At the IAC!! Glory to the CPC!!!

It's easy to blame SpaceX, but it's not SpaceX or a competent space program that will easily get us to the Moon and beyond, it's SpaceX or NOTHING. The US has long hallowed out its institutional capacity well before SpaceX ever took of. If not for SpaceX we'd still need Russia just to go to the ISS

No, I did expect it to be Chinese.

High schooler or ChatGPT? Place your bets now.

Remember when Twitter sued Musk to force him to buy Twitter?

Unspeakable how instrumental fiduciary duties have been to the rise of fascism in the US.

Notice how they didn't find life on Mercury. #Noticing #MercuryHate www.nasa.gov/news-release...

Normally talking about the horrid second order effects of what Israel did in Qatar would be a mere academic exercise about how breaking well understood norms make the whole world less safe. Less than 24 hours later Russia forced NATO planes to intercept a threat in its territory for the first time

I do sometimes morbidly wonder what the response to a modern day Challenger disaster would be with the current culture and administration. Nothing good, of course.

😱

At a minimum why should Dems vote to fund the government without some kind of assurance that the money appropriated gets spent exactly how Congress appropriates it? From a game theory perspective Dems also gotta show willingness to go to a shutdown or they're just gonna get jammed with a Trump bill

🎵 Fly me to the moon Let me play among the stars Let me see what's spring is like on a Jupiter and Mars 🎵

I feel like America is neck deep into its own century of humiliation at this point. Hard to see things get better when we're watching its institutions collapse in real time and the elite on both political ends have all become all but sociopathic.

I'd say this ended up being a massive win that they definitely needed after some very embarrassing failures. Hopefully this good momentum continues onto the next tests. Major congratulations to the SpaceX engineers who made today possible.

It got off the ground???????????????????!!!

You may have mercury poisoning.

Get yourself a girl who is quite eccentric.

IDK why Minnesota can't just be normal and hold a primary. I'd have liked to be able to choose between Fateh and Frey on my own terms and not just at the whims of a few hundred party members.

I wonder if Juno has the dV for an ambitious mission extension that could, for example, put it into orbit around one of the moons as a sort of precursor to JUICE/Europa Clipper or perhaps for a Cassini style grand finale that will let Juno scrape the outer atmosphere on some ambitious final orbits.

NEW: The White House wants to kill off Juno, NASA's mission to uncover Jupiter's secrets. Fortunately, its legacy is clear. Juno's a scientist, but also an artist: it revealed Jupiter as a living van Gogh painting hanging in the sky. Me @sciam.bsky.social www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-...

Remember the room temperature superconductor? 😩

No idea how Newsom plans to keep his name recognition up ahead of an expected 2028 run considering he's gonna be out of office after next year and the contentious 2026 governor race is probably going to divert away a bunch of attention from him once that ramps up.

Person who unironically believed Trump would do an unequivocal act of war against Russia and escalate global nuclear tensions order of magnitudes past what the Cuban Missile Crisis was.

"Moore is running for the Alabama Senate seat"

When I'm in a fold competition and my opponents are Texas Dems and Prigozhin.

Best places for human colonization in the next 1,000 years IMO: Titan > Mars > Callisto > Luna > Ceres > Venus (Airships) > Other ice bodies large enough to be in hydrostatic equilibrium (Triton, Pluto, etc) >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Mercury

Mercury is the only terrestrial planet that doesn't have evidence of life. #MercuryHate

Imagine if Apollo 13 happened today and people would just be making memes about it and the news would probably bring back the Titan submarine oxygen countdown timer and then Charlie Kirk would tweet about how the failure was caused by DEI NASA employees and then...

??????????????????

Lmao.

Is this gonna make Dot Com look like bubble gum when it bursts?

State of La. v. Demesme, 2017-KK-954 (La., decided Oct. 31, 2017) IN SHAMBLES.

First they came for Pluto, but I did not object, for I had cleared my orbit…

MERCURY IS A FRAUD PLANET!!!! CALL IT 0002. 0 ATMOSPHERE 0 MAGNETIC FIELD 0 HYDROSTATIC EQUILIBRIUM 2 MOONS LARGER THAN IT (Titan, 2.57k , Ganymede 2.63k km) SPREAD THE WORD!!! #MercuryIsOverClub #MercuryHate

Why would Dems bother with shrinking the deficit? I just don't see "I'm going to be Bill Clinton 2.0" being a winning message in the Dem primary when voters are going to be wanting real changes (and Republicans have completely debased from being the fiscal conservative party).

SWEET 👏 BUTTER 👏 CHICKEN 👏 IS 👏 A 👏 CRIME 👏AGAINST 👏 HUMANITY 👏

At what point must we Tea Party them?

I'm as brown as a band-aid, apparently.

Tokyo is HUMID this time of year oh my godness.

Me, by the way.

Poetic.

Going back to Japan tomorrow lmao.

No, the death penalty is far too kind. We're sentencing you to walk around Phoenix barefoot for an hour.

The yellow filter in Mexico is real??????????????????
