@ulalaunch @Amazonleo The animations take me back to my childhood, when I would watch the Gemini capsule launches. 😜

Atlas V Amazon Leo 5 // Preview A delicate balance of brute force and precision is needed when launching an 18-ton payload into orbit for the @AmazonLeo broadband constellation. That is what the Atlas V 551 rocket will deliver when it performs the Amazon Leo 5 mission on Sunday. Watch a preview video of what you can expect. bit.ly/av_leo5

Stuck watching @CNN in an airport. For the last 30-40 minutes all they have been talking about is how Israelis get warnings about missile attacks, but Iranians don't. And how "unfair" that is. And how it is the US and Israel's fault. Hard to make that up.

@NASAEarth @christopherroge @NASA Wasn't the Grand Canyon formed by melting glaciers? Was that global warming caused by humans also?

Yes, we can! Satellites like Sentinel-6/Michael Freilich use altimeters to measure sea level height, the GRACE and GRACE-FO satellites measure mass-driven changes in sea level (like ice melt), and Argo floats measure temperature and salinity changes in the ocean to estimate how thermal expansion impacts sea levels. In addition, satellites like SWOT and models like ECCO provide data about ocean currents and even the tilt of the ocean surface. Field campaigns like Delta-X help us measure how rising sea levels are compounded by sinking land, and the upcoming NASA-@isro NISAR mission will improve our ability to make these measurements. Taken together, all of this data give us a comprehensive picture of how sea levels are changing across the globe! Learn more at sealevel.nasa.gov

The global sea level rose faster than expected in 2024, according to a NASA-led analysis. Read more: go.nasa.gov/3DP2rlS

@TuckerCarlson Highly unlikely they would sell weapons they need so badly. I call bullsh!t on your claims.

One of the most striking things about yesterday’s Zelensky press conference was Lindsey Graham’s reaction to it. The two are old friends, but Graham disavowed him within the hour. This was more than just transactional disloyalty. It was scapegoating. Lindsey Graham knows what’s coming. Over the past three years, with the tacit support of its western patrons, the Ukrainian government has committed a remarkable number of serious crimes. The Ukrainians sold huge quantities of American weapons on the international black market at twenty cents on the dollar. These weapons are now in the hands of armed groups around the world, including Hamas, the Mexican drug cartels and the forces now controlling Syria. God knows what the Ukrainians have done with the pathogens in American biolabs in their country. Even US intel agencies aren’t sure. The Ukrainians have also murdered a number of people in various countries in political assassinations, and tried to murder others, including American journalists and a European head of state. This is all true, and it’s all going to come out at some point. Better to start blaming it on Zelensky now.

@RonnyJacksonTX @RonnyJacksonTX You don't speak for THIS American, so shut your pie hole.

To Zelenskyy: DON’T you EVER set foot in this country again and DISRESPECT my country and MY PRESIDENT. GO HOME AND GOOD LUCK!!!!

@LindseyGrahamSC @realDonaldTrump @JDVance I've never been more ashamed of President @realDonaldTrump and Vice President @JDVance and @LindseyGrahamSC. You expect to take half of Ukraine's minerals for NO security guarantees, then let Putin have everything he wants, and Zelensky should be GRATEFUL?

🚨BREAKING: Unfortunately, America was disrespected and the deal is off. I have never been more proud of President @realDonaldTrump and Vice President @JDVance for standing up for America First.

@realDonaldTrump Peace at ANY price? Surely you're smarter than that, Mr. President, and you and JD were the disrespectful ones. Sorry I voted for you.

@astro_Pettit These highly trained (and paid) professionals are engaged in important scientific research, as seen in this video clip. It's *NOT* a boondoggle!

OK; you all asked if this was possible…..

@elonmusk Why not give them the support they need to win? The support Biden slow-rolled. Russia was on the ropes months ago.

There have been two years of death in trenches for no meaningful changes in the borders. Hundreds of billions of dollars have been spent, with much it going to feed corruption. The fundamental moral question is this: How many more years of death in trenches and billions of dollars of corruption do you want? The moral answer is zero. VP Vance is right.

@elonmusk Sad to see Elon participating in the character assassination of Zelinsky. All because President Trump wants their rare earth minerals and they aren't just willing to give them up. If Putin is allowed to win he's going to invade other countries next.

Zelensky should not have murdered an American journalist. He didn’t even understand why that was bad.

@realTrumpNewsX No

@mrxmuskus 2

@realTrumpNewsX Can we get that in writing? We've heard this before.

@NASASpaceflight Oooohhwee! That blowed up good! That blowed up REAL GOOD!! 😁

The raptor testing stand at McGregor experienced an anomaly a few moments ago. The vapors from the anomaly caused a secondary explosion on the test stand. Link: nsf.live/mcgregor

Eight years ago today, SpaceX successfully landed an orbital class rocket for the first time. Since that time, SpaceX has landed Falcon rockets more than 250 times and counting

@_InfiniteZeal @LindseyGrahamSC This is a war between good and evil. Some things are worth fighting for. I'm referring to the good, for those of you who seem to be confused.

Seems that Turkey, particularly senior leadership, is setting itself up to be “The Squad” of NATO. Very disappointing and destabilizing. foxnews.com/world/nato-all…

@SpaceX Thanks for rescheduling for tonight at an earlier time. Otherwise I wouldn't have gotten this spectacular view from Oceanside California (214 miles from SLC-4)!

Falcon 9’s first stage has landed on the Of Course I Still Love You droneship

@elonmusk LET'S DO LAUNCH!

Starship launch attempt in ~7 hours

For all of @elonmusk's smarts, shocking he has a blindspot about "solar energy" - it is NOT about how much energy is in the sun and how much of that hits the earth - but how much of that can be captured, stored, transmitted and at what price. Electricity from nuclear fission may be more practical than solar energy (and batteries) and at a price that everyone may be able to afford. Yes, I sure wish @elonmusk would think, analyze like the good engineer that he surely must be - given the amazing track record he has, so far.

@elonmusk You're a brilliant guy, Elon, and I love the stuff you're doing. But even IF we could travel at the speed of light (BIG IF), it would take 4.25 years just to reach Proxima Centauri. That said, visionaries like you change the world, so please keep it up!

A new philosophy of the future is needed. I believe it should be curiosity about the Universe – expand humanity to become a multiplanet, then interstellar, species to see what’s out there.
