The hardest part about recovering from many months in space isn't the physical part (that is relatively easy). It is the administrative and paperwork things! getting my bills paid, safety inspection on car (I got a ticket), lawn cleaned up etc.

Finding a million asteroids!
- I am an astronaut stranded on Earth!
- Replying to @charlesbaronIt was easier to just pay it then argue about it!
- @b612foundation has taken the orbit and uncertainty of asteroid 2024YR4, sampled 10K trajectories from the current uncertainty, and propagated them forward. 2.3% of those hit the Earth on Dec.22, 2032. Here is where they hit.
- Could you imagine taking a picture like this?
- Replying to @LeoLabs_SpaceThis is a potentially serious event. It is between 2 large objects and at high altitude, 991km. If there is a collision there will be lots of debris which will remain in orbit for a long time.
- Replying to @astroEdLu and @b612foundation
- I think this upcoming launch of @SpaceX Starship is incredibly important as the ultimate success of the Starship program will change our future in space.
- A Chinese rocket launched 18 satellites for the G60 constellation and broke up in orbit releasing over 700 debris fragments. Unfortunately this debris over the next few years will be making its way downwards through the orbits of ISS and Starlink. @LeoLabs_Space🚨 We’re actively monitoring and analyzing the breakup event in #LEO involving a Chinese rocket body, CZ-6A. Our radar data indicates this event occurred on 6 August at ~20:10 UTC at ~810 km. It resulted in at least 700 debris fragments and potentially more than 900.
- Replying to @DJSnMThe procedures didn't have you set a timer, but often when waiting for a step we would set a timer then attend to something else.
- So the name of the game is to find asteroids decades before they hit the Earth. This makes deflecting them relatively "easy".
- Years ago I flew into Oshkosh in a NASA T38 and ATC was unable to contact an arriving U-2. So I got to be the relay comm to the U-2 giving him clearance to land. Good times!It’s a beautiful day for a U-2 arrival. 😉 (Especially when captured from above.) Dragonlady has made it to Oshkosh! #OSH25
00:00 - Did you know the rate of spacecraft launches is growing as fast as computing power (Moore's Law)? Both double about every 2 years. The implications for space are huge if this continues. A Moore’s Law for space - SpaceNews
