@SawyerMerritt @SpaceX I just realized Orions solar array wing cameras are gonna give us a really cool view of TLI and maybe even the crew from Starships windows now

NEWS: NASA is planning a bigger @SpaceX Moon mission role using Starship, in a massive blow to Boeing. With the new proposal, Boeing's SLS would no longer be used to boost Orion close to the moon. Instead, Starship and Orion would dock in Earth orbit, giving Starship the pivotal role of propelling the capsule to the moon’s orbit, before taking astronauts down to the surface. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

@SawyerMerritt @SpaceX >Orions only TLI burn will be on Artemis II lmao, wow

@Vincent2112_ @NASAAdmin Meaning that potentially the crew may fly further past the moon than Apollo 13 did, and be the new benchmark for the furthest humans ventured from Earth. Don't be deliberately obtuse.

@NASAAdmin We’ve never flown around the moon in the past? 🤔 Perhaps we have also never walked on the moon 🤨 “Potentially” 🙄 CYA pessimistic attitude

The next chapter of America’s journey to explore the solar system begins TONIGHT. Artemis II and the SLS rocket roll out of the Vehicle Assembly Building to Launch Complex 39B as we target a launch attempt as early as April 1. This mission will potentially send astronauts farther into space than any human has traveled before - around the Moon and safely back home. And, under @POTUS’ National Space Policy Directive, we’re just getting started.

@AidanSimardone real

I have an awful feeling I haven’t felt since the first week of March 2020

@GodzillaCheeze this used to be on SpaceX's website, dunno if it still is tho

@_starwave_ What's your pfp and banner?

@GodzillaCheeze @ErikWernquist @samuel_krug I mean its underrated in terms of planetary exploration focus for NASA

@_starwave_ @ErikWernquist @samuel_krug What's "underrated" about it?

Strolling the surface of Triton. Another set of samples from my visuals for Professor Brian Cox live show "Emergence". Landscape and cloud assets created by @samuel_krug. Neptune created by Logan Miller.

@NASAArtemis @NASAKennedy pls let this be the final rollout....

Engineers are targeting 8 pm ET on Thursday, March 19, for rollout of Artemis II. NASA’s crawler-transporter 2 will carry the 11-million-pound stack at about 1 mph along the four-mile route from the Vehicle Assembly Building at @NASAKennedy to the launch pad.

@LukeTwelve2 @johnkonrad You could easily argue the opposite- that his decision making is actually so impulsive, haphazard and uncoordinated that people are driven to make some sense of it as its all part of a grand strategy yet to unfold connecting dots that aren't there- like this very long thread 🤷‍♂️

@johnkonrad I think the reason so many are “bothered” by Trump is his decision making style isn’t linear, which causes discomfort. With that, they create hysterical narratives, like he doesn’t know what he’s doing, he didn’t think of this or that, etc.

Let's unpack this.. What if the White House has no intention of reopening the Strait of Hormuz? What if this war is really about ships & tariffs? I had a long discussion with senior DOE official yesterday on background. I can’t share any details but it’s clear everyone’s Strait of Hormuz calculus is wrong. We need to go back to the drawing boards. That's it. That's the tweet. Now a hypothetical 🧵 with my personal thoughts.

@tszzl robots on other worlds will just never be as inspiring as humans

this was always true i suppose ie there would be no Neil Armstrong moment without the symphony of wonderful machines that brought him there. he is an instrument of a grand plan. but the image of many humanoid robots on mars is particularly offensive to the idea of human will

the romantic human aspect of space colonization-placing our flags on other worlds-is redundant with robots and Von Neumann replicators unfortunately. the mars colony will be robots. ppl can join, but as consumers of an experience rather than critical parts of novel adventures

@NASA @Astro_ChrisW @Astro_Jessica @Space_Station Love this view, really shows the sheer scale of the station

LIVE: Tune in to watch @Astro_ChrisW and @Astro_Jessica go for a spacewalk! Our astronauts are scheduled to step outside the @Space_Station at about 8am ET (1200 UTC) and work for about six-and-a-half hours. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

@SpaceX 33 Raptor 3's firing up all together for the first time is gonna be insane omg

Initial Super Heavy V3 and Starbase Pad 2 activation campaign complete, wrapping up several days of testing that loaded cryogenic fuel and oxidizer on a V3 vehicle for the first time. While the 10-engine static fire ended early due to a ground-side issue, we saw successful startup on all installed Raptor 3 engines. Next up: preparing the booster for a 33-engine static fire

@witchof0x20 getting a chatbot to do this is a pain, this is so much easier/faster more fluid

@witchof0x20 man the possibilities are endless

Wait you can just substitute anything in the "to" parameter lmao. translate.kagi.com/?from=en&to=El…

@0xcoked how is it a myth? is Dead Hand a myth too?

The Samson Option is an Israeli propaganda myth designed to intimidate primarily westerners. Might explain more in a future tweet. Total nothingburger. Israel's nuclear capabilities are extremely overhyped.

@US_of_Z always wondered how broader MAGA would eventually end, a self-implosion is fine too

Trump might've just put the last nail in the coffin for his own movement.

@TOzgokmen Man what a clusterfuck...

There are three sides, with 3 different objectives: 1) Iran wants to end US presence in the Middle East. They are done living under US dictating their livelihoods for the past 70 years, putting up their leaders, stealing their oil and sanctioning their trade. If they stop now, they will go back to the miserable conditions & lose any military advantage they have today. They have stopped in June and a bigger war was back 8 months later. 2) US wants to grab entire Middle East oil, after Venezuela & choke China to economic collapse, while demonstrating that US is still the dominant empire in the world. If they stop now, Iran, China & BRICS take the Persian Gulf oil resources, destroy GCC and pave the way to global domination using oil = THE PRIZE and later, monetary tools. 3) Israel, ruled by extremists, seeks "Greater Israel" project, endless wars of territorial expansion. If they stop now, there could be mass migrations from Israel, collapsing this nation. THERE IS NO WAY THIS WAR WILL END IN TWO WEEKS OR TWO YEARS. There is NO clock ticking ⏱️ for this war to end.

@sentdefender I think he's lost it

According to U.S. President Donald J. Trump, speaking to NBC News, the U.S. may strike Iran’s economically and strategically important again, telling NBC in an interview, “We may hit it a few more times just for fun.”
