Though media have been quick to point out #Intelsat33E was built by Boeing, even in their headlines, there is not yet enough info (in public) to conclude whether the satellite failed or was struck by a meteoroid/asteroid. #space

Asteroids pass near Earth every day, not all detected. For example, today asteroid 2024 UT was discovered and named after it had already made its nearest pass just above the altitude of the geosynchronous satellite belt. #Intelsat33E #space

OK. What-if. What if I could raise the money or in some manner make myself CEO of the new Boeing Space? Does it come with 50% of ULA or does that stay with the airplane company? If I'm doing it, I want ULA and I want control. It is a necessary part of the package. 1/n

Combining the power of Hubble and #NASAWebb, astronomers revisited the giant โ€œpancakeโ€ of dust encircling the hot young star Vega. Surprisingly, the disk is very smooth, without evidence of large, forming planets: bit.ly/4htEAqR

Eclipse of the Sun. By the moon Phobos. From the surface of Mars. Captured by the ARCHIVED - NASA's Perseverance Mars Rover rover on September 30. I'm still amazed that we can see such things. youtube.com/watch?v=iCSLW_โ€ฆ

Trivia: Texas is among the states that require an excuse to vote by mail. But since all #NASA astronauts live in Houston, they have an automatic excuse granted to astronauts in orbit. (PD image from Wikipedia) #space #Election2024
