Humanity is a crew on a spaceship navigating an infinite universe. The problem is that too few of us have seen the ship from the outside.
The Overview Effect provides a necessary paradigm shift. The objective is to bring this perspective down to Earth so we can finally start acting like a unified crew instead of passengers.
We are mobilizing to send the man who defined this phenomenon to experience it firsthand. Help us send Frank to space and bring the Overview Effect down to Earth.

@OwenSparks Legend has it I can still hear Boeing screaming 'NO WAY'. Tiny SpaceX rocks... Starship delivers while Germany's sector drowns in paperwork.

NEWS: Tiny SpaceX rocks Boeing
Starship will now boost Orion and the Artemis crew to the Moon rather than Boeing's SLS.
Sawyer Merritt@SawyerMerritt
NEWS: NASA is planning a bigger @SpaceX Moon mission role using Starship, in a massive blow to Boeing. With the new proposal, Boeing's SLS would no longer be used to boost Orion close to the moon. Instead, Starship and Orion would dock in Earth orbit, giving Starship the pivotal role of propelling the capsule to the moon’s orbit, before taking astronauts down to the surface. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Really proud of what our @vast team achieved with our Haven Demo mission. Next up : Haven-1
Vast@vast
Mission complete. After three months in orbit and 49 tests completed validating critical systems, components, and processes, we have successfully performed a controlled deorbit of Haven Demo, our in-space testbed for Haven-1 technologies. Read more. vastspace.com/updates/haven-…

NASA went to asteroid Bennu expecting sand but instead it was all boulders. AstroForge employee Andy Ryan was formerly the Lead Scientist on OSIRIS-REx's sample physical and thermal analysis working group. Their paper just dropped. We talk about it here: apple.co/40550YW

It is 2026 CE ... and the conquest of space is denied by plywood blowing about in the wind.
William Harwood@cbs_spacenews
Artemis II: NASA is standing by to roll the Artemis II Space Launch System rocket back out to pad 39B; the move has been delayed more than 2 hours now because of blustery winds that are blowing protective plywood sheets about inside the Vehicle Assembly Building; the plywood is laid down in front of the massive treads of NASA's crawler-transporter to protect the building's concrete floor and door fittings when the SLS rocket and its mobile launch platform are carried into or out of the VAB

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

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.
English
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!

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.

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

What's going to happen to these people when Artemis II launches? One thing's for certain: We need to send many, many more people to space to experience the Overview Effect.

@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!

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

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.
