"Very true, for the human world, yes I'm aware my mane is a mess, it happens when you sleep all day. I'm also a bit doped up on allergy medicine right now. Fortunately, the trees and plants around here are finishing up their yearly pollen orgy, so I should be fine tomorrow."

Tiny BurstCube's Tremendous Travelogue
Meet BurstCube! This shoebox-sized satellite is designed to study the most powerful explosions in the cosmos, called gamma-ray bursts. It detects gamma rays, the highest-energy form of light.
BurstCube may be small, but it had a huge journey to get to space.
First, BurstCube was designed and built at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. Here you can see Julie Cox, an early career engineer, working on BurstCube’s gamma-ray detecting instrument in the Small Satellite Lab at Goddard.
BurstCube is a type of spacecraft called a CubeSat. These tiny missions give early career engineers and scientists the chance to learn about mission development — as well as do cool science!
Then, after assembling the spacecraft, the BurstCube team took it on the road to conduct a bunch of tests to determine how it will operate in space. Here you can see another early career engineer, Kate Gasaway, working on BurstCube at NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia.
She and other members of the team used a special facility there to map BurstCube’s magnetic field. This will help them know where the instrument is pointing when it’s in space.
The next stop was back at Goddard, where the team put BurstCube in a vacuum chamber. You can see engineers Franklin Robinson, Elliot Schwartz, and Colton Cohill lowering the lid here. They changed the temperature inside so it was very hot and then very cold. This mimics the conditions BurstCube will experience in space as it orbits in and out of sunlight.
Then, up on a Goddard rooftop, the team — including early career engineer Justin Clavette — tested BurstCube’s GPS. This so-called open-sky test helps ensure the team can locate the satellite once it’s in orbit.
The next big step in BurstCube’s journey was a flight to Houston! The team packed it up in a special case and took it to the airport. Of course, BurstCube got the window seat!
Once in Texas, the BurstCube team joined their partners at Nanoracks (part of Voyager Space) to get their tiny spacecraft ready for launch. They loaded the satellite into a rectangular frame called a deployer, along with another small satellite called SNoOPI (Signals of Opportunity P-band Investigation). The deployer is used to push spacecraft into orbit from the International Space Station.
From Houston, BurstCube traveled to Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida, where it launched on SpaceX’s 30th commercial resupply servicing mission on March 21, 2024. BurstCube traveled to the station along with some other small satellites, science experiments, as well as a supply of fresh fruit and coffee for the astronauts.
A few days later, the mission docked at the space station, and the astronauts aboard began unloading all the supplies, including BurstCube!
And finally, on April 18, 2024, BurstCube was released into orbit. The team will spend a month getting the satellite ready to search the skies for gamma-ray bursts. Then finally, after a long journey, this tiny satellite can embark on its big mission!
BurstCube wouldn’t be the spacecraft it is today without the input of many early career engineers and scientists. Are you interested in learning more about how you can participate in a mission like this one? There are opportunities for students in middle and high school as well as college!
Keep up on BurstCube’s journey with NASA Universe on X and Facebook. And make sure to follow us on Tumblr for your regular dose of space!

"Greetings Tumblr, I'm Nightscar, a former general of the Equestrian Air Force during the war. I was a combat medic assigned to the EQN-2112 medical air ship, aka the Syrinx. We were a floating surgical ship with several smaller ships to transport the wounded back to us. We were kind of like the M*A*S*H units the humans use during war time. Feel free to ask me about missions, the war, the different departments, anything you feel like."

Y'all, the world is sleeping on what NASA just pulled off with Voyager 1
The probe has been sending gibberish science data back to Earth, and scientists feared it was just the probe finally dying. You know, after working for 50 GODDAMN YEARS and LEAVING THE GODDAMN SOLAR SYSTEM and STILL CHURNING OUT GODDAMN DATA.
So they analyzed the gibberish and realized that in it was a total readout of EVERYTHING ON THE PROBE. Data, the programming, hardware specs and status, everything. They realized that one of the chips was malfunctioning.
So what do you do when your probe is 22 Billion km away and needs a fix? Why, you just REPROGRAM THAT ENTIRE GODDAMN THING. Told it to avoid the bad chip, store the data elsewhere.
Sent the new code on April 18th. Got a response on April 20th - yeah, it's so far away that it took that long just to transmit.
And the probe is working again.
From a programmer's perspective, that may be the most fucking impressive thing I have ever heard.

Dear lovely,
I'm not actually worried about that weirdo phrasing it from nowhere like some ghost ninja. I can take care of that if I wanted to. Anyways, nuclear weapons are banned here. *gives a shrug*
What I meant are those supporters of yours. I thought it was really just between us. But they just had to appear like roaches.
I have practically nothing to lose, maybe my life, but worth it. See you in another life, my adversy. :) - BB
Well.. that didn't make a fat lot of sense.
there are a number of fact checks required.
"Anyways, nuclear weapons are banned here."
Equestria used mega spell weapons and balefire bombs. The radiation created by their detonation is magical in nature. I am unaware of a universe in which ponies built an atom bomb and used it in testing let alone warfare.
"What I meant are those supporters of yours. I thought it was really just between us."
Everything you have sent and responded to was posted publicly. Any entity across the multiverse is welcome to read and respond to my interactions. And while I usually discourage harassment, you are a special case.
"I have practically nothing to lose, maybe my life, but worth it."
I suppose I share the opinion that your life is not of great value, Mr. Blood, but that was a weird thing to say.
"See you in another life, my adversy. :) - BB"
My, you do think highly of yourself, don't you, Mr. Blood? I would hardly give you the respect of considering you an "adversary" of any sort. You're more like a fly buzzing around my empty inbox.
If I had any more asks they would take priority over anything you had to say.
My that was a lot of effort.
NOT
WORTH
IT,
by the way.

"I hate when that happens, because you know, the cinnamon roll character is probably gonna be in peril again, or some other form of torture"

I need your thoughts and prayers. All the characters in my book are happy and all the problems are resolved.....
BUT I'M ONLY 75% THROUGH THE BOOK 😭😭😭😭.

"The great thing about this is, BB is ignorant enough, and arogant enough, that he won't research dragons, and so will not know that, the roasted tail is only for dragon to dragon duels."

"Trust me, if my universe's BB wasn't minor royalty, he would be banned from my weekly open court. As it is, he is a huge annoyance and knows he is unwelcome. He still attends though, and I am waiting for him to annoy Smolder in such a way that she can, semi-legally, send his tail to Roastville as she says. The rules of dueling still apply to open court, and, tail burning is how our universe's dragons declare a duel to each other."
