Jealou-ISS #artemis2

Goodness, @GregScott_photo caught the bunch over the past few days. This would have been a fun air show.

@rebeccaperrotto @theguardianfeed Nay. They do not represent *HUMANITY*.

@theguardianfeed You have over 650k views and 35 likes. That should tell you how stupid you are. You do not represent America.

Congratulations to the Artemis II crew – but the case for sending astronauts into space is rapidly shrinking | Martin Rees and Donald Goldsmith theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Imagine arguing that we don't need human spaceflight because of AI slop.

@DJSnM Whoever stuck that warning label to the GPS at your expense is a cheeky bastard who deserves a medal 😂

One of my co-owners has made a modification which I did not approve of.

@NewsNation "A dangerous staffing shortage" You know, I know this shortage has been endemic with the FAA the whole time, but I feel like the purges of competent young ATC controllers by the administration did a lot more harm than good.

As the Federal Aviation Administration works to address a dangerous staffing shortage, a surprising group of applicants has caught the administration’s eye: video game players. NewsNation’s Marcus Espinoza joins “Morning in America with Hena Doba” with the story.

@OptimalCannon @Looseynut @BDeMayo @EarlyCuyler1234 @SecWar You do realize that most, if not all, service members live most of their lives in a near-constant state of alert in the event of an attack, whether they are stationed at home or abroad, right? They can't arm and react quickly to hostile military action if they don't have guns.

@Looseynut @BDeMayo @EarlyCuyler1234 @SecWar If you think the average fucking retard E-1 and E-2 should be able to keep a gun in their barracks then you are genuinely a fool. These idiots can't keep their toilets from flooding let alone not shoot themselves constantly.

Our military installations have been turned into gun-free zones—leaving our service members vulnerable and exposed. That ends today.

@iran_is_proud @GlobalIJournal Uh, what? Is this the Ayatollah's words speaking, or the collective will of the Iranian people, because these two are not the same thing.

@GlobalIJournal The US has long been in decline, propped up by propaganda and the global reach of English. That image cracked after its confrontation with Iran, where it faced a strong response and lost. Israel, too, is facing growing global backlash and public anger. #ShiftGlobalOrder

US ground push into Iran would be suicide mission – ex commander Sending around 7,000 troops to Iran for a ground operation, as some speculate, is “a drop in the bucket,” says former 82nd Airborne Commander Maj. Gen. Randy Manner. 💬 “It is completely absurd to think that a small number of very lightly armed airborne soldiers, as well as, of course, Marines, could do anything other than take an island,” he says. He points out that they would absolutely be “targets.” Th ex-commander reveals that a similar drop in 1979 into Tehran to seize the airport was cancelled because they “would not have survived.”

@js9inningsmedia THANK THE LORD HE WAS WEARING THAT HELMET. 😫

Bryan Woo’s first pitch to Mike Trout was up and in and near Mike Trout’s head. His second pitch to Trout drilled him up high. Interesting 👀 Mike Trout was not pleased one bit 👀

@ulalaunch Thought you guys stopped flying the Atlas V in favor of Vulcan Centaur, due to Putin cutting off access to Russian-made RD-180 engines.

United Launch Alliance has initiated the countdown for launch of the Atlas V rocket to deploy 29 advanced broadband satellites into space for Amazon Leo. Our overnight launch opportunity opens at exactly 1:45:30 a.m. EDT (0545:30 UTC) for liftoff from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. The launch countdown is a tightly scripted sequence of procedures and steps over the next seven hours that will complete pre-launch testing, fill the rocket with propellants and put systems into flight mode. Our live status blog begins at p.m. EDT (0245 UTC) just prior to the start of fueling operations and the livestream starts 20 minutes before launch. bit.ly/av_leo5 // @Amazonleo

@ZephyrionVortex @StarfieldNews DLSS5 *is* worse graphics. All it's doing is applying an AI-generated TikTok filter to the game and changing the art direction, to the point that even the devs of many major game companies INCLUDING UBISOFT OF ALL PEOPLE are against it.

@StarfieldNews it objectively looks better. if you disagree you prefer worse graphics.

12 minutes of #Starfield DLSS5 gameplay at GTC2026. What are your thoughts?

@drunkelections @SpcPlcyOnline He can't, if he wants to keep his job. That's what's sad about this.

@SpcPlcyOnline Fucking pushover god damn. Isaacman needs to grow a backbone

Isaacman says he strongly supports the President's fiscal policies and the FY2027 NASA budget request is "sufficient for NASA to meet the Nation's high expectations and deliver on all mission priorities."

OMG Someone put an Artemis plushie from Sailor Moon in Capcom in launch command for the Artemis II!!

