We don’t have true AI (AGI) yet. What we have are LLM algorithms that guess and hallucinate a lot. Truth is truth. We are on the road to true AI, I think, but we are not there. Take everything that comes from the ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Grok algorithms with a grain of

Current U.S. launch capacities to TLI: NASA (SLS) - 27 metric tons SpaceX (Falcon Heavy) - 21 metric tons ULA (Vulcan) - 11.3 metric tons Rocket Lab (Electron) - 0.05 metric tons For comparison: NASA (Saturn V) - 47 metric tons These are our proven TLI capacities. Please

An overpass near Chattanooga was decorated with American flags. I like Tennessee… More states should follow their example!

Pioneer 4 actually missed its flyby distance. It was twice as far from the lunar surface as intended when it passed by the moon.

50 weeks prior to Pioneer 4 being hurled at the moon and missing, Vanguard 1 was launched from Canaveral. It went into an elliptical orbit around the Earth and is still there. It is even smaller than the Pioneer 4 probe. Vanguard 1 was only six inches in diameter and was the

Sitting in a comfy chair with my feet up, thinking about how @NASA might best spend taxpayer dollars on a new mission. Why not attempt an intercept and capture of Pioneer 4? It’s currently in a heliocentric orbit (0.987 AU × 1.142 AU, i = 1.3°). A full capture and return would

More official renders of Starship including the tanker, depot and HLS lander just dropped! I still think HLS should drop anything not needed after TLI (Raptors / Tankage)... Source: https://t.co/EFZUTJ6wWS

I have been following Marcus for a while now. This video convinced me to Subscribe to his X account. Marcus does a deep dive into everything he posts. I appreciate that.
How many times can a mind be blown before it turns into a pulpy mess!? 🤯 I don’t know, but it’s happened a lot this week. 🚀 Massive surprises revealed in this one! 🔥 https://t.co/azn6tLDDp7

I love the mechanical algorithm. Measure-Excavate-Extend-Repeat. Simple is always better.
We love seeing all the science that was unearthed or “unmooned” from the payloads on board Blue Ghost Mission 1! Our friends at @NASA, @HB_Robotics and @TexasTech released their findings from LISTER - the first robotically deployed subsurface thermal probe on the Moon. Read the

"Flight, try SCE to AUX." I'm curious about the lightning protection for Starship. As there is no lightning rod clearly visible, does anyone know if a random lightning strike during ascent would be routed around vital circuitry? Apollo 12 was hit twice during ascent. It was
