Underscoring the point himself during his recent dispute with #Trump, #Musk threatened to decommission a #SpaceX spacecraft the US now relies upon to transport #astronauts & critical cargo.

Laid-back in orbit, they found their minds.
They found their minds were very clean and clear.
Clear crystals in swarms outside were their fireflies and larks.
Larks they were in lift-off, swallows in soaring…

Just in one of those moods where the mind wanders to space art, and this rendition for NASA of astronauts rappelling down into the Valles Marineris is particularly fine (yes, the Red Planet gets ice fog; it's more Earth-like than you think over there...).
Some time back I posted a link to this article about a Northrup Grumman study of a lunar train. I used a lot of the same reasoning about dust when I came up with a lunar train concept in 1979, and I just found this concept model I built of a freight boxcar. I did a lot of drawings and made notes, but the model is (amazingly) all that survives.
Oooh, they were transmitting on the last pass over Canada. 10 minutes ago. #hamradio #ISS #astronauts
Ah, the Apollo "8-Ball" FDAI—a fancy spinning globe that told #astronauts which way was up, because apparently, navigating a spacecraft without a magic eight-ball was *too mainstream*.
Let's dive deep into vintage technology that somehow managed to keep astronauts alive while looking like it belonged in a 60s rec room.

"Ironbound’s most recent #film, released this year, is Fiddler on the Moon, about #Jewish #astronauts.
