@nevernorminal @NASAArtemis Actually......... its more like his rocket than other manned spacecraft flying. But cute try though!

This ain’t your granddad’s moon rocket.

@shellenberger There is too much money and power globally wrapped up in controlling where energy comes from. Many powerful wealthy people would have had to give up money and power in order to build infrastructure as you've said. That wont happen.

The Hormuz crisis is the precipitating factor in the current energy crisis, but the underlying cause is too little oil and gas production outside the Persian Gulf. Had the world spent the past decade building the oil, gas, LNG, pipeline, and fertilizer infrastructure that engineers designed and companies proposed, the Hormuz crisis would still be a serious geopolitical event, but it would not threaten to cause a recession. North America — The Atlantic Coast Pipeline, a 600-mile natural gas line from West Virginia to North Carolina, saw its cost double from $4.5 billion to $8 billion during years of environmental litigation before Duke Energy and Dominion Energy cancelled it in July 2020. — The Constitution Pipeline from Pennsylvania to New York died the same year. — The PennEast Pipeline won its case at the United States Supreme Court in 2021 and still could not get built because New Jersey refused to issue state permits. — In Canada, TransCanada abandoned the $15.7 billion Energy East pipeline in 2017 after the National Energy Board required an unprecedented review of upstream and downstream emissions. — In January 2024, the Biden administration paused all pending approvals for LNG export terminals shipping to non-free-trade-agreement countries, freezing projects representing tens of billions of cubic feet per day of potential capacity. — Venture Global’s CP2 terminal in Louisiana, designed for 20 million tonnes per annum, sat in regulatory limbo for over a year. — NextDecade’s Rio Grande LNG in Texas, with 48 MTPA of planned capacity, stalled alongside it. — PTT Global Chemical’s proposed $10 billion ethane cracker in Belmont County, Ohio, first announced in 2015, remains on indefinite hold after failing to attract financing partners amid climate-driven investor sentiment. — Across the US Gulf Coast, nearly 60% of planned plastic and petrochemical production projects sit on hold. — LNG Canada, the Shell-led terminal at Kitimat, British Columbia, took over six years from construction start to first cargo, with its pipeline running 263% over budget. Environmental review, Indigenous disputes, and contractor cost escalation all contributed. — Pieridae Energy’s Goldboro LNG project in Nova Scotia, a 10 MTPA facility first proposed in 2012, was abandoned in November 2023 after more than a decade of permitting and financing obstacles. Australia — Australia’s Santos’s Barossa gas project was halted midway through construction after a Federal Court ruling overturned its environmental approval. — Woodside’s Scarborough project faces ongoing litigation from the Australian Conservation Foundation seeking to block it on climate grounds. Africa — Perhaps nowhere has the damage been more consequential than in Africa. At COP26 in 2021, wealthy nations pledged to halt overseas development finance for gas projects, a commitment that fell hardest on the continent least responsible for climate change and most in need of energy infrastructure. — The World Bank stopped financing oil and gas extraction in 2019 and imposed restrictive conditions on downstream gas projects. — The European Investment Bank announced a complete ban on unabated fossil fuel financing by the end of 2021, with its president declaring that “gas is over.” — At least 21 other development finance institutions followed suit. As a result: — TotalEnergies’ Mozambique LNG project sat under force majeure for four and a half years after the UK Export Credit Agency and other backers withdrew climate-motivated financing. — The East African Crude Oil Pipeline lost financing commitments from more than 30 major international banks under pressure from climatists. Europe — France prevented the completion of a third gas interconnector with Spain, citing climate neutrality goals. — The United Kingdom imposed a moratorium on fracking in 2019 despite sitting atop one of Europe’s most promising shale gas formations. — Germany, which shuttered its last three nuclear plants in April 2023, compounded its gas dependency by refusing to develop domestic shale resources. — CF Industries permanently shut the UK’s largest ammonia plant at Billingham, a facility that also produced 60% of Britain’s food-grade CO2. — Yara International curtailed output across plants in France, Italy, and Belgium before permanently closing its 400,000 tonne per year ammonia facility at Tertre, Belgium, in October 2024. These closures occurred because European climate policy made gas too expensive for the domestic industry to survive.

