Here's where that is in relation to past NASA rovers:

The way that much of the public reacted to OceanGate was unsettling. The dehumanizing and trivializing of human life was incredibly off putting.

Yes, we know why the jokes were made. People are fed up with income inequality. Infuriated at the contrast b/n OceanGate and Greece.
But I want to share a quote that summarized why it was so unsettling from @emilyinurphone over on Insta. She says “the world is a cruel place and rallying around the death of a perceived enemy is a way to build community and inure yourself against your own suffering…. (1/2)
@emilyinurphone …But when you talk about it in the public square you are normalizing this type of conversation around death and dehumanization” (2/2)

Okay, both kids in bed and I'm just now tuning in to #Artemis1.

For an overview of what's happened the last ~6 hours - check out @skrishna's coverage.
Where are you all watching this?
Ahah, I was wondering where everyone was getting live updates. I was watching the wrong NASA live. Here's the one with just launch updates:

Yesterday I took down my posts about how @TSA treated me at @flyLAXairport. I was embarrassed at how emotional I was. I was anxious about the confrontation. So I deleted it.

But they make too many mothers feel this way, so I’m going to talk about it bc this needs to stop 🧵
Here’s what happened. Yesterday was my 1st trip away from my 10wk old son, who I’m currently breastfeeding. I’m going through security at LAX. I brought my pump and 2 ice packs - only 1 of which was cold (I won’t need the other until I come home, when I’ll have more milk).
I didn’t currently have any milk but I was planning to get a last second pumping sesh in before my ~5 hour flight.

Two male TSA agents told me I couldn’t bring my ice packs through bc they weren’t frozen solid. (This is the key part of the story)

This Mother’s Day I want rights over my own body.
The decision (likely to be) made by the Supreme Court has been yrs in the making.
When I was pregnant, we could slowly see this playing out. & let me tell you, it’s pretty awful being pregnant and having pro life family members
🧵
It’s awful knowing that they would prefer you die if it meant that your pregnancy might ultimately end up w/ a birth. Every blood test/scan is terrifying regardless, but especially so when you know that certainly family members prioritized that fertilized embryo over your life.
And if you’re a single issue voter and think “no! We love you! That’s not what I support! Of course if you might die that would be a unique circumstance!”

THIS 👏🏻IS👏🏻THE👏🏻WHOLE👏🏻POINT
