I love this so much doubly so since I was one of those kids growing up on a military base overseas going to @DeptofDefense school 🚸📚❤️🚀🇺🇸

Watch @NASA_Astronauts Suni Williams and Nick Hague speak to students in Stuttgart, Germany, on Dec. 11, live on @NASA+. Hague will also talk to students on Kwajalein Island on Dec. 12. nasa.gov/news-release/n…

Agreed if you buy that at its face, the unfortunate truth was that the nasa admin during bush era lied about the ability to refurbish and technical ground that was covered by shuttle to get funded - I do believe if they presented it all as new dev it wouldn’t have been approved

I believe they were optimizing for the minimum amount of hardware they could build while being paid the money that was available for them.

Is there a reason Artemis is so hardware poor? You’d think Locksneed and Boing would want to sell more stuff

People who say "we should solve the problems on Earth first" understand neither where solutions come from nor where problems come from.

In 2005, humanity made history by landing on Titan, Saturn's largest moon—1.4 billion km from Earth! * Thanks to Titan's thick atmosphere and low gravity, the Huygens Lander parachuted down, capturing breathtaking photos. Oh, and did we mention Titan has oceans? What excites you…

On this day four short years ago, Starship SN8 took to the skies and blew all of our minds. I so can't wait to see a ship bellyflopping again! Where do you think the Starship program will be four years from now? @NASASpaceflight

That is so cool. Jack (@thejackbeyer) is just calling Don (@astro_Pettit) on the ISS, live! Thanks to NASA for setting this up! Live now on X and YT: youtube.com/watch?v=gYlPy7…

For the record, the dual HLS taxi idea is an *old* one. It's been around since at least April '21. Ken and I seem to have arrived at it independently right around the time of the original HLS selection announcement, and there might be others who thought of it even earlier. It…

Here's a video from Ken a year earlier (May '21) that talks about this: youtube.com/watch?v=XeIfsq… And here's a note from me from April 20 '21, 4 days after NASA announced Starship as the winner of the HLS competition, and thread w/ more deets the next day. x.com/BellikOzan/sta…

Woah, I think I'd missed the fact that the Artemis II heat shield is less permeable than the Artemis I heat shield and is more susceptible to trapped gases breaking chunks off.

I spoke with @CharlieCamarda about his concerns regarding NASA's heat shield, as well as Paul Hill, the chair of the Independent Review Team that sided with NASA's decision to fly Orion as-is. arstechnica.com/space/2024/12/…

Proba-3 will image a rarely seen part of the Sun's corona, and do it by holding position between two satellites with millimeter-level precision. A super cool mission. arstechnica.com/space/2024/12/…

I made a liquid metal ion thruster so you don't have to ☺️ (it was very difficult 😩)

This was 8 years ago. Now they launch and land boosters 8 times about every 2 weeks, regularly fly people, and have built and flown the biggest rocket ever. Where will they be in 8 years?

>Launch 8 times in one year >Land first booster ever >Years from flying people >Talk about building the biggest rocket ever to fly a million people to Mars Spaceflight fans today have no idea how absolutely bonkers this was.

The fact that NASA never built a spin gravity space station is evidence that their institutional will died decades ago. Likely when they cancelled the Saturn 5 program Or when they approved the space shuttle
