Space memes, fusion schemes, and x-fundie dreams Recurrent laryngeal nerve's #1 defender
I will tolerate recurrent laryngeal nerve slander no longer! It's actually the result of several elegant solutions to difficult problems in embryology, and the length is a non-issue. A 🧵 1/13
My meager education in biology and evolution gave me the mistaken impression that evolution optimized everything. But it didn't. One example is the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN). It goes from behind your ear, loops down below your aorta, and then back up to the voice-box 1/2
Having evidence makes all the difference in the world
Love how this guy has managed to become a big meme twice in two completely different eras of the internet
The reason putting a date on the end of the Roman Empire is so hard is because it's like if the Ship of Theseus was slowly converted into a gift shop.
Kinda funny to watch Starship haters stuck in the same pessimism trap as "Artemis I is perpetually delayed and won't actually ever launch" people back in the day.
There is no better symbol of NASA's waning (and private companies' rising) power then the HLS landers that will set new records for size being mostly paid for by the companies themselves.
A reminder that if/when they successfully land Blue Moon Mk1- it will immediately take the record as the largest craft to ever land on the moon. Beating out the Apollo lunar module, and Mk1 is just the prototype for what’s to come. It is an absolute unit.

We've finally achieved personal flight while looking like you're sitting backward on the toilet
Excited to share this raw flight footage including take-off and landing, all with real sound. No special effects, no CGI, no AI, pure engineering. Enjoy the future! Volonaut Airbike is a fully functional real-world "speeder bike" that so far only existed in sci-fi movies.
In Trump's America the only legal source of income is being on drugs
Trump: We will have reduced drugs prices by a 1000%, 1100, 1200, 1300, 1400… Not 30 or 50%,

Flight attendant approaches "Would you like another complementary meal?" "Got anything other than breakfast?" I ask in a half-joking tone. "Nope" she replies. I cry a tear from business class.
At Mach 1.7, Overture outflies Earth’s rotation. So you can have breakfast in London… and fly to New York… for breakfast. And then to San Francisco just in time for breakfast. In fact if you just keep flying west you can keep having breakfast indefinitely.
I still can't believe the Boeing Crew Flight Test had such bad renders for the livestream.
Man I don't know why this one capsule build took me so long to finally fly with crew in Kerbal.
