@Zaphod_2 @NASAhistory “We have had a problem” and “we have a problem” both work here. But not “we had a problem.

@Zaphod_2 @NASAhistory That is proper English. We had a problem: assumes something went wrong, but it is ok now. We have had a problem: means something happened in the past and the consequences of that problem (the explosion) are still current (oxygen pressure dropping).

"Houston, we've had a problem" Some of the most famous words in NASA's history were spoken on this day in 1970. Two days into the Apollo 13 mission that was to land in the Moon's Fra Mauro region, a routine stirring of the spacecraft's oxygen tanks led to disaster. The crew reported hearing a loud bang and then noted that oxygen tank 2 was empty and tank 1's pressure was falling. With the failing Apollo 13 spacecraft over 210,000 miles (330,000 km) from Earth, the race to save the crew from the life-threatening accident began. In this photo we see the Mission Operations Control Room at what is now Johnson Space Center, during a television transmission that took place just before the accident. Eugene F. Kranz (wearing a white vest with his back to camera), was on duty as one of the four Apollo 13 flight directors. On the large screen we see astronaut Fred W. Haise Jr., Apollo 13's lunar module pilot.

@chrissexybeast1 @RepFine And again, where you’re born doesn’t necessarily establish your citizenship status. Two Americans could have a baby in Austria and it would be a natural born American, with no Austrian citizenship.

@chrissexybeast1 @RepFine You’re just making stuff up at this point. He’s not talking about non-citizens, but dual citizens. Non-citizens can’t, nor they ever could, hold public office. And he’s not talking about being strictly a natural born citizen either. Simply about dual citizens.

Foreigners should not be able to serve in Congress. That’s why I’ve introduced the Disqualifying Dual Loyalty Act. If you’re a citizen of another country, you shouldn’t serve this one. Get out.

@chrissexybeast1 @RepFine Also, extremely ignorant take. The country where you’re born, isn’t necessarily the one you have citizenship of. Not every country observes jus soli, like the U.S. In fact, most don’t.

@chrissexybeast1 @RepFine People can renounce their citizenships. Cruz renounced his Canadian one in 2014, for example. Moreno himself tried to introduced a bill to end dual citizenship altogether.

@BasedMikeLee The amendment is very clear. Yes, jus soli today is unfair and a threat to national security. So do what you need to do and start an amending process. It’s not SCOTUS’ fault words have the meaning they do.

@BasedMikeLee Vastly misleading to leave out the rest. “Foreigners, aliens, who belong to the families of ambassadors.” It doesn’t say “… or who…” Which has always been the case. Children born to foreign diplomats with immunity (not under U.S. jurisdiction) aren’t U.S. citizens.

How long will it be before Judge Boasberg issues an order declaring this statement “debunked”?

@manuelpourtois @MichaelCalifra @SpainGreatAgain @NASAAdmin Ohhh… ok. You’re one of those. Would rather see the object of your hatred fail than see humanity succeed. Got it.

@mark71776 @MichaelCalifra @SpainGreatAgain @NASAAdmin - Starship don't exist - is build by a nazi - not human qualified before 5 years

Nominal translunar injection burn complete. The Artemis II crew is officially on the way to the Moon. America is back in the business of sending astronauts to the Moon. This time, farther than ever before.

@manuelpourtois @MichaelCalifra @SpainGreatAgain @NASAAdmin You better hope he cracks it, cause moon and mars bases aren’t happening at $4.1B a launch. Without Starship, Artemis is just another Apollo half a century later. And even the Apollo program wasn’t as expensive in today’s dollars.

@mark71776 @MichaelCalifra @SpainGreatAgain @NASAAdmin 'Elon cost' - free tiles refurbishing : BS - '3 x payload' : after 10 refueling and crew transfer from elsewhere.

@realBrandonGill You’re smart and already know that. Is it morally right to end jus soli? In today’s world, yes. Is it a potential threat to national security? Also yes. So start the amending process.

@realBrandonGill “Foreigners, aliens, who belong to the families of ambassadors.” It doesn’t say “… or who…” Which has always been the case. Children born to foreign diplomats with immunity (not under U.S. jurisdiction) aren’t U.S. citizens.

Our Constitution isn’t a suicide pact

@RedWavePress Not a good thing today, and a potential threat to national security. So start the amending process.

@RedWavePress “Foreigners, aliens, who belong to the families of ambassadors.” It doesn’t say “… or who…” Which has always been the case. Children born to foreign diplomats with immunity (not under U.S. jurisdiction) aren’t U.S. citizens.

Fox News’ Will Cain: “Here is what was the status quo and radical at the time. Why don’t we take the words of the Chief Spokesperson, Senator Jacob Howard, who helped draft the 14th Amendment? Who said it was NEVER intended to APPLY to illegal aliens.” “He wrote in 1866: ‘This will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens, who belong to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers accredited to the Government of the United States but will include every other class of persons.’” “So the original intent had NOTHING to do with the way it’s being applied over the last 20-30 years.”

@Jon_in_Florida @BasedMikeLee To be clear, I think jus soli, at least today, is wrong and a threat to national security, but that doesn’t mean we can just reinvent what words mean. So what? So you go through the amending process to do what’s right.

@Jon_in_Florida @BasedMikeLee I mean he’s literally telling them why they shouldn’t. “Foreigners, aliens, who belong to the families of ambassadors.” It doesn’t say “… or who…” Which has always been the case. Children born to foreign diplomats with immunity (not under U.S. jurisdiction) aren’t U.S. citizens

The Fourteenth Amendment doesn’t say what the far left wishes it said Didn’t mean that then Still doesn’t mean that today

@manuelpourtois @MichaelCalifra @SpainGreatAgain @NASAAdmin It doesn’t cost $4.1B to launch either. But it has delivered landers. I just corrected the wrong claim. If we want to talk about that, Starship is designed to deliver 3x the payload to the actual surface, not just orbit, for about 0.05% the cost.

@mark71776 @MichaelCalifra @SpainGreatAgain @NASAAdmin Parcels not the 33 tons of a lunar mission

@MichaelCalifra @SpainGreatAgain @NASAAdmin F9 can and has sent payloads to the moon several times, btw.

@SpainGreatAgain @NASAAdmin Falcon can't go to the moon. Earth orbit only

@burnernumber420 @tavi_chocochip The number comes directly from Elon. ~$900,000 for fuel, the rest operational costs. 100 metric tons to the moon and Mars surfaces with in-orbit refueling. SLS is a remnant of the old system that made it unsustainable to have a prolonged presence beyond Earth’s orbit.

@mark71776 @tavi_chocochip SpaceX doesn’t publish their numbers

I find it weird that Elon didn't mention NASA's Artemis II mission at all, despite posting quite a lot on other topics. He keeps saying space exploration is super-important to him. So does he really care about human missions to space, or is it only when it's a SpaceX program?

@burnernumber420 @tavi_chocochip Those are numbers available to anyone. The SLS costs $4.1B to launch, and is $30B in development. Launching Starship is a drop in the ocean compared. For a much more modern and capable spacecraft.

@mark71776 @tavi_chocochip You actually don’t know their costs
