At 15 years old, Liv Perrotto’s biggest dream was to meet @elonmusk. She had even written out a list of questions to ask him. Her mother @rebeccaperrotto told me that just days before she passed away from cancer, she had a chance to speak with Elon, but she was too tired and asked him to call later. The questions still sit on her nightstand, unanswered. Liv's mother shared them with me in hopes that Elon would change that today.
1) Are you going to make your own phone?
2) Are you expanding the Tesla Diner to new areas?
3) Will there be any new games with any upcoming Tesla updates?
4) What is your favorite anime?
5) Have you ever been to Japan? What was your favorite place/thing there?
6) Do you know who Hatsune Miku is?
7) Was Ani inspired from Misa from Death Note?
8) Can you make Asteroid (the Shiba Inu zero-g indicator she designed for the Polaris Dawn mission) the mascot for SpaceX?

@GarandThumb1 @LucasBotkin Whatever you do, don’t go see Dr. Acula

@WesternLensman In fairness, who among us hasn't occasionally mistaken their net worth by a factor of <checks notes> somewhere in the range of 60-1600 times its true value?

Omar was asked about the $6-30M net worth figures a few days ago:
“It's not a full picture of the numbers in the way that it is presented in the document because we have to do a range."
"I'm pretty sure it'll get, like, adjusted at some level when those ranges are looked at."

Rep. Ilhan Omar filed documents with Congress saying her wealth was between $6 million and $30 million. Now she says that was a mistake, and her wealth is actually between $18,000 and $95,000. That's quite a difference. From @WSJ: wsj.com/politics/polic…

I need to buy a new second monitor. Years ago I began using this old 1080p monitor with VGA input as a second screen, and while it was completely mismatched to my primary display it was great for displaying videos and screen grabbing things, or running second projects . My main screen is 4K, HDR used for most of the work.
Anyway the crappy old screen died, and I’m torn as to whether to just get another small crappy 1080p display, actually completely reorganize my desk and workflow for something bigger.
I’ll probably just try some virtual display drivers to see if I can at least reproduce my old screen cap capabilities before making other decision.

This is a huge understatement
@NASAAdmin bet that EUS would’ve taken over a year to build- EACH while expecting the SLS core stage to beat that cadence (all under the same contractor)
Note that SLS & EUS share the same production tooling between the core stage & EUS’ LH2 tank

It amuses me that people think this "standardized" version of SLS will increase cadence alone, while lacking a second tower and funding to make it possible. Call your reps, this can still be stopped. #ArtemisII

@LukeDanger @rookisaacman @AeroBigMike @NASAAdmin My goal has always been more SLS flights. While this specific discussion does not pertain to that in great detail, Isaacman does mention the possibility of retaining ML-2 here for other SLS flights, which is in my opinion, a good thing.

I understand some in the community have an affinity for specific hardware, but the focus should be on outcomes. With respect to SLS, the desired outcome is launching crewed Orion spacecraft at a reasonable cadence, rebuilding muscle memory, and buying down risk so we can land astronauts on the Moon. This is until such time as there are multiple crewed pathways that allow us to undertake lunar missions with even greater frequency and at lower cost, so that Artemis can live on for decades into the future.
The idea that Artemis II was only held up by the heat shield is not correct. Administrator Bill Nelson stated in December 2024, two years after Artemis I flew, that we would refly the same heat shield design on Artemis II, yet the mission did not fly until April 2026. On a side note, if leadership knew at the time that Artemis II would not launch until April 2026, it probably would have made sense to replace the heat shield altogether.
Even with as clean of a mission as Artemis II, it is hard to imagine waiting until 2028 to fly again and jump right to a lunar landing. SLS and Orion must launch with a reasonable cadence, and we need every opportunity to learn. That is why we added Artemis III, an easy trade against funding programs overbudget and behind schedule, in advance of a landing on Artemis IV.
You cannot point to the ML-2 structure and a single EUS tank and say it was “pretty much done" and you certainly have no specifics as to the suitability of stage adapter. The Government Accountability Office has been clear on the timing and remaining costs for both ML-2 and EUS, based on a history of OIG oversight reports. Simply put, we would be committing billions more to troubled programs when we can work cooperatively with the OEM and its joint venture to leverage an in-production upper stage with decades of flight heritage and get very good at turning ML-1. Of course, we retain the option of working with industry on ML-2, converting it to the SLS standard, or harvesting parts.
I am not here to favor companies or perpetuate underperforming programs. I do not want to throw away billions of taxpayer dollars, and time we do not have, on a flavor of a rocket that is not necessary to return astronauts to the moon. Those billions could go toward more Artemis missions or more science and discovery. Our focus must be on the immensely hard task of sending astronauts to the Moon with frequency and safely so we can land and stay.
Above all else, I care about outcomes, and so does the hardworking team at NASA, focused on delivering for the American people and everyone around the world who eagerly await the headlines we all experienced this past weekend.
