I am Niley-Joe Star. Japan has taken over the world. we should invest in other worlds and make strong connections to form a multi planet multi system union.
Trillions of dollars richer and studying extensively about Mars, also know as Barsoom, by the Martians. Reading Edgar Rice Burroughs’ “Mars Trilogy” also have both Apollo 11 “Mission to Mars” books from both Buzz and MC. Also have been finishing Red Star, about Mars! I am great!
@XFreeze The future is now thanks to @elonmusk I hope we just keep winning and winning all the way to the Moon, to Mars, to Jupiter and Saturn and on to the Stars. Take Tesla robots and SpaceX rocket tech we can conquer the solar system.
Happy vernal equinox! 🍀
Today marks the first day of spring in the Northern Hemisphere and the first day of autumn in the Southern Hemisphere.
After today, the Sun will shine more directly on the Northern Hemisphere than on the Southern Hemisphere until the autumnal equinox.
@TheDemocrats I hope this legislation goes forth in the senate, and passes. The ACA is a good deal, health insurance should be free, at least provided as a basic human right.
Imagine this: Just 40 light-years away, orbiting a dim red dwarf star called TRAPPIST-1, there's a rocky world the size of Earth — TRAPPIST-1e. For years, it's teased astronomers as the ultimate "Goldilocks" planet: perfectly positioned in the habitable zone where liquid water could splash across its surface... if it has the right atmosphere to make it https://t.co/SKYATuvVYe, the James Webb Space Telescope has peered deeper than ever. Across four transits in 2023, JWST's NIRSpec/PRISM instrument captured faint whispers in the starlight filtering through the planet's edge. No thick, puffy hydrogen blanket like a mini-Neptune. No scorching CO₂ hell like Venus, and no thin, frozen CO₂ veil like Mars. Instead? Tantalizing hints of a thin, stable secondary atmosphere — one born from the planet's own volcanic outgassing over billions of years.The data point to something nitrogen-dominated, much like Earth's air (78% nitrogen), possibly laced with traces of methane. This kind of envelope could trap just enough heat, shield against the red dwarf's nasty flares, and — crucially — allow oceans to exist without boiling away or freezing solid.Scientists are buzzing with excitement but keeping the champagne on ice. Stellar spots and flares from the rowdy host star are still muddying the signal. The current evidence favors a nitrogen-rich world over a bare rock... but it's not conclusive yet. More than a dozen additional JWST transits are already scheduled through 2025 to sharpen the picture and hunt for definitive chemical fingerprints — water vapor, maybe even biosignatures down the line.If confirmed, TRAPPIST-1e would instantly become the closest known "Earth twin" with a potentially habitable atmosphere — a prime target for the ultimate question: Are we alone?Source:

STARSHIP rocket 🚀 launch going up in just about 15 minutes. Hope that it is a success. No rapidly unscheduled disassembly please. The future of space flight is starting, today. To the Moon, to Mars, and Beyond. @SpaceX@SpaceXStarship@Starlink
