds the Didymos asteroids between the orbits of Kerbin and Duna.

@SCEtoAUXiliary @thesheetztweetz @RocketLab @Peter_J_Beck To be fair, Beck has openly discussed that he believes he was wrong about both reusability and building big rockets. He's been pretty transparent about Rocket Lab's change of heart including, quite literally, eating his hat haha. https://t.co/wyG4gEj5M3

@TheSpaceGal @dylan @owensfellowship @PGSFellowship @EdesiaNutrition @astroaccess Awesome! Exciting to see @PGSFellowship supported so it can change many more lives like it did mine!

@V_Raptor22 @RDhaniswara ah the twisted ellipse a classic

[Antonio @ChileanAstro]

Bro once I change my oil, replace my turning signal lights, clean my room, get groceries, stop forgetting to eat, and do my laundry it’s over for y’all.

[William Pomerantz @Pomerantz]

It's not too late to apply to @PGSFellowship! This program was designed specifically for Black students who currently have no working experience in aerospace to get started on their careers.

Please apply today and spread the word! Deadline is Halloween!

@AstroMatter @Teslaiowa @astro_jaz Haha I won't smite you either but this dilemma will definitely weigh on my mind 🤔 maybe one day I'll learn to use shuttle as a general term too. Or i'll just call everything spaceship or something haha. I think we can usually infer what the other person means given context 😂

[donovan ☄ @spaceboydonovan]

@AstroMatter @Teslaiowa @astro_jaz Yeah it makes sense and I don't think that there is a much better word for it but the definition seems to vary where some sources say its only THE Space Shuttle, some say its any reusable crewed spacecraft, and some say its only reusable crewed spacecraft that land like aircraft
