Safe flight, #JWST. We knew you when you were just a baby…
#NASAWebb is safely in space with its solar array drawing power from the Sun! Its reaction wheels will keep the spacecraft pointed in the right direction so that its sunshield can protect the telescope from radiation and heat: blogs.nasa.gov/webb/2021/12/… #UnfoldTheUniverse

NBC rules analyst Terry McAulay: “The ball clearly doesn’t touch a player by the time the clock hits 0:00.” How badly did Western Michigan just get shafted?

Hey @TMobileHelp might need to send some help over to Metronet. Internet went out 90 min ago. No notifications of service outage. Their text support and chat support both return “No CSR available” errors. Phone support never gets answered. Can you do a wellness check on them?
