Yesterday was a good day. Even the dolphins thought so.

Stayed up way past my bedtime to capture the lunar eclipse. Clouds cleared up just enough to capture some great shots!

My hot take: municipalities will not pay for fixing burst pipes/water damage. So it makes sense to drip. But also if no one drips, many, many burst pipes can cause low water pressure AND house damage. So since either way is a boil notice, I'll stick with no burst pipes and drip.

Big shoutout to @smellyhoustonian.bsky.social for giving me a call and walking me through this. It depends on your water system. For Houston, the best solution is to shut off the water to your house if you can. Otherwise, you do you because you’ll be the one on the hook if pipes 💥.

Some reports of drizzle, sleet, and light rain now north of Houston. Temps still well above freezing but they will drop over the next few hours. Plan to be where you need to be by 7-8 PM.

Ahh...back from a week long vacation at Disneyland World. Kids had a great time! No roadtrip is complete without a mission patch. Had to make sure to include everyone's name.

NASA plans to expand the lunar cargo contracts of SpaceX and Blue Origin, to add "at least" two Artemis delivery missions next decade. Starship would deliver a JAXA pressurized rover, while Blue would delivery a lunar surface habitat. www.nasa.gov/news-release...

So many new followers…feel like I need to say something interesting. Here’s me being quoted on the stank level of space trash. Our Outreach team made Marge Simpson grumbly noises at me for a couple weeks for this.

This has been a long summer... Even though it's disappointing, my job is to do the right thing, and I helped the agency reach the right conclusion. Now the focus turns to ensuring safe uncrewed departure for CST and getting Buni what they need to become Dragon Riders.
