Planetary friends!

Don't want to go to Houston in March, or support an institute that's bending the knee?

Then join us for the very first Planetary Science Community Workshop in Louisville, KY on April 14–16, 2026.

It's our community. Fight for it!

A lot of things impressed me about Disney World: this display, the design of the parks, how they managed the crowds, etc

But nothing compares to them finding my car keys that I lost *somewhere in Magic Kingdom* 2 hours after I submitted a lost and found form
Happy New Year!!

I used the word “diversity” in my NASA proposal and apparently that’s a no-no

with Stargate coming back this seems like a good time to show off the Destiny I made in SolidWorks (of all things) many years ago during a summer internship

I was supposed to be using it for designing radio dish parts

heard an interview with Hakeem Jefferies and I’m sorry to report that he sounded exactly like chatGPT trained on Democratic talking points

is it too much to ask for the Dem leadership to sound like actual humans

A moment of silence, please, for the "young men are all MAGA now" narrative.
