Recently retired from JPL. The projects I where I made the biggest contribution were GRACE, GRAIL, ST7 on Lisa Pathfinder, NISAR and High Performance Space Computer.

I am going to post and boost political content without a CW. If this is a problem for you, please don’t follow me.

How do you "grade" Trump's first 100 days when he ought to be in jail?

As President Donald Trump celebrates his first 100 days in office, a new PBS News/NPR/Marist poll finds that a plurality of Americans give him a failing grade.

We didn’t fight a #revolution just to hand the keys to a wannabe king like #Trump.

Not then. Not now. Not ever.

Taxpayers will pay at least $475 billion so Elon Musk can have fun giving babies HIV

Enough to pay for single-payer healthcare for every American.

These are the final close-ups of this sequence of Lunokhod 2 maps. At left, a complex bit of driving along the edge of the trough. Some of the maneuvers may be for making stereoscopic pairs of panoramas showing the opposite side of the trough. At right, the last drive and final rover position. It seems the end was sudden and did not leave time for the laser reflector to be pointed at Earth. Its reflections are very weak. #maps #moon #luna21 #lunokhod2

Trump and the GOP are trying to cancel or cripple the mandated National Climate Assessment.
I was lead author on the water sector report of the very first one, in 2000. There have been 5 so far, all improving our understanding of the serious threats of #climate change to the United States.
This action won't make those threats go away. It'll just make us blind to the coming consequences.

A reminder that just a handful of Republicans in the Senate and House could join with Democrats to overrule Trump's "Executive Order" and end the economic disaster of these tariffs TODAY.

That Republicans won't is just one reason why they should be obliterated in 2026.

We need to make them fear voters more than they fear Trump.
