We have successfully established contact with both ESCAPADE spacecraft, 💙 Blue and 💛 Gold, following launch on Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket today.
We're on our way to Mars to enable NASA and UC Berkeley Space Sciences Lab to study the Martian magnetosphere!

Another species no longer on the global Endangered list:
Humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae).
A few decades after a Star Trek movie where the central conflict was the total extinction of the humpback, their numbers are rising fast enough to put them at "Least Concern" on the IUCN Red List.

Our two spacecraft for NASA & UC Berkeley's Space Sciences Laboratory's ESCAPADE mission have been successfully encapsulated into the rocket fairing. This is the last time they'll be seen on Earth before their mission to Mars.
Next stop: The launch pad. 🚀

In parts of Michigan, you can pick up a fairly ordinary chunk of limestone & with some polishing, reveal a coral formation that was laid down when this area was a tropical sea in the Devonian, 350 MYA.
These are Petoskey stones, the state stone of Michigan.

I’ve spent a good chunk of my career relying on American science and engineering to keep me alive. Yesterday, RFK Jr. testified at the U.S. Senate Finance Committee. It was sad to see him try to destroy the life’s work of so many American scientists. He shouldn’t be in this job.

In 1983, Philips produced the first FM radio receiver on a chip, leading to products such as the FM radio wristwatch. Let's look at the tiny silicon die inside this chip and see how it works. 1/N

In the 1960s, this absurdly large camera was used to make masks for integrated circuits. The layers of the integrated circuit were drawn at large scale and then optically shrunk to make the glass masks that were used in manufacturing.

What is common knowledge in your field, but shocks outsiders?
Food systems are the #2 contributor to climate change, the #1 driver of deforestation, the #1 driver of biodiversity loss on land, and the #1 user of freshwater.
(It follows that food systems contain many solutions to these problems.)

For those of you who are interested in birds, I recommend the free “Merlin Bird ID” app. A friend introduced me to it and it is wonderful. It uses your phone’s mic to identify bird calls near you and teaches you about each bird.

Lets see if you can add other NVME storage to the Switch 2.
I made some Micro SD Express adapters, one for M.2 and one for sniffing traffic.
If it works out might do a Flex PCB adapter later on to add external SSD storage to the Switch 2 while docked.
