Self care: Spent the whole evening recategorizing the 250+ sources in my feed reader for a new browsing heuristic. That’s one small step for Jatan, one giant time saver for future Jatankind. 🤓 P.S. Here’s why you should use a feed reader too: journal.jatan.space/why-use-rss/

What I thought writing about space would be more of: Here are the cool ways in which we’re exploring space and advancing science & tech globally Reality (more than should be necessary): Here’s how space missions being claimed successful or partially so are really not.. jatan.space/moon-monday-...

As Moon missions mount globally, here’s why we need to peacefully preserve future exploration and science at our one and only cosmic neighbor: www.openlunar.org/blog/as-moon... 🌙 So glad to start this new phase in my partnership with Open Lunar Foundation with such an important topic and issue.

I hope Firefly makes it in one piece with an actual soft landing. Could turn the tide around for CLPS.

I barely check social media notifications. My phone has ZERO social media apps installed, and their emails and like streams are OFF. So I might miss your replies or DMs amid the inhumane number of social networks. But I do like to converse over emails and Signal DMs. Do ping me: jatan.space/connect

It’s sad that among the hundreds of newsletter, email marketing, and CRM platforms, there’s not a single direct replacement to TinyLetter, the simple and human newsletter service brought and killed by Mailchimp. It’s yet another loss of personal, innocent, and safely vulnerable writing on the Web.

Elon Musk’s X is blocking links of Signal messenger that journalists use to let people securely & privately reach out: www.disruptionist.com/p/elon-musks... So it’s worth using Signal! Message me space updates & issues at moonmehta.17 or click this link which totally works here: jatan.space/signal

It was shortly after the US electoral outcome in November that I had raised the importance of archiving key public documents and webpages to ensure they remain public. It’s sad to see the need to act on it has come about this early: jatan.space/scientific-d...

Well, big news. I am planning to move the Space Library to a new home. And I need some help - in 35 years I've never asked for funding, donations or subscriptions for my Space Report, to keep it independent, but now I need to raise some additional funds. www.gofundme.com/f/fund-jonat...
