starting to think we should give "strange women lying in ponds distributing swords" a chance as a basis for our system of government

Maybe we can time up the launch with the movie release date πŸ˜‚ It'd be fun to watch a rocket and movie in the same day!

The other move is just to collect more library cards to cut down on Libby wait times! With a CA ID, you can get a card at basically any library system in the state. Collecting them is my new favorite game πŸ˜‚ #GottaCatchEmAll

Had to turn off the Home Run Derby because the announcers don't know the difference between a decimal point and the Dewey Decimal System

Oh true! SPARCS for example (not a Pioneers mission) is totally built and just waiting for a ride to space. Pandora (undergoing testing) is supposed to launch on the same rocket as SPARCS this fall

That’s because they’ve already received the full funding amount they were awarded. I’m worried that people will see this graphic and say β€œoh if astronomers think these missions are already cancelled, what’s the point in renewing them for extended missions?”

01.06.2025 14:36 β€” πŸ‘ 6    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

This graphic is incorrect!! Many of the X’ed out missions have not been cancelled

The Pioneers and some of the other smallsats that have already been selected are not being cancelled!

"This budget reduces funding for the Astrophysics Pioneers program. This budget will support the project
at reduced scope and capacity."

Which I realize does not agree with the line that says $0 πŸ™„

30.05.2025 23:09 β€” πŸ‘ 4    πŸ” 1    πŸ’¬ 2    πŸ“Œ 0

I think it is continued funding for all already selected missions, no new selections will be made
