Artemis II spoilers without context

Sorry @NASA my cat wasn’t impressed with that landing. Tried to bat it out of the air.

@TomcatJunkie I like it cleaned up, but the original is best.

Photographers, what’s your thoughts on using AI to clean up a photo? For example.

@pbontoast1 I can’t typo good so no worries!

@seanroofus Typo. My bad!

@pbontoast1 Good old Buffalo.

@MCCCANM Thanks! This was in 2005. I wish I had the cameras I have now, the photos would have been amazing!

@seanroofus Great shot & experience!

The Lockheed Martin C-130 “Hercules” is the longest continuously produced military aircraft, having started production in 1954 & continuing to roll off lines today. Obviously, it’s had significant upgrades since 1954. It’s flown by the U.S. Air Force, Navy & Marine Corps, in addition to the Air Forces of many other countries (about 70 in total). It was originally designed as a replacement for piston engine transports still used during the Korean War. Able to carry up to 92 passengers or 42,000 lbs of cargo, the C-130 has been used for a wide variety of missions over the years, with an ability to land at austere, unprepared airfields. The list of variants is too long to go through, but some of my favorites: Weather Reconnaissance (“Hurricane Hunter”), Gunship (AC-130 “Ghostrider”), Psychological Warfare, Electronic Warfare, Air Refueling Tanker, CSAR Command & Control & even drone control. It can be equipped with skis to land on ice & snow. A paused program by Air Force Special Operations Command sought to equip it with floats for water landings. Some versions were equipped with rockets to shorten takeoff distances. The Marine Corps mounted Hellfire missiles under the wings with a Bushmaster gun on the back deck to turn their tanker version into a quasi-attack aircraft. The possibilities are almost endless & it’s a popular choice for modification. Production of the C-130 is expected to continue at least another 10 years, with somewhere around 20 rolling off the line per year. To date, more than 2,800 have been delivered around the world. In the U.S., the Air Force currently operates approximately 373 of different variants, while the Navy has 33 & the Marine Corps 64; it’s unclear how many each service currently has on backorder, but they do have them on order. It’s estimated there are about 300 currently in a kind of retirement in the “Boneyard” at Davis-Monthan AFB, AZ. They exist in varying states of upkeep, with some being able to be returned to service very quickly. It’s sort of a joke that when an Air Force looks to replace their C-130s, the first choice is the C-130…but there is a lot of truth to that. Anyway, hope you enjoyed a little context to the C-130! As always, this is written in the simplest way I can for people not familiar with aviation & there is a lot more to know. Hope it helps, though!

@SpaceflightNow Liars on wires… you are all going to hell

Artemis 2 commander Reid Wiseman presents Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen with his gold astronaut wings to commemorate his first space flight.

@Martyupnorth Buy a lottery ticket after that!

This is what hitting a moose at night will do to a truck. My buddy Martin is lucky to be alive.

@TomcatJunkie I want one and need to know where to get one!

The fact my family didn’t get me this has me feeling previously unreached levels of disappointment.

@FadeAwayMedia Naaaaa it’s someone else
