"You can upload tracks... and more!"

Imagine a #SLS mobile album!

100% raw takes freash out of the brain juice still covered in cerebral goop songs!

Train wreck 🤣 I would regret so many songs that birth from me

But look #MastodonArtist needs #MutualAid

$1607 to cover Dec goals
Another $2600 needed for January

Now that we are reducing 〽️ the #cost 💵 of #SpaceAccess, we should be able to have more relevant goals that are of greater interest to #society.

NASA should consider commercial alternatives to its large Space Launch System rocket (SLS), inspector general says.

@arstechnica reports: "The most recent estimate is that it costs $2.2 billion to build a single SLS rocket, and this does not include add-ons such as ground systems, integration, a payload, and more."

#NASA #SLS is officially "Space Launch System" but has been derided as the "Senate Launch System". Congress ordered construction in 2010 for completion in 2016.

@spaceflight The article doesn't say what #SLS stands for (Space Launch System). Perhaps it is obvious, in the USA at least. (United States of America).
