An authoritative source on the #Falcon9 crashing into the #moon.
“ With the data I've seen as of 2026 August 1, I'm computing an impact on 2026 August 5 at 06:35:37.5 UTC (Universal Time), probably plus or minus a few seconds.” — Bill Gray

@Alison doesn’t appear so. Birds not aligned, no private telescope reports. Appears the crash in a known area is ‘dark’ despite knowing for 9M.
Bill Gray at Arizona Uni using custom software is the most likely source of any known impacts. Part of #ProjectPluto.
PhD candidates #AdamBattle and #TannerCampbell and undergrad #GraceHalferty are also tracking the impact.
“Reddy said no one on Earth will get to see the actual impact, but he is hoping NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter will be able to get some detailed, before-and-after pictures to see what kind of damage it does.” — #VishnuReddy, associate professor UA’s #LunarAndPlanetaryLaboratory

Report: #Russia's #nuclear-powered '#Skyfall' missile is dirty and dangerous
By Geoff Brumfiel, Connie Hanzhang Jin, June 18, 2026
"According to Russian and Western sources, the new weapon, known in Russian as #Burevestnik and by NATO as Skyfall, was powered by a small nuclear reactor. Few other details were forthcoming."

@isaackuo @Legit_Spaghetti @edgeofeurope @benroyce So they have tested it?
This is insane...
I recall reading about #ProjectPluto at #AtomicRockets website by @nyrath and it's very nasty and dangerous:

Let me tell you about an #AtomicAge monstrosity
It wasn't a #nuclear #missile, it was a nuclear *powered* missile. So it could fly almost forever
Do you see the teensy tiny problem?
The fucking thing constantly spewed nuclear #radiation
🤦
Luckily canceled
Constantly irradiating the atmosphere might be slightly bad huh?
Glad to put that in the dustbin of history
Right?
"Russia tested new nuclear-powered #Burevestnik cruise missile"
Fucking #Russia
