If you haven’t already, please go watch @xylafoxlin.bsky.social’s newest video. In it, she covers issues regarding mental health and women’s health in the aviation community. Even if you think this doesn’t affect you, it’s still 100% worth watching. youtu.be/aj0H8oVS7qg

It’s not a bug, it’s a feature.

This photo was released today by Intuitive Machines, seemingly taken by their Athena IM-2 mission lander. The lander clearly tipped over, but otherwise looks OK. But it can't recharge, so is functionally dead. As far as I know, this is the first photo ever taken from the lunar south polar region.

I gotta say I was not expecting the blimp to end up so close to my house😂
A U.S. Customs surveillance blimp broke free from its tether in South Padre Island and drifted nearly 600 miles before being found tangled in power lines near Quinlan, Texas.

I don’t know about yall but this definitely filled me with many great emotions I have a feeling that this footage will help inspire future engineers, scientists, astronauts, and artists for generations to come

Here’s footage of Rocket Lab testing their Neutron fairing system. The fairings will remain attached to the first stage allowing for a faster turn around of the launch vehicle

I went on the other app to try and get more information on the collision but all I found was conspiracy theories and finger pointing🤦‍♂️

We are one step closer to seeing the return of supersonic commercial travel! Boom’s XB-1 went supersonic for the first time, reaching Mach 1.1 three times over the Mojave Desert. This milestone paves the way for Overture, which aims to fly passengers at Mach 1.7

Theory time! I think there was a large leak in the methane tank causing the engines to run oxygen rich. The first engine out might have caused damage to the other raptors resulting in them shutting down as well. What are your thoughts?

I gave it a 50/50 as to who would do it first. It really all came down to how the second stage of NG did

I think the overall idea I’m getting at is we mine resources on the planet and use them to build things such as research stations and maybe even a Dyson swarm. It takes a lot of delta v to get to Mercury so using the material already there is ideal.
