This launch of Ariane 6 will break it’s own record for the largest commercial payload ever sent into space, coming in at a whopping 20,800kg. This is the first commercial payload to eclipse the 20 ton mark.

This is a really cool opportunity for kids around the world!

Your child’s drawing on a real rocket? 🤩 Kids up to 12 can create a space-inspired drawing for a chance to see it printed on the fairing of Ariane 6, for the launch of Plato next year. ✨ Submit by 1 July 2026! More info 👇 www.esa.int/kids/en/thin...

I'm gonna be real. Prime becoming one of the broadcasters for NASCAR has been one of the best things to happen to this sport in YEARS. Their broadcasts are lightyears ahead of anything Fox or NBC had put together in years. Although the CW has also been doing a fantastic job in the O'Reilly series.

Weird day.

Nothing like continually adding mods to your KSP save until the game starts wheezing

Spacecraft are cool. Spacecraft that are going to land on the Moon are cooler. Definitely one of the more fun photoshoots of my career so far!

I'd just like to point out that right now even in the most ambitious timelines for both the US and China we're looking at *maybe* having four total people on the Moon at the same time in 2030?

are you planning to invest in SpaceX? or conversely, are you planning to divest from funds (like index funds) that will hold SpaceX shares? lmk if yes and you want to talk about why. always need investors' views for ongoing reporting but can be on or off the record... DM's open, Signal handle in bio

Beverly just put a pair of Synthesia visualizations of some of her work on Artemis The First Flight and I cant even begin to tell you how incredible seeing her work like this is. She elevated my silly little project into something truly special ❤️ youtu.be/3oYUC6WLgEI?...

As rough as this conference was to watch for the actual planning bits of it... It was really freaking cool to see a photo I took in a NASA press conference today.

Todays announcements so far are literally just three missions that already existed now being called Moon Base I, II, and III I genuinely cannot believe how stupid this is.

So Jared Isaacman's Moon Base Is just rebranding the CLPS program. What are we doing here...

It's always nice when there is a reminder that things can and do actually get better. Even if sometimes we take the long way around, we can still get there.

Forza Horizon 6 is awesome. I cant remember the last time I've had this much fun online and just making cool stuff with random people.

Not a good launch for Starship today. You'll see SpaceX and pundits try and paint it as a good one, but it missed multiple critical milestones today for future missions. Complete loss of control of booster after stage separation, loss of engine and trajectory on ship, and cancellation of relight.

I have to be blunt. If this mission happens Chun will die on it. Starship is beyond ill equipped to do something like this, and after some of the decision making in the leadup to his prior SpaceX flight, I doubt he would be prepared in the slightest to handle a spacecraft in an emergency.

Just saw the news about Kyle Busch, I can’t believe he’s gone. He was one of the first drivers I was ever a fan of as a kid, watching him with my Dad as he races the M&Ms car at Atlanta Motor Speedway is a memory I have held dearly for a long time. The NASCAR community will sorely miss him.

big team of tech reporters peeling out what you need to know about the SpaceX IPO plan here... SpaceX spent $131 million on Cybertrucks y'all.

Recent changes to the Artemis architecture signal a rapidly shifting landscape in human space exploration, underscoring a broader reality: Europe has become too exposed to decisions beyond its control. Read my latest article: www.linkedin.com/pulse/we-pil...

Back to work at LC-36 this week and let me tell you it is a sight to see! For the first time two New Glenn rockets are in flow simultaneously, "Never Tell Me The Odds" is undergoing refurbishment for its third mission, with "No, It's Necessary" being prepared for its maiden flight!

Scott here fails to mention one major part of this drop. There are some photos from Apollo landings that show amazing finds like dust on the camera lens, light refraction, or minor imperfections in the film! Clearly a major news item

Life Pro Tip Don't be sick on your Birthday, especially if your friends planned something cool to do with you.

The third SLS rocket was delivered to Kennedy Space Center just a few weeks after the Artemis II mission launched. The stage has been mated to its engine section for final outfitting ahead of stacking later this year for the Artemis III mission. 📸 NASA/Frank Michaux

Are hockey fights fractal in their growth?

I always forget how aggressive GT3 racing is on iRacing Probably not the best thing for me to be doing while nursing a con-cold 😅

There is now a youtube channel running a 24/7 live stream of a bogosort Its apparently been going for more than 20 days though the current stream has only been up since April 30th. So far the best its done is 15 correct placements out of 25 www.youtube.com/live/DgfiqGP...

My former colleagues at Space Scout have put together an excellent piece talking about Jared Isaacman’s destructive actions within the agency. www.spacescout.info/2026/05/op-e...

Whilst browsing my phone on a bus ride back from FRC Worlds, I have stumbled onto an old abomination I made. Behold, the Meatcube

I DONT KNOW HOW BUT IMMA TAKE IT

No one who actually completed a moonshot gets paid this much.

About 110 years ago a woman testified to Congress on methods of transporting eggs that increased efficiency/reduced waste during WWI. Before she could even exercise her right to vote. She'd climb on top of refrigerated rail cars to check & chart temps. Went on to patent refrigeration methods.

1) There's no reason an administrator at NASA should care how a Solar System body is categorized. 2) NASA isn't the org that makes classification determinations for Solar System objects. 3) If Isaacman wants Pluto reclassified again, he can lobby the International Astronomical Union on his own time.

The first event of the 2026 Indy 500 is underway! Open testing at the speedway for teams to start honing in their cars ahead of qualifying in a few weeks! www.youtube.com/live/oDYPzy1...

HWO is meant for launch in the 2040s, 15 to 20 years from now, and is a single telescope. Design not chosen yet. "Launch part of it in 4 years, no budget change" is.. wut? I'm not following what's even suggested here.

Got to play around with a lunar lander this week 😎

An infographic poster about NASA's Millennium rocket, a (fictional) reusable launch vehicle developed to replace the space shuttle in the 2010s.

What a time for my internet to go out for like 2 hours

I have spent a lot of time around rockets in my career, but only a few times around the actual spacecraft. I gotta say it’s pretty surreal to look at some of these machines up close

So SpaceX is not in a great place now, but I think the biggest part of this that I see as an alarm bell is how prior to their merger with XAi they already had more than 20 Billion in debt www.reuters.com/legal/transa...

Back Home, Missing A Friend

After much debate from certain people over whether or not the people working on Artemis II knew what they were doing when they said they understood why the heat shield on Artemis I wore unevenly, I think it's safe to say that the scientists and engineers got this one right.

Some more of my work from Artemis 2

Weird day. Decently happy with the work I did but feels a bit hollow after the mission loss.

Go for launch at 0725 Eastern pending the completion of trajectory upload to the vehicle.

GLS immediately called a hold for a Hydrogen Vent. Waiting for more information
