Behold the most breathtaking moment in space exploration history: NASA's iconic photograph of astronaut Bruce McCandless II during humanity's first-ever untethered spacewalk in 1984.Strapped into a nitrogen-powered jetpack known as the Manned Maneuvering Unit, McCandless boldly floated completely free—no tether, no lifeline—venturing up to 320 feet (about 98 meters) from the Space Shuttle Challenger, farther than any human had ever drifted before.Against the infinite blackness of space, with Earth glowing brilliantly below, he became the ultimate symbol of human daring and freedom in the void.

@michaelharriot That’s right—coats are a lie.
“If you look at the statistics for hypothermia, most of those people were wearing coats.”

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

People are free to speak whatever classist, racist, false, misogynistic, bigoted comments they’d like.

They do not have the right to force others to endure their harassment and abuse. ✌🏽

It’s not every day that you see a research #nuclear reactor pulse!

[David Burbach (also @dburbach Bluesky) @dburbach]

It is a bad idea for the President to tell the world the U.S. has secret nuclear powered super-weapons and that we've been lying about that for years. Especially if we don't actually have them, which we almost certainly do not.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Sandy Hook happened 6 years ago and we can’t even get the Senate to hold a vote on universal background checks w/ #HR8.

Christchurch happened, and within days New Zealand acted to get weapons of war out of the consumer market.

This is what leadership looks like ⬇️
