Blue Origin isn’t on Bluesky so I was checking the NG-2 launch status on the other site. Yep, still a hellscape over there.

I believe in forgiveness for many things but completely agree with Noah in his Substack article here. We’ve got to be careful and keep up our guards. These people are not to be trusted, even if they are family. We are in uncharted waters…

Trump voters have told you they will hurt you. It’s reasonable to believe them.

Can engineers play too? I was captivated by the Apollo 11 mission as a six year-old. It sparked a lifelong fascination with space that led me to aerospace engineering, with emphasis on astrodynamics.
Today I do launch vehicle GN&C at NASA and I can’t imagine doing anything else.

I’m genuinely an expert in launch vehicle guidance, navigation, and control, having spent 38 years in the field.
I’m trained and competent in general aerospace engineering, in particular in astrodynamics.
I’m treated by my coworkers as an expert in statistics though I’m barely adequate at it.

This is a great point, and it poses a question - feel free to QT with your answer:
What are you genuinely an expert in, what are you trained and competent in, and what do people TREAT YOU as an expert in?

So there’s a fire alarm going off in the press box at the EMU vs. Ohio game. The only way this could be more #MACtion is if it were snowing.
