@FistofEtiquette @ISSAboveYou @sen @Space_Station @SLCgov @provocity @NWSSaltLakeCity @tvheidihatch @kslnewsradio @KUTV2News @abc4utah @fox13 @bobbynovakfox13 I would not call you a fool - although perhaps others might? Did you watch the entire 1-minute video? Did you not see the two colors of the Great Salt Lake - and the wispy clouds and the remains of the wildfire smoke? p.s. I captured this video clip from the payload.

@ISSAboveYou @sen @Space_Station @SLCgov @provocity @NWSSaltLakeCity @tvheidihatch @kslnewsradio @KUTV2News @abc4utah @fox13 @bobbynovakfox13 You can't fool me. The lake is two different colors. This is just you scrolling up a Google Maps orthomosaic.

Great mission update! The Pierogi looks delish! This is the view from @sen's external camera during the downlink. The camera payload is just to the left of @AstroPeggy and @astro_slawosz on the outside of the @esa Columbus Module (video is x15 realtime timelapse) @drlucieinthesky

Soyuz 72S appears in @sen's nadir camera as it executes the departure burn to move farther away from the @Space_Station. The crew of Alexey Ovchinin, Ivan Vagner, and @astro_pettit will return to Earth at 9:20 pm ET. Note: The 4K clip will be available on YouTube and Sen.com - all rights owned by @sen

@astro_Pettit I am so gonna miss all your shenanigans from zero-g life aboard the @Space_Station when you return this coming weekend. Thank you for brining everything to this mission - and for bringing us with you @astro_Pettit!

Orbital Trompe-l'œil (French for “fool the eye”, a term I borrowed from artful painting now applied to space).

@AskFrontier Well that was a complete waste of time @AskFrontier. Why bother to ask me to DM when the answer was "go back to the original customer service rep" who didn't (couldn't) tell me anything about why it was cancelled?

@liamkennedy It could have been due to a system error, Liam. If you send us a private message, we can look into this for you. -Joe twitter.com/messages/compo…

Hey @FrontierCorp - I'm loving your service - HOWEVER, not loving that my scheduled upgrade for tomorrow was "deactivated" without any notification, and the customer service rep could not tell me why.

@HomeDepotCanada While that's accurate it's not the final answer here. Any company can protect their intellectual property. When a web site is literally claiming they are YOU then you can legally take action to bring that site down. I (as a customer) have taken that on it seems on your behalf.

@liamkennedy Unfortunately we do not have any control over the information someone lists on their privately owned sites.

Hey @HDCares can you please check out thehuskytool.com? They claim to be THE official web site for @HomeDepot's HUSKY TOOLS brand - but I have seen posts online reporting the site as a scam. Please help YOUR customers who are being scammed by this web site. Thanks!

