🦕 @kenlacovara breaks down how the 65-ton giant dreadnoughtus managed to survive its own scale. It’s not as simple as things just getting bigger.

That’s right. Under budget AND ahead of schedule. Looking forward to seeing the beginning of the world-changing Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope NET August 30.

#HappyBirthday to ASE Life Member and ASE-USA Vice President @CommanderMLA, who has flown to space six times since 1995 (STS-73, STS-92, STS-113, Soyuz TMA-9, Ax-1, and Ax-3), including as part of trips and expeditions to the @Space_Station (Expedition 14)!

These horns never fall off. Antelope horns aren’t like deer antlers. They’re permanent. Bone fused to the skull, wrapped in keratin, the same stuff as your fingernails. Straight, spiral, or sword-like, every shape is built for a purpose. Fighting, flexing, and surviving. (1/7)

The GOAT. @RichardGarriott

And thus it begins...again I never play mages!

🙌 Huge conservation news: Colossal CEO @BenLamm just joined the Board of the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, the most influential conservation organization in the United States. Follow and support their amazing work @NFWFnews (1/6)

Great games never die! God, what I would give for a new entry in the Ultima series, a true spiritual successor for Ultima VII would be a dream come true 🥹

Blue is super rare in nature. Fewer than 1 in 10 plants have blue flowers. It’s even rarer in animals. Most “blue” isn’t pigment, it’s physics. Tiny structures bend & scatter light so only blue reaches your eyes. It’s really an illusion, and that’s what makes it special. (1/8)

NASA takes center stage. Honoring the mission, the crew, and the thousands of people who made history happen. Featuring • Michael Altenhofen, Senior Advisor • John Blevins, SLS Chief Engineer • Judd Frieling, Artemis II Flight Director • Sarah Gillis, Senior Advisor • Dr. Lori Glaze, Head of Artemis • Jared Isaacman, Administrator • Amit Kshatriya, Associate Administrator • Tyler Nester, Artemis II Chief Engineer • Luis Saucedo, Orion Program • Liliana Villarreal, Artemis II Landing Recovery Director • Dr. Kelsey Young, Artemis II Science Lead • Charlie Blackwell-Thompson, Artemis Launch Director • Branelle Rodriguez, Artemis Orion Vehicle Manager @NASA | @NASAAdmin | @NASAArtemis

John Glenn's legacy reaches beyond space. As a senator, he built a reputation for integrity, pragmatism, and bipartisanship. He worked across party lines to advance science, accountability, and public trust in our government. We've gotta get back to that.

New one in progress.

The number 13 in the mission designation brings Russians more luck, apparently. And that luck is then even transferred to the American astronauts inside their thirteen capsules... :-) Is that right @RichardGarriott @AstroIronMike @astro_reid @Astro_Christina ?

America should lead the world in scientific endeavors. We have the best and brightest, and we’ll always advocate for NASA to receive the funding it needs to help us stay on top.

We don’t just throw words around. They matter. We work with living relatives and shape them to match extinct species. You can call it an Arctic-adapted elephant… we call it a mammoth. It’s clear. It clicks. And we’re sticking with it.

Officially launching Astronauts For America has been incredible! It was great to be at the National Air & Space Museum in DC today as we officially started this effort to protect our democracy.
