We did it. Let’s build the lander for the next trip in house. No Bezos. No Musk. Like if you agree.
What a day. Congrats to team America. No corporate or capitalist influence, just 8 million lbs of thrust.

We can do this. With the humans as a collective in charge of space, we can do this. Don’t let the Empire get away with it.
We need to consolidate the minds. Please help us build.
Science Magazine@science.org · last yr.Exclusive: National Science Foundation staff were told today that the agency’s 37 divisions—across all eight directorates—are being abolished and the number of programs within those divisions will be drastically reduced.
SpaceX aborted the planned launch of the Starlink 12-15 mission about 2.5 minutes before the planned liftoff. A reason for the scrub wasn't immediately given.
As you’ll recall USSF is a Trump-era concoction. This reveal is not coincidental; it’s a demonstration of force protection for the exponentially growing Starlink network.

So great that @altnasa.bsky.social has created an OSF repository space via @cos.io! Let's spread the word so folks know where they can safely put NASA related data! #SciSky #AcademicChatter #ScholComm #Academia #DefendResearch

Of course Isaacman supports firm fixed price contracts. They’ll be 3x what the cost should be and have zero accountability until mission completion. What’s taking this nomination so long to be approved anyway? www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

Musk’s entire empire has literally been built on US taxpayer money. Now he’s getting control of public land. (And wtf with the Thanos-looking statue?) www.kut.org/politics/202...
Elon Musk wants control of a public beach. The state of Texas is preparing to give it to him.
Elon Musk is asking the state to give him the power to close Boca Chica Beach on SpaceX’s schedule just as rocket launches there may spike. Local leaders and environmentalists stand in opposition.
