@BBC_Future @pinstripedline Then in May I had wrote about the important fight to save our space heritage on Earth, in orbit and other planets also for @BBC_Future. Featuring space archeologists...Justin Walsh, @drspacejunk and Beth O’Leary Link ⬇️ 4/9 #space #Archaeology

Regular reminder that tampons were not tested with blood until 2023. Before then, they were just tested with water, and SURPRISE, the results over-estimated the absorbency.

IQ tests are not scientifically valid.

@CHASS_Aus @drspacejunk The fact that Australia had a White Australia Policy seems startling to the many who deny Australia is racist. It’s there in clearly legislated policy. Federation was based on this as a foundation principle. Racists are gutless liars. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Aus…

An Interview with Julia Kolchinsky "If you haven’t written a moon poem, how are you even a writer?...it’s just truly something that we’re so obsessed with because it’s this entity, right, that’s always there but also not always seen." Read here: kuaf.com/show/ozarks-at…

@MrOldfield2U @NASAWatch Who contributed land, labour and expert staff? They were run by Australians.

@drspacejunk @NASAWatch Who funded,built, and ran them?

While I am at it @drspacejunk here's a longer list of the things that my country has accomplished. No politics. Just science and exploration. And as an American I am rather proud of this - and would like to see other nations join in. It takes a planet to explore the universe. Meanwhile #NASA has led the way thus far by: - touching the sun - visiting every planet in our solar system - discovering over 6,000 planets orbiting other stars - launched the first weather and Earth resource satellites - sending humans to walk on another world - doing the first offworld search for life - moving an asteroid - finding water on the Moon and Mars - discovering oceans inside icy moons - sailing across interstellar space - peering back to the dawn of the universe - developing a global brand that all nations aspire to

@BowTiedGlasFrog @NASAWatch American exceptionalism is an ideology, Mr Frog, and generally considered by the rest of the world to be a bad thing.

@NASAWatch @drspacejunk Never apologize to these types of people. They don’t understand American exceptionalism including in space

Oh please @drspacejunk Can't a lefty like me be proud of my country's achievements in space? Go bother someone who cares.

@Dr_M_Davis I think the responses to my tweet show just how much it was about nationalism!

Alice, the US and indeed the world should celebrate this magnificent achievement. So I respectfully disagree with your suggestion its about 'nationalism.' This is about humanity's future as a space-faring civilisation, that will take humans across the solar system - and maybe, one day - to nearby star systems.

Nationalism in space

The Hind Rajab Foundation announces it has submitted a 120 page filing to the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague, revealing the names of 24 Israeli soldiers implicated in the killing of Palestinian child Hind Rajab, six members of her family, along with two Palestinian Red Crescent paramedics, Yusuf al-Zeino and Ahmed al-Madhoun, who were deliberately targeted while trying to rescue her on 29 January 2024 in Gaza City.
