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 💁🏼‍♀️

I really thought we were just escaping the Dallas “blizzard” but apparently he had other plans 💍🥹💕

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!!!!

PS -- I have an exclusive interview with Dr. Jill Tarter, the woman who inspired Ellie Arroway's character in Contact, dropping on my YouTube channel tomorrow morning 👀

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

💸 INVESTMENT
1. Starfish Space, a satellite servicing company, raised $29M

2. Inversion Space, a company working on delivering cargo anywhere in the world in under 1 hour via space, raised $44M

(I cover 2 more big ones in this video: youtu.be/Xq2h3VaGHb4?...)

🪐 EXPLORATION
1. Voyager 1's communications are back online!

2. The Nancy Grace Roman Telescope is finally ready for final assembly! This telescope is going to study dark matter and exoplanets

🌎 SPACE FOR EARTH
The hundreds of petabytes of data that NASA's fleet of Earth observation satellites collect is getting an AI copilot (literally called Earth Copilot!) thanks to a partnership with Microsoft. The goal is to help scientists, educators, and policymakers better use the data

🌙 ARTEMIS UPDATES
1. The SLS's Solid Rocket Boosters have started to be stacked in preparation for Artemis II which is scheduled to launch in April 2026

2. Lunar Outpost selected SpaceX's Starship to deliver its Lunar Terrain Vehicle to the Moon later this decade

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).

Wanna hear something crazy? SpaceX wants to build one Starship EVERY 8 HOURS 🤯

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 👽
