25 yrs since 🇦🇺 entered Afghanistan. I want to acknowledge all the Aussies who served there, the families that supported them. The 41 Aussies who died serving their country & those that have paid an ongoing price since returning home.
As a nation we must never forget their sacrifice & the hard lessons learnt.

New Zealand intelligence agencies are now speaking ***much*** more bluntly about the PRC. Latest threat report gives a little bit of detail on an attempt by Purple Mountain observatory (a major Chinese institution) to covertly install ground based space infrastructure in NZ

You can’t be a good economic manager in 2026 without being a climate realist.
APRA’s modelling is clear: climate inaction means household incomes up to 20% lower, persistent inflation & higher interest rates.
Ignore climate and you’ll pay for it. 🔥 theaustralian.com.au/nation/…

Weather is currently 80% favorable for the Artemis 2 launch, and guess what?
It's only 3 days until we send people back to the moon for the first time in 50+ years!

NASA is leading the greatest adventure in human history, and it has only just begun.
On Tuesday, we’ll share our plans for the future of NASA across many of our programs.
We’ll see you tomorrow morning for Ignition.

New Zealand designed rocket, launching Australian payload.
I honestly hadn’t appreciated how much work Australian researchers have done on scramjets, i was working on a video and a lot of the great university level courses are from Australia.
Today's HASTE hypersonic launch is an experimental mission that's a bit different to the usual Electron launches. Here's how.
1. Electron typically reaches final staging ~9 minutes after liftoff. Today? HASTE will complete its mission in <3 minutes.
2. No 2nd stage engine burn or battery hot-swap on this launch. Instead MECO, fairing sep, and payload deployment are all expected to take place within seconds and these events mark the end of Rocket Lab's role in the mission - from here its over to DART to carry out its mission objectives for @DIU_x and @HypersonixAU.

Fly me to the Moon 🎵🌝
RESILIENCE status: nominal
Distance above the Lunar surface: ca. 100 km
Current orbital phase: Low lunar orbit, traveling at ca. 5,800 km/h
RESILIENCE remains in a circular orbit as landing day approaches. This video was captured from lunar orbit by the camera mounted on top of the lander, giving us a peek at the landing legs and the cover that protects the TENACIOUS micro rover as they soar over the Moon's surface.
Join us to watch the landing live!
📡 Live stream begins here on X (tentative): June 6, 03:10 JST | June 5, 18:10 UTC | June 5, 14:10 EDT
🕖 Landing (UPDATED!): June 6, 04:17 JST | June 5, 19:17 UTC | June 5, 15:17 EDT

If God did not intend man to accomplish the great, he would not have created the dream.

10 days left in our lunar roadtrip and Blue Ghost has traveled 2.2 million miles so far and downlinked 18.7 GB of data! Our #GhostRiders have already accomplished so many milestones, but there are still more to come. Catch our week 5 update on what's next as we prepare to land on the Moon on March 2. #BGM1

Mission 2 Milestone Success 5 ✅🌓
The RESILIENCE lunar lander successfully completed a flyby of the Moon on Feb. 15, 2025, coming within approximately 8,400 km of the lunar surface--a historic first of its type for a Japanese private, commercial lunar lander.
This spectacular image of our celestial neighbor was taken by RESILIENCE on Feb. 15, 2025 at an altitude of 14,439 km.
RESILIENCE is now on a trajectory out to deep space before completing orbital maneuvers that will bring it back towards the Moon in advance of lunar orbit insertion, expected around early May.
