Das sehr gute Interview von @ninaweber.bsky.social mit Sabine und Joachim Hermisson zu ME/CFS gibt es hier jetzt auch ohne Paywall: (Ja, ich weiß, guter Journalismus muss bezahlt werden, aber manche wichtigen Dinge sollten auch frei zugänglich sein.) archive.ph/2025.10.08-1...

A must read for everyone in the space bubble - and maybe outside as well:

Thread worth reading - probably not only for US-Americans. Should be a wake-up call for tendencies rising elsewhere as well. And I fully include my own country.

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

This really hits hard - RIP one of the greatest of all times

For all those who still believe that going directly to Mars without decent preparation on and around the Moon is really an option - from the real experts:

Never forgotten - forever in our hearts. Nunca esquecido - sempre nos nossos corações. Ayrton Senna sempre! #AyrtonSenna #SennaSempre

Feliz aniversário, campeão e amigo! Happy Birthday, champion and friend! Ayrton Senna, born #OTD 1960 - sempre nos nossos corações! Forever in our hearts!

Remembering Glynn Lunney,who died #OTD four years ago in 2021. One of the best Flight Directors NASA ever had and also a great personality, a very humble human being, highly respected and valued by everyone who knew him. Godspeed Black Flight, you will be missed forever!

The other reason most likely is that they are not sure if Endurance will be ready in time. There were doubts about this from the beginning, hence the references to spacecraft readiness, FRR in first announcement. Some internal mission ops voices apparently said "April" without cutting corners...

An important part of our job as NASA Astronauts is to inspire our next generation of space explorers. We can't accomplish that mission if we can only connect with a fraction of the kids in America. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/03/s...

Remembering the Columbia crew on the 22nd anniversary of the tragedy of STS-107. Rick Husband, Willie McCool, Kalpana Chawla, Laurel Clark, Michael Anderson, Dave Brown, Ilan Ramon. The memories also serve as a reminder to never neglect diligence and safety in human spaceflight.

This soccer ball flown by Ellison Onizuka for his daughter not only survived the loss of #Challenger on this date in 1986, it made its way into space 30 years later and spent half a year on the Space Station. espn.com/espn/feature... #OTD

Remembering the Challenger crew #OTD of this tragedy in 1986: Commander Dick Scobee, pilot Mike Smith, mission specialists Judy Resnik, Ellison Onizuka, Ron McNair, and payload specialists Greg Jarvis and Christa McAuliffe. The lessons learned from this accident should never be forgotten again!

#OTD in 1967 - astronauts Gus Grissom, Ed White and Roger Chaffee lost their lives in the Apollo 1 fire. A constant reminder that space exploration is hard and requires a lot of dilligence and the courage of people saying "stop", when "Go fever" is taking over.

Here we are - agency leadership willingly following orders...

A very Happy 90th Birthday to Gerry Griffin, "Gold Flight" in the Apollo era, lead Flight Director of Apollo 12, 15 and 17, who did the landings on 14, 16 and 17, was part of the team that saved Apollo 13, later JSC Center Director - and just a great guy!

Merry Christmas, Frohe Weihnachten, Feliz Natal!

Remembering Black Flight Glynn Lunney on his birthday #OTD in 1936. One of the best and sharpest Flight Directors NASA ever had and a very nice and humble person at the same time. His shift on Apollo 13 just after the accident is still considered as the most impressive ever in Mission Control.
