Thanks to everyone for their support in getting our youtube channel to one million subs.
Nothing at NSF would have been possible without our amazing team - past and present - involved, and a superb space flight community that supports what we all do!
Too many names to mention… x.com/i/web/status/1…
Recently passed my 6-year anniversary with NSF. Never, ever expected to see anything like this happen when I started in 2018. It's been the ride of a lifetime, so proud to be with this team and community!

One last ride.
The stage is set for the final Delta IV Heavy rocket to fly after serving for more than 20 years - one last effort for the @NatReconOfc and NROL-70.
T-0 is currently slated for 1:40pm tomorrow afternoon.

Work on the Starfactory continued, Booster 4 was scrapped, and S29 was readied for a second static fire after completing one earlier in the week.

Breaking news: the Event Horizon Telescope team unveils strong magnetic fields spiraling at the edge of Milky Way’s central black hole, Sagittarius A*. This new image suggests that strong magnetic fields may be common to all black holes.

All this talk about designing a moon train from scratch when no one acknowledged the obvious solution:
Send a Big Boy to the Moon
Haul five mile trains around the lunar south pole using 566 tons of pure American muscle
Tried out my refractor telescope on the Sun today. I think it just might work!
This shot isn't too sharp or detailed, as I'm using a 0.8x reducer to max out my field of view. There's a reason coming in 2 weeks I'll want max coverage. 🙂

I usually never post awareness campaigns, but this is important.
The Chandra X-ray Observatory, an operational one-of-a-kind telescope orbiting Earth, is planned to be shut down solely for budgetary reasons.
This is unacceptable.

A team of NASA-funded scientists recently discovered long-lasting radio signals above sunspots — dark regions of the Sun’s surface where magnetic field forces are extremely strong.
The radio bursts are the first of their kind to be observed at the Sun ⬇️

Pretty depressing day at work today with lots of staff updating their resumes as we grapple with NASA's decision to shut down Chandra, the world's only ever high resolution X-ray space telescope, still returning fabulous science discoveries. Still hoping this can be reversed
