This brought happy tears to my eyes. Not only is #JohnMcFall an inspiration, but #NASA is leading the way showing the world #disabled people make valuable contributions to society.

Star guest at #DMIdk's colloquium today. Danish #Astronaut #AndreasMogensen will spend 6 months on the #ISS where he will be carrying out some experimental observations of #Earthshine on the #Moon in collaboration with my colleague @Hotblack43 to assess #Clouds surface #albedo and to scope a new #Satellite mission to assess #TOA #Radiation in #ClimateModels

Raumfahrt: Blue Origin stellt Solarzelle aus Mondstaub her (Golem.de)
Menschen auf dem #Mond sollen sich künftig möglichst vor Ort versorgen können. Blue Origin hat gezeigt, dass die Komponenten für Solarzellen aus Regolith gewonnen werden können. Als praktisches Nebenprodukt fällt Sauerstoff an.

A 20th century reframing.
Here the map is no longer centered on the capital city, or a region, or country, but the realization that our geographical neighborhood is a lot bigger. With a dose of post-war optimism, now the solar system is the domain of humans. #space #NASA #maps #map #dataviz #datavisualization #astronaut

Which astronauts have been the keenest space gardeners?
On my list I have:
🌱Scott Kelly, dubbed the "On Orbit Gardener" for rescuing the space zinnias.
🌱Mike Foale, referred to as "Farmer Foale" for continuing his plant experiments on Mir after the Progress collision.
🌱Don Pettit, who grew the famous "Space Zucchini" (and also sprouted seeds in his underpants...)
Who else?

I don't blame him, imagine being #UK first #astronaut strapped to a rocket slung under a ex #virgin #atlantic 747, he probably recalled that #BorisJohnson was involved.

Tim Peake is resigning as an active #ESA #astronaut to take on an ambassadorial role for #space.

Some of the biggest risks astronauts have to deal with are #spaceweather, and the ensuing space debris that may result after violent space weather such as solar storm, CMEs, and solar wind.
Our high-fidelity, data-driven mapping of the #ionosphere can issue forecasts in real time, helping astronauts - and other organizations in space mitigate and protect themselves against unruly space weather.

So very sorry to hear that Walt Cunningham - the Command Module Pilot of the first crewed Apollo mission (Apollo 7) - has passed away at the age of 90.
Godspeed, Walt!
Here's a photo I took of him in 2016 in Dallas, TX.

Those #iROSA panels really are something else… Increased efficiency in weight, cost, and power output. This #technology will eventually provide power for #Gateway and future crewed missions to #Mars.
