I just want to explore... why must this man make everything worse for everyone

Did anyone happen to see a launch timeline for the Spectrum rocket from before launch? SECO felt very early based on similarly sized rockets.
Very random personal thought here but can I just say the current Roller Coaster War is absolutely incredible? Like don't get me wrong the era of building faster, bigger, and taller coasters was cool and we got some great rides, but my god has the recent wave of creative new rides been amazing
It was a beautiful morning for the launch of the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope as it lifted off aboard a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket from Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Reporting for Supercluster
The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope begins its journey to space, lifting off from Historic Launch Complex 39B.
The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope soars through the morning clouds on its way to space.
Liftoff of the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope! NASA’s next great observatory is on it’s way to showing us the stars
There are a lot of things that easily disprove any kind of "Space Travel Is A Conspiracy" argument. However a very underrated one is that engineers are TERRIBLE at keeping secrets.
There’s a lot of things that I’d like to bring home with me from Europe Honestly though the top of the list is Voltron from EuropaPark because letting Mack Rides just keep building whatever they want is seemingly a valid strategy.
*briefly checks US news* *returns to not thinking about it and enjoying a coffee outside a shop in Amsterdam*
Listening to Rasputin while sitting next to a racetrack in the dunes of the North Sea is an absolutely immaculate vibe
Officially have now been to 10 countries with my day trip today in Liechtenstein!
Wow. Just wow. Today’s Eclipse was absolutely stunning. I remember how incredible 2017 had been, but this was another level.
Things I have learned today. 1. Madrid is cool 2. Spain knows how to drink holy hell
Any aerospace/medical person that has used NASA’s OSDR that we may pick your brain (pun intended!) for a high schooler I’m mentoring. Please message me or recommend a person! 🧠
I’ve always been a bit unlucky when flying out if Florida to never get a good view of Kennedy Space Center… until today that is
The difference in how cheating is viewed in motorsports vs other sports is hilarious. Steal signs in Baseball? You’re an absolute heathen. Find a way to sneak more fuel into your engine between measurement cycles? Absolutely legendary.
I’ve worked with commercial spaceflight companies a few times now. This an insanely bad idea. Launch on a fundamental level is an incredibly violent affair, and a LOT of work has gone into making it coexist well with nature at Cape Canaveral.
SpaceNews @spacenewsinc.bsky.social · last mo.Proposed rule would exempt commercial launch licensing from environmental regulations The Department of Transportation is proposing to exempt commercial space launch licensing from many environmental regulations, a move praised by industry but criticized by environmental groups....
I got tickets to the Dutch Grand Prix
Derek Newsome@derek.space · last mo.Should I be insane and go to the Dutch Grand Prix...
You know when sometimes a friend makes a suggestion for something that is just so damn good that you cant believe you missed it? Yeah thats going on right now and its gonna be awesome
Genuinely it is such a shame that this hasnt been green lit. This was such a fun movie and the post theatrical popularity of it would make a sequel a slam dunk IMO
IGN@ign.com · last mo.Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves co-director Jonathan Goldstein says the script for a sequel already exists, but he's not expecting it to see the light of day any time soon. https://bit.ly/4bIsrNA #SDCC
There's another insane shot in this thread of this incident, but this one might be my favorite because you can actually see the lightning starting to form around the rocket. It's straight out of a movie. That's insane
