@NASAAdmin @POTUS Dadgummit Jared for a second I thought you were saying that Big Boy was hauling the train xD
Arrange it with Union Pacific for Artemis IV, have a steam locomotive haul spaceflight hardware!
English
The locomotive honoring America’s 250th anniversary and @POTUS is now hauling the solid rocket booster segments that will help power Artemis III.
The Artemis program began under President Trump’s first term. Now the hardware for humanity’s return to the lunar surface is moving down the tracks.
Union Pacific@UnionPacific
🚀 From America’s rails to the moon! 🌕 Built by @WabtecCorp and unveiled with @northropgrumman , our newest commemorative locomotive #up4547 began its first mission hauling @NASA Artemis III rocket components, powering the next era of exploration. Former NASA astronaut Doug Hurley captured it well at the unveiling ceremony: “Together, we are taking the next leap for humanity.” up.com/news/service/a…

@SpaceKoala The United States of America is guilty of many, many evils, but any who will pretend the powers of Europe are innocent is a liar.
Every man and woman on this Earth is capable of profound good and profound evil, and we must not forget that.
English
@SpaceKoala I remember reading about it in a college American history class. There is evil based on racism, on misunderstandings, on revenge -
Then just... the conquistadors killed for fun. They saw the native Caribs as not human, and made games of the most vile acts imaginable.
English
@starship_41 I've already mentioned - I think this will come across as just really cringey. It'll make older spaceflight enthusiasts look childish.
Just stick it out the best you can, follow good accounts, and be an example of a non-investment speak normal person in the community.
English
I propose that everyone in spitter should add a specific image or text in their bio or banner that shows that they were here before the SpaceX IPO. It can’t be something too obvious or else the stock bros will catch on and try to pretend that they are apart of spitter. Any ideas?

@NoLifeJordan69 Someday we need to get this thing on the Moon
Humanity will not have conquered Luna until someone's torn up the regolith on a dirtbike

@mikonyaan @flydeltajets_ The annoyance to me is that cgi CAN look great, when you plan things out, treat vfx artists like human beings, and combine it with practical stuff.
But companies like Disney especially will reshoot tons of stuff and use cgi for basic crap like what could be a simple prop.
English
@flydeltajets_ When given the budget and time it deserves, modern CGI is damn-near photorealistic at this point. Sometime around the early/mid 2010s, studios finally figured out how to make space look like space (Gravity, Rogue One, and Ad Astra come to mind).
English
i really wanna know how they made the shots of the hail mary flying through space cuz it doesnt feel like CGI at all

When you and your friends need to break a chunk off Antarctica and you want to feel less bad about it

@ApoStructura @BTRBT_ It's further worth noting they expanded our of Africa, across Eurasia, and evehtually to the Americas. They did not find all those resources that enabled more efficient, higher standards of living, until they filled the Earth.
I am certain then, that we do the same in space.
English
They didn’t have access to the same resources, the ressources were there, but they couldn’t exploit them.
By that logic they also had access to lunar or asteroid belt resources that were also there the whole time.
The key is that we’re building the tech to be able to start exploiting ressources that we couldn’t use before, same way we did for metal, fossil fuels, the sun and everything so far
English
I see this rebuttal a lot, but I think it's a bit misguided, and misses a more fundamental point. 🧵
Setting aside the fact that the solar system / galaxy is quite a bit larger, but still ultimately finite, the key point is that economic growth isn't always about "more stuff."
ApoStructura@ApoStructura
Who said anything about a closed finite system?

And people always say Neutron is small? It's almost as tall as Starship, guys! All jokes aside, though... what an awful graphic.

1/ Silver lining? The New Glenn exploded May 28 at LC-36 during a static fire: giant fireball, tower toppled, pad scorched. Bad, right?
Yes, but it gave SLD 45 the real-world data to likely shrink keep-out zones for every methalox-based rocket on the Eastern Range. 🧵👇

@Truthful_ast @_digital_donuts These criminal actions are in conflict with our beliefs, to uphold the law. I hope that justice will be served by this case going to court, and the local police will be held accountable.
English
@_digital_donuts The culture of a state held by a religious cult*
English
The sad reality of this video infringing basic rights to keep a cult (mormons) into power is that the attention span of people is so short that literally all of this will just be forgotten in a year and the corrupt scumbags behind it will likely get away with it just like every other time

The Reckless Ben Lego story is the most outrageous case of police corruption I’ve ever seen. The entire police department of American Fork (a city of 30k) is compromised and being used as a private militia for Bricks & Minifigs to harass and arrest plaintives.
English
@Truthful_ast Truthful, I'm disappointed. I know criticisms many have about our faith, but I encourage you to see us as more than just the words of our detractors.
I'm a Latter-day Saint. I love space, and want to do good in this world.
I like your YouTube and hope you'll consider what I say.
English
@Neon_Bots @ApoStructura @grok To determine if someone is in full fellowship in the church, they simply declare to their bishop if they have paid a full tithe. There is not a check of the financial records or anything.
It is a matter between them and God.
English
@Neon_Bots @ApoStructura @grok When we invite people to join our church, we make it extremely clear that tithing is a commandment God asks of church members.
Still I reiterate that it is not forced in the sense that some would claim. We do not pass a collection plate. Tithing is done confidentially. Further -

English
@ApoStructura @SammyDo32 Absolutely. I'll acknowledge I'm a bit out of my depth as I'm not very knowledgeable about criminal law, all I can say is it looks really sketchy and this definitely needs to go to court.
English
Let’s hope this whole thing finds its way through the justice system. Considering how far the local police has been willing to go it looks like drastic measures will have to be taken. I mean they tried to throw someone in jail for 30 days as a means of intimidation, and repeatedly harassed and arrested people to protect a member of their cummunity, I hope the local community steps up and calls this out
English
@Neon_Bots @grok @ApoStructura I don't know what the local church unit is doing. The local church unit can I believe grant at least a portion of that help, if the family asks for it, but I have not been in the leadership of a congregation so do not know all the particulars of how financial assistance works.
English
@Rust_ranger57 @grok @ApoStructura Why not ask the church to take care of the dying man with cancer that they are stealing from? Wouldn't that be a good use of tithes like you kept harping on about?
Instead you just want them punished and don't even mention the others over this "small $200,000" issue.
English
@Rust_ranger57 @ApoStructura @grok Is the Lego store that stole the Star Wars collection run by Mormons? Is the police force that arrested the YouTuber Mormon?
English
@ApoStructura @SammyDo32 Yes, it is, we recognize that, but we encourage it nonetheless.
I say this as a casual member, while Latter-day Saint is the best, "LDS" is much preferable to "Mormon."
Mormon we believe was a prophet who compiled the book of scripture with his name. We worship Christ, not him.
English
@Rust_ranger57 @SammyDo32 Is there any diminutive to be used? LDSs ? Because that’s a bit of a mouthful haha
English
@ApoStructura @SammyDo32 Side tangent, "Mormon" to refer to church members is an incorrect nickname we are working to retire. We are The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and we prefer to be referred to as Latter-day Saints - we encourage non members to use the correct term.
English
@ApoStructura @SammyDo32 I haven't talked about it with my family but like - we're average people. This is a repulsive crime stealing from this family. Just because they're members of our church doesn't mean we'll just overlook their actions.
