A day after liftoff, Artemis II is now well on its way. Four astronauts are on a ten-day voyage around the moon and back, traveling deeper into space than any human has ever before. @IAmAmnaNawaz speaks to @milesobrien about what's happening now and what comes next.

And there's @milesobrien on @CNN #ArtemisII

I know I'm biased, but its moments like these when @cnn is so so good. A long (stressful) wait filled with a smart panel with former NASA astronauts, led by @Boris_Sanchez with our @milesobrien and @petemuntean has been informative, gracious and engaging. Bravo. #Artemis

The National Transportation Safety Board said it was likely a series of failures that led to the accident at LaGuardia Airport when an Air Canada jet struck a fire truck responding to a possible emergency with another plane. @milesobrien has more.

A deadly runway collision at LaGuardia is more than an accident—it’s a warning about the limits of an overstretched aviation system. open.substack.com/pub/milesobrie…

A century-old aviation mystery may finally be within reach. In Part 3 of Miles Ahead, we follow the evidence to a remote pond in Newfoundland—and make a push to solve the fate of the White Bird before 2027. Listen now.

Revisiting one of the most haunting aviation stories I’ve ever covered: Japan Airlines Flight 123 — the deadliest single-aircraft crash in history. Part 1 of my series with Lars Perkins explores how a routine flight became an unimaginable tragedy — and the human stories inside it. #JAL123 #AviationSafety #BlackBox #AviationHistory Black Box Revisited: The Deadliest Single Plane Crash- Part 1, by @milesobrien open.substack.com/pub/milesobrie…

@RyneJones7 You obviously know nothing about my work on this subject.

@milesobrien we need nuclear power. have the balls to say it.

The U.S. power demand boom is here. AI, data centers, rising costs—and one Texas coal plant planning a solar future. My latest story for PBS NewsHour. @milesobrien open.substack.com/pub/milesobrie…

@Pkort Thank you for that catch! Just fixed it

@milesobrien Part 1 seems to be missing from the podcast feed

Two weeks before Lindbergh, two French aviators may have already crossed the Atlantic. Listen now. #WhiteBird #AviationHistory #MilesAhead The White Bird Mystery Deepens, by @milesobrien open.substack.com/pub/milesobrie…

@eXnihilo448 @SciGuySpace npt supported by the facts

@SciGuySpace A french guy was the first to fly too, not the Wright bros. Clément Ader

This is a fascinating bit of aviation history!

@xist8tial @SciGuySpace Actually, to be accurate, the point was New York to Paris or vice versa. It was all about winning the Orteig prize.

@SciGuySpace Alcock and Brown crossed the Atlantic in 1919. The point of Lindbergh's flight in 1927 was that it was solo.

@SciGuySpace Thanks Eric!

@MaggieL please listen to the series

@milesobrien It's a complicated topic. Lindberg was the world's first superstar, celebrity created by the media.

@MaggieL You are correct. I will tweak.

@milesobrien Of course, Lindbergh's historic flight was solo. Alcock and Brown did the first non-stop crossing, and there was NC-4, but multi-stop and other qualifiers.

@Friscofied @NewsHour Thanks!

The war in Iran and the spike in oil and gas prices are again highlighting the world’s dependence on fossil fuels. As demand on the U.S. electric grid continues to grow, the Trump administration has moved to roll back subsidies and incentives for some renewables. A new industry report finds solar installations fell 14% over the past year. @milesobrien has more.
