This is a pretty bizarre takeaway from today given a decision was made by NASA in the name of caution Much more sensible to argue this choice was made *because* of lessons learned from Columbia and Challenger

Intel HW is too complex to be absolutely secure! After years of research we finally extracted Intel SGX Fuse Key0, AKA Root Provisioning Key. Together with FK1 or Root Sealing Key (also compromised), it represents Root of Trust for SGX. Here's the key from a genuine Intel CPU😀

Translation: New, potentially very very serious security vulnerability discovered in Intel CPUs.

Hello, mate. We recently completed our final major mate operation on #NewGlenn’s 188-foot first stage, merging the aft with the mid module.

Due to unfavorable weather forecasted in Dragon’s splashdown areas off the coast of Florida, we are now standing down from tonight and tomorrow’s Falcon 9 launch opportunities of Polaris Dawn. Teams will continue to monitor weather for favorable launch and return conditions

Exciting Day. First time since 11.16.22 I've been able to listen to my launch day playlist and get *excited*

SpaceX has been fined $3,750 for the unauthorized discharge of industrial wastewater into Texas wetlands. They didn’t get the necessary approval when they redesigned the launchpad last year for the deluge system. Obviously the fine is so low it likely didn’t cover the cost of

Terminal Count Sim #8!

FYI

To provide some context so people don’t just assume it’s NASA preferring the male astronauts: Per seat exchange agreements, a cosmonaut is required to fly. Also, each astronaut has science/EVA tasks assigned and they receive special training for them. So that plays a role too.

Give this guy some space! A large Antonov An-124-100 took off from our LLF today after delivering the European Space Agency's Hera asteroid rendezvous spacecraft. Next month, it will launch on a Falcon 9! The LLF runway continues to play a vital role in driving aerospace commerce forward.

One year ago, Crew 6 mde a gorgeous return to earth after a 6 month stay at the International Space Station. Watching four humans race across the Florida sky in their spacecraft was nothing short of incredible!

🚨Slingshot Orbital Alert 🚨 Slingshot Aerospace has detected what appears to be a breakup of the ATLAS 5 CENTAUR Rocket Body in a highly elliptical orbit (HEO). This rocket delivered GOES 17 into orbit on March 1st, 2018.

The Artemis II Launch Vechicle Stage Adaper - known as the LVSA interfaces between SLS and ICPS/Orion. Pre-dawn work this morning by NASA's Exploration Ground Systems teams prior to offload from the Pegasus Barge and transport into the Vehicle Assembly Building. #ArtemisII #WeAreGoing

Operation complete ✅   Teams finished transporting the NASA_SLS launch vehicle stage adapter for NASA Artemis II to High Bay 4 of the Vehicle Assembly Building at NASA's Kennedy Space Center.   Our teams completed three move operations in two days, transporting #Artemis III and IV hardware

"So then, in 2024, we want to try to fly four ships [to Mars]… two cargo and two crew." – Elon Musk at IAC seven years ago. youtube.com/live/S5V7R_se1… I can also think of about 2.9 billion reasons why SpaceX will be focused on the Moon, not Mars, in 2026.

Bringing extraterrestrial materials back to Earth for study is not a common event! 20 years ago today, the Genesis mission brought back solar wind samples from beyond Earth orbit. Sadly, the return capsule's parachute failed and the spacecraft crashed in the Utah desert. 1/2

Well Said Christiano.

Polaris rises at Dawn.
