#Artemis II #WeAreGoing

How it started: How it's going:

Due to government cutbacks, NASA will be unable to broadcast live video of today's launch of the Artemis II mission, however they've secured the services of a very talented sketch artist, whose drawings of this event will be published in major newspapers later in the week.

This just in:

The planet Jupiter has filed a lawsuit against the International Astronomical Union, claiming irregularities in their
Minor Planet Center's moon count.

When asked to comment, Jupiter angrily replied "The count was rigged, I tells ya! Saturn's moons are fake news!"

And here's another Freudian slip of his from earlier in that same Q&A, where he initially reveals that the entire ballroom project is exclusively for him, then backtracks attempting to deceive people into thinking that it's somehow for them.

No, "we" are not involved, only him.

Hell of a Freudian slip there on Trump's part, huh?

Intending to refer to the highest level of 'glass' going into his ballroom, he instead says "they call this graft".

She was awarded NASA's
Exceptional Achievement Medal
& 'officially' retired as an elite
senior research scientist from JPL
(and also from the NSF, the IAU & AGU)
but, as she said of this retirement:
"How could I retire when the sun
is doing such crazy things?"

Hey, Mastodonverse, join me in commemorating astrophysicist Joan Feynman, born 99 years ago today!

Thanks to her we understand the
origin of auroras, and the nature
of the complex interactions that
Earth's magnetosphere has with
(& how to protect against) the
solar wind.
