Haven’t heard this discussed much, but Butch and Suni have now tied John Young’s record for the most spacecraft types flown in space (4). Pretty cool silver lining to the whole thing.

Welcome home to the Crew-9 astronauts — NASA’s Nick Hague, Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore and Roscosmos cosmonaut Aleksandr Gorbunov. Your dedication and unwavering commitment to space exploration inspires us all.

This was so fascinating. I had a teflon knitting needle on @iss and charged it by rubbing with my Russian fur boots. Then I directed water droplets from a syringe towards the charged knitting needle and this is the resulting dynamics. The droplets, due to charge forces, go…
July 20th, 1969 is a date that stands high in my life – it was the day that we, together as one people, achieved the greatest scientific and technological feat in human history. The specific role that Neil, Mike and I performed in the event was but one part of an immeasurably…
@DrPhiltill I feel like it’s too prominent. In a raw photo, an item smeared by motion blur loses contrast. For a 1/2” long object being smeared by about a foot, it would be like 95% fainter than if it were still. The bright sky would bleed through and wash out the moving object as it would…
