Rather troubling that the president is so unwell as to be promoting AI-induced visions of himself as Jesus while beefing with the pope, but it’s made even more bizarre because it’s happening while the VP is Catholic and saying nothing

Those four #Artemis astronauts went from weightlessness to a 3+G re-entry to splashdown and now they’ve been at 1G bobbing in the ocean for half an hour while they wait to get pulled out of their little tin can. I do not envy how their stomachs must be…

The Orion capsule with the #Artemis II astronauts is now on its final trajectory for re-entry. Angle and trajectory all good. Hoping the re-entry goes smoothly! [contains quote post or other embedded content]

During an interview today for TV the reporter asked me what I’m most looking forward to about the return of #Artemis II (referring I think to the science data/discoveries) and I replied that all I care about today is that the astronauts return home safely…

The #Artemis II livestream continues to be the best thing on the internet. 😍 The return-to-Earth live coverage begins at 6:30pm Eastern (in about 90 minutes) with splashdown in the Pacific scheduled for 8:07pm Eastern. …

Saw a reel making fun of people who were expressing skepticism of the #Artemis II images in Instagram comments and while it's true that a lot of folks are just spreading conspiracy theories, there are misconceptions that can just be addressed directly! …

I’ve been really appreciating all of @swapnakrishna.com’s insights on the #Artemis II mission — I definitely recommend following her and reading/watching all her coverage! [contains quote post or other embedded content]

😃: I got to go on CBC TV last night via Zoom to talk about Artemis II 😭: The Zoom connection was SO BAD the segment is basically unwatchable. (I had no idea it was bad at the time and no one said anything during the setup! Not sure how to prevent this in…

I try really hard to always be courteous to my fellow internet denizens but apparently a quick way to get on my bad side is to be misleading and/or inaccessible with space/science things. Science should be for everyone and misinformation about it…

Well this is unfortunate. An account calling itself "NASA | ESA Space Updates" (@nasaupdates.bsky.social), not apparently affiliated w/ either, has been posting NASA images without alt-text & blocked me when I said the images should include it. (NASA…

The audio from my interview on CBC-KW Radio's The Morning Edition is up! It was a nice opportunity to talk about what the #Artemis II mission has accomplished and the value of space exploration in general. (6 minutes)…

Long-wavelength radio astronomy is some of the only science that would get a major benefit from being on the lunar far side. The Moon blocks radio noise from the Earth & presents the possibility of ground-based astronomy with no atmospheric interference.…

Thought-provoking video by my friend @climateadam.bsky.social. A counterpoint though: I think more talk about space missions can be a nice wedge to talking about other science & why it needs funding. Just yesterday I was interviewed about US science…

I talked to CBC-Kitchener-Waterloo Radio this morning about #Artemis II and they recorded a little video version of the interview afterward (with similar questions). You can watch here: https://www.cbc.ca/player/play/video/9.7155949
