Thanks CU Boulder for hosting the National Academy of Engineering last week. I had a great time and enjoyed sharing a vision of the future of Space with AI, Autonomy, and Quantum. (Nice shots Jesse Petersen, University of Colorado) https://t.co/2AyzXK4fn5
While on the far side of the Moon, the orbit of the Orion capsule will just happen to align with the Sun and the Moon, treating the Artemis astronauts to a total eclipse. The Sun's corona will be visible. Should...
More evidence US and Israeli interceptor missiles are running down faster than Iranian offensive weapons US, Israel, & Iran are all dependent on China’s factory base to replenish their missiles. Who gets priority? Logistics > tactics.
Serving as the newly appointed Station Commander at @RoyalAirForce Wittering, Wing Commander Joan Ochuodho is in charge of a base that employs 1,400 personnel and is populated by expert units fulfilling critical flight-training roles.

Literally every stat of the Artemis mission is mind blowing, because WHAT DO YOU MEAN they travel speeds of 28,000km/h. That’s incredible and terrifying #artemis #nasa #moon
.@SpaceX @Starlink tells @FCC it was forced to perform 30 collision-avoidance maneuvers after @Amazonleo's Feb 12 launch w/ @Arianespace because sats were released at 480 km, 50-90 km higher than authorized, and did not warn other operators beforehand.
All things considered the Artemis II mission seems to be going splendidly. Big moment for today comes this afternoon with the go/no go decision to burn Orion’s engines for the Moon.
Batik Air Malaysia has temporarily cut its capacity by 35 per cent until April 12 as part of a short-term capacity management strategy amid fuel price volatility and global economic uncertainty, the airline’s CEO tells me when contacted today. Read...
Macro: LEO consolidation accelerates as Amazon eyes Globalstar (GSAT +12%). Key: Apple’s 20% stake complicates talks; SpaceX competitive pressure. Risk: deal uncertainty, regulatory review. Trade: buy on confirmed deal. — Viktor Kopylov, PhD, CFA More insights: t.me/si14Kopylov
1st of 440 @Eutelsat OneWeb sats built by @AirbusSpace launch this yr on @SpaceX; the balance 2027-31 on @MaiaSpaceOff , debuting 2027. @defis_eu #Iris2 LEO constellation's 264 sats, likely from Airbus & @aerospacelab_ , to be interleaved somehow w/...
This is the power It takes to launch astronauts To the moon and back. #artemisii #haiku #artemisiihaiku #nasa #rocketlaunch
For those that haven't seen the toilet for Orion, it is actually in the floor. Much better than Apollo, that's for damn sure.
Now we know MAG has hedged their jet fuel between US$60-US$80 per barrel for 2026. With the price of jet fuel going up 140% one can only wonder what is happening to airlines that didn’t hedge their jet fuel. Do...
Waiting for the success of the Artemis Mission to plan my 100th birthday on the Moon, and later on planet Mars https://t.co/f0Job9mCYx
#ThrowbackThursdayday. August 26, 2025. Starship 10 from SpaceX Lifts Off from Starbase, Texas. #SpaceTech #History https://t.co/WHuolPwGxd
Over the next week, humans will travel further from Earth than at any point since 1972... 54 years. We spent the intervening time building the internet, smartphones, and AI. The next 50 years up there will be truly wild.
Next major Artemis 2 milestone is a perigee-raise rocket burn carried out at 1130 UTC, near apogee. Resulting orbit will be around 191 x 70133 km.
At government rates, SpaceX could win the contract for a lunar webcast and throw in the rocket for free.
A 17th object has been cataloged associated with the Rassvet-3 launch. Not yet clear which of the 17 objects is the Soyuz upper stage.
Malaysia Airlines operator posts higher earnings in 2025 but Middle East conflict clouds outlook https://t.co/1VCi69LZGv
Orion has made the USS2 burn to raise its perigee. ICPS remains in a 11 x 70358 km orbit; Orion now in a 118 x 70134 km orbit.
Has NASA has put out something similar to this somewhere? I have been looking for some nice animations of the trajectory for ages and haven't come across anything. Really love this sort of thing as it shows scale and the...
Integrity will reach a 70385 km apogee at about 1200 UTC Apr 2, before falling back to perigee where it will make the rocket burn to send it moonward; that burn due at about 2345 UTC Apr...
