Shout-out to the guy wearing a Turnstile t-shirt on the NASA Livestream.

I've always wondered what this looks like!

I've ended up becoming the unofficial Public Affairs Officer for my friends and family. Very fun.

New story out: "FPV" in Blood+Honey (link below): Syl Caillet, a drone pilot vet, works as a remote operator at the Serva Corporation, a company that builds humanoid robot servants. They imply the robots are run by AI, but it’s underpaid workers like Syl who control them behind the scenes...

Had "9:39" by Global Communications playing in the lead up to LOS. Perfect vibe.

Apollo lunar observation guide -> Artemis lunar observation guide

Tomorrow's lunar flyby schedule. Well done Jännät!

Does anybody have a schedule of events for the lunar flyby? Not just curious for myself, but I'd love to give my friends and family some key events to watch. Closest approach specifically.

I have a new short story out: "Skipping Ahead" in Poetries in English (link below): Lyle Fischer is looking for any way out of the climate disaster of the 21st century and signs on to a 300-year interstellar surveying mission to Gliese 667 Cc, a nearby exoplanet... (cont'd)

Artemis II is now on its way to the moon.

CAPCOM has Artemis the cat from Sailor Moon behind her!

When is Artemis II's trans-lunar injection happening? Don't want to miss it.

Godspeed Artemis!

Orion renders. Doing my part to hype the Artemis 2 launch.

Skylab B was a proposed second Skylab space station that would have hosted international crews. Ultimately NASA canceled it, and the orbital workshop was repurposed as a walk-through Skylab exhibit at the National Air and Space Museum.

Another cool 70s Landsat image of New Mexico, this one is of White Sands

I have book called "Mission to Earth: Landsat View of the World" published in 1976. It has 400 plates of Landsat images from the first satellites. I want to post some, but to select them, comment on this thread with the number of the plate you'd like to see. First four get their picks.

After Skylab, NASA still had surplus Apollo hardware laying around, so they started work on a second Skylab station, Skylab B. This station would have been an international project, with Soviet crews visiting using the Soyuz. Ultimately, it was canceled. The docked spacecraft here is a Soyuz 7K-T.

I have 3 new short stories coming out next month. In the meantime, here's my most recent, "Peace-2", the story of a Soviet engineer in the Polyus project facing his complicity in the militarization of space while his country collapses around him. Link below.

Skylab during the Skylab 4 mission (November 16, 1973 - February 8, 1974), at this point quite discolored from the radiation.

ASTP-2, my alternate-history concept for a joint US-Soviet lunar flight (no landing, just orbiting)

May 25, 1973, the crew of Skylab 2 (Pete Conrad, Joseph Kerwin, and Paul Weitz) inspect Skylab before docking and starting the herculean task of repairing the damaged space station. They were successful and spent 28 days in space, making them America's first station crew.

Skylab Apollo CSM. For Skylab, the Apollo CSM went through a number of changes. The most obvious change was the use of white thermal control paint on the side of the spacecraft that would face the sun while docked to the station.

Telstar-1, the first telecommunications satellite, met an untimely demise only 7-months into its service life. On July 9, 1962 the United States exploded a nuclear bomb in space, codenamed Starfish Prime. The explosion created several man-made radiation belts... cont'd

A Soyuz 7K-T docks with the MKBS. This was a Soviet space station concept that would act as a central hub for a whole ecosystem of orbital stations and vehicles that was collectively known as MOK. The modules were planned to launch on N1s.

I've got a lot of saved space images and I want to share more of them, hope that's cool. I'll always make sure to point out which images I post are renders I have created and which are real images I've found online.

Red and pink space hardware ❤️❤️❤️

Found this wine called Félicette, dedicated to the first (and only) cat launched into space. Had to get it.

Excerpts from a NASA/NASA contractor public info publication in my collection. This one, from North American Aviation, was tucked into newspapers across the US ahead of Apollo 4, the first flight test of the Saturn V, in November 1967. I post one of these in its entirety on my Patreon every Sunday.

The MKBS was a Soviet concept for a massive space station that would act as a central command hub for a whole ecosystem of orbital spacecraft (collectively known as MOK). It would be powered primarily by a nuclear generator and had rotating arms for artificial gravity.

Some renders I made of Mengzhou, China's lunar-capable crewed spacecraft. The second image includes the Lanyue lunar lander.

I'm reading "Secret Sentries in Space" by Philip J. Klass, written in 1970. He mentions an upcoming generation of secret SIGINT satellites based on a Hughes satellite bus, which matches the JUMPSEAT program just declassified this month.
