This morning I criedโฆbecause a fight Iโve been in for so long found justice
Friends, in the United Methodist Church, starting May 4, we no longer say that being gay is a sinโฆand no longer ban LGBT from serving as ministers
I canโt believe itโฆbut itโs done.
Praise be to God.
And just like that: the 304.3 language added that said "the practice of homosexuality is incompatible with Christian teaching" and "self-avowed practicing homosexuals" are not to be clergy are REMOVED from the

While we definitely have some differing beliefs,
@RepKinzinger
is one of the best statesmen in America and I have long admired his integrity at approaching the countryโs issues and staying away from the grifting. Thanks Congressman.

Space Twitter should be rooting for
@SenMarkKelly
for VP. The VP has a lot to do with space policy. He would be transformative for US space policy.
Shapiro is more strategic because the Dems canโt afford to lose PA, but the space guy in me wants Kelley.
Hot Nozzle Summer was an absolute success and honestly one of the coolest things Iโve ever been apart of. A fantastic group of people! Amateur rocketry is back!
As I sit here in this airport Chilis, I canโt help but hope that one day thereโs spaceport Chiliโsโฆso people can make sure to get their baby back ribs before their trip to Mars.
Dear Space Twitter and
@HotNozzleSummer
folks,
Thanks for the ride.
And special thanks to my friend
@jennakaycosmic
who without this wild ride would have never happened.
It been an absolute pleasure to be apart of this team and founding this organization together. What started as a meme has become a unexpected and marvelous reality. Together, we present to you the Not Nozzle Society...and we are working to make rocketry and aerospace accessible.
๐จBuilding on the incredible momentum from this Summer, weโre expanding! HNS isnโt just a one time event: weโre a community that provides rocketry for ALL. Summer may be over but our nozzles are just heating up. Presenting the OFFICIAL Hot Nozzle Society.

Very proud of HNS friends and acquaintances at

whose hard work has made this happen through their commitment to the future. Congratulations to you all! Good luck for Monday.

Man, Iโm kinda getting afraid that people are gonna be upset when we tell them HNS22 is really just the friends we made along the way.

@PortlandMENerd
Not quite...more like 2-3. But, Apollo was expensive. However, Project Apollo advanced technology 30 years in 8 years. It was a huge advancement without which the modern world we live in would literally not be possible.
You know youโre friends with
@jennakaycosmic
when you have $300 worth of plastic balls for a ball pit in the back of your car that you realize you now have to store somewhere.
Seriously impressed by what the students at
@CU_SRL
are doing!! Theyโre an unbelievably motivated and dedicated group pulling together a rocket program out of nothing.
Spitter: I legitimately do not even know Jack...or what is happening with Jack...or who or what is a Jack. The more I say the word Jack in my head, the weirder it sounds.
Iโm having a quiet moment sitting in my chair looking at the stars knowing that Iโm camping with 100+ of some of the best young minds in the world that will make the stars accessible for everyoneโฆHNS is one of the deep honors of my life.
#HNS22
Itโs pretty funny that the right wingers who grift for views and money are upset that a fellow right wing grifter would have the audacity to grift them for views and money. Itโs like a thief being upset when he breaks into a house and another thief beat him to stealing the TV.
Negotiations ended amicably. Then he called weeks after the fact and secretly recorded the conversation so that he could pull this stunt. Itโs one of the lowest things Iโve ever seen in this business. A total betrayal of his friends and people whoโve supported and helped him.
(1/2) I empathize with the vaccine choice debate. But, what is left out commonly is that by choosing not to vaccinate, it effects the general public's right to general welfare. It also effects their economic status. We mandate car insurance on the same...
I canโt wait for when in 20 years all my HNS friends are program managers at NASA and I can roast them so hard on Twitter during their press conferences.
Am I the only one on Space Twitter who doesnโt actually know who runs all these space Twitter alt accounts? Probablyโฆand I like it that way. I embrace the mystery.
So today I got my L1 certification! I launched Dawn on a H135, and it was a perfect flight. It landed just outside of the range and I couldnโt have been happier!!!! Shoutout to
@Jenna_Foertsch
and
@PattMattrick
for setting this up and thanks

