Blue Ghost is on the moon!
We have confirmation #BlueGhost stuck the landing! Firefly just became the first commercial company in history to achieve a fully successful Moon landing. This small step on the Moon represents a giant leap in commercial exploration. Congratulations to the entire Firefly team, our mission partners, and our @NASA customers for this incredible feat that paves the way for future missions to the Moon and Mars.
Standby for the first image, expected in the next 30 minutes! #BGM1

The paper is out:
“A new launch pad failure mode: Analysis of fine particles from the launch of the first Starship orbital test flight.”
Thanks to all who collected samples, pics, & videos! We will build better lunar landing pads because of your effort.

But they're BOTH so OLD! Gandalf can barely remember his passwords and even forgot that people called him Gandalf (yikes), while Saruman betrayed the Free Peoples of middle-earth and led an insurrection that stormed Helm's Deep. You can see how they're equally bad choices.

For 50 years, physicists have understood current as a flow of charged particles. But a new Rice-led experiment has found that in at least one strange #material, this understanding falls apart, @QuantaMagazine reports.
