I would like to offer my most humble thanks to whomever in my house put a box of thin mints in the freezer weeks ago.

Ok but at least it's not my fault this time. 😅

in all seriousness, the apollo 13 mission is one of those real life things that sounds completely made up

Axiom Mission 2 Launches to the International Space Station (Official NASA Broadcast) Axiom Mission 2, set to lift off at 5:37 p.m. EDT (2137 UTC) on Sunday, May 21, is the second all-private astronaut mission to the International Space Station. Ax-2 is launching from NASA's Kennedy Space Center aboard SpaceX's Dragon Freedom spacecraft—it’s the same capsule that carried NASA’s SpaceX Crew-4 astronauts to the station in 2022. During their scheduled eight-day stay aboard the orbiting laboratory, the crew of Ax-2—commander Peggy Whitson, pilot John Shoffner, and mission specialists Ali Alqarni and Rayyanah Barnawi—will engage in technology demonstrations, student outreach, and scientific experiments ranging from cancer treatments to weather research. Today's launch coverage is led by Axiom Space, with support from NASA and SpaceX; NASA's primary mission responsibilities begin during Freedom's approach to the International Space Station, the start of Ax-2 integrated operations. Learn more about NASA's role in Ax-2 and how we're working with our industry partners to open low-Earth orbit to more people, more science, and more commercial opportunities: https://go.nasa.gov/3O54kO1 Thumbnail credit: NASA/Joel Kowsky Music Credit : “Change by Nu Alkemi$t” Content ID : JWRDVGU4E26SNWIX Song: Created by Design by Cody Martin Content ID : 8WTFQBQNPL7LNDHO #Ax2 #NASA #SpaceStation

Look to the skies and feel awe.

I've updated my human spaceflight lists at https://planet4589.org/space/astro/web/index.html
By my definitions, Peggy Whitson was space traveller no. 426, now on her 4th flight. Shoffner, Al-Qarni and Barnawi are space travellers nos. 645, 646 and 647.

SpaceX rocket 'go' to launch four private astronauts on Ax-2, a mission filled with 1sts, today Axiom Space's Ax-2 is the first private mission commanded by a woman and carries the first Saudi woman into space and first Saudis to visit the International Space Station.

In 5 hours, 4 humans (private mission) are launching to space. Space travel is the bleeding edge of the engineering humans have created as a species. This is why I believe in us. Ad astra. 🚀

And I don't know why the link card isn't working. It's space-themed nail art.

So First Republic failed like three weeks ago, and apparently I still have to pay my mortgage. I was really hoping for a free house here...

The closest thing to life off Earth, without leaving Earth. This documentary is da bomb.

America’s first space station was in trouble after launch. Vibration had caused its micrometeorite & sun shield to get dislodged and hit one of the solar panels.

Power was dropping. Temps were rising. Toxic materials were leaking. Not great.

So they sewed a new one. By hand & saved the station.

I'm in this skeet.

Welcoming, definitely! Wholesome? Only if Alf's dick is wholesome. I'll leave that as an exercise for the reader.

Welcome @burkenstocks.bsky.social - Former twitter product lead and your current go-to for all you need to know to start a cult. Give her a follow!

One of the many reasons I love to spot the station (https://spotthestation.nasa.gov/ is because I can look into the sky and imagine the seven people living on that pinpoint of light - and remember that I have accomplished essentially nothing in this world.

Waldo would like your opinion about which is his better side

Those boots were made for floating

Check out the arrows on the wings close to the fuselage on the in-flight map. Are the arrows for

A) An aerodynamics lesson, poorly done
B) Skydiving instructions, also poorly done
C) other

Big ol' welcome to @poppynorthcutt.bsky.social! I came for the stories of Apollo Mission Control. I stayed because she's a badass feminist.

Right back atcha

Aww yeah welcome @astroanil.bsky.social

I'm thrilled to welcome @astroanil.bsky.social to Bluesky!!! 

🚨🚨🚨 another Astronaut in the house! 🚨🚨🚨

As a customer of First Republic Bank, what should I expect today and what action should I take? (wrong answers only, please)

The shuttle Atlantis was not in the museum when you were growing up. It was not built yet, and then it was in space. Also, do you have something against *more* space museums? 😁

Drive to Kennedy Space Center. Visit a shuttle. It's amazing.

Success! Now I want to hug that cute puppy. 😍

If only you regularly came to Women in Cybersecurity conferences, you would have heard me talk about this...
