Thales Alenia Space has told me that they'll share a statement early next week. I personally think this delay is a catastrophic PR failure, but I am still interested in what they have to say. I also think that while NASA Administrator Isaacman was clearly right on the facts, it was the wrong form and forum for that information, and his choice not to share the corrective measures being implemented is baffling.
ESA has confirmed corrosion issues with HALO and I-HAB but pushed back against claims that these were the primary cause of delays to the station's development

Testing is officially underway for the @KatalystSpace mission to boost @NASA’s Swift.
Katalyst’s LINK spacecraft has arrived at @NASAGoddard to begin environmental testing ahead of efforts to raise the Swift Observatory back to its original orbit this summer. Extending Swift’s lifetime will allow it to continue exploring our dynamic universe and drive new capabilities for space exploration.

@zanehengsperger And so I went to Cernan and astronauts from all of the Apollo missions and got their signatures of tribute to SpaceX. It was a birthday gift to Elon and hangs the entryway at SpaceX HQ. Armstrong made 60 Minutes publish a retraction too. Details: steve.blog/2012/07/11/the…
@Robotbeat Still feels like a bit of a leap to go from ~year long missions to 3 years for Mars? I know there are some small experiments but we otherwise don't really know the effect of Martian gravity.
Melt. Extract. Breathe. Repeat. 🧑🚀
From Moon dust to fresh air, our Air Pioneer technology turns lunar regolith into breathable oxygen, ready for astronauts returning to the Moon. At our Space Resources Center of Excellence in LA, we developed a reactor (left) that melts regolith simulant and passes a current through it to release oxygen and other gases. The gases flow into the purification system (right) and emerge as medical- and propellant-grade oxygen. A flight-qualified Air Pioneer at this same scale could provide the first breath of life for a sustainable Moon base. 🌕
@wasatch_wind@SofaMods@eightballmarcos When you say artificial do you mean it was bottled or something, or just that the source was some guy's project? Because the latter doesn't bother me at all
