@MSNBC @CNN @FoxNews -- We are trying to ascertain why the chopper crash story is national news. There is little damage, only one person killed, some traffic tie ups but beyond that little local impact and no national impact. So, again, why is this a national story?

Starlink mission will be heaviest @SpaceX payload ever at 18.5 tons. If all goes well, each launch of 60 satellites will generate more power than Space Station & deliver 1 terabit of bandwidth to Earth.

@ReliableSources -- Well, isn't she just the sweetest thing. What she doesn't understand is outlawing abortions will not stop abortions, it will just drive them underground and endanger women's lives. The answer is education.

Well, after a pretty bad week, SpaceX ended up having a pretty good day today. They successfully delivered CRS-17 to an ISS intercept trajectory, and landed their booster on the drone ship just off the coast of KSC with some awesome IR shots of the landing burn. Congrats, Elon.

An Israeli spacecraft crashed into the moon Thursday just moments before touchdown. The spacecraft lost communication with ground control during its final descent. Moments later, the mission was declared a failure. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said "We will try again."

Congrats to everyone involved with capturing this very first ever photo of a black hole. Sad that Prof Hawking left us just shortly before this event, he would have been ecstatic.

Q&A: Fueled by methane, when Starship takes off will Florida smell like someone [passed gas]? :) Short answer? No. Methane is odorless. Sewer gas is mixed with other gases, i.e. hydrogen sulfide (H2S) which creates the rotten egg smell. KSC cafeteria food, on the other hand...
