.@starlingLX presents @SpaceKate with her rocket from the grateful attendees of #spaceupuk http://t.co/zDdT3EdrF2
if you ever see @SpaceKate @DrChrisBridges @CitizenInventor running a space event?sign up. pronto. the inaugural #SpaceUpUK was teh awesome
"I'd like to have a positive impact on children learning #STEM subjects & on the UK aerospace industry" - @astro_timpeake at #SpaceUpUK
"would you be interested in a zerog teapot?"…"anything for a decent cup of tea on the #iss" - @astro_timpeake #SpaceUpUK
"after #ISS, I think w'ill see a diverse @esa agency. maintain connections w @nasa, @fka_roscosmos & Chinese." - @astro_timpeake #SpaceUpUK
"if you want to be an astronaut there is a career path for you." @astro_timpeake at #SpaceUpUK
"most astronauts wish they were busier in the [hour] before launch" - @astro_timpeake at #SpaceUpUK
.@spacekate takes questions for the affable & engaging @astro_timpeake at #spaceupuk http://t.co/abvWlTZdEH
we're joined at #SpaceUpUK by @astro_timpeake by video from Kazakhstan.
"the thing about space is that it's a little bit untouchable." @SpaceKate. so how do we make it real? accessible? approachable? #SpaceUpUK
clarification. @ESA_Rosetta enters a near "orbit" of comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko on Aug 6th. but landing will occur in Nov. #SpaceUpUK
prior to Aug6 '14 the flight path & approach of @ESA_Rosetta to the comet as described by @danielscuka at #SpaceUpUK http://t.co/ioovETVkFC
where is @ESA_Rosetta now? on way back to Eath/Sol. 9+ thruster burns prior comet rendezvous: August 6th. mark your calendar! #SpaceUpUK
.@danielscuka describes intense period of waiting for @ESA_Rosetta to wake up. audio was working. ppl were too nervous to speak. #SpaceUpUK
#spaceupuk listening to @esaoperations describe what's happened since wake up and the next steps of @ESA_Rosetta
it's probable that there are… "many people building, but not many people sharing…" their success & results sez @CitizenInventor #SpaceUpUK
citizen space activity is Maker culture. includes #Kicksat, #cubesat and relies heavily on @arduino #SpaceUpUK cc @mbanzi
in the #SpaceUpUK Mars room discussing citizen involvement in space…
"We're looking at commercial space flight." looking to enable everyone who wants to launch satellites – @JeremyNickless #SpaceUpUK #skylon
my previous tweeted photo of Skylon is from @ReactionEngines more info: http://www.reactionengines.co.uk/space_skylon.html #SpaceUpUK
Skylon's design may change, tho @ReactionEngines' SABREngine is vital step in reusable lifting capability #spaceupuk http://t.co/3M7pP6DcbI
SKYLON by @reactionengines is a reusable launch system designed to fly 200 times. the payload capability is ~15 tons. #SpaceUpUK
.@JeremyNickless of @ReactionEngines describes HoToL legacy. & Mach 5 capable SABRE [Synergetic Air Breathing Rocket Engine] #SpaceUpUK
intro'd to #SpaceUpUK by @ProfChrisWelch — @I4Interstellar "Initiative for Interstellar Studies" examining deep space mission feasibility…
the most detailed study of interstellar missions: daedalus, a 2 stage fusion powered robotic spaceship. early @BIS_spaceflight #SpaceUpUK
good morning. here's to day 2 of #SpaceUpUK
a small curse: my #SpaceUpUK tweets earlier on #EDL: the correct twitter is, of course, @MarsCuriosity. not @NasaCuriosity. mea culpa! damn.
so few people look at careers in space industries due to a lack of visibility in day to day life & news media. #SpaceUpUK
"apparently" the UK gov will announce at Farnborough further investment in British spaceflight & maybe even a launch facility #SpaceUpUK
why work for space? when little understand personal impact of sci/space &/or proj timeframes run into decades #SpaceUpUK HT @esaoperations
