Mr. Vertigo!

Hey DMB friends, welcome to”The Last Stop!” 23 years of following the band, hitting great venues, meeting amazing friends….and also collecting posters! Had to get creative to sneak in the posters from this Fall Tour. Getting close to max capacity! #DMB #DaveMatthewsBand

@JohnCornyn @SpaceCenterHou Glad to know the world is on fire and you’re more interested in chopping up an orbiter for some vanity project. Priorities I guess!

Come and Take It? Yes, we will. But for shenanigans by Obama administration, it would already be there. Glad that the Space Shuttle Discovery is finally coming home to Houston.   @SpaceCenterHou is the right place for this shuttle & I am proud to have led the charge to help bring the Discovery to its rightful home in Space City.

@Ellieinspace @Truthful_ast Dang, lots of pessimism in the responses. Im gonna say yes, just because Im driving down to see it and can only stay around for a day or two! So yes, yes, and yes! (Hopefully)

@Truthful_ast Do we all really think it will launch April 1st?

Holy shit we are going to the Moon in 6 days

@TimHannan @theliamnissan Good thing the economy wasnt 13 years old, he would have repeatedly fucked it!

Donald Trump inherited a solid economy twice and he completely fucked it both times.

@booster_10 I’m just sad I’m never gonna get my postcard back. Their program of flying postcards on flights and then mailing them back to the sender was a really cool idea. Mine just never made it back :(

I really miss New Shepard, say what you will about space tourism but it was also an excellent platform for microgravity recearch.

@eIeven Grace, Rocky, Tars, Cooper Save Stars!

a duo i just made up

@zenanaut @SpaceX @Space_Station This is SO rad! What a view!

@EmmanuelMacron Hope you overcharged them for your yearly subscription fee, sent it a day later then you told them you’d send it, and then forced them to complain to a chat bot for a hour and a half when they tried to get a refund for a wrong part you placed in orbit 🤣

Amazon, your package has been delivered. Ariane 6 has lifted off for the first time with four boosters, making it our most powerful European launcher! On board: 32 satellites for Amazon’s constellation. Amazon chose Europe for this major launch. A French feat, a European success: we’re reaching new heights. Congratulations to the teams.

@ulalaunch Pretty rad to see it from the Gantry today! God speed @ulalaunch

The Vulcan rocket travels to the launch pad with USSF-87 payload. Liftoff is planned for Thursday morning from Cape Canaveral. Photo album: flic.kr/ps/3ju3XB

@LMSpace @NASAArtemis Can you make a miniaturized Orion capsule and send him to the moon? You know...for testing purposes. It only needs to be a one way trip, we dont need him back! #forscience

Unfortunately, this morning #PunxsutawneyPhil once again saw his shadow. The permanently shadowed Shackleton Crater may contain water ice, a precious resource for future @NASAArtemis missions, and with Artemis II on the horizon, we’re one step closer to exploring it. 🌕

@kylecoolky @TheRetortingOne @SawyerMerritt The night sky will certainly look pretty wild if they don’t. I can’t even comprehend what 1 million would look like. Their efforts or reducing the reflections on v2 starlinks helped…hopefully they take it even further.

@TheQuickMan @TheRetortingOne @SawyerMerritt If they were to launch that many satellites, they’d go much harder on reducing reflected light and making sure we can’t see them

