Fast fill resumed!! David Willis

Latest update from NASA in regards to the leaky core stage of SLS during today's WDR. The use of the word "attempt" this often is a little concerning, but they have a pretty big window to work issues out, hopefully they're able to successfully conclude today's test! 🤞

I love that we're betting our entire civilization's future on AGI being achievable with LLMs. Oh wait, no, I don't love that at all.

Incredible

Artemis II WDR scrubbed. Hydrogen leak during terminal count. NASA "The Artemis II wet dress rehearsal countdown was terminated at the T-5:15 minute mark due to a liquid hydrogen leak at the interface of the tail service mast umbilical, which had experienced high concentrations

With the conclusion of the wet dress rehearsal today, we are moving off the February launch window and targeting March for the earliest possible launch of Artemis II. With more than three years between SLS launches, we fully anticipated encountering challenges. That is precisely

seems like the (very) ancient Greeks truly invented everything after all

What happens to all the space companies banking on Starship being available for 3rd party launches? Surely now the best use for SpaceX if they're not being sent to Mars will to be to either launch Starlinks, AI satellites or stuff for their moon factory - maybe they keep it all

17/ Blackwell-Thompson says they'd hoped to get through the terminal count, show they can hold the count during the final 10 minutes and then recycle and go through another terminal count. She says those will be attempted during the next WDR.

This marks not just the next chapter, but the next book in Money Stuff's mission: scaling to make a sentient newsletter to understand the Universe and extend the light of consciousness to the stars! bloomberg.com/opinion/newsle…

SpaceX has put off a mission to Mars planned for this year, shifting its focus to a long-promised lunar voyage for NASA. on.wsj.com/4azs6MV

Welcome, fellow Lunatic! 🌕 Glad to see First Principles finally pointed your trajectory at the Moon —after 15 years of debating! Since @LCROSS_NASA found water there in '09, it was Case Closed: 📍 2-day commute vs 200 🚀 Daily windows vs every 780 days 🛰️ No pesky unbreathable

this image should be nailed to the wall in every American spaceflight organizations break room. 8 years from dev beginning to this. some have more to answer for than others

My wife calls me, panicked. The call is from her number, and her voice is unmistakable- that’s my wife. ‘Babe, our son is hurt. He got in a bike wreck. I’m at the emergency room but they won’t take our insurance and I need cash to get him help. Please send me 3000 dollars as

Interesting to see how support to 🇺🇦 has developed during the past few years. It’s Europe that is the support of the independence and sovereignty of 🇺🇦. The 🇺🇸 has left the scene.

Endurance, our MK1 lunar lander, has entered Chamber A for approximately 11 days of TVAC testing to simulate the extreme thermal and vacuum conditions it will experience in space and on the lunar surface. Thanks to the team NASA's Johnson Space Center for the collaboration as we reach this

Yikes. NASA couldn’t even complete a test of the SLS rocket’s ground system seal for liquid hydrogen because something else broke with the ground systems. And they wait until 8 pm ET Friday to send an update on something they knew last night. nasa.gov/blogs/missions…
