@astro_reid Fly fast and safely.

“Dad, we can’t leave the rocket without a .5 together!!” I love these two ladies, and I’m boarding that rocket a very proud father.

@MLB Please get those ad logos off players’ batting helmets. It cheapens the game. Whatever #Strauss sells, I won’t buy it. #Postseason

The Many Planned #Moon Landings of 2025 (and Beyond), by Ned Potter in @IEEESpectrum spectrum.ieee.org/amp/moon-landi… #Lunapolitics #Japan #India #China #USA

Landing on the #moon is hard. @Int_Machines says IM-2 Athena landed on its side and its batteries have died. What moon landings are still to come? @IEEESpectrum has a list at spectrum.ieee.org/moon-landing-2…

Blue Ghost Mission 1 from @fireflyspace is the first commercial lander to successfully land on the moon. It’s the first in a string of missions headed for the moon this year. #moon buff.ly/yhkLDC4

Nyx, a new reusable cargo capsule being developed by Europe-based The Exploration Company, looks strikingly similar to SpaceX's Dragon. But the resemblance is merely superficial—and Nyx could bring some advantages to the industry that SpaceX can't match. spectrum.ieee.org/spacex-competi…

Does the rise of generative AI signal the start of a process in which humans are gradually displaced from all or most intellectually satisfying jobs? Put down those golf clubs, because the answer is no, writes @NedPotter_ spectrum.ieee.org/ai-fears-jobs-…

Can #IntuitiveMachines make the first-ever moon landing by private enterprise? They launched from Earth early today, and Feb. 22 is expected touchdown. But every other company, trying similar feats, has failed. Only #NASA has had successful US missions. spectrum.ieee.org/lunar-landing-…

Amazing work processing all these images. Seems like a true labor of love.

Radio waves have carried communications from space since #Sputnik—but now #NASA is testing lasers, that could pack 1000x or more data into a transmission. A mission to the #asteroid belt launches this month with laser comms—so does #Artemis2. spectrum.ieee.org/laser-communic…
