I'm sorry, I shouldn't laugh, but this NASA article headline is:

"NASA purchases more Russian flights, maybe for the last time"

How hopeful. The article is dated 2014, we didn't have an operational crew vehicle until 2020.

Hi all! I'm still in a newsletter subscription push mode -- with the demise of the bird app, it's gotten really hard to get the word out about projects like this that don't have an internal algorithm to help people find it.

If you like #space, #science, #stem, or just want to support a woman of color doing STEM stuff -- please subscribe! Ad Astra is a weekly newsletter that tells you what's going on in space science and spaceflight.

A few people have pointed out that it's worth mentioning that my newsletter is on Beehiiv, not on Substack.

I chose a service that doesn't platform hate speech, and the tradeoff was I gave up on the other service's internal algorithm and tools for helping people find your publication.

Hence why I'm doing this push. Beehiiv is GREAT, they have been really good to me, and I very much recommend their service.

NASA found something weird at the edge of the solar system.

Let’s talk about what New Horizons found in the Kuiper Belt, and why we know so little about this part of our solar system:

Normal day as a space reporter, just watching a video of a spacecraft flying through our sun and looking out at the Milky Way 🤯

A daring mission to revive a defunct NASA telescope? Let's talk about Spitzer Resurrector and speculate on why the Space Force (and not NASA!) is interested in this mission.
