There are now 10 toilets in Space
International Space Station: 4
Crew Dragon Docked at ISS: 1
Soyuz Docked at ISS: 1
Tiangong Space Station: 2
Shenzhou Docked at TSS: 1
Artemis II on way around Moon: 1
This will be the first time a toilet has left low earth orbit!
Epic launch! Can't wait to see the Artemis 2 crew fly around the Moon in 6 days!
NASA's recap of a whirlwind day
Pour one out for a space reporter today. We're getting a lot of info all at once and trying to translate it concisely in an understandable way.
Ben Fiest, the man behind the "Apollo in Real Time " project, has launched for the International Space Station's 25th Anniversary. "ISS in Real Time" issinrealtime.org #ISS #ISS25 #ISSInRealTime
HTV-X1 was captured and berthed to ISS today! There are now 7 vehicles docked/berthed to Station (tied record from 2024). If schedules hold, when Soyuz MS-28 docks in late November, all 8 available ports will be occupied for the first time -- a new record!
Great to see HTV-X arrive at the ISS (and by my count, this is the last ever time we'll see a brand new type of Visiting Vehicle arrive at the ISS).
🎵 They did the Monster Slash 😭 @ellecordova.bsky.social
Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.
These “agents” like doing this. They want to do this because it’s a legal way to feed their worst compulsions.
And they’ve been given full authority to do it - verbatim - by Stephen Miller and President Trump.
Some visuals from the video:
Check out this video on the International Space Station Truss and how NASA built it! www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvhd...
The Jared Owen Animations team did a phenomenal job on this one. It was a joy to help create this video, and a trip down memory lane for ISS construction!
The administration’s anti-consensus Mars plan will fail
The White House’s FY 2026 budget request for NASA proposes a radical shift in the agency’s direction, proposing extinction-level cuts to space science, severe cuts in other program areas and a dramatic pivot of human spaceflight focus to Mars.
“I have friends everywhere.” 🙌
The latest video for Jared Owen Animations is out! It's about Blue Origin's New Shepard rocket!
The team did a fantastic job on this one. Each of our names (and others) show up on the New Shepard screens. Let me know if you spot my name. :D 🚀

As the world contemplates NASA's reliance on SpaceX
Following the inspiration of @ohdearz.bsky.social @theplanetaryguy.bsky.social @jtuttlekeane.bsky.social here’s the NASA fleet with the proposed budget cuts. Red X’s will be fully defunded, green X’s will lose all NASA funding but have other funding sources, and exclamation point means >50% cuts
Musk spent $292M on Trump's campaign, became a scapegoat for killing thousands of African children to save a few $B for billionaire tax cuts and all he gets at the end is hate for the destruction of NASA's science program under his watch.
Drugs destroyed his mind and made him Howard Hughes V-2.
Trump has pulled Jared Isaacman’s nomination to be head of NASA.
He wants a NASA wrecker instead.
This is a disaster for America.
Time to start learning Mandarin, I guess...
Jared 'Rook' Isaacman's nomination for NASA Administrator is being withdrawn. This is bad news for NASA but maybe a good thing for Jared himself though, since being NASA head right now is a bit of a Kobayashi Maru scenario. Rumour is he will be replaced by someone more gungho about slashing NASA
SPACENEWS: NASA budget would cancel dozens of science missions, lay off thousands (But sets aside nearly $2 billion effectively earmarked for SpaceX)

There's also a line from this movie: The Enterprise is dead in space, the Klingons ready to destroy the ship Kirk was informed his son has been killed. The no win situation is here. Kirk gets up and tells his team "I swear to you, we're not finished yet." Neither are we.
We're going to learn some tough stuff today about the White House's proposed budget for fiscal year 2026—including what they have in mind for NASA.
I'll share what I hear, but remember:
CONGRESS decides how much money NASA gets, not the White House.
So whatever happens today, the fight continues.
The Presidents Budget Request for NASA is out. It’s a bloodbath
Canceled are DAVINCI, VERITAS, Juno, OSIRIS-APEX, US participation in ExoMars and EnVision…
Huge cut to R&A. No funding to begin development of the Uranus Orbiter.
If you’ve ever cared about NASA, time to contact congress.
Inspired by @jtuttlekeane.bsky.social and @ohdearz.bsky.social, here's what the White House proposed budget cuts to NASA would do to the entirety of the agency's Science Mission Directorate.
Bloodbath is right.
The text on here heavily sounds like the budget people were in bed with Elon. It can't be a coincidence that they wrote that shit, with Elon announcing a near term starship Mars test yesterday. NASA is compromised.
