Imagine going to space for 8 days, and 8 months later, not only are you still up there, but you’re also BREAKING SPACEWALK RECORDS

All I have to say is pop off queen 💁🏼‍♀️

Last week was an absolute whirlwind that started with seeing a spacecraft going to the Moon’s south pole and ended with getting engaged in Big Bend National Park (I was COMPLETELY surprised too🥹)

I love my life I love my life I love my life 😭

Yesterday I hung out a Moon tech company and their next lunar lander. Today I noticed an older couple really excited about the Artemis exhibit at the Houston airport so I asked if they wanted to see a cool pic. I showed them the lander and then

I BOOPED A SPACECRAFT GOING TO THE MOON YESTERDAY!!!! Actually a rocket-powered drone that’s gonna help us look for water inside a permanently shadowed crater!!!! And I got to hang out in one of the potential next lunar landers for the astronauts!!!!

Yes, I am over here too. Yes, I always forget to post here because

1) I have to admit I don’t understand how this model is viable long-term (bsky is not profitable yet)

2) my engagement is abysmal and as a full-time creator I have to prioritize

So if you want to see me here, plz converse 💜💜

Contact (1997) got me interested in space as a kid

Interstellar (2014) hooked me again as a teen when I really needed someone to tell me I could actually have a career in space

The Grand Canyon might seem large to us, but to a Martian it's actually really small

(ok, that is if Martians existed)

Valles Marineris is the largest canyon in the solar system. It would span the entire length of the US or from the northern tip of Norway down to Sicily

Artemis II, the first crewed mission back to the Moon since 1972, has been delayed to April 2026, though this isn't a surprising development

The delay is largely due to issues they found with the heat shield during the Artemis I uncrewed test flight back in late 2022 (see pics from NASA below).

How are y’all ok over here with the obscene amount of AI generated photos of space claiming to be real😭😭😭😭

I’m obsessed with this vintage photo of Saturn taken by Voyager 2 🥹

Where are all my Contact fans? ✋🏻 I had the honor of interviewing Jill Tarter last week and I’m still in shock 🤯 She’s the inspiration for Ellie Arroway’s character, an incredible astronomer, and the founder of the SETI Institute — the only organization on Earth dedicated to finding life elsewhere 👽
