Imagery collected by Vantor’s WorldView-3 satellite about 1 day after the anomaly shows that @starlink Satellite 35956 is largely intact. The 12-cm resolution image was collected over Alaska from 241 km away. We appreciate the rapid response by @vantortech to provide this
On December 17, Starlink experienced an anomaly on satellite 35956, resulting in loss of communications with the vehicle at 418 km. The anomaly led to venting of the propulsion tank, a rapid decay in semi-major axis by about 4 km, and the release of a small number of trackable

Not everyone gets to visit the two new advanced AP1000 modular reactors at Plant Vogtle in the United States. This is your chance to see one up close, bricks size. Real AP1000 units are now faster and more cost effective to build because of our modular design and mature

Congrats to @rookisaacman! He is being handed the reins to NASA at a challenging time, and the constraints on his job are daunting, but I'm excited to see what he is able to do. The next few years at NASA may be pretty critical.
The Senate has confirmed Jared Isaacman as NASA administrator on a 67-30 vote.

@elonmusk Earth absorbs ~0.00005% of solar output. If we can reproduce that energy density on Earth via fusion, it’s a fundamental step-change. The universe already validated fusion as the most scalable power source - engineering it is like moving from open fire to a combustion engine:
