Saw this thread on @Reddit last night. Humbled, in awe, and blessed to be here. 1. Picture of a single atom 2. Image is only 0.0000000385% of the total area of the sky. 3. first image of quantum entanglement 4. "Pale Blue Dot." Look up Carl Sagan's quote. #ThankfulThursday

@THEOhioSunDevil this must be WRT the fork

Ohio State isn’t a top 25 lid. Any list for this category without ASU even on it is immediately invalid.

Happy 55 years, Lucasfilm 🥳 George Lucas started the company on this day in 1971 🗓️

There’s a Cold War joke when two rival agents – a KGB one and a CIA one – find themselves in the same bar. The American tells his Russian counterpart: “I have to hand it to you – your propaganda is very impressive.” The Soviet smiles and replies: “It’s nothing compared to American propaganda.” Flummoxed, the American replies: “But we don’t have propaganda.” The Soviet winks and says: “Exactly.” My piece on DhuranDHAR Deragangement Syndrome. timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/dhurandh…

Four humans are about to fall into a 10,000°C wall of plasma at 25,000 mph with a heat shield NASA knows is flawed. Tomorrow evening. Off the coast of San Diego. Orion hits the atmosphere at 36 times the speed of sound. The air can't move out of the way fast enough, so it compresses into a shockwave twice as hot as the surface of the Sun. The plasma ionizes the surrounding air and blocks all radio signals. For several minutes, the crew is falling faster than any humans have ever traveled inside a spacecraft, and nobody on the ground can talk to them. The heat shield is 186 blocks of a material called Avcoat glued to a titanium skeleton. It works by charring, melting, and disintegrating on purpose. The destruction of the outer layer is the cooling mechanism. There is no backup system. No redundancy. The heat shield works or the crew doesn't come home. The Artemis I heat shield came back with over 100 locations where chunks had ripped off. NASA spent two years figuring out why, concluded it was gas pressure building up inside the material during reentry, and decided not to replace the shield. They changed the flight path instead. Steeper angle, less time in the danger zone. NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman said publicly that this approach "is not the right way to do things long term." The capsule will slow from 25,000 mph to 17 mph in thirteen minutes. Parachutes don't even deploy until the last four. Everything before that is managed by a curved piece of titanium and glue entering air twice as hot as the Sun. Tomorrow at 5:07 PM Pacific, San Diego might hear a sonic boom. That sound is four people betting their lives on NASA's math being right.

Nuclear War not in the top 4?

Wazzu Alum THA GOAT Keith Jackson. That voice is STILL College Football Saturday.

I'm just happy my team is mentioned

Juwan Howard had them as the definition of mid. He got canned then two years later and they in the title game. Bjork couldn’t have no one better than Diebler?

That is not how to kiss a loved one

Suck my ass

@IAMBARNINGHARD Meets expectations

My newest kicker on CFB 26 has a last name of “Gooch” Did I recruit and sign him just because of that? How about you mind your damn business

@tubingtyler1 It is all about experiencing the process

@JediASU I hope he does the audition, even if it’s just for the academy.
