My second submission to NASA's Moon to Mars Architecture Art challenge from last year, "The Traverse." My vision for Sustained Lunar Evolution is inspired by Antarctic research logistics, where cargo shipped to coastal ports is hauled across the surface to remote outposts.

My first submission to NASA's Moon to Mars Architecture Art challenge from last year, "Spiralling Complexity." I wanted to capture the magnitude of scientific research and tech development that will come together to enable Humans to Mars. Also, low-thrust trajectories are cool :)

New Glenn was successfully static fired last night in preparation for its maiden flight, now targeting early 2025. This vehicle is a behemoth, the largest and most powerful rocket fired at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station since Titan IV.
Can’t wait to see this monster spread its wings.

My reaction? I can't say what my initial reaction was ( trying to keep this thread clean) but this is a gigantic error on the part of the incoming Trump Administration. The relationship between SpaceX and NASA is a bit too cozy as it is. This choice gives the US Space Agency to SpaceX & Elon Musk.
Trump says he wants Jared Isaacman, CEO of fintech firm Shift4, to be the head of NASA. Isaacman has paid hundreds of millions of dollars if not more to SpaceX as part of an on-going business relationship, so here are a few qs:

Allow me to fix this @gizmodo.com headline: "Rare asteroid sample contaminated by microorganisms after exposure TO THE AIR". This team from London received an asteroid Ryugu grain from JAXA's Hayabusa2 mission 🛰️. There were no Earthy evils when they received it from JAXA then... they exposed it. 🧪😑
Rare Asteroid Sample Contaminated by Microorganisms Despite Scientists' Best Efforts
A chunk of rock collected from the asteroid Ryugu contains bacteria—but, unfortunately, it's not evidence of alien life.
