Potential Memoir title: I’m sorry, I thought this was a shortcut

Pleased to share my favorite high-resolution capture of the Artemis II launch- the moment the SLS is clearing the tower, captured by a sound-triggered camera placed near the pad. I'll have prints linked in my bio for this one, and here's a short thread about how it was captured

@stevemorris__ No belt is a choice

I've never quite seen anyone speak and move like this. Really not sure what to make of it

ARTEMIS II AS SEEN BY THE OFFICIAL NASA CESSNA THIS IS THE BEST LAUNCH VIDEO AND IT ISN'T CLOSE

no matter what’s going on in the world. this is very, very, very freaking awesome

This is the shot you can’t get from the press site. This camera was sitting a few football fields from the SLS rocket at Pad 39B for days before launch, baking in the Florida sun, surviving rain, humidity, and whatever else the Cape threw at it. No photographer behind the viewfinder. Just a camera, a sound trigger, and a bet. The way pad remotes work: you set your camera up days in advance, dial in your composition, lock everything down, and walk away. You don’t touch it again until after the launch. The shutter fires on sound activation with a @MiopsTrigger smart+ trigger. With SLS, the four RS-25 engines ignite six seconds before the solid rocket boosters, so the camera is already firing before the vehicle even leaves the pad. You get home, pull the card, and find out if you nailed it or if a bird landed on your lens two days ago and left your a present and you got 400 photos of soemthing crappy. There’s no formula for protecting your gear this close. Some photographers build wooden boxes with doors that pop open. Some use plastic bags and tape. Some do plastic or metal barn door rigs on hinges. I tend to leave mine open just in plastic rain covers because boxes limit my composition and setup time, but that means your cameras are more exposed to the elements and whatever energy and debris comes off the pad. You’re basically gambling a camera body every time you set one. That’s what I love about this genre. There’s no playbook. You make it up as you go. Every time is an adventure. 📸 credit: me for @SuperclusterHQ - Artemis II pad remote | ~1,000 ft from Pad 39B | Kennedy Space Center

Artemis II if it was shot on Apollo 11 era Kodak Ektachrome film.

Liftoff of Artemis II

Your reminder that NASA scanned and catalogued all of their film photographs from the original Apollo missions in hi-resolution

@BrianLaManna_ Not sure this really a hot take?

Long standing sales theory of mine. Every rep is one large clawback away from leaving their company. If you were forced to pay back the largest deal you closed last year, you’d be out of there. Am I wrong?

Vibe coding is more addictive than any video game ever made (if you know what you want to build).

@BravesSufferer He will win at least one more cy young but not one more World Series. Freezing cold take but I’ll stand on that.

“We do these things not because they are easy, but because they are hard.” Godspeed, Artemis II.

Shout out to this guy working from home at Truist Park. Out of support I’ve protected his identity. Salute legend.

everybody who’s starting summer house this week due to the drama is going to shit their pants when they see erika kirk

When my daughter thinks she's gonna watch Bluey but its 6:24pm April 1st 2026

I like this kid.

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…

The mental health is much better when your favorite baseball team (at Braves) doesn’t start the season 0-7
