@KenKirtland17 Yeah I'm trying to remember when specifically. Did they even stream the first launch? Lol.
English
I've been thinking when I first watched and honestly it must be Orbcomm 2. I tuned in at the right moment lol.

“bro, i was there when spacex streamed starship sn5 hop test”

Empathy, a respect for human life, a desire to protect and share the natural world with our friends, family and the future.
Care available for ourselves when we are vulnerable, and care for others when they are.

Australia would be a far better country if it was less ‘woke’ I don’t think that’s even up for debate Where does this need for wokeness even come from ?

@DJSnM I do wonder why aren't critical screw fittings like these lockwired to prevent them from backing out?

If you’re ever diving into NASA history and you read about Dryden… that’s Armstrong! I dont know if that’s common knowledge or actually worth saying but the breaking of the sound barrier and so many other aerospace milestones took place in the skies above the mojave desert.

NASA’s Armstrong Flight Research Center is where experimental flight takes off. ✈️ Located at Edwards Air Force Base in California’s Mojave Desert, Armstrong operates within the nation’s largest secure flight test range—spanning about 470 square miles and including Rogers Dry Lake’s 44-square-mile natural runway. The vast airspace allows NASA teams to safely conduct complex flight testing. Learn more: go.nasa.gov/4boOedj

Side note, with respect, to those who run the @NASAaero account, on the off-chance you see this…
There are a plethora of cooler aircraft to post a shot of for something like this… F-15 STOL/MTD, SR-71, F-16 VISTA, X-15, heck if you want something modern the image used in the post could be an a2a shot of the X-59 low boom demonstrator over rogers lake.
That doesn’t exist yet? Ok, why not? Fix that. At the very least, illustrating experimental flight over the mojave with a cessna when youre frickin NASA is uhhhh…. Suboptimal.

This is horrific news for everyone

In a notable turn of events, Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, has announced that tonight, OpenAI has reached an agreement with the Department of War (DOW) to deploy their models on classified networks. This comes amidst the ongoing row between Anthropic, the developer of Claude AI, and the DOW regarding concerns over its model being employed for mass surveillance and the use of AI in the decision-making process on the use of force. Which, ironically, are the two key points that OpenAI has reportedly now rectified with the DOW. Altman also added that he has asked the DOW to offer similar terms to all AI companies, though it now remains unclear where Anthropic and Claude AI now sit in the current equation.

@DrPhiltill Tbc I'm generally in favor of the program, though. But think some caution is warranted.
English
@DrPhiltill "I care a lot about the atmosphere but..." Is not the greatest start to most sentences lol. I am concerned what environmental impact such an enormous program could cause and I do think we need to study it thoroughly before "lets try it and see"
English
I care a lot about the atmosphere but IMO a short-term compromise must be made. The US can’t build up its power grid fast enough to catch China, so I’m betting that US compute (and therefore democracy across the globe) will depend crucially on SpaceX’s million AI satellites.
Jonathan O’Callaghan@Astro_Jonny
SpaceX's 1 million AI satellites could cause "massive ozone depletion" and change the night sky forever, but the FCC has no requirement to check before approving them. Astronomers are now scrambling to submit their concerns. Story by me in New Scientist newscientist.com/article/2516975
English
@DJSnM Might need to add a layer of "atmosphere"... Or ya know... Just accidentally create an atomized layer of satellite debris and it be a literal atmospheric layer.
English
It’s called space because it’s got a lot of spaces but if we launch a million satellites into LEO that’s a lot of stuff.
Do we start talking about outer stuff instead.
What’s the threshold for space vs stuff?

@farmer_east1989 @Anton__Chigurh_ @Alexphysics13 I understand all of this quite well and am a big fan and advocate of spaceflight. But there does come a point where you're juggling too many things at a time. Your system must account for coincident random failures and actively manage them.
English
@Anton__Chigurh_ @AstroSkeptic @Alexphysics13 The visual representations of satellite constellations we get online vastly overstate the size of satellites. I get it - they need to represent them somehow but a typical image - if to scale - often shows a satellite as the size of a city.
English
One million satellites.
16,666 launches
A 7-year deadline to deploy a satellite constellation

@SciGuySpace Wow. Weren't they just talking about ramping up instead?

Blue Origin is pausing its New Shepard program for "no less" than two years. CEO Dave Limp just informed the company.

@TeslaTruckClub Good for you, man. Lol. Wishing you the best! Think we'll ever get our Apterae? 😭 Lol

To the 12,827 people/bots who follow me on here, I salute you. It's been quite the ride, but all rides must come to an end. Mine on here is imminent.

@getnickwright Unfortunately I know many real humans that say horrible things to each other in person. Many advocating for war, even genocide. So no... I'm not too hopeful for many to see horror for what it is.
English
I truly implore folks not to argue with “people” on this app about important events.
You’re going to drown in a sea of bots, paid foreign accounts cosplaying as Americans, and truly the worst of our citizenry.
Talk to real human beings in real life.
You’ll feel better.

I asked DOE yesterday if they could provide more details about their agreement with NASA to work on fission surface power for the Moon, and they declined. Now I understand why.

@SpaceDavenport It is quite refreshing to see some competent vision and leadership from the NASA admin.
English
Feels like there will be real execution to go along with these clearly stated goals.
NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman@NASAAdmin
Our number one priority: American leadership in the high ground of space. 🇺🇸 - return to the Moon 🌕 - establish an enduring presence 🧑🚀 - realize scientific, economic, national security value 🧫 - make investments in nuclear power 🔋 - strengthen the orbital economy 💵 - increase the rate of world-changing scientific discovery 🔬 All of this is laid out in President Trump’s national space policy, and we’re gonna get it done.
