I just discovered the quote: "We can lick gravity, but sometimes the paperwork is overwhelming" - Wernher von Braun. And frankly... I never want to find out the context of this so it can just stand by its absurd little self.

To those following the #Chandrayaan3Landing - be aware the time zone is GMT +5:30. That half hour has tripped me up more than once.

Important question: If you were to have people dress up as stars, what colour would you put main sequence stars in if white, blue and red is already taken? I'm torn between green and yellow. #ScienceTwitter #space #astronomy

Good news, but the former florist in me is particularly tickled. I spent far too many years saying "please don't put daffodils near children, pets or even other flowers - they are made of poison", and now they could help cut a major GHG. apple.news/A3s5X3aTgRqG93OQK…

Went to see this at the weekend and was totally blown away! Incredible acting, music, staging, design, choreography - everything. Would be going again to see it again if I could. Please go see it if you can (because I really need them to do a cast recording).

Fascinating interview with Paula Cain, a thermal blanket technician at NASA. The seamstresses who work on sewing space hardware are fantastically skilled - the precision they need is mind boggling, and there's zero room for error. youtu.be/oGCYc-RkMdQ

Related: the Apollo space suits were sewn by ILC Dover, a company best known for their Playtex women's underwear brand. Stitches had to be accurate to 1/32-inch (0.7mm). If it was off it couldn't be resewn - the whole section might have to be thrown out.
