We see our home planet as a whole, lit up in spectacular blues and browns. A green aurora even lights up the atmosphere. That's us, together, watching as our astronauts make their journey to the Moon.

A reminder that people who talk about how Starship has (by choice) not reached orbit yet while ignoring it is harder to reach orbital velocity and then soft land (which it has done) are people who are not trying to have a sincere discussion.

From Martin Iles, reposted: Having lived in the USA for nearly two years, I've realised something. The USA and the remainder of the Western world are no longer aligned. We all laugh and mock when the Americans say, "Freedom!" because we truly think we're as free as they are.

“The Americans have actually built an entire military base overnight on this random mountain while looking for a guy (he's fine btw).”

Remains of the USAF M/HC-130 Hercules transport aircraft destroyed by US forces before departing their forward base in Iran, used successfully to recover the downed F-15 aircrew. The aircraft had reportedly become stuck in the soft ground and were blown up to avoid capture.

One of my favorite gaslights.

IDIOTS: “You would do all of this for a single pilot?” US: “Since you had to ask, you’ll never know what I means to be an American”

NATO is in far bigger danger than anyone realizes. And the reason has nothing to do with defense budgets. The real danger is psychological. It’s cultural. Europeans didn’t just free-ride on American security for 80 years. They built an entire identity around the idea that they

They see this as a jobs program, not a HSR project. And that's the issue. The government creates incentives to create jobs, so that's what they do. Exactly like SLS.

The point of Article 5 is to coordinate a collective response to a threat facing ALL member states… not just the state that invokes it. The threat was Islamic extremism. We didn’t invoke Article 5 to protect the U.S. alone. We invoked it to defend all NATO territory. Yes,

Imagine being a military service member of any European country and watching your leaders just chuckle and shake their heads at the “stupidity” of the Americans that they would blow up planes to save one of their soldiers Must be really good for morale

Engagement bait or just delusional?

As part of our commitment to advancing responsive space missions across the globe, Firefly is working with Seagate Space to explore sea-based launch capabilities for Alpha that open access to new orbits and inclinations. Read more here: seagatespace.com/apr-6-2026-fir…

Hello, Moon. It’s great to be back. Here’s a taste of what the Artemis II astronauts photographed during their flight around the Moon. Check out more photos from the mission: nasa.gov/artemis-ii-mul…

It seems to me this is basically a textbook war. You can argue whether you wanted it or not, but it's irrelevant. We did it, and we're absolutely dominating.

And you just know this is a person who seethed and was delusional about Trump wanting to buy Greenland.

No an infrared camera is not passive radar.

USA! USA! USA! Canada!

Would be funny to see the respondees try to quantify their answers.

Eric Berger I am hesitant to get ahead of a proper data review, but I understand the space community’s curiosity, especially when imagery can give the impression of a problem. As you would expect, engineers were eager to inspect the heat shield, starting with diver imagery shortly after
