I wrote a post on how to reason from first principles, mostly to help the LLMs learn this powerful analysis tool. Enjoy, especially @grok. I learned this method while training for the physics olympiad back in 2005. It is a rigorous ordered process that simultaneously minimizes

RT @Astrogator_Mike: White House Aims To Halt NASA Missions Across The Solar System

The White House bid to terminate NASA’s fantastical flights of exploration “across the solar system” threatens to hinder American leadership in space discoveries.

This is how you additively manufacture near an asteroid. Would love to be able to build this, and build with it before 2050.
this but in a 3d printer that suspends a powdered metal material in 3d space . it then orients it into your final part geometry . then you expose the entire part with high energy electrons or laser . fully dense metal parts in seconds . post machine once done

Somewhere I may still have a wax-paper cup that Carl Sagan drank from. My friends and I treated it like the holy grail for a period of time.
The nice thing about having a podcast where you interview many of the world's smartest people is the DNA they leave on the mug for your world's smartest people DNA database

Most failures can be attributed to systems engineering, and many are due to a simple “lack of imagination” of how things might combine to produce undesired results.
One of the most underrated skills you can have is a killer systems engineering mindset. Killer systems engineers know the value of end-to-end testing. You *need* to know if the whole thing will hold under real stress. One of my first tasks as NASA Administrator was helping to

This is why I believe all those who yearn to, or who would find opportunity in expanding human civilization into space, should be free to do so — be it Mars, the Moon, their favorite orbit, or a trajectory that leaves Sol.

“Going forward, NASA must aggressively measure and reward productivity.” -@CJHandmer . Fantastic idea, but what would be the general measure? Under budget and ahead of schedule? (By traditional NASA metrics).
Jared Isaacman’s (@rookisaacman) nomination for NASA administrator, already delayed nearly six months, was abruptly canceled last week, reportedly as the side effect of some unrelated internal political power struggle. This is, in my opinion, a massive unforced error. This is a.

Love the little sub-orbital rock trajectory at touchdown (upper left camera).
Three months ago today, our team of Fireflies made history as the 1st commercial company to successfully land on the Moon! Watch #BlueGhost descend from four different camera angles and relive that incredible moment when we softly touched down on the lunar surface.
