Dare I ask about this story!?!

I don’t *love the idea of something trying to possibly eat me 😅🧸😳

Yeah, I suppose I'm making a LOT of technology assumptions for crewed travel... just curious if it's being considered to shave off some of that ~2-years on the surface/ orbit to wait for the return window.

Agreed! Go lil’ spacecrafts, GO! Enjoy your long cruise. I hope our fellow Mars robots are ready for some new friends.

Bald Mountain Fire, correct?

Nice!!!! I’m definitely gearing up tonight. I think I’m going to try my luck on Skyline Drive (north of Sperryville). That gives me a bunch of west- and east- facing overlooks. I’m guessing astros will have their cameras set up, so maybe it will be a fun, nerdy evening 🤞🤞 Good luck tonight!
