I wish I could tell you it was me flying in with the F-5. That is one of my buddies positioning the jet. Unfortunately, I am going to have to watch from @NASA HQ. Too much work to do to make it to Starbase today.

Ummm why the heck are they flying again to the moon? What is the scientific reason for that?
Oh... wait, could it be that China wants to put a person in the moon soon?

It's to power the lander Lockheed Martin and Boeing are going to take only 2 years to build.

Yes you can, and should. I run my business with budgets and costs front of mind, the government needs to do the same. Eric needs to realize that just because it's "space" doesn't mean they get unlimited tax dollars.

It was such an honor to help design this “Snap” coin that flew alongside four crew coins on the Polaris Dawn mission and an even greater honor to see it fly to space. Thank you to our artist friend Erin Bonilla for beautifully turning this idea into reality.
I was so blown away when the crew graciously offered this opportunity - thank you - I can’t wait to put the flown coin on display and will cherish it forever.
Some insight on the design: The seven stars represent the seven astronauts I have been lucky to befriend from Inspiration4 to Polaris Dawn: Jared, Sian, Hayley, Chris, Kidd, Sarah, and Anna. My silhouette is seen capturing a Falcon 9 rising in front of sunrise, based off one of my all-time favorite photos, but with the fairing swapped out for a Dragon. Other elements include palm trees and birds representing my appreciation for the local Florida nature around the Cape.
In the video you can see the flown coin floating in space. Earlier in the mission it reached new heights in Earth orbit during a crewed mission and then was exposed to the vacuum of space during the mission’s spacewalk. The still image is another unit, not flown, captured a few months ago when I saw the coin in-person for the first time. I have kept it on my person for much of the last few months as a good luck token and reminder of the exciting space program whose stories I am lucky to help share. I had it with me all throughout launch day and on the VAB roof during liftoff, knowing that a copy - and a small part of me - was joining the crew in space.
Many were made, and one each for the four crew and myself flew - but each coin has a small magnetic insert that pops out. Hundreds of those smaller inserts flew, and we will be able to pop in those small flown parts into the non-flown coins, such that hundreds of coins will have a part that flew.
Thanks @rookisaacman for the video! So cool - forever grateful.

I've been envying you for a while and now I have one more thing to envy. Damn, that's cool.

NASA's ESCAPADE website now lists a launch window of Oct. 13 to 21 for the mission.
Fun story: I contacted NASA last week about the window, and was told only Blue Origin could provide that info. (Blue never got back to me when I asked them.) Strange…

Indeed. But when talking about the "Bridenstack" some people are quick to point out how impossible it is and one reason brought forth is the need to provide hydrogen to fuel ICPS

That's not a slight correction. There's huge difference - the whole thrust of wording is that Musk took the drastic step of banning the acct for unlabeled parody & it's actually not being banned for parody. In fairness (fairness is the point here, right?) the Tweet 1/2
Replying to @SpaceInMiBrain @waxpancake
Ur correction is only seen by those who find it among the replies, won't be seen by the 1K+ & growing who will just read the large original tweet. Btw, I wish Musk had never heard of Twitter & never bought it. And now he has, should've formed ethics board & THEN changes. 3/2+
What brainiac at MLB sold TBS the rights to broadcast back-to-back playoff games? *Playoff games?* Nobody at MLB or TBS ever heard of extra innings?
When I read an email from my siblings I start to click a thumbs up - and realize there isn't one. Am I spending too much time on Twitter, YT, and reddit?
Think nighttime, finding with radio: If when using the highway cruise control on my *25 year old* Buick I rear-ended a car broken down in my lane, would I be liable? Hell yes! No question, so the LA Times headline is just more abusive click-bait, playing the fear-Tesla card.