@NoctisLCaleum @AceCombatGames Never. Not to the level you're looking for, at least, because of the amount of modeling and coding work that needs to happen for each plane would be astronomical. Even for the size that Project Aces is, it wouldn't make sense.

@AceCombatGames Bro when will they give us like full on customization, I want F-14 Wings on my Falken and Strike Wyvern DX

『ACE COMBAT 8』 Community Questions Is it possible to customize aircraft in the campaign mode of 『ACE8』? #ACECOMBAT #ACE8

@AceCombatGames What I want to know, is if Joint Assault's take on the emblems system (two emblems you can choose, instead of the one from Infinity) will make a comeback, as I find it far superior.

@AmericanSisu @PhotonEmpress @WizZifnab They would hire better people, if their budget wasn't constantly being threatened. Just last year, they almost lost 50% of their entire budget (including all of STEM and even Artemis IV and beyond) to Trump's OBBBA, and the Senate had to step in and tell him no.

@PhotonEmpress @WizZifnab Then hire people who can actually do it.

I don't think there is anyone on the planet who has done more live rocket broadcasts than me. I literally have done *hundreds* of them over the last 18 years. And some of the largest launch broadcasts on the planet too! I say this not to brag, but to convey a level of expertise in launch broadcasts that I think few, if any, can beat. Ok, maybe brag a little 👸 I know a lot of people were not super happy with NASA's coverage, specifically at liftoff. But man, let me tell you... As someone who has done hundreds of these... IT IS FREAKING HARD! I have personally had bad liftoff sequences too. It happens. And it sucks. And I hated it when I did that. To me. And to you. It is hard to convey just how complex liftoff is during a broadcast. It is a moment in time where nearly every view is available, but very few are viable. You never truly know which ones will be viable either, so it's a guessing game and a bit of luck. You have to scan through to find the shots that work, but you only have *seconds* to do this. Seconds. I have learned over the years that a technical director (vision mixer) needs an A and B plan for liftoff. Generally engines -> pass through -> medium -> wide -> super wide -> track scope -> track spot for the A plan. The B plan is usually far easier with engines -> wide -> super wide -> track scope. The switcher control surface needs to be set up to execute these plans extremely quickly. And even if you do all of this, a gust of wind blowing smoke the wrong way can foil the best of plans. It. Is. Hard. I hear ya all, but let's cut NASA some slack here. They have amazing people working the launch. They have many people they need to support in their broadcast including the media, schools, NASA employees, government officials, and the public. It is like getting pulled in a billion different ways all at once. Was liftoff coverage epic? No. I mean, it just wasn't. Will they learn from this and make Artemis III better? I believe they will. I know the people working these things, and they are great. Don't let one launch paint a bad picture here. There is enough space for everyone. If you didn't like NASA's coverage, then @NASASpaceflight, @TLPN_Official, @Erdayastronaut, @SpaceflightNow and more had other, amazing options that may suit your tastes better. We live in a time where you have incredible options. It's awesome and exciting. Oh, and WE HAVE FOUR HUMANS GOING TO THE MOON RIGHT NOW! Lets be excited about that instead!

@RoundtableSpace If this is the future of Hollywood movies, I want no part in it. AI corpos have taken too much from both consumers and taxpayers already, how much more do they have to take before even the hardline Pro-AI people begin to realize that these corpos only have themselves in mind?

AI JUST MADE A SPIDER MAN MUTATION SHORT FILM IN A WEEK. And somehow it already looks like billion dollar movie quality.

@motorwaymuslim @brjimc @elonmusk I dislike Elon's politics, but a lot of Earth's issues can be solved through development of technologies and infrastructure in space. Moving the data centers to the moon, for one... Also, growing food in space through hydroponics research to then feed people on Earth.

@brjimc @elonmusk What a hilarious son of bitch Musk is. He's so effing spaced out thinking about space all the time that he's become detached from the realities of earthly life. Everything about this guy's existence is off

Exactly

@Flygirl63235094 @indyfor45th47th -immigration, FIX THE GODDAMN IMMIGRATION SYSTEM, IT IS UTTERLY AND RIDICULOUSLY BROKEN BEYOND BELIEF, LEAVING MANY IMMIGRANTS FEELING LIKE THEY HAVE NO CHOICE.

@Flygirl63235094 @indyfor45th47th I'd rather be mad at ICE for not vetting the people they're deporting... or for giving them the legal due process owed to them by our constitution. Some of the people they've detained and/or deported unceremoniously have been legal citizens. If you care so much about legal-

🚨 SHOCKING: Radical protesters blocked ICE agents from doing their job, until one fed-up officer tossed the screaming agitators aside like trash! Law and order just body-slammed the mob!
