Tell me you don’t know why we sent not one, but two voyager probes throughout our solar system without telling me you don’t know why we sent not one, but two voyager probes throughout our solar system.

I love all the people responding to this tweet by literally responding 'It wasn't stupid! It was just insanely pointless! There's no one out there!' If there's no one out there, why send a message? If there is someone out there, why tell them that we are deeply stupid?

Trying to watch Starship flight 142 in the year 2059 (They are still trying to catch the ship) and it genuinley explodes on the pad but your 40 second lunch break at your unpaid OpenAI "job" is over so you kinda just gotta forget about it

A sentence so beautiful that I actually cried tears of joy.
BREAKING: Employers worldwide are pulling back on AI as they navigate a flood of errors and low-quality work that sap employee time, raise privacy and security risks, and drive up costs, per the Guardian.

It happened again
🚨 In response 🚨 China has published pictures taken on their spysats of the ISS and of a Maxar satellite, a similar one to the satellite that shot pictures of the Chinese secret spaceplane.

I still don’t wanna get my hopes up too much, but it is looking extremely possible now that I go to Starbase for flight 15.

Ship 42 static fires complete. The Starship preparing for Flight 15 performed a full duration, six-engine static fire, and fired a single Raptor engine to simulate a deorbit burn

I haven’t had a break from college work in a week. My ADD meds are out. I missed my first class yesterday because I didn’t get enough rest and I missed my alarm.

First starship flight to use raptor 4
Replying to @XFreeze
Raptor 4 will be 300 tons of thrust at sea level and hopefully about the same mass

An unstoppable air leak on the ISS' Zvezda module forces permanent closure of its compartment, in turn requiring redocking of all future Russian cargo ships between two ports for cargo delivery and orbit corrections. DETAILS: russianspaceweb.com/2026.htm…

Here is a starbase recap featuring footage our live cameras caught in the past few days. Let's start off, of course, with today's Booster 22 static fire at the Launch Site. More clips in the replies ⬇️

I have so many questions about this image and I’d like to know everyone’s thoughts about it. Why is there an office inside the prop transfer demo starship? Why does it have ventilation? Could ‘prop transfer demo’ not necessarily mean a tanker starship? If this is a crewed variant of starship, is it based off of HLS? What part of the upper ship is this in? If this is to be a prop transfer demo ship that actually flies, is it possible that it is the uncrewed HLS demo?

Axiom personally giving me the perfect 360 rotating suit model to help make my replica in the future just because I asked a really long time ago
.@NASA and @Axiom_Space are advancing both the #AxEMU as well as a tailored configuration called the Sortie suit for moonwalkers to use during the early @NASAArtemis missions. The Sortie suit doesn’t replace the AxEMU but is a parallel effort to ensure flexibility in mission architecture. The Sortie configuration spacesuit is designed for short-duration lunar surface excursions.
