My sense from knowing Musk a little bit is that this vote on leadership of Twitter is a face-saving way to step back from the position.

@michaelgemar@mstdn.ca they believe they have solved the problem with regenerative cooling. We shall see.

Stoke Space put out an excellent video on Twitter that demonstrates its plans for a reusable upper stage. The technology, if they can get there, is potentially revolutionary.

@Adam_Crain@mas.to I don't know, but I am dismayed.

"If the need arises" ... Russia is accelerating preparations of the next Soyuz spacecraft in line, MS-23.

In half an hour SpaceX will attempt to launch a Falcon 9 rocket first stage for the 15th time.

@MattCC716@hachyderm.io There is the forthcoming Ax-2 and Crew-6 missions, but the short answer is probably not any time soon.

There are a lot of questions about the fate of the damaged Soyuz spacecraft docked to the ISS. Here's my attempt to provide some answers. #soyuz #iss

NASA is going to delay a spacewalk planned for Monday by Frank Rubio and Josh Cassada in order to facilitate robotic arm visual inspections of the Soyuz-MS 22 spacecraft. Those are likely to happen this weekend.

So here's something I've not shared on Twitter or anywhere else. Roscosmos is seriously considering bringing the crew of Soyuz MS-22 (including NASA's Frank Rubio) home early, as in a week or two. The rationale: The Soyuz flight computer is not overheating now, but the longer it remains on ISS without external cooling, that could change. They are also considering bringing up Soyuz MS-23 autonomously and jettisoning MS-22. No final decisions have yet been made. Meetings are ongoing.

@mjf_pro@hachyderm.io Thanks!

@ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org Honestly, it's just difficult to continue using Twitter after the purge of journalists.

Looks like I will be using this account, after all. Hi everyone!

NASA officials, including administrator Bill Nelson, are about to hold a media briefing following the mission management ream meeting for Artemis I. They're expected to say everything is on track for a launch attempt at 1:04am ET on Wednesday. Live:
