NASA guy uses telescope.
My late father left me his enormous 8” astrophotography telescope. I finally got it operational last night. Visual eyepieces only (camera gear pending). Managed to snap these pics through the eyepiece.

I'm working on a new project to bring the day to day activities on the ISS to life. issinrealtime.org will be a cousin to apolloinrealtime.org. It will place all of the public mission data into context for playback.
I'm currently transcribing all space-to-ground comm dating back to 2015.

Had an inspiring week at Johnson Space Center where we ran a series of Artemis 3 EVA simulations. Mission Control supported the crew as they walked on the Moon in VR with the Artemis 3 science team learning how to support operations from the Science Evaluation Room.
