  1. 🚀💾 Oh, look! NASA's busy performing #CPR on a 46-year-old #space #fossil with a "Hail Mary" #thruster trick. Meanwhile, #The Register's website is busy playing #robot #bouncer, blocking your desperate attempts to read about it. 🤖🚫

  2. Meet Hēki - the reo Māori word for 🥚. In June-ish, it'll become the most powerful electromagnet ever to fly to and be tested on the International Space Station. Built here in Aotearoa! It's a precursor or tech demo for a future ion thruster called Kōkākō - named for a native NZ bird 🐦

  4. A close-up view of the Reaction Control System thrusters on #NASA’s Space Shuttle #Endeavour.
    The #RCS thrusters are intended to allow the #SpaceShuttle to have fine control over its attitude once it’s in orbit.

  5. I solved several problems in the #CAD modeling of the hull's details, I'm happy with the result. 🥳 🥳 🥳 #Ship #design #bulb #thruster #FreeCAD #Plasticity3d

  6. CW: Crossfit

    Completed 23.2:

    23.2A:
    AMRAP 15 minutes:
    5 pull-ups
    10 shuttle runs
    *Add 5 burpee pull-ups after each round.
    23.2B:
    Immediately after, 5 minutes to establish:
    1-rep-max (from the floor)

    I got 127 reps and 217 lb (98kg). Again the whole workout boiled down to pacing on this one!

    My strategy was to go hot on burpees and slow in the runs, but I should have gone for something more in the middle. Proud of the section though!

  7. It was believed that running more #propellant through a Hall #thruster would wreck its efficiency, but new experiments suggest they might power a crewed #mission to #Mars
