“I study plume-surface interactions in vacuum microgravity” -wordy -technical jargon -why do we care? “Let‘s figure out how to land your spaceship safely” -promotes exploration -concerned for your well-being -apparently you have a spaceship

One other point about cosmology: If you believe God is remaking the world through Christ, if you believe in New Creation, you really don't care very much about holding on to the old order of things.

To be more specific, I post analog stuff over on Insta (at)wesleychambers, and mostly digital (at)wachambe.

Given today’s technical difficulties, seems like a good time to mention again that I’m also over on the photo-sharing app if you’d like to stay in touch. Or see photos.

A trio of images to highlight #BepiColombo's 3rd #MercuryFlyby, featuring a newly named crater and various geological and tectonic curiosities. Enjoy this first-look taste of our flyby! Details & images👉esa.int/Science_Exploration/… #ExploreFarther
Three images side-by-side showing a portion of Mercury from close-up and progressively wider views as the spacecraft moves away. Part of the spacecraft's antenna is also visible in the field of view

#Mercury is in our sights as we speed towards tonight's close #MercuryFlyby! This image was taken just a few hours ago at 10:32 UT/12:32 CEST from a distance of about 121 000 km. 📷esa.int/ESA_Multimedia/Image… #BepiColombo #ExploreFarther

Not all who wander are lost…but I am. 🗺️ Whoops! Planning is an important step for any adventure. One does not simply walk into the backcountry unprepared. Plan enough and, over time, it will become hobbit.

It was fun to meet @wachambers IRL today for the first time, grabbing lunch at Pasta Jay’s in Boulder! We had great conversations about science, theology, hiking/travel, and more. Twitter can often be a dumpster fire, but real-life connections made through here redeem it some. :)

Denver area folks, couple questions: 1. What’s your favorite coffee shop? Restaurant? Anything else that can’t be missed? In Boulder a couple days but might be more flexible later this week. 2. Like, how do you get anything useful done when the mountains are *right there*?
