Local newspaper front pages reporting on the Apollo 1 fire, 57 years ago this morning.

#Politics From Steve Kornacki of MSNBC over on Zombie Twitter ...

"We've never seen a gap between the independent vote and the Republican vote in an NH GOP primary like we saw last night. #Trump won R's by 49, Haley took independents by 22 -- a swing of 71 points. Previous high was 40."

#Politics The first results are in from the New Hampshire primary. Should #Trump concede? 😉

(The Dixville Notch vote ...)

#Space #SpaceCoast After that, it was over to the Center for Space Education to attend a National Space Society/Astronaut Memorial Foundation luncheon with guest speaker retired astronaut Tom Jones (no, not the singer).

#Space #SpaceCoast I popped into #KSCVC this morning to take some photos of the new Hyperdeck VR Experience. I didn't have time to play; reservations generally are required, but when I stopped in around 11 AM it was empty.

#AxiomSpace today will attempt to launch its third strictly private commercial crew mission atop a #SpaceX #Falcon9, from #NASA #KSC Pad 39A.

I just saw the mission patch. On the bottom, it says PLVS VLTRA.

@MLClark, I told ya that KSC+U is real! 😊

My personal "uh oh" was when I saw this on TV. I did a one-year internship in 1984-85 with the City of Anaheim. One of my projects was a new scoreboard.

The Angels wanted the board mounted on the overhang. The architects said no, the overhang can't hold the weight. I left before it was resolved, but clearly the Angels got their way.

When I saw this on TV, I contacted some news reporter friends and told them there's a memo somewhere documenting "We told you so." It eventually surfaced. (6/x)

SoCal had a minor quake in the last hour, 4.4 out in the ocean. Should be much ado about nothing.

Still photos of the #SpaceX #Falcon9 #Starlink launch as seen from North Merritt Island -- in and out of the clouds.

Passing through now ...

Another update from Astrobotic ... They believe Peregrine suffered a valve failure that ruptured the oxidizer tank.

The #SpaceCoast is under a Tornado Watch until 9 PM EST.

#Space #NASA #Artemis

A new update from Astrobotic on the fatally compromised Peregrine.

#Space #NASA #Artemis

The latest on Peregrine from Astrobotic on Zombie Twitter ... It looks like the spacecraft will lose power in 40 hours and will then tumble to its demise, wherever that might be.

Update from Astrobotic on Zombie Twitter.

Bad news from Astrobiotic. Looks like the mission will be lost.

Good news from Astrobiotic. Still working the anomaly but they've managed to start recharging Peregrine's solar battery.
