Watching the booster get caught by the tower never gets old. Fucking amazing.
Every time I watch those videos my brain tricks me into thinking it must be CGI/AI. My brain just can't comprehend that it is actually real because it doesn't seem like it should be possible. I don't know if anyone else experiences that.

Current NASA cut proposal would risk canceling the Roman space telescope among other science related programs. Not sure if this could endanger the dragonfly mission as well. Hopefully Congress reigns this in and stops the cuts

Blue origin launched the first all-female crew into space.

Since it included both Katy Perry and Lauren Sanchez, I can't help but feel the opportunity to show the behavior of unrestrained giant boobs in zero-G was missed.
