Humans are, and always have been explorers and dreamers... Ancient peoples dreamed of building mechanical wings and taking to the skies...we dream of standing on other planets and traversing the vast distance between the stars. It's the same dream.

@BryanLarsenArts Hey Bryan! I’m co-producer for the event. Would you mind sending me an email at victor@cosmicperspective.com ?

@Erdayastronaut @nevernorminal @AJamesMcCarthy Hey, @Erdayastronaut I’d seriously love to try and make this happen if you still have space to fill! I’m in Salt Lake City and can easily make the drive to Austin. Let me know and I’ll get some prints ordered to bring with me. I’d love to meet everyone!

Are you a space artist? Are you able to be in Austin, TX January 17-18? We had a few spots open up for to display art / have a booth that should be filled with some talent! Ping someone (besides @nevernorminal or @AJamesMcCarthy) that you think should show their art in person!

@KenKirtland17 @Truthful_ast Sounds very much like something a serial killer might say.. hmm..

@Truthful_ast Society so atomized the thought of encountering other humans is too much to bare

@bIazinguniverse I finished it 🥲

@victor_dls 6 🥹 how about now?

👨🏻‍🚀

@TylerBell314 Being there from the beginning was a cool experience. But yeah, totally different landscape now (literally)

I started at SpaceX just after flight 2. I remember telling my boss “I feel like I’ve missed everything”. I missed star hopper, flight 1, the belly flops, and most of the tent builds. I’ve come to realize that we’re still just at the beginning. Still.

@bIazinguniverse 12 👀

@victor_dls We did 🫂 What chapter are you on?

@bIazinguniverse Did we just start a book club?

@victor_dls hell yeah

I still think it’s kinda funny how SpaceX told the Brownsville airport they’d give them a Starship and then said “nvm but here’s a flap”

Thank god the rapture didn’t happen while I’m in South Carolina

I’m proud of this one. I brought a solar telescope to Florida to capture a Falcon 9 rocket launch transiting the sun. While these have been captured before, never with the details of the sun’s chromosphere, which makes this one the first! See the video or get the print below 👇

This isn’t right.

I am currently in the Southern Hemisphere taking astrophotos with my travel rig... and WOW I really need to come down here more often More photos to come.

What are your favorite space pictures? I’ll go first…

The Milky Way, From Above & Below Brazil, space photography in collaboration with National Geographic.
