Saw it on BBC yesterday - it so happens that I am here today to participate in a panel talk at University of Bristol. Here I am, at the Wills Memorial building, as it turns 100 today. Always a great pleasure to be back at the uni! ❤️ #Bristol #University #WillsMemorial

Woah! Solar wind conditions have improved massively! Mid-latitudes should be on HIGH ALERT once it’s dark. I’m out to eat right now, but will update in a couple hours when I have a free moment. Pants on tonight!!!

Testing a boot & glove to work in the wickedly cold shadowed craters of the Moon at -370F/-223C. I've spent an entire day in a thermal vacuum chamber - good to avoid frostbitten fingers & toes. jpl.nasa.gov/news/nasa-te...
