SpaceX, especially @elonmusk and @blueorigin need to stop emphasising as many launches as possible and concentrate in getting something reliable now. Worry about rapid reusability later. Artemis will probably be delayed because of these setbacks. 4/n

Yeah, they really iterated on the wrong stuff first from where I sit. Anyway, let's switch to something happier and historical...
Astronaut Ellen Ochoa floats through the tunnel that connected the STS-96 crew to the International Space Station (ISS) for several days in late May and early June 1999.
STS-96 marked the first Space Shuttle docking to the International Space Station (ISS), which was successfully accomplished on May 29, 1999 at 12:22 a.m. EDT.
Astronauts Jernigan and Barry conducted a 7-hour, 55-minute spacewalk to inspect and service the ISS exterior.
Funny thing, I was looking for pictures that showed Discovery docked with ISS, then it dawned on me that there weren't so many vehicles coming and going back then, so nobody was available to take a family portrait.
Selah.
