This #NASA memo is circulating and was sent out yesterday ordering "all NASA contractors and grantees to cease and desist all DEIA activities required of their contracts or grants."

Farewell to X: I'll keep my free account open but will no longer be posting to this platform. Instead, look for b0yle on Bluesky. I've been covering this guy's activities for more than 20 years but did Nazi this coming ... lemonde.fr/en/internation…

I'm deactivating this service due to moral concerns. The platform’s current direction aligns with ideologies I oppose such as fascism. Complicity benefits oppressors and bullies. I’ll continue supporting spaces of respect and progress. Fuck Nazis.

Phew, had to run out for a few minutes to pick up some peanuts. You don't want an exploration launch with no peanuts. Bad luck! And, given we've pushed/tested for these comms to be launched to moon and Mars for the last 27 years, not going to risk it! #IM2 #LunarComms #LTE #3GPP

Today is the day surface wireless technology we have been working on at Simon Fraser University since late 90s, including field work invan SP-scale Canadian crater with Pascal Lee, reaches the lunar surface

Looking potentially really sad for IM-2

IM-2 mission ended. Was well into shadow, which is the usual problem with the #lunar SP region, although Mons Mouton is an easier part of the SP. So unfortunately less data for our work than could have been obtained

Our Lunar Voyage 1 MAPP rover successfully made it to the Moon, collected data from the lunar surface and in transit, and proved MAPP was ready to drive!

This would be beyond catastrophic for Earth and planetary science if these cuts happen.

Important update: In the coming weeks, NASA's Exploration Ground Systems X account will be archived. To consolidate our social media presence, we will soon post updates about building, launching, and recovering Artemis missions via NASA's Kennedy Space Center and NASA Artemis.

Looks like NASA is leaving X

And another. I hope when they’re done cancelling so many of their X accounts that they post a single list of what’s left.

ANOMALY! Just before Ship 36 was set to Static Fire, it blew up at SpaceX Masseys! Live on X and YT: youtube.com/watch?v=WKwWcl…

Ship 36 experiences a RUD at Massey's during testing prior to Starship Flight 10. Seen in slow motion. Continue to watch live: youtube.com/watch?v=WKwWcl… 📸: NSF - NASASpaceflight.com

An extra-slowed down and cropped view Ship 36's RUD tonight. 📺: youtube.com/watch?v=WKwWcl… 📸: NSF - NASASpaceflight.com

🚨BREAKING: Here’s some initial footage of the SpaceX Massey’s test site after the Ship 36 anomaly. As expected, the test stand seems to be heavily damaged. Repairs will likely take some time. Huge thanks to RaptorRoost for going out there so quick for us! ❤️