Brother Mark, again I say go in peace in the name of Jesus. Let go. If youโve exited the UMC, then exitโฆfor your own sanity and your own sake.
As a pastor, I have learned to always resist making a photo op out of helping people in need. We can certainly celebrate good things we have done as a church, but there's a line you shouldn't cross.
After our father left us, we were on welfare for years. Well-intentioned charities delivered food/clothes & took our picture. We were embarrassed to be "that welfare family."
That is why our assistance to kids goes through the teacher to the parent. It's about dignity.
Iโm gonna echo others who have said this. Itโs time for a G7 meeting now to propose an ASAT test ban treaty. LEO must be protected and should be a high national priority.
Iโm praying for peace as war begins in Eastern EuropeโฆMay God be with the men and women of the Ukrainian military as they defend themselves from an evil invasion. But tonight, I also pray for Russia, because my Lord says I must love my enemies as well. Very hard to do tonight.
(2/2) legal principle. You do not have the right to choose not to have car insurance if you drive because it effects the public's safety and financial wellbeing. America is founded on the principle of having freedom to do whatever you'd like, but not at the expense of others.
This right here. This is the kind of change that I desire and HNS desires for the aerospace industry. Yโall engineers and other space professionals work hard and you deserve to get paid whatโs fairโฆand that starts with transparency systems that help you negotiate.
HNS believes in salary transparency as it allows you to be a more informed employee and negotiate the pay you deserve. This is a free salary database that doesn't require jumping through hoops and only takes a few minutes to fill out! ๐งต (1/2)
(Reposted with better photo) My L1 rocket is finished! I present to you the โTrue Love,โ named after the ship my English ancestors traveled on in 1635 from England. (Vinyl lettering will be put on soon.) I think the color scheme turned out great!

Two Claremore, Oklahoma boys at KSC today. I made sure to take a photo with Stuart Roosa, CMP of Apollo 14, everywhere I could. His patch, Hall of Fame plaque, and Command Module are all at KSC. It reminds me that if a boy from Claremore, OK can go to the moon I can do anything.
Iโm so incredibly proud to announce that this summers event will take place in the Western Hemisphere. Incredibly exciting stuff. Great work team. Proud of you.
Iโm going to very kindly ask everyone to stop making jokes about the missing Titanic submarine.
Thereโs real human beings and their families that are facing the possibility of an unimaginable tragedy.
Itโs just not the time.
Regardless of my religious convictions on the death penalty, there is probably enough doubt in this case for acquittal, let alone capital punishment. This is wrong. I call upon
@GovStitt
to immediately grant clemency to Julius Jones and commute his sentence away from death. (1/2)
I loved meeting
@notaxation
and
@iznir3
this weekend in Santa Monica for an episode of Fireside Chats. They are wonderful and hospitable people. Thanks again guys!
Everyone should send prayers and good vibes that Oklahoma does NOT have wind sweeping down the plains on Sunday so I can attempt my Tripoli L1 certification.
#HotNozzleSummer
As it is pride month, I want to reiterate publicly my firm conviction that LGBT people are created of sacred worth and are entitled to equal rights in civil society and should be granted full rights to marry and be ordained as ministers within the life of the church.
Donโt do this.
The United States held an election in 1864 in the middle of a brutal war. Lincoln wouldโve abided by the results had he lost.
Holding that election is one of our greatest moments.
โก๏ธPoll: 62% of Ukrainians favor postponing elections until after war.
62% of Ukrainians believe that elections should only be held after the war is over, according to a poll published by the International Republican Institute (IRP) on Oct. 24.

As a pastor I despise this stuff. Itโs totally inappropriate for the state to direct people how to feel about an issue and then give them an example prayer. Itโs okay for Walters to release a statement about how he feels, but he shouldnโt tell others to pray.
Never seen an elected official send out an email to public school teachers directing who to pray for and even an example prayer. This feels not only highly unusual, it feels inappropriate. This regime sure does like overreach & lawsuits ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Iโve been very proud of everyone who helped make HNS possible! Itโs been a great honor to help make it happen! Just a couple weeks away now!

I've got some friends who are working on high powered rocket certifications. A handful of students & hobbyists will be gathering this summer & they need a little help with range costs! Join me & send a few bucks their way to help if you can / want ๐
Hey Space Twitterโฆwhether SLS launches in November or Q1 2022 doesnโt really effect your everyday life. It will launch when it launches. All is good. Itโs beddy bed time. Sleep.

So, Iโm left of center too, and I always look at leftist criticism with a grain of salt. Because if I donโt understand something like I do spaceflight, I assume that I donโt know the whole story. Progressives are at their worst when they become regressive just for the likes.
@spittercupid
I think political and religious views both are pretty important to ask VERY early. Trust your gut on first date or not, but I wouldnโt go past the second without talking about it. Politics reflect our deepest held values, which are important to a compatible relationship.
These takes are so tremendously wrong and have to stop. Please. It's not a hobby...its real innovation that is saving the government money and advancing humanities interests in science and tech, while also vastly improving life on Earth in the long run.
When I woke up to work out this morning I was asking myself why I stayed up late to listen to Hamza freestyle in a Twitter Space. Heโs still mourning Tarik, so I just wanted to support.
