I was the Commander of the @ISS when Andy, @Astro_Andreas flew his first space mission. He is one of the most competent, trustworthy, and honest people I’ve ever met. This rhetoric is beyond the pale but, sadly, not surprising. He does not deserve this kind of disrespect.

I just watched the analysis of the destruction of SpaceX's Ship 33 by @thespaceengineer.bsky.social . I'm honestly very impressed, even though it's partly speculative. But it makes perfect sense. Thanks @thespaceengineer.bsky.social for that! youtu.be/iWrrKJrZ2ro?...

Saw this yesterday and was totally blown away. It's such a beautiful and earnest piece of art. Having had the chance years ago to visit the studio & glimpse the work-in-progress, I'm amazed at what it's blossomed into. Please see Flow on the big screen if you can! flowthemovie.com/buy-tickets

There is, of course, no quantitative way to rank amazing things that happen in space. We cannot measure their absolute magnitude nor assign them a numerical value, and trying to do so is something of a fool’s errand. I did it anyway. arstechnica.com/space/2024/1...