@thequeenofrust I follow them on Facebook, not sure if they're anywhere else

@Part107Flyer I do not. What platform are they on?

Imagine being an artist, whose work is etched in stone and will be admired long after your name fades from memory.

@thequeenofrust One of my earliest memories of grade school. I grew up 4th generation in a very tiny town in Kansas, one late spring day our field trip was to the cemetery where we made tombstone rubbings with crayon and paper. This began a lifelong interest in the history of my ancestors.

Do you like learning about old cemeteries? If so, we should be friends. 👯‍♀️

@mymatrixplug To be clear, SpaceX doesn't maintain strict airspace restrictions, the FAA does. SpaceX can only request the agency place TFRs as private citizens and private companies do not own the airspace above owned property It is part of the national airspace which is governed by the FAA.

🚫 NO DRONE ZONE 🚫 SpaceX maintains strict airspace restrictions around Starbase. Drones and unmanned aircraft are prohibited in this zone. 🚀✨

@thequeenofrust I get and appreciate the expression, but when all our loved ones and friends are also gone we are not forgotten. We will be together again in Heaven. Death is only for the physical body, not the soul.

Good morning from the resting and forgotten.

@Astro_Jessica @Space_Station @northropgrumman Dont ya think its wrong to name a cargo vessel, destined to burn up in the atmosphere after a shuttle commander who was lost in the same manner? #comeonman

Another day on the @Space_Station brings the departure of another vehicle, the last of our 3 cargo vehicles on the US Operating Segment (USOS). Today we bid farewell to the @northropgrumman Cygnus NG-23 cargo vehicle, named after our late colleague NASA astronaut Willie McCool. As I watched Cygnus disappear over the horizon, I took a moment to reflect and honor Willie, and all of the STS-107 crew, who honorably gave their lives in their effort to advance science and space exploration. Godspeed S.S. William “Willie” C. McCool, thank you for your service! 📷 — The Northrop Grumman Cygnus NG-23 cargo vehicle sits grappled by the @csa_asc Canadarm, awaiting its release. This cargo vehicle delivered valuable scientific experiments, hardware and supplies for all of us on the ISS. At the end of its mission, it is now full of trash which will burn up in the atmosphere.

@thequeenofrust Gotta be better than a sourdough or life hack rabbit hole! 🤣🤣

Found myself in a Gypsy Rose Blanchard rabbit hole on TikTok while killing time in the hospital waiting room. Somebody come pull me out.

@thequeenofrust I know its maddening and exhausting for you all, but you're doing the right thing for your dad! You all are setting good example for your kids and grandkids so they experience how good people take care of family. These tough days will pay off in the future.

@Part107Flyer I can’t imagine all the people that have no one as advocates 😭

@MarcusHouse Static fire or test fit?

It's fire time! 🔥

@FelixSchlang @Jordanguidry6 Does that fit the booster engine install timeline? Seems very quick..which would be nice

The booster transport stand is staged in the ring yard in front of Megabay 1. 🥳 Hopefully this means that Booster 19 will be transported for static fire testing soon! 📸: @Jordanguidry6

@Part107Flyer Double that and you’d be correct.

Things left behind in old houses.

Reminder that Starship is huge!

@kevin_deck68714 @FelixSchlang GREAT question!

@FelixSchlang April 2026 or April 2027?

SLS repaired ✅ New rollout in the coming weeks ✅ Launch window: starts April 1st ✅

@thequeenofrust Beefy

Making friends everywhere I go. Granite Quarry, NC📍

@texas_lizard Thats a lot of exposed plumbing with hard bends at a turbulent location on the ship.

Starship V3 SN1

@RGVaerialphotos That camera pod just below the nose and between the forward flaps will provide some great views.

Starbase weekly is live in 2.5 hrs
