@breytw Hard to say, since he hasn’t received quality minutes in basically his whole career. When he was in, he delivered the ball, rebounded, played tough D, and attacked the basket unlike anyone else on the team. His long ball has struggled but how many three point shooters do we need?

@Wolmsicus Love the kid and I hope he plays himself into the rotation but you can’t count on him being the 2nd guard off the bench

Chance Mallory Desmond Claude Sam Lewis Thijs De Ridder Johann Grunloh Damarion Dennis Darren Harris Cole Cloer Silas Barksdale Amon Dorries This would be a disgustingly good team

@FitFusion__ Everybody whining about seed oils and nobody mentions the salt lol

I make a tomato egg breakfast

@Magnum_442 @LukeHosey @BrianRoemmele So what would be the advantage of putting up a whole separate space shuttle to just do what you were gonna do anyway, without said shuttle?

@Wolmsicus @LukeHosey @BrianRoemmele I knew that was coming but so what?

Artemis 11 astronauts saw and heard this at the entry interface and plasma display in to Earth’s atmosphere.

@Magnum_442 @LukeHosey @BrianRoemmele The shuttle still relied on heat shields and atmospheric braking. Not powered deceleration and descent.

@Wolmsicus @LukeHosey @BrianRoemmele Put the space shuttle up there, capture the capsule in the bay and land like an airplane 😃

@moraltourism @The_Weed_Hottie @SCRIBEMOON It’s the dumbest shit I’ve read all week.

@The_Weed_Hottie @SCRIBEMOON All that effort to make it healthy, then she cooks it with radiation. My family is frustrated with me because I refuse to own a microwave oven. But it’s a hill I’ll die on in this life and the next.

Wait... I’ve been overpaying for microwave popcorn my whole life for WHAT? 🍿 ​No chemicals, no crazy cleanup, just a paper bag and some butter. My kids are obsessed and my wallet is happy. Is this the ultimate snack hack or what?

@EX_EV0LUTIONIST @LukeHosey @BrianRoemmele Those are fuel cells (already containing fuel) and they aren’t returning from orbital velocity. It would take far more fuel to slow something from 17,500 mph.

Erm. Doesn't Musk do that frequently with his rockets? Of course, they're not manned, but I don't see how that matters one way or the other. I'm not a rocket scientist by any stretch of the imagination, but I'd think that he might be able to help with the issue of a powered descent.

@LukeHosey @BrianRoemmele It is risky, but we currently don’t have the capacity to carry the amount of fuel that would be required for a powered descent. To my knowledge, it’s never been done.

@Wolmsicus @BrianRoemmele Good point. Just seems riskier die to the single point of failure heat shield?

@apshutt @SpaceNotJohn @NightSkyToday Light isn’t electrons.

@SpaceNotJohn @NightSkyToday Electrons have mass, so light can be bent with magnets

🚨: “If something has no mass, gravity has nothing to act on.” Light has no mass, it still obeys gravity how?

@a80502546 @samlewisbuckets He literally said he was staying immediately after the Tennessee loss. Also, ben widely reported that he is staying.

@samlewisbuckets If he wanted to be at uva he would announce it already, either he going to take whats offered or not. I honestly feel his announcement will be im going into the portal when he announces. I love his game but if he truly want to remain at uva he would announced it his teammates

SUNDAY, April 12th, would be an even better day for a Sam Lewis announcement. If it’s not today im gonna explode

@LeeStewartNZ @B_alla96 @Daveindastars @OliviaStalvey The Nigerians are actually building and operating all kinds of satellites and are rapidly expanding their aerospace edication programs, so probably a bad example.

@B_alla96 @Daveindastars @OliviaStalvey Is there a Nigerian space program we haven’t heard about?

@LukeHosey @BrianRoemmele Atmospheric braking is free. We use it to our advantage.

@BrianRoemmele Dumb question: why can’t they do a rocket burn or something to slow down the ship before it begins to enter the atmosphere? Would keep the heat way down and keep comms up. Seems like a very risky thing that should be avoided.

@zanehengsperger To be fair, they still don’t have the technology to land on the moon.

when spacex was getting started, the first and last men to walk on the moon testified before congress against it. gene cernan told congress commercial space companies "do not yet know what they don't know." he said the boeings and lockheed martins were "the folks who have been working on everything we've done for the last 50 years. they know how it can be done." neil armstrong said he was "not confident" the newcomers could achieve their goals. together with jim lovell they warned it would put america on "a long downward slide to mediocrity." spacex now launches more rockets than every country on earth combined. the experts will always tell you it can't be done. build it anyway!

@DiegoBr22417651 @canalCCore2 The distance to the moon is too close for speeds that high. They wouldn’t be able to stop.

@canalCCore2 Será possível criarem algum que atinge 0.5% na velocidade da luz? Para que seja mais rápido chegar à lua?

O Raptor 3 não é uma evolução, é uma humilhação para a engenharia tradicional. A SpaceX conseguiu remover quase toda a tubulação externa e o escudo térmico, criando um motor que pesa só 1525 kg e gera 280 toneladas de empuxo. É a eficiência máxima da física aplicada em escala.

@DavePfen @MLB Listen to where he starts versus where he finishes.

@Wolmsicus @MLB Ok, the technique of what he's doing is objectively impressive, especially the fast register shifting stuff...but YES I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed the pitchiness. Could I do what he did? No. But I did expect a more pitch-consistent performance given the billing. Oof.

Four-time whistling champion and member of the Whistling Hall of Fame, Chris Ullman, whistled the national anthem in Baltimore tonight!

@NeilRDunn @brf1rrb @TJ_Cooney Even if they don’t plan to reuse it, they want to examine it to see what can be learned

@brf1rrb @TJ_Cooney Nice! Surprised they would use a parachute to save that are they trying to reuse it?

It appears Orion was missing a fairly large chunk of its heat shield. Am I seeing things?

@DemzRnuts @BarackObama @NASAArtemis What a sad little racist prick you are.

With due respect to all qualified astronauts, this group was known as "Spam in a Can." They are a woke group chosen under the Biden Administration. WTH does diversity and being inclusive have to do with science & space travel?

What the Artemis II astronauts did over the last 10 days was a testament to their bravery. And the fact that they traveled farther from Earth than anyone ever has, re-entered our atmosphere at more than 24,000 mph, and splashed down safely was a testament to human ingenuity. Thanks to everyone at @NASA for making this mission possible, and for taking us along for the ride.

@breytw He told us this. Not sure why no one believed him.

@dambvegetables @mightbejell0 NASA has literally always relied on private companies.

@mightbejell0 The fact that NASA has to rely on private companies should be a point of national shame.

SpaceX has been chosen as the primary lunar lander for Artemis 3 and 4 btw
