I went in-depth here on Bridgit Mendler and Northwood Space. There's a lot of bad news out there, but this is one of the most uplifting stories I've reported on in awhile.

Wie ist der Gesundheits- und Fitnesszustand von Astronautinnen und Astronauten?
Auf dem #SpaceSymposium zeigen wir unser SpacePatch System. Es kann den 👨‍🚀 Fitnesszustand in Echtzeit bewerten.
So können Einsätze auf Raumstationen oder zukünftig auf dem Mond besser geplant und durchgeführt werden.

Great reporting by @sciguyspace.bsky.social
At the time, I was told that Starliner was 0-fault tolerant during the docking approach. About 2 weeks ago I learned from Suni that they actually lost control in 1 axis. The whole story is both fascinating and damn scary.
