Just got the email confirmation from SpaceX -- Starship's third test launch is set for tomorrow morning. Checked with the FAA, and yep, there's the launch license:

Reviewing the NASA budget proposal (all 800+ pages of it) and found this gem: “NASA is reviewing the results of the feasibility study performed with SpaceX and assessing potential next steps to boost the orbit and possibly enhance Hubble using private funding.”

So the Polaris Dawn boost is still on the table.

And if you want to READ about the Hubble tension, and JWST's confirmation of Hubble's findings, rather than watch a video, the post is now up: https://www.adastraspace.com/p/hubble-tension

Have you heard recently about discrepancies in the Hubble constant and are wondering what’s up?

I dive into the Hubble tension in my latest video.

Tackling a question today a bunch of people have been asking me over the past week: We landed on the moon 50 years ago. Why are we struggling so much now??

The answer is more complicated than you might think.

Do any of my people using Windows want an invitation to Arc for Windows? I use the browser on Mac and I love it. Apparently I have a couple of Windows invites to gift.

OKAY. Let’s break down what we’ve learned about the Intuitive Machines mission and talk about, given what we know, was it a success?

1/ After having tested it for some time, phanpy.social ( @phanpy ) is now my one and only #Mastodon client. The interface is sleek, and you can tell there's clear intentionality behind every single design choice.

First, look at how gorgeous nested replies look! I no longer struggle trying to decipher who's replying to what. And when you reach too many nested levels, a button gives you the choice to deploy them or not, to keep things clean.

TIL that the universe was opaque after the Big Bang, which is nothing I've ever thought about before, and I was all 🤯

Editing a 10-minute wrap-up video about Intuitive Machines to go up tonight (newsletter will not get sent out, but will be linked in next week’s news roundup and be available via RSS/on the website)

If I never say “laser range finders” again it will be too soon

I made a thing to help me find RSS feeds, and I really liked it. So I made it prettier so you can use it too, if RSS feeds are your thing.

As it turns out, in my corner of the fediverse there’s a ton of them…

Reminder: As we start getting closer to the April eclipse, places are going to start selling out of eclipse glasses (some already have!) I highly recommend you order some soon, and please don’t just get them off eBay or Amazon, fakes are a problem.
