Dead on accurateā¦ SO flippinā cool! I have such a huge debt of gratitude to @ben_haldeman for the chance of a lifetimeā¦ @Firefly_Space ās Blue Ghost has been the catalyst for a whole new world of learnings, doings, and makingsā¦ AND ā¦ Iāve discovered the COOLEST folks along my own hackschooling journeyā¦ AMSAT being at the top of the listā¦ their community of āsignal chasersā makes me smileā¦ truly, truly lovely humans. āØš¤š«
#BGM1 to the point! Blue ghost just came above the horizon and is exactly where it was supposed to be expected... #AdLunam

It delights me to no end that my Dearest Nice Aunties are included in my Digital Lunar Payloadā¦ in 20-ish daysā¦ theyāll be on the ACTUAL Lunar surfaceā¦ and amongst the stars where they belong. I love this project so muchā¦ the crazy innovation and more importantly, the narrative & story behind this project. Art is universalā¦ is has a way of speaking to humanity as a wholeā¦ it transcends languages & borders and speaks to the heart of what it means to be human. I secretly believe that a ānice Auntieā is my final formā¦ Iāll get there one day and itāll be glorious āØāļøāØ

For downstate @michigantech Husky kiddos, there is a tradition of sending loved ones a picture of the Mackinaw Bridge upon arrival (the OBPā¦ obligatory bridge pic) when traveling to and from campusā¦ from that ādrive-by pic,ā folks at home know that theyāre either 5 hours till campus safely (going up) or, 3 hours and 12 minutes (in our case) from coming home & walking in the front doorā¦ as a parent, on those dangerous snowy/icy days, that wait for the OBP can be brutalā¦ Iād imagine there is a nervous-excited-emotions all over the map-anticipation there at Mission Controlā¦ much like a parent waiting for their baby to arrive safelyā¦ āØš¤š« And like a parent who has watched their Makerspawn leave the nest and flyā¦ we know how they were builtā¦ what their capabilities areā¦ how crazy resilient and well equipped they areā¦ we know theyāll land safely & on their feet & do the thing they were born to do! Godspeed & SoftLandings

*cues āLife is a Highwayā š¶* For those following along at home, @coastal8049 posted the pics of Blue Ghost revving the engines during its TLI (TransLunar Injection) a couple of hours agoā¦ Weāre at the number 8 mile marker on the Firefly roadmap en route to the āLunar circuitā leg of the journeyā¦ looking at the map, it is awe-inspiring to think about how well though-out, planned, and practiced this mission isā¦ the Ghost Rider Crew has been going through each step & rehearsing their actions in their sleep for ages Methinksā¦ each milestone marker serves both as āa has been accomplishedā and āa will be there soonā¦ā When looking up at the Moon, one may think itās a straight shotā¦ a point A to point B destinationā¦ the little dots of highway dashes folks follow sometimes get lost amongst the starsā¦ these moments in the āin-betweenā are much like chasing the ephemeral flickering of nighttime firefliesā¦ tiny sparks that remind us that we must be present to win if we want a chance at holding a lightning bug in the palm of our handā¦ or snapping the perfect picture of Earth from afarā¦ In 20-ish days, Blue Ghost will land on the Lunar Surfaceā¦ in that moment, the map gets handed off to the next pioneering souls headed out that wayā¦ The Ghost Rider lore becomes a landmark for futuredwellers & a dot on the highway of human Space explorationā¦ āØš¤š« Godspeed and SoftLandings
Blue Ghost has "merged" onto the highway to the Moon! After a successful Trans Lunar Injection burn, our lander has left Earth's orbit and begun its 4 day transit to the Moon's orbit. We'll then spend approximately 16 days in lunar orbit before we begin Blue Ghost's descent. This gives us plenty of time to calibrate our navigation system and continue payload science operations for @NASA. #BGM1

Heads up Blue Ghost folksā¦ if youāre not following Scott, I highly recommend his account. Iāve learned SO much from his meanderings. āØš¤š«
BLUE GHOST Trans-Lunar Injection (TLI) occurs within within the hour over the western Pacific Ocean. The telescope is on standby to observe it just after it emerges from the burn. The Moon awaits and gave me a chance to glimpse the landing site in Mare Crisium.

On an off chance any of you may know someone in pediatrics with a specialty in IDCSā¦ this family is looking for a touch from the Divine and it is my prayer that this youngmaker is healed. Let it be written, let it be said. āØš¤š« PayItForward
Itās been a tough few weeks. My 10yo daughter was diagnosed with a very rare, aggressive cancer called interdigitating dendritic cell sarcoma (IDCS). Iām reaching out to identify clinicians/patients who have encountered pediatric IDCS, indeterminate dendritic cell histiocytosis or other (non-LCH) histiocytic sarcomas cases. I'm trying to understand non-surgical chemo and targeted therapy options, new pathology markers to better diagnose subtypes/treatments, and any data on progression in pediatric patients. Please feel free to share ā Iām trying to cast a wide net due to the rarity of this condition and how little is known. People can contact me directly at my first name (as written in my profile) at

Currently on my Deskā¦ 1) What @boomaero and @bscholl did is frickinā cool and should inspire us allā¦ everyday, ordinary folks building AMAZINGā¦ not b/c they have to BUT simply b/c they have the skills, grit, and determination to do soā¦ they build because they CAN! This is the way Folks, *THIS* is the wayā¦ 2) Also, all the cool kids collect SWAG from HumansDoingCoolThingsā¦ *sips coffee* TrueStory āØāļøāØ MissionPatchPinAndStickerAddicted

Science fiction author Jules Verne was born #OTD in 1828. His 1865 novel "From the Earth to the Moon" featured a gigantic cannon in Florida that fired a capsule around the Moon. (He got the Florida part right!) Listen to an excerpt:
