Where is @NASA_Orion now? You can track the spacecraft in real time using AROW, the #Artemis Real-Time Orbit Website. Take it for a spin: nasa.gov/trackartemis

Space-grown tomatoes, solar panels you can roll out like a rug, and a new type of orbiting medical kit—these are just a few of the many @ISS_Research tests we're sending to the @Space_Station on next week's @SpaceX #CRS26 resupply mission: go.nasa.gov/3DTpSGI
#NASA


We're now targeting no earlier than 3:54pm ET (2054 UTC) on Tuesday, Nov. 22 for the launch of NASA's @SpaceX #CRS26 resupply mission, with docking scheduled for 5:57am (1057 UTC) Wednesday, Nov. 23. Follow blogs.nasa.gov for the latest mission updates.

I asked Illinois DOC for their banned books list and they REFUSED. Originally I got a copy 9 mths ago - & now I wanted an update to check for changes

But they said it was "unduly burdensome" of me to ask again.

Being a prison official must be WILD. Like, CAN YOU IMAGINE just saying fuck you no I'm not doing my job because I did it once, 9 months ago?

This year, John Ramirez was executed because a judge in Corpus Christi said he didn't have authority to grant the DA's request to call off the execution.

Today Rep. Joe Moody filed a bill that ensuring this doesn't happen again, by making a law that judges HAVE to cancel an execution if the DA asks

This week at NASA: Our @NASAArtemis flight test launches to the Moon, and two astronauts complete their first spacewalk. For more space and aeronautics in your life, subscribe: nasa.gov/subscribe


Meanwhile back on Earth, the #MarsRoverTour rolls on! Twins of myself and the Ingenuity #MarsHelicopter have landed in #Albuquerque, New Mexico. Meet @nasa team members at the exhibit’s grand opening, this weekend at @NMMNHS. #PerseveranceRover


LIVE NOW: Following the successful launch of #Artemis I on Nov. 16, NASA leaders are previewing @NASA_Orion’s entry into the Moon’s "sphere of influence"—the area where the Moon is the dominant gravitational body. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1BdxY…


"Assembly", a new immersive and interactive art installation considering why we collect what we collect.

Opening tomorrow, just finished the code with about 15 hours to spare after two very busy weeks, and I am ready to keel over.

For this I built an Ad-hoc wireless network using an old router and some Raspberry Pi 3s. That was fun, if maybe a little overkill.

One sensor controls four nodes, changing videos made in response to stories that I collected, and simultaneously generating some great muddled text from a model trained on 100-year-old newspapers.

This tomatoes aren't tomatoes any longer - they are spaceatoes from now on! 😉

in reply to Troy Patterson

Also do you think this is a little misleading I understand that's it's the title of an article but posted like this makes it seem like you (Fabio) are the fomer head and are sharing something you wrote... I dunno maybe I'm being over sensitive about click-bait but this toot made me hesitant when I looked at your bio and it didn't mention any credentials that suggested that you could be the former head. Made sense when I clicked through though.

@danwchan @troypatterson this is how a link from the NYT app appears here when you share it on Mastodon app via the share button. Maybe that's why other platform shows a the preview instead.


This week on #SpaceToGround, two spacewalks, an upcoming Dragon mission bringing new science and supplies to the station, and the #Artemis I mission launches on its journey to the Moon. #ISS


NASA has removed its Janus asteroid mission from the #MissionToPsyche’s 2023 launch manifest after an assessment determined that Janus would not be on the required trajectory to meet its science requirements as a result of Psyche’s new launch period. More: go.nasa.gov/3hWY50Z #NASASolarSystem


LIVE: Listen as experts discuss the upcoming @SpaceX #CRS26 cargo resupply mission, which will carry solar arrays and materials for @ISS_Research crop production experiments to the @Space_Station. youtu.be/VZDzJ_G0OlM


The #Artemis I mission is on its way to the Moon — and you have a front-row seat. No, really. @Snapchat just released the Orion 360 Lens, which gives you a 360-degree look inside the @NASA_Orion spacecraft: lens.snapchat.com/d5f64103747c…

Hi! To round up the WW1 game series, I'm going to play some Tannenberg over at cast.samsai.eu/ in about 15 minutes. After that we'll move onto some more Spiritfarer. See you in the chat!


On Monday, Nov. 21, the #Artemis I @NASA_Orion spacecraft will do a powered flyby of the Moon to set itself on a distant retrograde orbit. We’re previewing the milestone today at 5pm ET (20:00 UTC) during a media briefing. #AskNASA your questions: go.nasa.gov/3ggwfMv


Hey, Mastodon. It's been a while. I'm Mel and I like to draw creatures.

Lucy in the sky! On Oct. 16, NASA's #LucyMission flew a mere 160 miles (260 kilometers) from the Earth's surface. 22 minutes later, team members caught a glimpse of the spacecraft with a telescope in Nebraska, just as Lucy emerged from Earth's shadow. youtu.be/gSHJ3uSnI-A #NASASolarSystem

One of those days 😖 #OTD in 2008 during their first EVA of STS-126, Heidemarie Stefanyshyn-Piper and Steve Bowen were working on @Space_Station construction when a grease gun leaked grease into a crew tool bag. While they tried to clean off the grease, the bag drifted away. #NASAhistory


I just bought a coffee to Alex Chen, who makes great accessibility resources available to everyone.

Fresh #Introduction 📢

We're an almost 15 year old queer feminist collective that runs a bookstore co-op and social movement space in Southern Appalachia. We’re an intimately democratic project, operating without bosses or investors to create a hub for anarchist thought and culture. But we’re not just a home base for committed radicals—we strive to promote exploration and encounter by being a welcoming and accessible space for our entire community. 🧵



Beat Saber

My latest #BeatSaber level struggle has been stuck in my head since I decided to have a go at it. The map is a nightcore remix of Juice Wrld's "Wasted": beatsaver.com/maps/1ace0

There are many things about this map/song that are not my usual: long streams, Juice Wrld (😂), and a fair amount of high-pitched noise.

I'm currently stuck at the tail end of this second long stream, where the blocks become stacked: youtu.be/ELdLZrELRfE?t=99 I've got it 85% speed, but no faster.

Beat Saber

I've prolly put a solid 1.5 hours into the song at this point, and with my back being utterly fucked as of Wednesday evening, it might be another week before I can return to Beat Saber at all. 😭

(Also, holy shit, that player on YouTube got an SS on that song. I don't think I've ever gotten an SS on a song that wasn't far easier than I prefer to play.)

Even listening to the boxed wine song can't get this map out of my head. youtube.com/watch?v=r_g80kvA4c…

It's been far too long since I gave a #BeatSaber map rec, but I'm back, babeeeee. "Fury", mapped by nitronik.exe, is a [head]banger: bsaber.com/songs/1d10c/ Playthrough: youtube.com/watch?v=HYdmT_BXxu…

It's one of those songs I tried and failed forever ago, ❤️'d because of fun rhythms, and then promptly forgot why I fav'd it. Every time I passed it in my favs afterwards, I'd be like, "What's this crunchy metal song doing here? 🤨" and skip it.

Well, it's fucking good, and I can beat it now. 🤣
