Space Chick Jen 👩🏻‍🚀

Everyone has a duck in the front yard in my neighborhood and they all get dressed up differently. I just caught this one while walking the dog. 😍

@tobyliiiiiiiiii @satofishi Crypto bro killin it. Please take me!!!

Just in - Chun Wang @satofishi, commander of the Fram2 mission, will be part of an interplanetary Starship Mars flyby mission lasting 2 years. Ahead of this Martian mission, Wang will also join the first commercial Starship lunar flyby mission.

@drvrjay They fix the thingy?

Wasn't able to weasel my way out of work. Y'all enjoy the flight today! I've got a good feeling it's finally gonna go.

@yatharthmann this is terrible. I am praying for the family of that young man.

José Luis Bautista Jr. – SpaceX Starbase contractor Rest in peace. 🙏

@DJSnM Wow. They are all incredibly lucky to have made it out of there.

Regarding the F-18 crash, this is a much more informative angle, the wingman on the inside of the turn loses sight of the leader, ends up above and descends down into them, and the crew in the lead plane is lucky they didn't eject into the other aircraft. youtube.com/watch?v=6QlJrU…

@Erdayastronaut Topic?

Guess who already wrote and shot a new video? This guy!! Will have it out before Flight 12 🫡

@sparkyinfinity One day I’ll come out for one and go to one with you. Never seen it

I have to be somewhere that’s 1.5 hrs away from Starbase by 8am tomorrow morning. But…I missed the last two rolls…Very tough decision.

@elonmusk There it is! The tweet I’ve been waiting for 🤗

Starship launch next week!

@sparkyinfinity @drvrjay Wish I could have joined you guys

Delicious supper at Hopper, had a great time with old and new friends. Time to go watch FWD on live stream 🚀✨

@sparkyinfinity She’s a beauty

Just heard the klaxon at the pad!!! I am pumped!! The ringtone on my phone is also the klaxon!!! So naturally, I’m jumping up and down on the side of Hwy 4 as I walk to my car to leave. 🙌

Gene Kranz’s doppelgänger is on my front porch. I made sure to tell him.

Scientists ‘discover’ you can get to Mars and back faster…. If you travel faster.

@DJSnM She will! Leave them be for up to 4 hours or more.

I have some baby deer in my garden and mama is nowhere to be seen, I hope she comes back

@SpaceX Geez! How many seconds is that???

Full duration and full thrust 33-engine static fire with Super Heavy V3

@drvrjay Weighed about 2 pounds. But traveling at that velocity it hit with the force of 3000 pounds.

@SpaceChickJen I didn't realize it was a briefcase size chunk. 😩

Scott Hubbard, described his reaction as conflicting after the test: “I had two very distinct emotions. On one hand I wanted to say YES! because engineering had demonstrated without a doubt that the foam was the cause. The foam did it. The foam blew a hole in the wing. And at the same time I felt this sick feeling in the pit of my stomach that we had just observed what had in fact killed a crew of 7.” —————————- On the Columbia tragedy, physicist G. Scott Hubbard was the key NASA voice on the independent CAIB (Columbia accident investigation board). He led proving that a briefcase-sized chunk of external tank foam hit the left wing’s RCC leading edge during launch. The team built a massive nitrogen cannon. They fired real BX-250 foam blocks at flight-worn RCC panels from other shuttles. Velocity, angle, everything matched the Columbia strike as closely as possible. The July 7, 2003 test was the “smoking gun.” The foam punched a massive ~16-inch hole straight through the RCC panel.

@NASA_Johnson Anna’s husband! Cool.

Ask an astronaut! Anil Menon is set to launch this July for his first spaceflight to the International Space Station. He’ll answer questions live on Wednesday, April 29 at 1:45 pm ET on NASA’s YouTube channel. Reply with your questions below and tune in tomorrow to see if they get answered!

@51deways @Whachutryin2say @CuriosityonX Ya you’re right. I’ll stick with NOT

@SpaceChickJen @Whachutryin2say @CuriosityonX "Likely" is a long way from NOT.

People don't realize that Neil Armstrong's first footprint is still there. Untouched. Unmoved. Exactly where he left it in 1969. No wind to erase it. No rain to wash it away. No life to disturb it. It will outlast you, your country, your language, and possibly your species. If you went to the Moon tomorrow, you could place your boot inside his.

@Whachutryin2say @CuriosityonX Like I said, they are there. No doubt. My point was the FIRST boot print has likely been blown away.

@SpaceChickJen @CuriosityonX We can make out the whole trail of boot-tracks, over to the ‘Little West Crater’ (the crater on the right)..

@gregopad39 @CuriosityonX Thanks! Nothing worse than half-assed intellectual pole vaulting. I go full send on facts. 🌕

@SpaceChickJen @CuriosityonX Intellectual pole vaulting of the worst order. Well done though.
