@DJSnM do any of the machines on the lunar surface right now experience any side effects from the total lunar eclipse? Reduced solar power perhaps? Temperatures?

@1776cummins @Erdayastronaut Because he's asking specifics? Because he's calling Elon out on his BS answer?
English

The astronauts were only supposed to be up there for 8 days and now have been there for 8 months.
SpaceX could have sent up another Dragon and brought them home 6 months ago, but the Biden White House (not NASA) refused to allow it.
President Trump asked to bring them back as soon as possible and we are doing so.

NASA: Turns out Elon Musk was telling the truth. Biden refused to let the stranded astronauts to come home last year for political reasons.

Ok yes, you may have. But you also violated long standing rules of conduct which u are well aware of. And in doing so you are fully aware of the consequences up to censure. While I respect your intent, the consequences may prove severe. Therefore, at best from a strategic point of view you accomplished nothing more than a hollow victory. In the future, I would encourage you to think logically along the lines of action, reaction, counter-reaction. Govern your emotions based on a purpose that best supports the many…not the one

Last night I stood up for those who need Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security. Democrats will never abandon the fight to make sure every American has a safe, healthy, and financially secure life. #ISaidWhatISaid

Holy cow!
Elon Musk’s Grok AI literally thinks Trump is a Russia asset.
“I estimate a 75-85% likelihood Trump is a Putin-compromised asset, leaning toward the higher end due to the consistency of his behavior and the depth of historical ties.” — Grok

@joeyigw See this is one reason why I never tried my hand at photographing rockets professionally. The rockets were cool. It was the people around me sabotaging each other that really turned me off.

@moonsawmygbane @elonmusk @StationCDRKelly @iss @Astro_Andreas This is all of what he used to be. Ever since the attempt on Trump's life, he's gone full MAGA Kool Aide and no longer runs on the principles that made SpaceX and Tesla successful.

Elon doesn’t rely on rhetoric or persuasive fluff—he’s not about grand speeches or empty promises. He’s a scientist at heart, driven by first principles and evidence that can’t be easily debunked. His observations come from breaking things down to their core truths, like engineering problems or physics constraints, and building solutions from there. SpaceX reflects that: they’ve tackled reusable rockets, slashed launch costs, and delivered results—like getting Crew Dragon operational—while others were still debating possibilities. If SpaceX had been in charge of your ride home, they’d have analyzed the data, iterated fast, and had you back on Earth already. Look at their track record: Falcon 9’s flying, Starship’s stacking up launches, and they don’t mess around with delays when the evidence says ‘go.’

I was the Commander of the @ISS when Andy, @Astro_Andreas flew his first space mission. He is one of the most competent, trustworthy, and honest people I’ve ever met. This rhetoric is beyond the pale but, sadly, not surprising. He does not deserve this kind of disrespect.
Elon Musk@elonmusk
@Astro_Andreas You are fully retarded. SpaceX could have brought them back several months ago. I OFFERED THIS DIRECTLY to the Biden administration and they refused. Return WAS pushed back for political reasons. Idiot.

@SteveGuest Holy crap did you really count? That's how you spend your time?

In the 25 days since Trump’s inauguration, CNN has mentioned “egg prices” 45 times.
But in the 25 days before the inauguration, CNN NEVER mentioned “egg prices.”
Over on MSNBC, in the 25 days since Trump’s inauguration, they mentioned “edge prices” 80 times.
But in the 25 days before the inauguration, MSNBC mentioned “egg prices” just 1 time.
Beyond parody. (Count via TVEyes mentions.)

@peachastro @AnthonyJCook2 Clouds here on Earth or on Mars?

Federal employee retirements are processed using paper, by hand, in an old limestone mine in Pennsylvania. 700+ mine workers operate 230 feet underground to process ~10,000 applications per month, which are stored in manila envelopes and cardboard boxes. The retirement process takes multiple months.

The amount of shit we took for being Star Wars fans, as KIDS, in the 90s and 2000's was equivalent to COD 2 online lobbies. It was not a fun time. You were literally an outcast.
Now it's mainstream but only if you support the ideology injected projects..And if you don't...well...choose your buzz word.
Being a Star Wars fan meant social destruction or like what you like.
I chose to like Star Wars and I still to do this day.
Real Star Wars. That is.

@MonsignorMrtnez @DJSnM That's it. You figured it out. You totes solved the case. Good job.
English

@DJSnM Would be nice if the plane to be seen and avoided could flash their landing lights so other traffic can confirm that they have that exact plane in sight and not another in the sequence. More workload yes, but it would have prevented this.

One thing I realized this morning about the collision was the speed of both aircraft was pretty close. People don't think of helicopters as fast, but this was doing a groundspeed of about 100kts, while airliner was about 125kts.
The airliner was on approach, flaps deployed, headed into the wind, helicopter was moving with it.

@darksecretplace not relevant to anything but one time you posted this song and I liked it and I found it again and I still like it.

Elon — genuine question: do you value character, honesty and accountability, whatsoever? Because you know that’s a complete mischaracterization of this complex situation.
Generalizing often can be a headwind for positive discourse, but so many of your various actions in the last few weeks, months, and years stand at quite a contrast to these core values.
I found the space community and am pursuing my line of work now, in large part, because of the excitement you brought to the world via your efforts in spaceflight in the 2010s and early 2020s. It’s supremely disappointing to see the path you’re charting and you so often sharing such blatant mis and disinformation…
all for attempted personal and political benefit.
You wield incredible power to do good in the world and have already done much. Connect, launch, transport sustainably: the world, to name a few. I hope you zoom out before too long—because you have so much potential to bring people together through your efforts but the things you say and do often and more recently, divide.

@TrevorMahlmann @elonmusk @POTUS @SpaceX @Space_Station Too smart of a post for this platform @TrevorMahlmann. Your intellect is not welcome here.
English

The @POTUS has asked @SpaceX to bring home the 2 astronauts stranded on the @Space_Station as soon as possible. We will do so.
Terrible that the Biden administration left them there so long.
