We've never seen anything like this recording of a landing on another world. @fireflyspace

All right!

This wouldn't have happened in the EU

@Slopey @MartyJ777 There's a bronze statue of Yoda near me....

@MartyJ777 @DJSnM It's not new - there's been a traffic cone on the head of the Duke of Wellington statue in Glasgow since at least the 1980s... Queen Elizabeth II in Aberdeen wears one from time to time also. It's just a thing we do - every statue needs a traffic cone imho.

The traffic cone at the end was perfect

#SchweickartAuction open now. Among the items carried aboard #Apollo9 was a miniature #DeclarationOfIndependence—a founding document from one era of exploration, carried into another nearly two centuries later. Own a piece of American and space history: bit.ly/4vl4yDM

@jotunfo Yes and more energy means higher temperatures and pressure

@DJSnM I thought the Isp was purely limited by the temperature inside the rocket engine 🤔

A recent Long March 12 launch used a new high energy Kerosene which increases specific impulse by about 2.5%. The Soviet Union developed something similar they named 'Syntin'. The fuel uses cyclopropane rings where the molecule is twisted tight, like a spring, this means extra energy contained in the same mass of fuel.

@PetesGuide @dpoddolphinpro I just know the pitch angle I don’t want to exceed.

@DJSnM @dpoddolphinpro Serious question: Do you calculate a new eye-to-wheels height interpretation of the VASI with the camera mounted, to avoid testing its impact rating?

I still have no idea how they land that L-1011 without damaging Pegasus. The clearance between the main gear and the aft fins is an uncomfortably low number 😅

@TheBrianMcManus @SynBio1 CT means computational tomography, there are many scanning processes that can be used to get the data for the CT step

@SynBio1 It's not a CT scanner...that requires x-rays.

I knew as soon as midjourney announced that CT scanner I was going to be treated to every medical imaging expert on earth posting every possible technical limitation of CT scanning that might make it not work Never change biotech

I love getting out of Washington and spending time with the people getting the job done! It was great visiting @NASAAmes for the annual center picnic, meeting employees, interns, and students, and hearing firsthand about the work shaping the future of science & exploration. I also had the chance to see some of the incredible capabilities that make Ames unique…from the world’s largest vertical motion flight simulator, where every Space Shuttle astronaut trained and no doubt those that will land on the moon will train, to the newly restored Hangar One, a landmark that represents both NASA’s history and its future. Every visit reminds me that America’s leadership in space is powered by the people who show up every day to solve hard problems and push the boundaries of what’s possible.

Eureka!! Hope you all are enjoying the World Cup

Found the plot for a new Andy Weir movie.

What a journey! 👏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Two Scotland fans have flown across the Atlantic in a small propeller plane to the World Cup ⚽ bbc.in/4ezUhMP

@sarahhepola Change a tire or fix a tire. Different skills, I’ve done both

Question for the men in the group: do you know how to fix a tire? If you got a flat tire, would you fix it yourself or call AAA? (I do not need my tired fixed. I’m doing research.)

I love the Midjourney has made this big step towards medical imaging... but what I want to know is can the ultrasound speakers work together to create the ultimate sound system.

@TylerGlaiel They have all the oxygen they need

how much oxygen do they have left now?

@heroineworshipe It's annoying how hard it is to do 'interesting' partial panel in the G7 cirrus.

@DJSnM Yeah, can't see an artificial horizon anywhere.

Above the clouds…. With a simulated PFD failure.

Now that SpaceX is putting most of their resources towards orbital AI data centres... Is Relativity Space now the Mars company?
