At what point did Disney think it was a good idea to stop making animation this incredible?

This single scene is enough to win an Oscar

@aakashgupta $100 Million for something that could be done using free or open source software? Sounds like a waste of tax payer funds to me.

NASA pays $100M for Microsoft 365 licensing across the agency. They standardized every system on Microsoft. They put Microsoft Surfaces on the Orion spacecraft as the crew's personal computing devices. And the first technical crisis of humanity's return to the Moon was Reid Wiseman radioing Houston to say he has two Microsoft Outlooks and neither one works. Mission Control's response? "With your go, we can remote in and take a look." The same exact workflow your company's IT helpdesk uses when you submit a ticket on a Monday morning. Except the user is traveling at 4,275 mph, 30,000 miles from Earth, and the Wi-Fi situation is considerably worse. This spacecraft survived hydrogen leaks, helium leaks, a faulty heat shield, and a broken toilet. Outlook broke anyway. The toilet actually got fixed faster. The real story here is that Microsoft has achieved something no other software company in history can claim: a support ticket from lunar transit. Their enterprise sales team should frame this. "Battle-tested in space" is a positioning statement most B2B companies would mass murder for, and Microsoft accidentally earned it because Outlook crashes everywhere, including orbit. Outlook remains the only software in human history that performs identically whether you're in a cubicle in Redmond or aboard a spacecraft bound for the Moon. Universally, reliably broken. And we keep buying it anyway.

Nominal translunar injection burn complete. The Artemis II crew is officially on the way to the Moon. America is back in the business of sending astronauts to the Moon. This time, farther than ever before.

@kirawontmiss 😂

literally every single conspiracy theory has been proven right this year and the flat earth theory keeps getting proven wrong im in tears😭😭

@EBrownien @Math_files Whoa that’s awesome lol

@Math_files Current president of Romania solved it en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicu%C8%9…

This problem is widely remembered as one of the most difficult mathematics problems of its time, originating from the International Mathematical Olympiad. In 1988, when the IMO was held in Australia, the final question—Problem 6—became legendary for its extreme difficulty. Only 11 students managed to achieve a perfect score on it. Even Terence Tao, a 13-year-old prodigy representing Australia at the time and later a Fields Medalist—the highest honor in mathematics—scored just one point on this problem. What makes the story even more remarkable is that when the problem was reviewed by the panel of experts before the exam, even they were unable to solve it. Despite this, it was still included in the competition.

@DESI0RE Remember my TI-84 Plus SE was $200 way back in middle school when I got it. Still have it and works great. Not a bad investment tbh.

This was like $2000 back in the day lol

This is the shot you can’t get from the press site. This camera was sitting a few football fields from the SLS rocket at Pad 39B for days before launch, baking in the Florida sun, surviving rain, humidity, and whatever else the Cape threw at it. No photographer behind the viewfinder. Just a camera, a sound trigger, and a bet. The way pad remotes work: you set your camera up days in advance, dial in your composition, lock everything down, and walk away. You don’t touch it again until after the launch. The shutter fires on sound activation with a @MiopsTrigger smart+ trigger. With SLS, the four RS-25 engines ignite six seconds before the solid rocket boosters, so the camera is already firing before the vehicle even leaves the pad. You get home, pull the card, and find out if you nailed it or if a bird landed on your lens two days ago and left your a present and you got 400 photos of soemthing crappy. There’s no formula for protecting your gear this close. Some photographers build wooden boxes with doors that pop open. Some use plastic bags and tape. Some do plastic or metal barn door rigs on hinges. I tend to leave mine open just in plastic rain covers because boxes limit my composition and setup time, but that means your cameras are more exposed to the elements and whatever energy and debris comes off the pad. You’re basically gambling a camera body every time you set one. That’s what I love about this genre. There’s no playbook. You make it up as you go. Every time is an adventure. 📸 credit: me for @SuperclusterHQ - Artemis II pad remote | ~1,000 ft from Pad 39B | Kennedy Space Center

🚨 This was the Artemis II crew's view this morning from 41,756 miles (67,200 km) up No human has seen a crescent Earth in full since 1972

I swear everything is just so much easier when you're curious about shit. Discipline is top-down suppression of impulse. Obsession is bottom-up amplification of curiosity.

@ShawnChittle This picture doesn’t make sense?

@IMAO_ Hope he’s ok

It’s sad to me Buzz Aldrin’s Twitter feed is quiet right now. He’s 96. I hope he’s getting to see all this.

@realpeteyb123 Do they not realize nobody there will stay to live in the Stone Age? Hence, another migrant crisis.

Shock and awe like Bush once said. So we now want to send the people we wanted to liberate back to the stone ages to suffer? How do we win?

Midnight in Houston. At noon.

@rbalephoto It’s rly hard to even conceptualize 9 Million pounds of force 🤯

8.8 Million Pounds of thrust powering SLS off the pad for Artemis II, returning Humans to the Moon

This shot sent chills down my spine. The tiny puffs of RCS, the ice crystals, the light catching the glittering pieces and plume interactions? Incredible

@AJamesMcCarthy Nice photo :)

A reminder that humans can do incredible things when we work together with purpose.