This is SUCH a complicated topic and many people are voicing opinions with some basic facts missing. Please allow me a few minutes to explain this situation in depth: Let's start at the beginning... SpaceX and Boeing were hired in 2014 to provide commercial crew services to the ISS for NASA. SpaceX was the first to successfully fly and safely return crew with operational flights beginning in 2020. Boeing had an unsuccessful test flight in 2019 which required a redo in 2022 which was considered successful despite a few thruster malfunctions, it safely flew the mission to and from the ISS. It should be noted, that Boeing received nearly double the amount SpaceX did for the Commercial Crew Program, mostly for "timeline assurance" - ironic This eventually led to the flight of Boeing's Starliner Crew Flight Test with Butch and Suni in June, 2024. Immediately once on orbit, the vehicle experienced thruster issues and small helium leaks which were more off-nominal than they would've liked. The safest thing to do was to dock to the ISS where they could further test and figure out the exact issue and determine the safest thing to do next. The ISS was their original destination and once on Station, the Crew was safe AND had work to do as highly trained NASA astronauts, station keeping, and doing research and science. During this period, there technically wasn't a known, safe way to get Butch and Suni back, so NASA and SpaceX devised a way to have them return as the 5th and 6th crew on the Crew-8 Dragon, C206 Endeavour in the case of an emergency on station. After a few months of testing, NASA decided the safest thing to do was to have the Boeing Starliner return uncrewed, which would free up that docking port to allow the Crew-9 SpaceX Dragon Capsule a place to dock. So in September, the malfunctioning Starliner returned (safely), uncrewed, and for about two weeks the official way off the station in an emergency was by being the 5th and 6th crew inside the Crew-8 Dragon capsule, but then on September 29th, Crew-9 docked to the ISS. THIS MEANS, THE SPACEX CREW DRAGON CAPSULE THAT IS DEEMED TO "RESCUE" / UN-"ABANDON" / "SAVE" BUTCH AND SUNI HAS ALREADY BEEN DOCKED TO THE ISS SINCE SEPTEMBER. People seem to be missing this point. And here's where this all gets pretty complicated... NASA / Roscosmos flew Crew-9 with only Nick Hague and Aleksandr Gorbunov so there would be two seats available to return Butch and Suni from the ISS. They even brought up two SpaceX space suits with them since the Boeing Starliner ones weren't compatible with Dragon. Normally, the ISS crews do 6 month stays with overlapping "expeditions" where half the crew basically rotates out every three months. What it really means is, GENERALLY, you go up on one spacecraft, you come down on that same one. And crewed spacecraft come up every 3 months, basically play a game of tag, and they swap with half the crew that's currently onboard. They alternate, US Commercial Crew and Russian Soyuz vehicles. Sometimes these schedules change, and sometimes missions have crew on much longer than 6 months, with the record and the safe timeframe being considered about one year. So the plan has been to have Butch and Suni join Crew-9. This means they are part of Expedition 71, 72 AND 73 on the ISS. Basically they got to do an extra expedition, something that I think most professional astronauts might see as a good thing. Since normally you don't have a crew leave the ISS until their replacements arrive, this means Crew-9 isn't slated to leave until Crew-10 arrives. In December it was revealed that Crew-10 is targeting no earlier than March because the particular SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule that was slated to be used for that mission is not yet ready because it is brand new and there was still fabrication, assembly, testing and final integration of the vehicle necessary before it flew. This Crew Dragon, C213, is the fifth and likely final Dragon Capsule that will be built. So why are they waiting on a brand new spacecraft to launch Crew-10? Why aren't they just using one of the other 5 to fly Crew-10 sooner and get Butch and Suni home sooner? Well, C207 Resilience flew Polaris Dawn and is modified for free flying and is docking-portless at the moment, and will be flying Fram-2 soon. C206 Endeavor is undergoing refurbishment as planned after its 5th flight. C212 Freedom is currently docked to the ISS and C210 is currently slated to fly Axiom-4. So what options are there? What if they really do say "just bring them home already!!!"... well it causes a bit of a mess. First off, they would abandon their expedition 72 crew mate, Don Pettit, to be the only person onboard the US segment of the ISS. Leaving him alone to do all station keeping, leaving virtually no time to do science or research, he'd become a full time janitor / maintenance man until he was relieved of his duties. It should be noted that when they increased crew size from a crew of 3 to a crew of 4, the amount of science that could be done nearly doubled, which goes to show just how much time and energy it takes to keep the station operational for a crew. Another option is rush completion and certification of the C213 Dragon and fly Crew-10 earlier, which I think we all agree is a terrible option, and likely one SpaceX wouldn't sign off on, no matter how much pressure there is from up top. Another option is to switch Crew-10 to fly on C210, which is also not great since the Crew has been training specifically to certify and test out C213 as part of their mission. Swapping two crews' hardware at this point would be fairly negligent too. Lastly, the option is to just wait until Crew-10 arrives, swap the crews per usual and allow Butch and Suni to fly home on Crew-9's Dragon Capsule once Crew-10 is settled in and operating the station. This is the option NASA, and ultimately SpaceX, chose. These are just plain and simple the facts of the situation, hopefully it helps you develop an informed and nuanced opinion on this complicated subject matter.

@HomeDepotCanada I appreciate the site is now being blocked by some systems (I did a lot of reporting to scam sites and even their original payment gateway processor) and that's starting to make a difference. This is their home page

@liamkennedy I was not able. to access the due to the security protocols on our server as it was quickly identified as a threat. This site is not affiliated with Home Depot Canada or the Husky Brand

@HomeDepotCanada Thanks for response (both here and via DM). I am based in USA - so not sure how that would work. This being such an egregious brand hijacking I thought you might want to take a more direct/heavy-handed approach to stamp this out - on behalf of your customers.

@liamkennedy To report website fraud in Canada, you should contact the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre by calling their toll-free number: 1-888-495-8501; you can also report online through their website. Thank you.

@TheSpaceGal Hi @TheSpaceGal - thanks for the question. Check out @Sen - who have just started full-time public live streaming of 4K Earth views from their SpaceTV-1 payload on the @Space_Station (full disclosure - I am their SpaceTV Director) youtube.com/watch?v=fO9e9j…

What missions / companies do you want to see covered on Xploration Outer Space this year?

@HomeDepotCanada Thanks @HomeDepotCanada - I followed you and sent a DM

@liamkennedy Hello Liam Thank you for bringing this to our attention, we would like to hear more about this. Please reach out to us by private message, so that we can continue the conversation.-Sandra M

@astro_Pettit Super photo and capture of such a unique moment. What date/time was this captured? Thanks!

2025 Maha Kumbh Mela Ganges River pilgrimage from the ISS at night. The largest human gathering in the world is well lit.

@spaceguy87 @NASA_Johnson @cknasaboy @hunt_harriet Oh great feedback. Thanks! As our camera is on the FWD side of ISS on Columbus/Bartolomeo this would have perhaps bounced off a solar array as it appears to be coming from FWD/STBD side of station from the direction of travel.

@liamkennedy @NASA_Johnson @cknasaboy @hunt_harriet It’s probably just something from ISS and it’s going “down” not “across”. The difference is impossible to tell with a spec object and no background context for relative motion. This is what a lot of paint flakes, liquid droplets look like when they fall off the station.

It was very cool to capture this. I wonder if any folks on #CRONUS console @NASA_Johnson may have seen anything on their feeds (it was not visible in the EHDC6 Nadir view due to the "Pump Module" blocking the view at the time of this event). @cknasaboy @spaceguy87 @hunt_harriet
