@DJSnM I've long thought that once Starship is able to land reliably, the option of a Starship kitted out for orbital research / manufacturing & that could stay up there a year or more, then land with the finished goods becomes possible.

The future space station projects which will replace the ISS will all be built differently from the ISS. The shuttle could carry components up and assemble the station, but station modules being built today all need their own propulsion, power, attitude control & guidance so they can either be self reliant, or, maneuver to their final destination. That’s how the soviet stations were built, and that’s how China’s station was built. Until there’s a space tug that can deliver dumb station modules after reaching orbit the ISS is going to be unique in this respect.

In 1968, during Apollo 8, Bill Anders offered to humanity among the deepest of gifts an astronaut can give. He traveled to the threshold of the Moon and helped all of us see something else: ourselves. He embodied the lessons and the purpose of exploration. We will miss him.

Sad to hear of the death of Apollo 8 astronaut Bill Anders, 90, after he crashed the T-34 he was flying in Washington state this afternoon. We now only have 6 survivors of the cadre of 24 humans who have flown to the vicinity of the Moon.

ok, I've now read the full NYT complaint filed this morning vs OpenAI and Microsoft. I'm impressed - it's future-focused around fair value for work vital to democracy. It also contains 220k pages of exhibits although the pages of Ex J stood out to me. more on that in a minute. /1

There's a common myth being passed around that longCOVID is rare, that it only affects medically infirm people, that it can't happen to me. Here's a short thread on the famous people (politicians, atheletes, entertainers) that are dealing with #longCOVID v.2 1/

@DJSnM I wonder if they were aiming for close to the road to go pick it up with a truck in case the helicopters were grounded due to weather?

Here is @onthemedia's guide for interviewing conspiracy theorists and other disinformers running for office. The first one is by far the most important. And I'd go further: ask yourself why you're doing this— then share that answer with the rest of us.

I am looking at the pre-colonial history of the Indigenous people of each province. Today, I am focusing on the Tlingit people of northwestern B.C. Located in the northern coast of British Columbia, the traditional Tlingit territory stretched down from Alaska. 🧵1/8

Checking in on excess mortality in Quebec. Data up to early April 2023 now available. Excess mortality in 0-49 year olds has yet to slow down. Week of Apr 1: 59% excess deaths. Week of April 8, 2023: 71% excess deaths. Folks that is the single worst week of the entire pandemic.

I can confirm that yes, in fact, @Raspberry_Pi 4 are being produced. And all the other models too! I see the light at the end of the tunnel... and I saw the robots on the production line, too! (Video will come soon-ish. I have SO much footage to process!) #RaspberryPi
