When "everything" fell apart in my last week before NYCC, the engineering mindset saved the day. Staying objective during a crisis is the only way to solve problems that feel completely out of your control. #ProblemSolving #EngineeringMindset

True community isn't just about support—it's about building together. By community members adding their names to this cosplay project, the build became a "our" achievement. It is a powerful reminder of what happens when you bet on yourself and others. #Community #NYCC #Cosplay

Engineering is rarely just about the code. External factors are often out of your control, making adaptability the most valuable skill you can possess. Innovation happens when you stop fighting the circumstances and start finding creative solutions. #Engineering #NYCC #Cosplay

Starship has officially achieved orbital insertion! A massive milestone for the teams, years in the making. The journey continues with Orbital Refueling, but this is a monumental step. #Starship #SpaceX #Milestone

The countdown is over! Starship Flight 14 Liftoff was right on time inside the launch window. Starship has finally gone to orbit and deployed starlinks into orbit! #RocketLaunch #SpaceExploration #todayinspace #starship #spacex

The US Space Force observed Chinese satellites performing orbital 'dogfights' in 2024. This space combat isn't about fighter jets, but about objects maneuvering in sync. #SpaceForce #OrbitalCombat #China

Our global reliance on space is skyrocketing. Weather, communication, navigation, and even national security depend on orbit. Space holds the key to solving global problems and answering questions we haven't even asked yet. #Space #Innovation #Future

The first meeting of the Presidential commission to establish the nation's first US Space Academy happened last week. Learn more about the First Academy, when to expect the groundbreaking, first students, and when it will be in full operation. #SpaceAcademy #NASA

NASA might be forced to cut funding for the New Horizons spacecraft, which gave us those AMAZING images of Pluto and is now gathering data on our Sun. This nuclear-powered spacecraft still has plenty of science to do - CALL YOUR CONGRESS PEOPLE! #Space #NewHorizons #Science

After nearly 20 years, the Swift Observatory's orbit is in decay. A commercial mission to boost it failed, but Swift has restarted science operations, making the most of the time it has left in space. #SpaceScience #Astronomy #TodayInSpace #NASA

Liftoff! Falcon Heavy launched NASA's Roman Space Telescope - currently on a million mile journey to L2 to start a mission to revolutionize our understanding of the universe. #SpaceLaunch #RomanSpaceTelescope

Witnessing the Artemis mission live was unbelievable! The sheer excitement from the science team was electric. It's moments like these that underscore the critical need for lunar research as we prepare for a permanent presence on the Moon. #Artemis #MoonJoy #SpaceExploration

The anticipation of the launch was unbelievable! Rushing home to see it lift off, getting suited up with that game face on, and the historic walkout – it all felt surreal. Knowing we're on a trajectory to the moon makes it even more mind-blowing. #SpaceExploration #LaunchDay #Artemis2

Liftoff for SpaceX's Starship Flight 13!This colossal rocket, capable of carrying 100 people to Mars or the Moon, is developing nicely. #SpaceX #Starship #Mars #Moon #SpaceExploration #RocketLaunch

Artemis II's liftoff surprisingly had low public engagement at launch, highlighting a need for more public outreach and communication. But just 5 days later, it was all anyone talked about. That's the power of building momentum and engaging the public! #ArtemisII #SpaceExploration #NASA

Public interest in the space race didn't just decline; it coincided with major Earth-bound issues like the civil rights movement and widespread poverty. These societal challenges fueled debate about prioritizing earthly needs before venturing into space. #SpaceRace #SocialContext

The Starship launch for Flight 13 was incredible! Vehicle pitched down range, and all 33 Raptor engines lit on the Super Heavy booster. Ascent trajectory looked perfect, arcing away from Starbase at an brisk speed off the pad. #SpaceX #Starship

Starship's incredible journey continues after Flight 13. With a PERFECT soft ocean touchdown the full Starship is in tact! Drones are capturing surreal views of the intact ship, engines, & heat shield floating in the ocean via Starlink, offering critical data for future flights. A huge success! #Starship #SpaceX #Innovation #todayinspace

Nothing like adding more cameras to a space mission! Never seen Starship from orbit like this - great way to view heat shield tiles before reentry #Starship #SpaceX #RocketScience

Starship landing was epic for Flight 12 Despite the explosion (which would have happened if everything went perfect) the view is undeniably 'wow'. A massive moment. #SpaceX #Starship
