#bassfishing on the #FourthOfJuly. In 20 minutes, three fish bag over ten pounds. Hoosier bass fishing at its best.

Up we go! The steel launch table that New Glenn sits on weighs 1.7 million pounds (roughly 726 metric tons), including the clamps that connect to the vehicle's aft ring.

We recently completed New Glenn’s first stage test of its six landing legs—a key area for reusability, which lowers the cost of access to space. The landing gear stow inside the rocket during flight, deploying as the booster gently touches down on our landing vessel at sea.

Space community: We need your help! Rayyan, one of our passionate high school astronomers & dedicated volunteers, has a unique opportunity to attend the @RiceUniversity Aerospace Academy — but to attend, he needs to raise $4,325 within the next two weeks.

Starship Flight 4: (unofficial) post-launch infographic textless version. Tomorrow I’ll upload a completed text version with updated mission data.

@BCCarCounters @julia_bergeron Do they scrap existing designs of starship and move forward with design change moving flap to leeward side? I am very eager to see what data they collect on the heat tiles.

In case you are wondering. The FAA is still asscessing the operation and will determine if a mishap investigation is warranted, regarding Starship Flight 4.

@InfographicTony It would be cool to see the information graphic with the actual result too. Awesome job. Love these!

Starship FT-4 (unofficial) infographic wallpaper. What I love about a good infographic is its ability to tell the story without words. I normally provide my infographics with and without text, both have their merits.

Here is my (unofficial) infographic of Starliner’s first crewed launch, scheduled to liftoff from the Cape no earlier than June 1, 2024. Let us also not forget another milestone with this mission, it will be ULA’s first ever crewed mission as the launch provider. Godspeed to all.

At 5000 tons, Starship is the largest flying object ever made. Thrust is more than double the Saturn V moon rocket. It is the first spaceship design capable of making life multiplanetary. Goal of the next mission is to make it through the meteorically extreme heat of reentry.

Love this both for its information and for the presentation!

For the first time, scientists observe a single killer whale killing a great white shark, and then eating its liver trib.al/oFtcpUH

@SithElephant @NASASpaceflight Awesome, thanks for the response.

@radeng87 @NASASpaceflight (I have not done this for this item of debris). With the motion across the sky and the variation in brightness, you can imply the size and speed/trajectory to a moderate degree of accuracy. If it ends up as >earth escape speed, it is almost certainly a meteor.

Hand belonging to an X-ray technician at the Royal London Hospital, which shows the damage from radiation exposure, 1900. Every morning, they would calibrate the machines by taking an X-ray of their hands. So you might be wondering, why not just use something else to test the X-ray? Like a piece of meat or a chicken leg? Well back in 1900, people didn't know the dangers of radiation exposure so they thought it would be harmless to use their hands. During this time, people could even purchase and build their own X-ray at home for entertainment purposes. Those who did, however, often went on to develop cancer or suffer from amputations. The X-ray had been discovered just a few years before in 1895 by a man name Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen, a German mechanical engineer and physicist. He named it X-ray because he actually didn't have a name for his invention and decided to use the mathematical designation "x" for something unknown. In some European countries, X-rays are actually called Röntgen rays. Röntgen did not seek patents for his discoveries because he wanted society to benefit from the practical applications of X-rays. In 1901, Röntgen was awarded the first Nobel Prize in Physics.

@wholemars @BottinPhilip For those who follow this company and the industry closely truly understand the success of this mission in terms of data collection. This by design part of the the iterative process which allows for more test flights which result in a higher failure rate but generates results.

The biggest rocket in the world just flew further than it ever has before. But if you listen to the media, you’d think it was a big fat flop. The reality: The magnitude of this accomplishment by SpaceX makes the entire career of those critics look like a joke by comparison.

@NASASpaceflight Have you ever dropped a screw?

So, there's a big net under Booster 9 on the OLM. That's new. nsf.live/starbase

@bradflix86 @WallStreetSilv What about the waste?

@WallStreetSilv Nuclear power is so much safer than most people make it out to be. It's nearly 8,000 times more efficient than traditional fossil fuels. Here's a newly built reactor called Plant Vogtle in Maon GA. The only one built in the US in the past 20 years. We need more of these.

Germany energy policy is crazy. Germany destroyed their own nuclear power plants, shutting down 17 nuclear power plants since 2011. Then they buy power from France, which is 2/3 nuclear. Germany also can't buy natural gas via pipeline from Russia. Instead they import it via LNG from around the world, which is usually WAY more expensive.
