I'm marking Samhain tonight (I use the southern hemisphere wheel of the year, given where I live). Who wants some apple cake? #samhain #southernhemisphere #witch #witchcraft #polyamory #witchcraft #food #cake #moon

The White House announced a plan to cancel over 50 #space missions as part of a devastating 46% cut to #NASA #science.

The proposal would likely eliminate thousands of jobs at an agency that has just launched astronauts to the #Moon for the first time in decades, and dozens of other space missions would see their operations reduced or slowly wound down to a halt.

The following missions are to be cancelled:

  1. The Habitable Worlds Observatory being built to search for #life on dozens of Earth-like planets beyond our Solar System while addressing fundamental questions about our #Universe.

  2. OSIRIS-APEX capitalizes on the exceptionally rare 2029 Earth flyby of the potentially hazardous #asteroid #Apophis to advance planetary defense strategies and reveal how Earth’s #gravity alters an asteroid’s surface and interior.

  3. The ExoMars Rosalind Franklin rover will deliberately search for signs of life on #Mars by analyzing the composition of samples collected from as deep as 2 meters below the surface.

  4. The DAVINCI mission is an atmospheric probe that will be deployed to our sister planet, #Venus, and provide the first detailed measurements of the composition and chemistry of its #atmosphere.

  5. Initially focusing on #Jupiter’s interior, atmosphere, and aurora, #Juno is already orbiting Jupiter and has expanded during its extended mission to be a full system explorer capable of investigating the Galilean satellites, rings, inner moons, radiation belts, and boundaries of Jupiter’s magnetosphere.

  6. VERITAS will create unprecedented, global, high-resolution datasets of Venus designed to answer a fundamental question for rocky #planets: how did Earth and her twin Venus evolve into two entirely different examples of planetary #habitability?

Prediction. A decade from now, low-Earth orbit will be inaccessible after Starlink (now bankrupt) precipitates a massive #Kessler catastrophe. Years/generations will pass before new launches to #space are possible. No #Moon missions; no #Mars missions. #Musk's name is cursed (even more...).

:space_exp_artemis: 🚀 We just sent a team of humans to the moon and safely home. Not one bit of generative AI was used or needed. You don't need it in your office or organization, either. We can do great things without pillaging public resources and funds for a scam. #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #NASA #Artemis #moon #genAI #generativeAI #slop

NASA Flew by the Moon, but Behind the Scenes, Its Science Is a Chaotic Mess https://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/08/opinion/nasa-climate-science-earth.html?utm_source=flipboard&utm_content=Econopass%2Fmagazine%2FFLIPBOARD+EXCHANGE+FEED+%F0%9F%97%9E%EF%B8%8F Artemis II’s journey around the moon, scheduled to conclude on Friday, has delivered stunning new images of our home world taken from space. Those pictures remind us that Earth has changed immensely since the last time astronauts went near the moon in 1972. So has NASA. Budget cuts, chaos and … #science #moon #nasa #arthemis

Hello? Artemis II astronauts make long-distance call to the space station as they head home from the moon. From @AssociatedPress@flipboard.com: "It was the first moonship-to-spaceship radio linkup ever." https://flip.it/-SGdzx #Artemis #Artemis2 #Space #Moon #Science

Astronauts aboard NASA’s Artemis II have now boldly gone where no human has gone before. At 1:57 p.m. ET, the crew surpassed the record for the farthest distance traveled from Earth by humans, which was set by the Apollo 13 mission in 1970. The crew is scheduled to start making observations of the Moon’s surface during the flyby, losing contact with Earth for about 40 minutes.
