#NASA prepares to launch #Artemis 1 in about an hour.

#Spinlaunch test-flings #NASA payload https://nu.federati.net/url/288048 [www iflscience com]
I wish they had estimated its launch velocity and peak altitude. I would like to see just how close they are to flinging satellites into space.

I watched the end of #NASA's recent DART mission on live stream. #GS3 watched also. He had plenty of "What's that?" questions about various objects in the camera view, including the boulders in the last few seconds' view.
I hope things like this feed his curiosity.

#NASA delays launch π of Artemis I due to #TropStorm #Ian (was #TD-9), which will be #Hurricane Ian by that time.

I also heard a weather forecaster saying that the name βFionaβ will be retired due to the level of damage caused by the storm β.

I somehow missed any mention of #NASA's "DART mission":{https://dart.jhuapl.edu/} until now, just days before impact.

> After several tense days of unfurling and clicking its various parts into place, the biggest and most sophisticated space telescope ever launched is now complete.
> On 8 January, NASAβs James Webb Space Telescope slowly swung the last 3 of its 18 hexagonal mirror segments into position, locking them together into one 6.5-metre-wide, gold-coated cosmic eye.

Wooohooo, they did it! Deep respect for everyone who made this ridiculously complex mission work as planned. Looking forward to years and years of new space history, both in the sense of history being made and past history being discovered.

#NASA changed the schedule of the #JWST James Webb Space Telescope's sunshield deployment in order to learn more about the way the spacecraft operates in space. They'd also gone late with extending mid-booms that will support the sunshield's kite-like shape. https://nu.federati.net/url/284292

#NASA James Webb Space Telescope (WST) links /via @clacke
1. Delayed launch: 2021-12-24 or later https://www.space.com/james-webb-space-telescope-launch-delay-december-24 and https://blogs.nasa.gov/webb/2021/12/14/webb-space-telescope-launch-date-update/
2. Delayed again: https://www.nasa.gov/feature/james-webb-space-telescope-launch-update
3. Some things that could go wrong with the WST: https://www.space.com/james-webb-space-telescope-deployment-points-of-failure
I haven't delved into it much. In particular, I have not sought out the answer to "Does the launch of the WST mean that the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) will be retired and deactivated?" ... It seems to me that if HST is still usable, they could benefit from running both simultaneously until HST is not longer usable. But then, I also favor investing money in rebuilding the big Arecibo radio telescope ... and adding smaller additional radio telescopes. When I visited the site, I left before dark, but if the site is dark enough and has clear skies often enough, I'd even be in favor of adding an advanced optical telescope.
If nothing else, they could add HST to the NASA Goldstone site's educational programs (I think schoolkids get to aim and monitor a radio telescope and get a lesson on interpreting the data received). I also still think some kind of networked "radiotelescope at home" project similar to the "SETI@Home" project (which runs on #BOINC) could be great for citizen science.

I've got the #NASA / #SpaceX stream open on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aymrnzianf0
#LaunchAmerica is the hashtag they are using to celebrate again having a launch on US soil.
I don't think this is really about nationalism ... it is more about getting US citizens excited, so they can push for greater funding for NASA and space exploration.

@moonman I don't know, but a lot of agencies have law enforcement subagencies. Even if #NASA itself cannot arrest, there could be an agreement with another agency.

@mike That's why #NASA films their moon landings in a hangar in TX. #conspjracy_theories