BREAKING: SpaceX is requesting to launch and operate a constellation of 1 million satellites with unprecedented computing capacity (orbital data centers) to power advanced AI, according to a new FCC filing. SpaceX: "Launching a million satellites that operate as orbital data centers is a first step towards becoming a Kardashev II-level civilization—one that can harness the Sun's full power-while supporting Al-driven applications for billions of people today and ensuring humanity's multi-planetary future amongst the stars." In the SpaceX filing: • SpaceX aims to deploy a system of up to one million satellites to operate within narrow orbital shells spanning up to 50 km each (leaving sufficient room to deconflict against other systems with comparable ambitions). • System will operate between 500 km and 2,000 km altitude and 30 degrees and sun-synchronous orbit inclinations. • SpaceX plans to design and operate different versions of satellite hardware to optimize operations across orbital shells. • System will rely nearly exclusively on high-bandwidth optical links for communications. These optical links will route traffic within the network and to satellites in the Starlink constellation, via its high capacity (petabit) and high reliability laser mesh, which in turn will transmit traffic to authorized earth stations on the ground. SpaceX added: "With Starship's ability to deliver unprecedented tonnage to orbit for AI compute, the capacity for intelligence processing in space could surpass the electricity consumption of the entire U.S. economy, without the immense cost and disruption of rebuilding Earth's strained electrical grid to support the explosive demand for data centers. In turn, satellites that function as solar-powered orbital data centers are the most cost-effective, energy-efficient, and environmentally sound way to build infrastructure to meet accelerating demand for Al-enabled goods and services. With the inherent efficiencies of deploying solar powered data centers and launch cost rapidly decreasing due to the development of the Starship launch vehicle, SpaceX will be able to cost- effectively scale up its constellation as demand increases and compute evolves. For instance, launching 1 million tonnes per year of satellites generating 100 kW of compute power per tonne would add 100 gigawatts of AI compute capacity annually, with minimal ongoing operational or maintenance needs." (Filing link below)

@kylecoolky @TheRetortingOne @SawyerMerritt Okay, now we’re splitting hairs here. Yes, its reflected sunlight. I never claimed you could see physical hardware. If you follow this back, the original comment was around the effects of 1 million satellites in LEO. Yes, you’ll see “LOTS of reflected sunlight”

@TheQuickMan @TheRetortingOne @SawyerMerritt You can see the reflection of sunlight coming off them, you can’t actually see the satellite itself with the naked eye

As I mentioned, you can see dozens of them on a clear night. Regardless of where they’re at in the commissioning period, you can always spot them. Sure, most people notice the trains, because they’re easier to spot due to the lower altitude, but you can see the ones in the operational shell all the time. Just go outside and look up. Use an app like Night Sky or Sky Live and it’ll show you exactly where to look. No telescope needed.

@TheQuickMan @TheRetortingOne @SawyerMerritt You can’t see Starlink satellites normally. You can, sometimes (when it’s evening and the sun’s at precisely the right place) see the sun reflecting off a train of newly launched satellites before they go through testing and move up into their operational orbit.

@SawyerMerritt 1 million? We really want to test our limits before triggering the Kessler Syndrome don’t we! 🤣

We’ll most definitely see them. Not sure why there are so many comments saying otherwise. You can see dozens of Starlink satellites on any given clear night. The original Starlink altitude was 550km, with many of them being lowered to 480km. If they truly launch a constellation of 1 million, you’ll see them nonstop.

@SawyerMerritt 500km altitude? Is that correct? We will literally see them flying over head? Maybe I'm reading this wrong?

@SpaceNews_Inc Darn, It’s gonna take awhile to get my @clubforfuture postcard sent back now isn’t it?!

Blue Origin halts New Shepard flights spacenews.com/blue-origin-ha…

@torybruno @TonyBruno Have you tried using a SeeStar? Been using the S50 and S30 for a bit now and its fascinating what you can capture from your backyard! This is a great capture!

Finally got a night of seeing. Enjoy a super nova remnant: Jellyfish Nebula.

@airlinevideos Wait until you find out theres more the one of them…and that they’ve most certainly been sighted, pretty routinely for the past several decades.

What’s believed to be the first appearance in its 51-year flying history, the Boeing 747 E-4B Nightwatch, also known as the “Doomsday Plane,” showed up at LAX during Thursday’s Airline Videos Live broadcast and will most likely be the highlight of 2026!

@astro_jaz 😉

“wow, the moon looks so pretty tonight, let me take a picture!” the picture:

@TESLA_winston The condensation inside the camera window? I had this on my 2018 M3 all the time. Was totally conditions dependent but no matter how bad it looked, it never threw any FSD errors and usually cleared up on its own once temps warmed up while driving.

Great… is there a way to repair this without replacing the entire assembly?

@creepydotorg The most astonishing thing about that rumor was that it spread all across the country and we barely had the internet back then! That was some serious word of mouth!
