"Nesvold’s timely warning is bolstered by nuanced ethics and her careful attention to how colonization has historically been accompanied by injustice and violence. This raises hard questions that deserve serious consideration." From Publishers Weekly: publishersweekly.com/9780262047548

My recent paper with Chris Kempes on the epistemology of astrobiology was quoted in this really nice article in Nautilus: nautil.us/will-we-know-a…

With all this talk about shuttle tiles it’s a good time to re-share this demo showing how you could handle GLOWING HOT space shuttle TPS tiles right after they came out of an oven at > 2000 K due to their insulating properties. Material science magic

🧵📈🛰 This is not a projection— There’s a general lack of perspective and awareness of the accelerating growth in space infrastructure. Led by @spacex; it’s an opportunity more significant than the early days of the internet. Charts made possible by @planet4589 GCAT dataset.

Hi, I wrote a book. Off-Earth: Ethical Questions and Quandaries for Living in Outer Space is about all the ethics & human rights challenges facing us in space. It asks: What can we learn from our past mistakes to build a better future in space? mitpress.mit.edu/9780262047548/

You heard it here first: We have countersigned a tentative agreement and the strike is ending. Stay tuned for the official joint statement from part-time faculty and New School management. We look forward to returning to our students.

@mathiasverraes Allow us to invite @akvileterm & @EllieTheElement to share their thoughts on intimacy, sex, & space They’ve also spoken on this before: youtu.be/uIiGTBh2EPU

But seriously though: why shouldn't astronauts have sex?

Thank you, Nick and everyone who came to all the readings, for being part of the discussion, the insights and hopefully, the ongoing story about who we are in relation to our times, places and space/s. 🙏🚀🌎

Today we held our final meeting of our Star Ark group Thank you to everyone who attended, and @livingarchitect for producing this amazing work!

We have retrieved signal with @NASA_Orion after an expected loss of signal when the spacecraft flew directly behind the Moon. You can see Earth in the distance. That's us. #Artemis nasa.gov/artemislive

New space dystopia unlocked! This paper finds human blood protein, combined with Martian or Lunar rock, makes a substance as hard as concrete. To make it stronger by 300%, add urea "which could be extracted from the urine, sweat or tears of astronauts." sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Great to work with brilliant graduate students: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
