What a phenomenal launch. Gorgeous views, booster successfully landed for the first time, and EscaPADE safely deployed! Once the GS1 is fully secured, it will take LPV1 "Jacklyn" about 4 days to return to Port. Meanwhile EscaPADE will head to L2, which will take a couple of weeks.

Remote cameras are being set up ahead of the second New Glenn launch, which is carrying ESCAPADE, a mission to study Mars’ magnetosphere. The 146-minute launch window opens tomorrow at 2:45 p.m. ET, and the weather is currently 60% GO for launch.

Twin spacecraft are set to take off on an unprecedented, winding journey to Mars, where they will investigate why the barren red planet began to lose its atmosphere billions of years ago.

Fun to think about but unlikely. Possible an advanced Stone Age or Bronze Age society existed much earlier than we think, but anything protoindustrial or later would have left very obvious traces

Does anyone have recommendations for FDM printers that don’t send my designs through the Chinese cloud? Love my bambu but I can’t print some things on it.

A realistic orbital bombardment scene: a free electron laser tuned to cyan is used to get through the atmosphere, and the beam is invisible, except where it creates a glowing plasma channel in thicker air.

Establishment figures want to downplay progressive candidates, even though we're the ones providing real solutions.

If we want to move forward as a country, we need to prioritize people over big money and corporations. That's what I'm trying to do:
