Someday, I'll definitely become one of the software engineers that make these space missions possible

Do you want your name sent around the Moon on the #Artemis I mission? It’s not quite writing it in the stars, but it’s still pretty impressive!

The Full Moon is beautiful tonight, seen here over the Space Coast of Florida at 8:46pm (ET) as the International Space Station and its crew of 7 passed overhead. Traveling @ ~17,500mph, it took less than 3/4 sec for the ISS to transit the face of the Moon.

Arianespace and ESA are set for the launch of the Sentinel-1D Earth observation satellite from French Guiana. Sentinel-1D is expected to replace the aging Sentinel-1A satellite in orbit. Justin Davenport (@Bubbinski) with the overview ⬇️ nasaspaceflight.com/2025/11/sentin…

Let's see if I can get the background here mostly right: MAXAR is struggling to execute with red flags everywhere (OSAM-1, Gateway PPE, Echostar, etc.). A private equity firm swoops in, buys cheap and splits the company into two (space hardware/manufacturing + imagery/AI). They…

For November, and exclusively for X subscribers, I am giving away the new SPACEX TUMBLER ($35)! Like always, one random subscriber's name will be drawn at the end of the month. Join the likes of Elon himself, support the EC for only $4/mo., and you might win!

In Thrust we Trust! Starship is the most powerful flying machine humans have ever created, double the thrust of Saturn V. 🤯

In case you weren’t paying attention, in the past 48 hours, the world’s greatest Von Braunian (Elon) has embraced O’Neillianism. Lunar manufacturing. Mass drivers. Massive industry outside a planetary gravity field. All this and Mars, too.♥️ Wasn’t on my bingo card for 2025.

You know you’re doing something right when people start calling your videos fake! 😂 @Starcloud_Inc1

This is probably fake. They’re backed by In-Q-Tel, the VC arm for CIA. We’re already in the second Cold War. Taiwan will fall uncontested by the US in 2028 and the race for energy and compute will evolve into an existential topic for the world, narrative or not it doesn’t…

We need a bold new vision - focused on outcomes, not technology nor existing contracts - if we are to win the next century in space for open societies. China is moving methodically through their plan. We can and must do better by unleashing American creativity and dynamism.

In recent weeks, copies of an intriguing policy document have started to spread among space lobbyists on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC. The plan bears the title “Athena." Why is it appearing now? arstechnica.com/space/2025/11/…

Ahead of launch, here’s what’s inside the payload aboard Atlas V for the ViaSat-3 F2 mission and how it’s designed to add more than double the bandwidth capacity of @Viasat’s existing fleet. 🧵

They have a lunar business development manager who I have met with a few times. He told me in 2023 that SpaceX plans to stay on the Moon. I was discussing with him some possible business cases that a university might develop, taking advantage of low-cost Starship flights.

We must get rid of the parasitic system that is cost-plus contracting. And I know exactly who could do this.

There are good engineers at Boeing and Lockheed, but we have to get rid of the cost-plus contracting system that incentivizes maximizing costs!

The OLM put up a bit of a fight tonight with a small fire inside the ring. Thankfully no one seems injured and crews were able to quickly extinguish it. They're already back at work cutting it up to make way for the new design! @nasaspaceflight nsf.live/starbase
