If NASA published these I would totally buy a book about Artemis II and a coffee table book of the many incredible photos from that mission.

i’m not being mean or anything like congrats to everyone but i met one of these women and how poor and ruined her life was after she freshly fled in her car. her nerves were shot.

Let it be known that Katherine Johnson was the reason for the first astronauts in space.

And now Vanessa Wyche, head of the Johnson Space Center and NASA's highest ranking civil servant, is the responsible for the longest manned space flight in history

Agreed, although that would be extremely difficult because a bit part of the reason that these AAC apps cost so much is the licensing for icon packs and voice packs.

Basically impossible for an individual. A non-profit org could, but we live in the worst economic climate with respect to funding.

“Created by two dads, inspired by their non-speaking kids’ journeys using AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication). Our hope is to shine a light on the ways we communicate beyond speech.” 🙌🏻💕

(As a parent of an autistic, slightly-speaking kiddo who uses an AAC, this hits right in the heart.)

Official Launch Trailer for The House of Hikmah | Arrives April 8th, 2026 YouTube video by Lunacy Studios

I've wished for Arab-made games about Arab mythology for so long, and despite assisting on the project I still can't believe there's one swinging for the fences this hard. House of Hikmah is something very needed in a time where the world would rather erase us.

I wrote THE book about The Design and Engineering of Curiosity: How the Mars Rover Performs Its Job. And because space robot design is conservative, it’s a pretty good resource for both the Perseverance rover and the Dragonfly Titan quadcopter. link.springer.com/book/10.1007...

Clenched my teeth so hard through the end fight in Invincible s4e5 that my jaw kinda hurts now.

The Artemis II mission will be piloted by Victor Glover, who will fly further into space than any Black person has before. Christina Koch, a white woman, will be flying the furthest into space that a woman has ever flown before.

The mission is a test run for a future moon landing trip.

My superpower at work is a combination of over a decade of institutional memory/knowledge and being able to search Slack & wikis real fucking good.

My team has been using Miro for diagramming systems, architectures, and flows. Collaborative, browser-based, and lets you annotate with Post-It notes. I like it a lot.

This isn’t complicated.

@gameonysus.bsky.social @cado.bsky.social @robzacny.bsky.social your chat about AI on the latest podcast reminded me – if you haven’t seen it yet, this is such a great meditation on generative AI and what it means to be human and make art
