"Launch Dress Rehearsal Complete Ahead of NASA Roman Space Telescope Liftoff" by US🇺🇸 National Aeronautics & Space Administration #NASA - #RomanSpaceTelescope🔭 is still scheduled for August 30 launch. The launch dress rehearsal followed all the procedures for launch. This did not include propellant loading of the #SpaceX #FalconHeavy rocket🚀, which is tested separately without the satellite. (Lesson learned from 2016.) After launch, 100 days to reach L2. https://science.nasa.gov/blogs/roman/2026/08/20/launch-dress-rehearsal-complete-ahead-of-nasa-roman-space-telescope-liftoff/ #astronomy #space

Gobble, gobble,
destroying books
Despite humanity's
dirty looks
Ingesting civilization
page by page
Your data centers
incite much rage
Burning down rainforests
left and right
Energy sucking hogs
Fascists delight
Consuming human kind
It's very rude
And that sloppy text
you extrude
#poem (human written)
I imagine Arizona is ahead of the world in trying to approach this in a sensible manner... (very high number of heat deaths there... because... Arizona is in the upper edge of the human habitable zone in summer, i.e. often not survivable without air conditioning).
