We're going around the Moon. Come watch with us. Artemis II's four-astronaut crew is lifting off from @NASAKennedy on an approximately 10-day mission that will bring us closer to living on the Moon and Mars. The launch window opens at 6:24pm ET (2224 UTC). twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

@TIME Trash opinion. Why should the UAE endanger its security for your entertainment?
Footage and photos of ongoing attacks should be delayed.
Terrorists during the Mumbai attacks used media coverage to kill numerous people at both the Oberoi Trident and Nariman House.
Do grow up.

So based on this video it took me about 10 minutes to find this LML SAM position to the inch.
One of those things to be mindful of in todays age.

A message from Interim First Minister Misley Mandarin, from the #Chagos Islands with two of his brothers in arms.
We have won a battle for justice — but not yet the war.
Now Parliament must decide whether Britain stands by its people. 🇬🇧🇮🇴

Properly scaled diagram of the journey of Artemis II. Inertial frame of reference. No, the mission won’t land, but it will be going a tremendous distance from Earth. The green circle is the ISS orbit…
Made it for this article: planetocracy.org/p/artemis-ii-i…

ARTEMIS II MISSION TRAJECTORY
380,000 kilometers of empty space. Four astronauts. One spacecraft. And the courage to go where humanity hasn't ventured in half a century.
Artemis II — the journey home to the Moon begins in 2026.

Thread about the laundry fire.
The Angry Gunner@TheAngry53586
Ok this is interesting. Usual caveats apply. First as we discussed in the space, the fire DID spread outside the confines of the laundry, which means containment (stopping spread by radiation/ convection/ conduction) failed badly /1

That Bismarck line about God having a special providence for fools, drunks, and the United States has never rung more true.

The U.S. is running Elon's playbook on LNG: Build it before the world knows it needs it. A decade ago, American LNG exports were near zero. Today the US is the world's largest exporter at 15 billion cubic feet per day with eight new terminals under construction. Capacity doubles to 29 billion cubic feet per day by 2029. Total capital committed: $150 billion. The contracts are 20-year take-or-pay, denominated in USD. During COVID, buyers cancelled every cargo they could. They still paid billions in fixed fees. Then Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz. Qatar, 20% of global LNG supply, went offline. Vessel transits dropped from 129 per day to 4. Europe needed a replacement. BUT the contracts were already signed. US share of European LNG: 27% in 2021, 56% today. Germany went from zero LNG imports to sourcing 94% from America. Japan is locked through 2050. American LNG is a 20-year legal obligation with no exit clause.

If schedule holds, these 3 giant rockets will launch in the next 3 weeks.
From left to right:
New Glenn - satellite launch now, planned for the Moon
Starship - test flight 12 now, planned for the Moon
Artemis - to the Moon and back with 4 crew aboard
Pushing the very edge of our capability as we learn how to more safely & cheaply reach space, to explore all that exists beyond.

...for example, most of China's bomber bases do in fact have aircraft shelters.
They may not be hardened shelters, but you can't just use commercial or 3rd-party (e.g., Russian) imagery to do easy drone/missile targeting, as the aircraft are at least hidden from overhead view.
