On March 25th at noon ET I'll be giving a public, online talk for the NASA History Office about ISS in Real Time, a project that @dwcharn and I made last year. Everyone is welcome! RSVP at the link. lp.constantcontactpages.com/ev/reg/4xjb6...

ISS in Real Time has been updated with comm, photos, articles, and spacecraft details. We have comm as recent as Monday this week! issinrealtime.org

The crew onboard the ISS commemorated the 25th anniversary of having people onboard with a radio communication. Click the link to listen. It was during the US government shutdown, so NASA has just released the mission data that includes the onboard event. issinrealtime.org/2025-11-02T1...

😎 This is cool 👇 Explore 25 years on the International Space Station. This multimedia project replays every day of the past 25 years on board and consists entirely of historical mission material. By @benfeist.bsky.social and David Charney. issinrealtime.org

Emily Carney interviewed David Charney and me about ISS in Real Time for an article in The Space Review. Thanks, Emily! www.thespacereview.com/article/5092/1

👨‍🚀 For over 25 years now, there has always been someone in space, orbiting our planet every 90 minutes aboard the International Space Station 🛰️. Now you can relive every day of this incredible journey thanks to Ben Feist and David Charney 🔗 issinrealtime.org

T-minus 4 hours until the 25th anniversary of sustained human presence in space. issinrealtime.org

Announcing ISS in Real Time, a new multimedia project where you can play back every day of the past 25 years aboard the International Space Station. issinrealtime.org

NASA guy uses telescope. My late father left me his enormous 8” astrophotography telescope. I finally got it operational last night. Visual eyepieces only (camera gear pending). Managed to snap these pics through the eyepiece.

An awesomely fun project from my friend and long-time collaborator @davidcharney.bsky.social. Making the internet a better place, as always. alphabetmoon.org

How does this happen?

Apollo 13 “problem”, 55 years ago at 11pm ET tonight. ApolloInRealtime.org/13

Trump announces new tarrifs right here.

Great new film by NASA featuring some of the wonderfully talented people that I get to work with every day. We're working hard to prepare for our return to the Moon. This film shows just one aspect of those preparations. www.youtube.com/watch?v=AoJO...

Extra points if you can spot me in the back of the science room. In the fall I was part of an Artemis III training simulation at NASA JSC. Today, NASA published a short article about it. science.nasa.gov/uncategorize...

I’m looking forward to being on @cbcradiocanada.bsky.social’s The Current around 8.30 am EST tomorrow to talk about the significance of @firefly-aerospace.bsky.social’s mission & what this means for lunar exploration, including for 🇨🇦 @westernuresearch.bsky.social

ISS spacewalk currently underway. Suni Williams just surpassed Peggy Whitson's record for most spacewalk hours completed by a woman. Incredible. Meanwhile the press:

Looking Back on 2019, The Year My Life Changed This latest blog post tells the story of my first full-time year at NASA. benfeist.com/posts/airt-a... Being given a chance to work at NASA on meaningful work was a dream come true. I hope you all enjoy it.

Apollo 17's first lunar EVA is underway! apolloinrealtime.org/17/

Apollo 17 has just gone behind the moon and is about to shoot some 16mm film of what they see. Landing tomorrow. Follow along live: apolloinrealtime.org/17/

Apollo 17 is on it's way to the moon exactly 52 years ago. Follow along (as is tradition at this point): apolloinrealtime.org/17/ #apollo #nasa

Work on ISS in Real Time continues. I have processed the ISS space-to-ground comm back to 2019 and continuing backwards. Stats so far: Days transcribed: 1,169 of 2,417 Word count so far: 14,408,409 Per S/G channel: 1: 5,103,572 2: 6,435,531 3: 2,146,940 4: 722,366 #spacestation #iss #space #nasa

I'm working on a new project to bring the day to day activities on the ISS to life. issinrealtime.org will be a cousin to apolloinrealtime.org. It will place all of the public mission data into context for playback. I'm currently transcribing all space-to-ground comm dating back to 2015.

Wrapped up a fantastic week at the NASA Johnson Space Center with a dry run of the #Artemis III impact cratering training activities #ToTheMoon #ImpactCraters

Had an inspiring week at Johnson Space Center where we ran a series of Artemis 3 EVA simulations. Mission Control supported the crew as they walked on the Moon in VR with the Artemis 3 science team learning how to support operations from the Science Evaluation Room.
