If tomorrow afternoon, you are high on ketamine and your head is spinning, your eyes rolling back, your eye is sore from where somehow you have a black eye, and suddenly you are jolted back to reality by an earth shattering booming noise (Sat May 31st) at 1:10pm, it's space junk being launched into space. #sonicboom #rocket #launch #SantaBarbaraCounty #VenturaCounty
To everyone who's watched the SpaceX rocket launch: Just a reminder that Elon Musk has promised to get humans up to Mars by 2022: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/sep/27/elon-musk-spacex-mars-colony #spacex #space #mars #rocket
CEA: Une histoire spatiale qui commence en 1959
Pour traquer les poussières radioactives liées aux essais nucléaires, le CEA embarque un compteur Geiger dans un missile. À 100 km d’altitude, surprise : des rayons gamma viennent d’au-dessus. C’est le début de l’astrophysique au CEA.

#Trump ally #ElonMusk's #rocket & #satellite company #SpaceX has emerged as a frontrunner alongside #software firm #Palantir & #drone maker #Anduril to build key components of the system, Reuters reported last month.
Many of the early systems are expected to come from existing production lines. Attendees at the WhiteHouse presser w/Trump on Tues named #L3Harris, #LockheedMartin & #RTXCorp as potential contractors for the massive project.

Are you actually serious?
The front fell off Australia’s #rocket?
That’s not very typical, I’d like to make that point. As discussed here:

A Renaissance era basilica next to a rocket is not an Italian take on a space launch site. This mockup of an early version of the Vega European launcher is on display at the "Leonardo da Vinci" Science and Technology Museum in downtown Milan, Italy.

There is the possibility that residents of and visitors to Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, and Ventura counties may hear one or more sonic booms during the launch, but what residents experience will depend on weather and other conditions."

Vandenberg AFB with a 5:30am Easter wakeup call. US military launch, on the rocket of a man with a spazzy right arm attempting to sink the US government and make himself richer.
Launch Alert

This is a touch odd. Everyone can see American billionaire led coup erasing women at NASA, firing women scientists, taking down photos of female astronauts, and everyone hates it, and sees billionaires putting "celebrity" women and a fiance on a rocket.
Like flowers instead not cheating, its just so laughably typical.
The Guardian noticed celebrities didnt like it either.
The ongoing mass #job cuts by #ElonMusk’s #DOGE and another #touchdown -
There it is: rich people’s phantasy (#space tourism) without any value for the rest of the society – 11-minutes flying to space on #JeffBezos’ #BlueOrigin #rocket –
Day 49 of #The100DayProject
Outer space aliens are often depicted as something evil. That idea was brought to us by mostly white men and they have such often unfunded credibility in this world, that nobody bats an eye by that notion. But it’s human who want to concur the universe and those who can have bad intentions. I want to think of aliens as peaceful creatures who travel by #rocket that leave a trail of flowers

Head's up Santa Barbara!
