This 2 1/2 minute video shows the process of moving the Roman Space Telescope from the #Goddard Space Flight Center, in #Maryland down to #Kennedy Space Center in #florida

They packed up the telescope securely, drove it to Baltimore Harbor, put it on a barge, and floated it to Florida.

I just learned about Operation Silver Shovel. Greenbelt, MD, like many other places,, has received a nasty dusting of snow; nasty, at least, for our tender experience. Now I learned that if you live in a townhouse or single,, are 70 or older or disabled, the city will clear your driveway/sidewalk if you can't. Dang. We're not talking about their doing it and fining you: just doing it to help, so there's access in case of an emergency.
(Now i the snowplow driver will only go home, so I can clear the bottom of our driveway so it stays clear.) That aside is serious, but at the same time I applaud them. They've been doing a great job of keeping the roads clear. Not just the main drag: all the roads.

🇨🇵 Le #Goddard, ce lieu iconique de la #recherche spatiale, n'est pas épargnée par la tourmente en cours dans les milieux scientifiques aux États-Unis. J'ai eu la chance de le visiter il y a quelques années (mon frère y est chercheur depuis plus de 10 ans... et pour le moment toujours en poste) : "voir" la recherche spatiale à l'œuvre, les "salles blanches" parmi les plus grandes au monde, des centrifugeuses monumentales, les maquettes à taille réelle servant à "répéter" les manipulations du robot Curiosity avant d'envoyer les codes sur Mars... ouf !
Quels que soient les résultats politiques ce soir, des dégâts immenses ont déjà été faits aux milieux de la recherche...

🇬🇧 The Goddard Space Flight Center, that iconic place of space research, has not been spared by the turmoil currently affecting scientific circles in the United States. I had the chance to visit it a few years ago (my brother has been a researcher there for over 10 years... and still working there): “seeing” space research at work, some of the largest “clean rooms” in the world, monumental centrifuges, life-size models used to “rehearse” the Curiosity robot's maneuvers before sending the codes to Mars... phew!
Whatever the political results tonight, immense damage has already been done to the research community...

I try to introduce as many #friends to this amazing local #NatureSanctuary as possible. Once they experience the natural magic, they fall in love with it & support continued protection efforts.
