@starstrickenSF How much radiation did they get (measured in mocroSeiverts)and what kind of dosimeter did they use? Is it possible to survive a mars trip without getting too much radiation?

if there is ANYTHING you’ve ever wanted to ask an astronaut, send me your questions!! i’ll try to add them to my list. easiest way is to comment here or answer the poll on my Instagram story: Instagram.com/starstrickenSF

I just learned I get to meet & interview an astronaut in a couple of weeks and I’m pretty much FAINTING from excitement AAAHHHHHHHHHH HE. HAS. BEEN. TO. SPACE. AAAAAHHHHHHHHHH

@Erdayastronaut If I wanted journalistic viewing I’d watch NASA TV, which is the most boring coverage of exciting info possible.

It’s always fun to wake up and see that people appreciated your hard work 😓 Aribbonatatime, me and you can hang out. The rest of you have no chill 🤦‍♂️ I love my job, but the utter lack of empathy always stings.

My 7 year old was tapping away on my Mac tonight and told me he was writing a book. I think you’ll agree it’s one hell of an opening.

@Erdayastronaut I’ll be there!

Patrons! Plan on a meet up Saturday afternoon. Likely about T + 6 hours or so. So 2:00 at the earliest. I’ll post the location and exact time on Patreon soon. Public, might do a little something Saturday night, we’ll see how timing goes!

@BenSullins Ha ha ha

Warning: Real flying. Real g-forces. May make you puke. #TopGun

@bfslandinglegs @Robotbeat @torybruno @RocketLab @Peter_J_Beck It’s just a pump

Currently in a tense discussion and need input. Mostly semantics. Would you consider an electric motor used for pumping rocket fuel a turbo pump? Would love any input @Robotbeat @torybruno @RocketLab @Peter_J_Beck

@elonmusk Fifth wheel hitch that’s easily removable. But I don’t know if a fifth wheel trailer will work with the sloping sides.

What would you love to see in a Tesla pickup truck? I have a few things in mind, but what do you think are small, but important nuances & what would be seriously next level?

@elonmusk Suspension stiffness that’s adjustable on the fly.

@Erdayastronaut @elonmusk @torybruno @DJSnM Who really cares?

Why is there such a huge discrepancies in emissions of the Atlas V and Falcon 9 for carbon monoxide? Is this open cycle vs closed cycle? Why don't these environmental assessments list CO2 or CO2e? Source material - @elonmusk @torybruno @DJSnM nasa.gov/pdf/581031main…

@Erdayastronaut Holy crap!

So... you all keep wondering how a small launch company like Rocket Lab can keep up with say SpaceX’s Starship... well now they have a robot that will save 400 labor hours, capable of doing all the machining in just 12 hours 🤯 that plus reusability = game changing 🙌

@austinbarnard45 @elonmusk @teslaownersSV @flcnhvy YES. It’s gotten too dull around here.

@elonmusk @teslaownersSV @flcnhvy Bags are packed and I call shotgun.

SpaceX team has completed 13 successful tests in a row of upgraded Mark 3 parachutes for Crew Dragon. Most recent test demonstrated the parachute system’s ability to land the spacecraft safely in the unlikely event that one of the four main parachutes fails.

@austinbarnard45 Maybe you can do paleontology on Mars!

@Erdayastronaut Do they gimbal together or individually?

Oh. Dear. God. ART 😍

@Erdayastronaut Oh. Thanks for that actually.

If you want to see Starship and StarHopper there are infinitely better times to do so. Literally this weekend would be the least good time to try and do so. I’m just trying to keep you from your own headache and I’m shocked how many people I’m hearing say this! #starship

Friendly reminder: I’m getting asked (or told) wayyyy too much about people planning to come down to Boca Chica this weekend to try and “get in”. DO NOT!!! It is NOT a public event and you’ll just cause quite the headache for security and you’ll get turned away.

@Erdayastronaut I’d love to see a mission with complex changes in orbits...something from LEO and do a couple of slingshots or something.

To fill a gap in content, I think it’s time I do a Kerbal mission while I continue to finish the aerospike video and wait for a few extra bonus clips. What would you like me to do in Kerbal?

@Erdayastronaut @austinbarnard45 He’s a good man. Keep up the good work guys!

@austinbarnard45 Not just for the test, she’s yours for good now man! Put it to good use 😘

SpaceX crews were hard at work today, team was seen inspecting the raptor and as well as assembling a new massive crane. I also noticed a new section of a ring, perhaps a section for superheavy? StarShip should be ready before the end of September, the future is coming fast.

@Erdayastronaut Ha ha. That’s great!

Plug your ears and open your mouth in case of a RUD... for real 😳 hope this goes well! 🤞

@Erdayastronaut Is that your lunch bag they are pulling out of your suit? Lol.

This did NOT feel too good 😰
