MYTH: We don't have a solution to nuclear's "waste problem"
REALITY: Nuclear waste isn't a problem. In fact, it’s the best solution we have to meeting our energy needs while protecting the natural environment!

.@straczynski Just think how nuts they’ll go when you announce that Bill Shatner is the new John Sheridan.

This is a significant point. I was at a con early in B5's history, pre-Bester, and I mentioned Walter was going to appear in the show, and the crowd *booed* because I was surrendering to Trek-ifying the show and selling out and this would destroy it.
The more things change....

.@straczynski When you did Babylon 5.0, you had Harlan Ellison as conceptual consultant. Harlan is unfortunately no longer available, but I hope you will have some heavy-weight SF authors involved in the new series.

Happy #RocketFridays 🚀!
This week, we've got an awesome video.
To prepare for a flight with @ZandefDeksit's #LunarExoCam payload, we simulated a lunar landing & rotated #Xodiac to practice "shaking off" the ExoCams—validating its ability to capture footage of lunar landings.

.@WilliamShatner We‘ve fallen behind in the space race. Any comment on your Russian competition? She’s prettier than you. (I know it hurts, but I have to be honest.) You’re going to have to win this one by sheer talent. We’re counting on you, Bill!

There are no other vehicles nearby to take photos of Inspiration4.

I've had several questions about why there are no photos of Inspiration4 after orbit. It's a private mission, and their choice. Families are in regular contact and all is well. There will be some events. The video will eventually show up on Netflix. But this is not NASA, folks.

It makes no sense to define what an object is based on where it is found.
If I find a ribeye in the produce section of the supermarket, that doesn't make it produce, or not meat.

I still think that orbital eccentricity is an issue for Pluto, or should be. Size isn't everything, but the planets all fall within an orbital plane, within 10 degrees, correct?

Major milestone coming up: next week we're relocating our carrier aircraft, WhiteKnightTwo, to her new home at @Spaceport_NM. She will be the first of our flight vehicles to relocate to the "Land of Enchantment."
