Hearing the stories of evacuees in CA27 and throughout LA County has been heartbreaking. We are thankful for the Red Cross team here at Richie Valens Community Center for providing a space for families to evacuate and get out of harm’s way.

The B-21 Raider out and about. The airframe looks old but I’m guessing there is nothing old about it. 😎 🎥 Still_Blueberry_954

Huge lasers as the only plausible option for propellant spacecraft to relativistic speeds, using phased arrays like DELTA that can be expanded from grams to tons of payload: https://t.co/8JR4in6085 There's also a fun 1000 ton, 10 PW 0.7 C Avatar ISV example with 36 km reflector.

How will we carry astronauts from lunar orbit to the Moon and back? We're working with industry partners to develop these human landing systems. Check out this new concept art depicting @NASA_Orion docking with @SpaceX’s Starship and landing on the Moon. https://t.co/m7j0wkzh44

First look at SpaceX Starship HLS’ crew quarters. The design is similar to those used on the International Space Station, there are reportedly five crew quarters inside the Starship HLS mockup at Starbase. Astronauts will rest in this crew quarter design while on the Moon’s

Astrobotic was built as a company focused on mobility-as-a-service lunar missions & we have the spacecraft to prove it. Our mission, to make space accessible to the world, includes the development of lunar landers, rovers & lunar surface infrastructure. #GM1 #CubeRover #LunaGrid

Lunar Outpost's Eagle lunar terrain vehicle will fly on Starship to the Moon. This launch and landing services contract enables Lunar Outpost to provide mobility and infrastructure services on the lunar surface that will drive the Artemis campaign. #TheNextLeap #DrivingArtemis

Well hello, multiple configurations of HLS? That's new.
Starship will be used to land astronauts on the lunar surface on NASA's Artemis III mission, which will put the first humans on the Moon since 1972

If your “Why” for humans to Mars includes only science objectives, you are missing the point entirely. You are also ignore the results from the NASA report commissioned by Congress in the bipartisan Space Settlement Act, which start with this as the 1st rationale for NASA HSF:
@NASAOIG 10/ In this slide, Glaze says that these seven priorities came out of the most recent annual review of the Moon to Mars architecture.