Integrity is now using the ICPS upper stage as a target to practice stationkeeping and maneuvering, as part of this first crewed test flight of the Orion spaceship.
Few Artemis II Mission Details: Not on Moon: Astronauts will not land on the Moon during the Artemis II mission. I have no idea why some of the media saying that astronauts will step on lunar surface 🤔 Closest Approach: The...
Now that is truly the way to watch the first crew mission to the moon in over 53 years.
LAUNCH at 2235:12 UTC of SLS flight 2 with Artemis 2 from Kennedy Space Center. Artemis 2 has now manuevered to a -2 x 70385 km x 28.3deg orbit
Artemis II crew includes first woman, Black astronaut and Canadian ever flown to moon https://t.co/1vqNCYsJyp
NASA launches four astronauts on world's first crewed lunar mission in half a century https://t.co/Vex2kJzSLV
Thrilling to watch our compatriots leave this Earth on the way to the Moon. Beware space weather our spacefaring friends.
Wild shot from an airplane window during today’s Artemis II launch... that massive white trail climbing high while the plane cruises along. First humans heading around the Moon since the 1970s, and someone caught it mid-flight. Pretty cool reminder of...
Today's Artemis II launch is super bittersweet. For NASA to have a super ambitious human space program they need to cut back their other programs or get more funding. NASA is not getting more funding. We discuss the new Artemis plan in...
They've moved the post-launch briefing up. Now at 8:00 pm ET, in just about 5 minutes. On NASA's YouTube channel: https://t.co/3y6Tm3VF4k
Good: getting some external images from Orion. Bad: the crew is troubleshooting the toilet. https://t.co/uDFwPVKIzC
🚀🌕 🇺🇸 NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration has successfully launched a rocket with 4 astronauts back up to the Moon. Archive of the livestream: https://www.youtube.com/live/Tf_UjBMIzNo?si=7taPgLngqlrhwFBi Godspeed to the humans hurtling into space Bearing “straight into the moonrise” Until they splash...
I love absolutely everything about the Artemis mission 🇺🇸🚀 Everything except not kicking the Canadian off.
We got USAF to comment on RAT55!: Shadowy RAT55 Radar Test Bed 737 Has Begun “The Next Phase Of Its Career” Making a peculiar appearance supporting NASA's Artemis II launch is just the beginning of what comes next for the world's...
The ICPS has completed a planned perigee raise burn. Another burn in about an hour will raise the apogee.
Thoguhts? We discuss the historic announcement of SpaceX's IPO, which could raise 40 to 80 billion dollars and value the company at over 1.75 trillion. We explore how this would make SpaceX one of the top seven most valuable companies...
NASA Apollo 8 spacecraft became the first crewed mission to orbit the Moon. The crew captured this iconic “Earthrise” photo that shows Earth rising over the horizon of the Moon, and is thought to have sparked the environmental movement. (12/24/1968) https://t.co/SEhC4SfiRR
As much attention is now being paid to Iran's drone capabilities, I still think it's lost on most market participants the broader implications of that capability. It's something I dissect in depth in my new report on "Defense Innovation" (https://t.co/rRtYxEUTE9)....
NASA sending astronauts back too the moon AND a widely unpopular war at the same time. Time is a flat circle
MECO: It's 2026 and four humans are beginning their journey to the Moon for the first time in 54 years. https://t.co/PBzuDhungQ
Epic launch of SLS and Orion. So much better in the daytime to observe. Congratulations to NASA and everyone involved. Y’all made us proud.
The SLS rocket lifts off with the Orion spacecraft and a crew of four on a mission to the vicinity of the Moon for the first time since the Apollo-17 expedition in 1972: https://t.co/biWISWldtE https://t.co/3pTosP7Qwk
This is happening T-9 and counting down. It is a gooooooo nasa @youtube @youtubecreators #nasa #goingtothemoom #space #stem #makinghistory
From the final countdown poll minutes before NASA's Artemis II crew launches to the moon: "Artemis 2 crew is go for launch. full send."
Excited to watch the launch of the Artemis II as a space collector. Here are three of my 1 of 1s. 1. Buzz Aldrin’s pass to attend any AL game. 2. Pass to get into the room to fire up Apollo 11. 3....
NASA is extending the hold to give them a little more time to finish some work. So launch will not be when the window opens at 6:24 pm EDT.
NASA has not set a new T-0 but the Artemis II mission will not launch at 6:24 pm ET today. “A little more work” to do.
