“C’mon, TARS.”

This is real life. This is a thing that really happened.

And we were here to witness it.

Just… woah.

Before… and After.

Inspired by a post by Twitter user @atlonglastcz — “i want to see more photographers post before & after photos; people need to see how much intentionality goes into each edit.” 🚀✨📸

Enhance Details. 🔍

Throwback to this dramatic Moon image I took in March 2021 — one of the first lunar photos I took with my trusty Nikon P950.

Back in the Fall, I had heard about a SpaceX worker who wrote on the company's intranet asking that Musk stop wearing company apparel at political rallies.

After he posted that, he had his access shut off and was walked out of his office.

What's better than 1 rocket launch? 2!
What's better than 1 booster in a picture? 2!
What's better than 1 streak shot? 2!

First, the shuttle walkway leads the way to the successful launch of IM-2 from LC-39A

Second, Starlink 12-13 launches from SLC-40 seen from the port

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,

Because their words had forked no lightning they

Do not go gentle into that good night;

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

SpaceX Crew-7 astronaut & former ISS commander Andreas Mogensen disputes Elon Musk’s assertion that Butch & Suni were “abandoned” on the ISS for political reasons.

Musk’s response is absolutely appalling.

This is what things have come to in the space community in 2025.

Using JWST, scientists recently observed a protoplanetary disk and gas jets located around a newborn star.

Furthermore, Webb was used to investigate "light echoes" traveling through interstellar material near Cassiopeia A.
