It was never supposed to be this way, at least not on the NASA side of things. There was always supposed to be at least two providers to prevent over-reliance on one company. Instead, it evolved into what we got. And now the monster NASA helped create may help destroy the agency.

Perhaps this is a signal that the US needs to go back to the "tired and true" model where the Government owns its vehicles again so as not to be completely dependent on the whims of an ego-maniac with deep pockets hopped up on ketamine. I'm being blunt but after what's happened, the gloves are off.

Jonathan Joss was Comanche and Apache and an openly gay actor. He was murdered while looking at the remains of his dogs at his own house that was burnt down. The killer yelled homophobic slurs before shooting him. This is the real world consequences of the hatred that the right commodifies

Kind of cute that the only time genAIguys express any sort of doubt or mistrust of text on the internet is when it is a human writing it to say their chatbot doesn't even work good

Many others are posting abt this too but this graphic viscerally shows how dire the presidential budget is for NASA 🔭🧪and worldwide astronomy. I can’t express how sad this makes me, as an American scientist. And it’s mostly already paid for projects, so also no logic in terms of saving money.

Taking bets on SpaceX sending 5 landers to mars on 2026. Anyone foolish enough to think they do, sign up.

WAPO keeps churning out these articles about Musk that are hilariously vague as to WHY he's so unpopular. While parroting the completely false claim that DOGE was EVER about serious government efficiency.
