"Women commit 100% of crime in space" made me think back to any illegal activities in space. Thread.
2018, somebody holed the russian Soyuz supply spacecraft. Probably committed on the ground, but can't be said for sure.

1973, the "Skylab mutiny". Astronauts stopped working against the orders from flight control.
Technically never indicted, but punished severely anyway by never flying again.

1979, when NASA got a littering ticket from Australia, for the debris left by Skylab's reentry. A misdemeanor rather than a crime.

Aaand i was wrong: the 1967 Outer Space Treaty does NOT prohibit normal weapons, only weapons of mass destruction.

Thus Russian Almaz military crafts which flew with anti-craft weapons were legal.

#Thread – Future AFV Tech (Take My Money!)

Recently, ‘Carmel’ (below) got me (and most of #miltwitter) thinking.
What else might AFV of the near-ish future have?

I’m not talking teleportation or anything obscene – I’m talking achievable advancements.

Up front – Ground rules.

I’m not interested in a tank/AFV/CRV/APC or a specific platform comparison.

Let’s talk in platform/role agnostic terms (where possible) – It gets too emotional and there’s already enough in-fighting!

Let’s also assume the AFVs remain ‘manned’
WHY DOES IT MATTER?

Watch the below. Is that feasible? Maybe, maybe not.

But what it shows is this:

People are thinking about how to kill us. Being on the ‘HVT/HPT list’ is not where you want to be. Especially when blokes like the below are around.

#THREAD:

I have a former student named Stan*. I’ve been sharing his commentary on Facebook for 3 years. Folks think he’s funny. 🙄 In honor of his recent graduation, I’m going to start positing the stories here. Here’s our very first interaction, 3 years ago. 👇🏾
Stan: Ms. Buddington, you like your hair like that?

Me: Yes...why?

Stan: *walks around me, looking at my head*

Me: *confused*

(Exhibit A: 👇🏾 2016 Hair)
Stan: *goes into his notebook, scrawls something, rips a paper out and hands it to me, with a number on it*

Me: What is this?

*still confused*

#THREAD: #mylifewithstan

There’s a scholar that I used to teach. His name is Stan. He’s wild. We’re really close and he often reaches out to me to keep me updated. Trust me. You want to read everything this child has to say.
Got my weekly call from Stan today. School has begun. Stan seems to have issues with all of his teachers...

Me: So tell me about your day...

Stan: There’s not much to tell. I was in and out of the dean’s office all day.

Me: It’s DAY TWO!
Stan: Actually, its day 233 of the actual year. I learn all year round.

Me: Okay Stan. Why were you in the dean’s office?

Stan: Because I gave the teachers advice.

Me: What kind of advice?

Stan: Well, the art teacher didn’t know what she was doing.

THREAD - How about a bunch of blog posts on #Space and #Astronomy? Yes, I have more than you can imagine - especially since these are really just #physics topics. Hold on - because this is going to be a bit large.
2/ Here is an answer to my fav astronomy question EVER - "What would the phases of the moon look like if the moon was a cube?" wired.com/2015/09/moon-c…
3/ The great thing about the cube moon question is that it really tests if students understand phases of the moon rather than just recalling factual stuff. Here is my python model of a cube and spherical moon
