Kitten Space Agency just got a little more cosmic. We’ve added the Milky Way into the skybox, bringing more depth, scale, and atmosphere to spaceflight, orbital views, and planetary surfaces. Whether you’re coasting above the atmosphere or looking up from a planet, space should feel vast.

how can you not be romantic about space

stressed? breathe and look at our beautiful planet for a bit.

A mission for everyone #artemis2

Welcome back to the Artemis II crew :) Such a huge relief watching them arrive safely!

okay i change my mind, THIS is one of the best and most beautiful images from artemis ii

THE ARTEMIS II CREW IS NOW CLOSER TO THE MOON THAN THEY ARE TO EARTH!!

I painted the new image of Earth from Artemis!

the images of earth from artemis ii are absolutely gorgeous

Beautiful. This is why I think space exploration is worth it. When you compare it to the cost of everything else, it is relatively small. In the end, we get to marvel at the majesty of our home, and are reminded of the need to protect it. #Artemis2

same moon, new era 🚀🌕

i can’t believe i have to say this, but even if you aren’t excited for artemis ii, DON’T WISH ILL ON THE ASTRONAUTS!!! that’s incredibly disrespectful especially to those who lost their lives in previous years.

I tire of how awful twitter has become. I want to be able to talk about spaceflight stuff without all that around. But I checked here again, and it still just feels so empty. So do I want to live in a town with crap everywhere, but tons of people, or live in a clean ghost town? It's rough.

NEVER TELL ME THE ODDS

🙏Soon we'll finally be able to launch the Tritium rocket🙏

I'm really impressed that Jared finally pulled it off and is back in the running as NASA admin. There are reasonable questions about how he'd be as an admin, but I think we can all agree, it's better than folding NASA into the department of transportation. 🙃 arstechnica.com/space/2025/1...

The fact that all I see scrolling the space feeds on bluesky is stuff like an ad referring to the Orion spacecraft as a "satellite" and depicting it with laser solar panels should tell you all you need to know about the space "community" on this website.

I CANT BELIEVE ITS BEEN ONE YEAR SINCE MY FAVORITE SPACECRAFT LAUNCHED 🥹 europa clipper is well on its way to jupiter and i can’t wait to see what we learn about this incredible ocean world. i love being a part of something so special!!! 🌌🛰️❄️

look you can hate musk for other reasons but this whole article is riddled with biased language, bad sources. incredibly bad hit piece right from the get go. that dude Loverro mentioned 7 times in this piece is corrupt. here's a point by point rebuttal by a former NASA guy. x.com/CJHandmer/st...

Working a bit on the Eagle nebula while waiting for clear skies in Tucson.

we're a little early today because of reasons but there are like interstellar comets and stuff and a new glenn and maybe isaacman admin is only mostly dead???? www.youtube.com/watch?v=_d6k...

How the craziness of today has me feelin'

My gingerbreads from the last four years. Any recommendations for this year's?

Still impressed that my family made this now that we're bringing it out again this year

Question for any space folks who have an idea - I'm working on a little project, and I'm trying to figure out what the actual exterior of Haven 1 will look like. Some renders depict it as a matte white, others as just steel. Any ideas?

Just finished reading Andy Weir's Artemis, crossing off another notable space book I hadn't read. I enjoyed it, was a nice fun thriller with some interesting fleshing out of the setting. I was a bit disappointed to find that the reception of the story was mixed, or worse. Oh well, I liked it.

Holy shit. New image of the Sombrero Galaxy from #JWST just dropped. Look at that thing 😍

#SpaceX just launched the Starlink 12-1 Mission with Booster B1080, breaking the turnaround record between flights for the same 1st stage by ~1 week. This booster flew last time only 13 days and 13 hours ago.

Skylab with Columbia space shuttle commission by @aebdigital.bsky.social It’s quite challenging but there’re a lot fun things to play with this work. Thanks for the request! 🙏
