If only there were a Nobel Prize for heckling

🤣

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

what a night

After the Avro Arrow was cancelled, which may have been the most advanced fighter jet in the world at the time, Canadians were recruited to join NASA and build their space agency. Time to bring that same brilliance home…

Canada better beef up border security with Alaska.

Chinese startup Longyuan Space is exploring an intriguing booster recovery concept! Instead of landing legs, a mobile, active cradle—Octagrabber—would catch and secure the returning booster. Could this offer a new path to rapid rocket reusability?

Looking Back: China's Shenzhou-22 crewed spacecraft silhouetted against the blazing Sun ☀️ A spectacular moment capturing the precision of China's human spaceflight programme, as a symbol of human ambition cuts across our nearest star. 🌞🌌 #Shenzhou #ChinaSpace #SpaceExploration

Good morning At least we have this to look forward too

There's nothing quite like watching a rocket launch from your bedroom window! 🚀 Today's CERES-1 Y8 rocket lifts off just offshore from Rizhao, China, offering a spectacular view from the comfort of home.

WITKOFF TO PUTIN (yes, that Putin): “You talk so much about Trump being a humanitarian — you are a humanitarian also, sir. I salute that. I commend you.” 🤯 we are so cooked. Russia was never a hoax.

A new China Global Television Network (CGTN) documentary, Countdown at Sea, tells the story of a commercial rocket launch team in China facing a high-stakes race against an approaching typhoon as they prepare for an offshore mission.

ZhuQue-2E Y4 Launch Mission Recap. Another awesome video production from LandSpace!

🚀 On this day in 2003, Yang Liwei became China’s first astronaut in space, launching aboard Shenzhou-5. The historic mission made China the third nation to independently send a human into orbit, marking a major milestone in its space programme.

A Bombardier Global 7500 business jet now carries a system that warns of incoming heat-seeking missiles and points an infrared beam at them to send them off course. Europe’s aviation safety agency has approved the installation. defence-blog.com/europe-certi...

United States of America is official sponsor of Russia's illegal genocidal invasion of Ukraine. Till April 7 2027 at least.

I am angry tonight. Because tonight ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car. ICE makes this city less safe. We want them out. Now.

Trump has no plan. He's just a psychopath.

Congratulations to lawyer and human rights activist Navanethem “Navi” Pillay on her Nobel Peace Prize. Few have devoted their lives to justice, peace and human dignity like she did.

If only.

All those veterans being purged from the military? They're on our side now.

Robert De Niro, Yesterday.......👏🏻

China carried out a record 70 rocket launch missions in the first nine months of 2026, up by about 19 percent from a year earlier, as its commercial space industry accelerated mass production, advanced reusable rocket technology and expanded satellite services overseas. #ChinaSpace #ChinaSpaceLaunch

The war has been going on for 7 months now btw

We had the Girl Guides in this morning. Delighted to announce that they all left with a new badge! Well done. #SafetyFirst

Pathetic…..

For "Nebraska," Bruce wanted music that felt like "a waking dream" and a record that moved like "poetry." The 1982 acoustic LP is both, and it endures as one of his most seminal works — 44 years after its release.

Chinese startup Z-TRAK SPACE is developing Fission, an Electron-class reusable small launcher powered by 9 Tron-001 methalox engines. Each produces 3.2t sea-level thrust and throttles to 18% for landing. Fission targets 450kg to LEO, or 200kg reusable.

China plans to complete a new global geologic map of Mars by 2028, using Tianwen-1 data plus U.S./ESA observations. It will reconstruct Mars’ watery past, introduce a Chinese geologic time scale and use AI to map everything from minerals to tectonic units.

CBC leaves out important context: Stelco is owned by U.S.-based Cleveland-Cliffs. An American parent is restructuring its Canadian operations while citing American tariffs. The Canadian job losses are real. So is that context. 🔗 www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

ORIENSPACE accelerates its rocket engine testing program: fresh footage shows another extended hot-fire trial of the Yuanli-110 kerolox engine, designed for the reusable Gravity-2 launcher.

The U.S. Air Force signed up to $20.7 billion for AMRAAM, the missile fighter jets use to hit enemy aircraft beyond visual range. Sixteen other countries are buying through the same deal. defence-blog.com/raytheon-to-...
