Also, people should be allowed to change registration entries if they are doing so well before the launch. Information about when the entry to the Launch View Gallery would be opened up is also required.

Hey @isro@twitter.com, asking people who came all the way to Sriharikota to watch the #Chandrayaan2 launch to re-register for the next one is not a great thing to do. Last time's passes should automatically be carried forward.

With the #Apollo50th anniversary approaching, of course I feature the #Apollo11 landing site on this week's #MoonMonday.
It's been 50 years since the Moon landing, I was not even born then, and yet I feel so inspired by the feat!

Seen here is the landing site for @NASA@twitter.com’s Apollo 11 spacecraft. On July 20, it will be 50 years since humans first landed on an extraterrestrial object.

I repeat: ISRO touting #Chandrayaan2 as a south pole landing mission is wrong. Conditions unique to polar regions (incl. permanently shadowed regions and longer sunlight periods) are prominent 80° onward, not ~70°.

Tune in as India takes a giant leap to where no country has gone before –– the Moon’s south polar region.

Would love to see professional, high-quality photos like @johnkrausphotos@twitter.com, @rbalephoto@twitter.com but of Indian rocket launches.

RT @1amnerd@twitter.com

Btw, people in Chennai: you'll be able to watch the launch from your rooftops, although not in much detail unless you have a pair of binoculars or something better. And for any photographers out there: if you take good pics, please consider placing them in the public domain 31/n

That space scientist is me. 😁
#Chandrayaan2 really is that important from an enabling technology point of view.

RT @1amnerd@twitter.com

or even criticism for that matter. To rephrase what one space scientist told me: if lander fails, we must go back to the launchpad; if the rover fails, it's a smaller problem but we must still go back to the launchpad; 27/n

#Chandrayaan2 is launching tonight for the Moon & I've written a detailed piece for @thewire_in@twitter.com @TheWireScience@twitter.com explaining the mission, the landing, science & how it fits in the global space context. Here you go! 🚀🌕

Hey @isro@twitter.com, the Earth and the Moon didn't form around a Black Hole..
Can't believe @isro@twitter.com got this wrong.. It's called the Sun.. :/

Which of these theories is correct? Is there a fifth alternative that no one else has considered? We are looking to find the answer to these questions and more through Chandrayaan 2 — the world’s first mission to the Moon’s south polar region!

Looks like @isro@twitter.com's XPoSat will have a friendly competitor in determining polarization of X-rays from bright sources.

SpaceX snags another launch contract from NASA, this time for the Imaging X-Ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) mission. Launch cost is at the low price of $50.3 million

ISRO has been touting #Chandrayaan2 as a south pole landing mission. But conditions unique to polar regions (incl. permanently shadowed regions) are prominent 80° onward, not ~70°. Claim of #Chandrayaan2 being the 1st mission to land in a polar region is wrong.

Seen here is the targeted landing site for India’s first ever soft landing Moon mission, Chandrayaan-2. The spacecraft will launch on July 15, 2019.

Did you know there is a legit ✨particle accelerator✨in the basement of the Louvre museum!? I heard about this a few years ago, and have been dying to see it ever since.

Well mes amis, yesterday I DID!

Hey @system76@twitter.com, any plans on shipping to India? There are many #FOSS enthusiasts here who will happily buy all the great hardware (and software) that you produce.

Keeping animals in Zoos is not right. The only justice to this problem is an advanced alien species captivating some humans and putting them in Interstellar Zoos. Would YOU sign up for it?
