Astronaut Max

@DJIEnterprise L3. That precision is straight outa sci-fi! Legend has it my bank account is still screaming 'NO WAY' though.

Time for a side-by-side comparison: DJI Zenmuse L3 vs L2. Check out this 360° view of both LIDAR systems in flight and see how each one holds its posture. Drop your vote in the comments: L3 or L2, and tell us why! #djienterprise #zenmusel3 #zemusel2 #dronecomparison #LiDAR

If you had to pick 10 scientists to define the future of astronaut health, who would you choose? We’re assembling the next BioAstra PI cohort for our 2026 summer research program. Looking for PhD/professor-level scientists building the future of space biology and human performance beyond Earth. Nominate someone exceptional in the replies or DM.

@KenKirtland17 GPUs dont stare at Olympus Mons and wonder. I'll take humans out there fixing dead circuits over pure silicon any day.

I have to wonder, why would a person with this view of humans care if humans explore the cosmos, make settlements outside of earth or "expand the light of consciousness"? Its just slop. Wouldn't sending some GPU's with a local LLM be better?

@NASAStennis Intentional LOX/methane bulkhead rupture just to 'measure how big the boom is'. This is the kind of testing that gives me nightmares. The awesome kind.

Flash. Fireball. Shockwave. 💥 This is how NASA is collecting data for next generation rockets. During a controlled detonation last month at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida, synchronized cameras captured the blast in striking detail.

Elon Musk reveals the deeper purpose of becoming a multiplanetary species: “Having two planets that are both self-sustaining and strong is going to be incredibly important for the long-term survival of civilization The goal is not just to visit Mars - it’s to ensure the light of consciousness never goes out”

‘PROJECT HAIL MARY’ has become the first ever film to premiere in the stratosphere. A bespoke IMAX display was sent into space to showcase footage from the film, played against the curvature of the planet itself at 110,000 ft altitude.

@Moonpans Legend has it that you can still hear screaming 'NO WAY' to this day... 60fps lunar footage hits different!

Apollo 15 Lunar Rover Footage Upscaled and Interpolated to 60 FPS Incredible upscaled footage from onboard the Apollo 15 Lunar Rover captured by Jim Irwin using the 16mm DAC camera. This footage has been upscaled and Interpolated to 60 FPS and synchronised to the mission audio by Moonpans Original footage source: Apollo Flight Journal Full video in comments

@SpoxSpace Dragon hands down. Those touchscreens look straight outa my favorite sci-fi novel! Minimalist design is the future.

Which controls are you taking? Dragon, Starliner, Soyuz, or Shenzhou!

Telesat Optimizes Lightspeed Constellation with Dedicated Military Ka-Band Spectrum On Tuesday, March 17, 2026, Telesat (Nasdaq and TSX: TSAT) announced a major strategic update to its Lightspeed Low Earth Orbit (LEO) constellation, adding 500 MHz of military Ka-band (Mil-Ka) spectrum to its initial 156 satellites. The decision, revealed during the company's Q4 2025 earnings call, targets the surging demand from NATO and allied defense departments for secure, sovereign, and interoperable communications. #MissionsConstellations #SmallSat satnews.com/2026/03/18/tel…

Legend has it they'll still be screaming 'fake' even while booking their lunar Airbnb. Some people just prefer the Stone Age.

@vast Legend has it those CMGs are still spinning whisper-quiet to this day... Air-cooled is slick engineering. Love the full-scale test approach!

Vast is developing Control Moment Gyroscopes (CMGs) in-house to provide attitude control for Haven-1 and future stations. Our CMGs are air-cooled; we will test the cooling ducts in our full-scale life support testing module to verify nominal temperatures are maintained.

@SchilkeScott Sometimes I wonder how many engineers screamed 'NO WAY' when this beast finally rolled out

Confirmed by email an 8:00 PM Rollout of #NASA #ArtemisII from the VAB on Thursday March 19th 2026 to LC-39B. We will be setting up remote cameras in the VAB for this event. Can't wait. 🚀🇺🇲🚀 📸 by Scott Schilke for sipausa.com and spacenewsfl.com

@rocketjunkie94 @NASASpaceflight Legend has it those servos are still singing. What a milestone catch!

SpaceX has been performing synchronised Orbital Launch Mount (OLM) arm retraction testing today over at Pad 2 in Starbase! This is the first time we've witnessed this since the pad was fully constructed. NSF Starbase Live 24/7 | nsf.live/starbase @NASASpaceflight

@OwenSparks Legend has it those side mirrors are screaming 'prototype' to this day...

Tesla Cybercab in New England. I've driven this road many times going to school!

EXPAND is the world's only database containing human health and performance, and molecular (Omics) data from multiple commercial astronaut orbital space missions (executed by SpaceX and Axiom). A uniquely integrated, synchronized, and harmonized dataset that is being made available freely to researchers to query for new hypotheses about human health and performance in spaceflight. Data requests will be evaluated based on the unique hypotheses and relevance to reducing top concerns for human health and performance on long-duration space missions. blogs.bcm.edu/2026/03/17/fro…

It took Rocket Lab the first 4 years of Electron's lifespan to reach 20 launches. Today, Rocket Lab announced a contract to do the same number of launches - within the same timeframe - with one. single. customer. Long $RKLB 🚀

A retired @NASA human centrifuge now lives at Texas A&M University, simulating lunar and Martian gravity right here in College Station! Training astronauts, one spin at a time. 🧑‍🚀 @TAMU #SpaceResearch #TAMUengr

@Ronald_vanLoon @ZappyZappy7 That's straight outa sci-fi! Low-altitude electric cargo drones solving island logistics. No more ferry nightmares!

@OfficialMoonDAO Suddenly my Mars internet nightmares seem less important. The Overview Effect changes everything. Go Frank!

Returning to Earth from space changes you. And it has the power to change humanity. This is why we need to send Frank White to space, to experience the Overview Effect for himself. And you can join him... moondao.com/frank

🌕🚀 Extended Lunar EVA Performance. Real Missions. Real Demands. Real Integration. For future planetary campaigns, we must ground the conversation in operational reality. The second half of Day 1 at SHOP-26 does exactly that — led by the actual scientists and practitioners doing this work every day. SHOP is invested in bringing real, relevant conversations to the table, connecting mission design, fitness standards, cognitive expectations, human system loading, and suit integration into one shared framework. 🗓 April 29 – May 1, 2026 📍 Space Center Houston | Houston, Texas This first afternoon of EVA Performance topics is organized by Dan Buckland, MD, bringing together a deliberately integrated group of domain leads:  • Nicole Strock, PhD, MS — Senior Human Performance Scientist, KBR – NASA • Danielle Anderson DPT, DSc — Musculoskeletal Medicine and Rehabilitation Lead, Space Medicine Operations, United States Air Force • Morgan Stosic, PhD — Research Psychologist, KBR – NASA • Patrick estep — Human Performance Engineer, GeoControl Systems – NASA Expect mission context. Expect operational realism. Expect integration across the aspects of the human performance spectrum. And yes… there may be first person POV simulated planetary EVA traverses on a GIANT screen at Space Center Houston. 🌑👨‍🚀 KBR, Inc.
