@FPI_Lab @CWRU_MAE @CaseEngineer @AFOSR Hahaha it's a nostalgia trip

Congrats on the grant! It must be so exciting!

Looks like @Caltech is on track to fly its Space Solar Power demo mission on the @SpaceX Transporter-6 launch in Dec this year

This is exciting! The demo includes an on-orbit test of folding methods I helped develop!

The demo mission will be enabled by @momentusspace's Vigoride spacecraft, which looks to have undergone further testing since its first launch earlier this year

Robotic exploration within the clouds of Venus?
This concept was tested in the Nevada desert with an “aerobot,” or aerial robotic balloon, that could eventually help us better understand our sister planet’s thick and corrosive atmosphere. https://t.co/Rb0H7obNic

Album № 21

Ice, Death, Planets, Lungs, Mushrooms And Lava

OUT TODAY YAY!

Constructed out of long improvised jam sessions and cut together on 8 track 1/2 inch tape. Fucking fun to make. Heaps to dig into here. Everyone really shines. This is our most collaborative album ever.

Beautiful people at the Berkeley Greek soaking in the music of @kinggizzard

So happy we get THREE new records this month 🎸⚡💿

When SLS launches Artemis I (hopefully this month or next) it will carry numerous secondary missions looking at water/ice distribution on the Moon and one even testing a "semi-soft" (?!) landing. Really excellent overview— as usual!— from @uncertainquark https://t.co/J20F8Z3oop

@aimlab_uh Any better than the first?

(please say yes)

As a structures person, this was the obvious thing to visit in St Louis

It is a very big catenary arch made of stainless steel and prestressed concrete
