This is it: we’ve just wrapped up one of the most challenging steps of our journey to #UnfoldTheUniverse. With all five layers of sunshield tensioning complete, about 75% of our 344 single-point failures have been retired!

I feel strong emotions when two competitors of vastly different backgrounds work together for good in some way. It feels like a taste of what I hope heaven is. This made me very happy and a bit quiver-lipped. youtu.be/GjSCT97GSsA

This is the most beautiful thing I've watched in awhile. Watch Comet NEOWISE from the perspective of an Astronaut. Well done, @_TheSeaning ☄️

For a long time Myth Busters was my favorite show and Grant was one of my favorites! So incredibly intelligent and hysterical and worked on so many great projects. RIP Grant, wish the world had more time with you. Another reminder that every day’s a gift. hollywoodreporter.com/news/grant-ima…

Marie Curie died of aplastic anaemia on 4 July 1934, a result of years of exposure to radiation through her work. Even today her laboratory notebook from 1899-1902, is radioactive and will be for 1,500 years. #NobelPrize

Looks like massive #cellular outages all across the country. 🤔 News reports claim it’s #TMobile but my #Verizon cellular is down as well. You can check your network here: downdetector.com

When Isaac Newton stayed at home to avoid the 1665 plague, he discovered the laws of gravity, optics, and he invented calculus. It’s rumored that there was a strict “No TV” rule in his household.
