Chaya is wrong and doxxing a hardworking public servant is gross. The vendor AGREED last year that the show would move from a fireworks show to a drone show. Our office is looking into the matter given it is #America250🎆

I understand some in the community have an affinity for specific hardware, but the focus should be on outcomes. With respect to SLS, the desired outcome is launching crewed Orion spacecraft at a reasonable cadence, rebuilding muscle memory, and buying down risk so we can land astronauts on the Moon. This is until such time as there are multiple crewed pathways that allow us to undertake lunar missions with even greater frequency and at lower cost, so that Artemis can live on for decades into the future. The idea that Artemis II was only held up by the heat shield is not correct. Administrator Bill Nelson stated in December 2024, two years after Artemis I flew, that we would refly the same heat shield design on Artemis II, yet the mission did not fly until April 2026. On a side note, if leadership knew at the time that Artemis II would not launch until April 2026, it probably would have made sense to replace the heat shield altogether. Even with as clean of a mission as Artemis II, it is hard to imagine waiting until 2028 to fly again and jump right to a lunar landing. SLS and Orion must launch with a reasonable cadence, and we need every opportunity to learn. That is why we added Artemis III, an easy trade against funding programs overbudget and behind schedule, in advance of a landing on Artemis IV. You cannot point to the ML-2 structure and a single EUS tank and say it was “pretty much done" and you certainly have no specifics as to the suitability of stage adapter. The Government Accountability Office has been clear on the timing and remaining costs for both ML-2 and EUS, based on a history of OIG oversight reports. Simply put, we would be committing billions more to troubled programs when we can work cooperatively with the OEM and its joint venture to leverage an in-production upper stage with decades of flight heritage and get very good at turning ML-1. Of course, we retain the option of working with industry on ML-2, converting it to the SLS standard, or harvesting parts. I am not here to favor companies or perpetuate underperforming programs. I do not want to throw away billions of taxpayer dollars, and time we do not have, on a flavor of a rocket that is not necessary to return astronauts to the moon. Those billions could go toward more Artemis missions or more science and discovery. Our focus must be on the immensely hard task of sending astronauts to the Moon with frequency and safely so we can land and stay. Above all else, I care about outcomes, and so does the hardworking team at NASA, focused on delivering for the American people and everyone around the world who eagerly await the headlines we all experienced this past weekend.

Your smart TV is taking screenshots of your screen every 15 seconds. Not a guess. Not a theory. A peer-reviewed study by researchers at UC Davis, UCL, and UC3M tested it. Samsung TVs: every minute. LG TVs: every 15 seconds. Even when you're just using it as a monitor. Here's how to turn it off for every brand:

NEW: Speaker Mike Johnson told reporters today that Pope Leo XIV doesn't understand “something called the just war doctrine.” Pope Leo is an Augustinian friar who spent twelve years leading Augustine’s religious order. Augustine invented the doctrine. thelettersfromleo.com/p/something-ca…

Before ➡️ after I had a bolt from the Falcon-9 rocket that flew me to space made into my husband’s wedding ring Here’s the story- SpaceX gave me this plaque after my mission. After Ryan and I got engaged I got the idea for the ring and brought the bolt to a local jeweler. They said they couldn’t melt it (not surprising that space hardware isn’t easy to melt 😉). I then brought it to the Memphis Metal Museum where a metalsmith was able to forge it into this ring. The ring is entirely made of the bolt metal. I also got a ring made for myself :) I was so happy to share this piece of me with Ryan, and he’s thrilled with his ring 🥰

🚨Google built an invisible watermark into every image Gemini has ever generated. Over 10 billion pieces of content marked. One unemployed engineer just cracked it open. With 200 black images and math. It's called reverse-SynthID. SynthID is Google DeepMind's invisible watermark. It's embedded at the pixel level into every image, video, audio, and text generated by Gemini. Invisible to the human eye. Designed to survive cropping, compression, screenshots, and format changes. It was supposed to be unbreakable. Here's how he broke it: → Generated 200 pure black and pure white images from Gemini → When you average enough pure-black AI images, every non-zero pixel IS the watermark. Nothing to hide behind. Just the signal, naked. → Used FFT spectral analysis to map the exact carrier frequencies → Discovered the watermark uses a fixed phase template — identical across every image from the same model → Cross-image phase coherence at carrier frequencies: over 99.5% → Built a detector that identifies SynthID watermarks with 90% accuracy → Built a V3 bypass that drops 91% of the phase coherence and 75% of carrier energy — at 43+ dB PSNR. Almost zero visible quality loss. No neural networks. No proprietary access. No leaked code. Just signal processing and too much free time. Here's the wildest part: The green channel carries the strongest watermark signal. The carrier frequencies change based on image resolution. And the entire phase template is fixed — meaning every single Gemini image carries the same fingerprint structure. One engineer. 200 black images. A Fourier transform. That's all it took to reverse-engineer a system protecting 10 billion+ pieces of content. 519 GitHub stars. 39 forks. Python. Research and educational purposes only. 100% Open Source.

Reporting that "They've never seen anything come back so accurately" tells you that they somehow haven't see Starship landing near the cameras in the ocean.

The Orion spacecraft’s thrusters ignited for the second return trajectory correction burn to fine‑tune the spacecraft’s path toward Earth. Splashdown of Artemis II is expected around 8:07pm ET on Friday, April 10 (0007 UTC on Saturday, April 11), off the coast of San Diego.

Earthset. The Artemis II crew captured this view of an Earthset on April 6, 2026, as they flew around the Moon. The image is reminiscent of the iconic Earthrise image taken by astronaut Bill Anders 58 years earlier as the Apollo 8 crew flew around the Moon.

RT if you miss having a President with a functioning brain.

Democrats believe in taking care “of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these things.” Republicans and trump obviously do not. November is coming.

@Erdayastronaut Has it turned into cheese? 😀

Look at this moonrise after the launch! Are you kidding?!?

@razorfist @DJSnM I'd rather have SFA than whatever this suppose to be.

They made Starfleet Academy instead of this.

The White House App has OneSignal's full GPS pipeline compiled in, polling your location every 4.5 minutes, syncing your exact coordinates to a third party server.

AOC graduated with honors from Boston University with double degrees in Economics and International Relations. Markwayne was the only Senator without even a bachelor’s degree. Hope that helps.
