NASA’s $4 billion rocket is going to weather a Category 1 hurricane on the launch pad. Here’s why the decision on whether or not to roll back was a difficult one.

Come for the space talk, stay for the #StargateAtlantis reference!

I'm going to be one of the journalists on the Weekly Space Hangout today at 5pm PST / 8pm EST.

My stories will talk about mapping #meteorites on a molecule scale and what's up with the #Psyche mission.

Tip for the new folk:
Often Mastodon’s features work the way they do because it was first populated by people who had been harassed on FB and the Birdsite.

For instance (not sorry), you cannot search Masto for a simple term. Only #hashtags. Say you’re having a private conversation about iguanas. Anti-iguana trolls will not be able to search for “iguanas”, find your conversation, and drop into it to say, “Iguana luvers suck!”

But if you are wanting to connect with new iguana fanciers on Mastodon, slipping an #iguanas hashtag somewhere into your posts will allow people to search for and find them.
