HAPPY 4th of JULY! 🇺🇸
Happy 250th birthday, America! We got you a present. 🇺🇸

Watch a 232-foot rocket fall from space - then get caught mid-air msn.com/en-us/news/technolog…
This rocket catch blows my mind every time I see it. Innovation, research, engineering, and thousands of skilled hands make miracles everyday. Your work is nothing short of remarkable.

The Maldives has enforced this law since 11/2025. New Zealand was the precursor, passing it in 2022, but repealed it in 2024. Turkmenistan achieved a total ban by the end of 2025, and Bhutan banned tobacco in 2004 before legalizing it again in 2021.

What’s happening?
The destruction of stone.
Slow, massive geological formations grow over millions of years, creating a permanent system to regulate the atmosphere.
Fast, massive extraction for minerals (mining) breaks those formations down in just a few decades.
By breaking down the Earth's crust, we are essentially undoing the geological work that stabilized our climate millions of years ago.

Peace to his soul.
I was lucky to go hiking to ABC in 1998.
Like our astronauts on the far side of the moon today, he was one of the first to climb on the farthest point on Earth.
On this day, 1963.05.01; First American ascent of Mt #Everest (8848.86 m) was achieved by Seattle climber Jim Whittaker, accompanied by Nepali climber Nawang Gombu Sherpa. Photo ©: Jim Whittaker Archives.

Earth is still the most beautiful planet we know 🌙
"We can see the Moon out of the docking hatch right now. It's a beautiful sight."
Flight day 3 is in the books, and our @NASAArtemis II crew is now closer to the Moon than to Earth. Check out highlights from our lunar mission. What’s been your favorite moment so far?

We know that our bodies evolved for millions of years with gravity. Without gravity pulling the brain down, it shifts upward in the skull, which can impair the areas that control vision and speech.
We also know that in space, fluids that normally stay in the lower body move toward the head. Experts say that it increases intracranial pressure and can cause sudden neurological symptoms.
Also, while tests ruled out a full stroke, suddenly losing the ability to speak could mirror a mini-stroke.
Since Mike Fincke has nearly two years of total space time, his body has indeed been reversed for a long period of time.
Astronauts embody the very essence of heroism!
