🚀 Space nerds unite! 🌍✨ Did you know you can track the International Space Station (ISS) live as it orbits Earth at an incredible speed of 28,000 km/h? Thanks to NASA's tracking tool, you can now literally keep an eye on humanity’s home away from home, floating above our heads! 🌌 🔗 Check it out here: Spot the Station - NASA (https://lnkd.in/g36cWUs) The ISS completes an orbit every 90 minutes, allowing the astronauts aboard to see 16 sunrises and sunsets in just one Earth day! 🌞🌚 📡 But what makes the ISS even more fascinating? Besides serving as a hub for cutting-edge research - ranging from biology and materials science to space technology - it's also a symbol of international collaboration. Scientists from around the world unite for the sake of advancing knowledge and pushing boundaries of what's possible in space. ⚡ Quick ISS Facts: • Altitude: 400 km above Earth 🌍 • Operates with solar panels the size of a football field 🏟️ • Hosts an average of 6 astronauts at a time 🚀 Curious about when it'll pass over your location? Get notified via email or text from NASA and watch it streak across the night sky! It’s one of the brightest objects up there - and no telescope required! 👨🚀👩🚀 Pro Tip: Next time you catch the ISS passing overhead, take a moment to think about how this orbiting lab plays a critical role in the future of space exploration - maybe even our journey to Mars. 🛰️ #SpaceExploration #STEM #SpaceNerd #ISS #TechInnovation #NASA #InternationalCollaboration #STEM

Accounting fun fact of the month! Did you know that even astronauts need accountants? NASA employs accountants to manage the financial aspects of space missions, including budgets and expenditures for space exploration. The more you know! #funfact #accountingfact #didyouknow

SpaceX’s Crew-9 mission is a significant development! By sending only two astronauts, Nick Hague and Aleksandr Gorbunov, to the ISS, SpaceX has ensured there is enough room to bring back Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore, who were stranded due to issues with Boeing’s Starliner. This mission highlights the flexibility and reliability of SpaceX’s Crew Dragon spacecraft, especially in emergency situations. It’s also a testament to the collaborative efforts between NASA, SpaceX, and international partners to ensure the safety and success of space missions. The decision to use Crew Dragon for the return trip underscores the importance of having multiple reliable spacecraft options for crewed missions. What are your thoughts on the increasing role of private companies like SpaceX in space exploration?

ICYMI 🚀 Crew-8’s Historic Return After 235 Days in Space 🌍 On Friday morning, NASA astronauts Matthew Dominick, Michael Barratt, and Jeanette Epps, along with Roscosmos cosmonaut Alexander Grebenkin, safely returned to Earth after a record-breaking 235 days aboard the International Space Station (ISS) as part of SpaceX’s Crew-8 mission. Their journey, which set a new benchmark for the longest U.S. crewed space mission, concluded with a splashdown in the Gulf of Mexico. Following the landing, all four crew members were transferred to a medical facility near Pensacola, Florida, for health evaluations— a standard procedure after extended missions. While three team members returned to NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, one astronaut remained in the hospital under observation. According to NASA, this precaution was taken “out of an abundance of caution,” with no further details shared to respect medical privacy. NASA’s Commercial Crew Program Deputy Manager, Richard Jones, shared that the crew was in “great” health immediately following their return, noting the rigorous medical checks as part of standard protocol after prolonged space missions. The Crew-8 mission faced delays, including weather challenges and issues with the Boeing Starliner spacecraft, pushing their return into late October. These astronauts' commitment embodies resilience and teamwork, highlighting the ever-evolving nature of human space exploration. #SpaceX #NASA #Crew8 #SpaceExploration #Teamwork

As June turns to July, two veteran NASA test pilots are enjoying a slightly longer stay at the International Space Station. This delay in returning to earth will allow engineers to fix problems on their Boeing Starliner capsule, problems that arose on their June 5 trip to the orbiting laboratory. Delayed or not, what is the experience of life like 250 miles above terra firma? Such was the focus of the "Live From Space: NASA Astronauts & Your Work in Orbit" panel at SXSW 2024. In addition to three speakers on-stage in Austin, this session featured a live remote Q&A from NASA astronauts Jeanette Epps and Loral O'Hara. Watch the video of this session via the SXSW YouTube page: https://lnkd.in/gd-9R_3p What excites you most about the various projects in which NASA is currently involved? SpaceX or Blue Origin or someone else -- which of the private space companies has the best vision for the future? How does the addition of new international players change the space game? Speaking proposals about space exploration are a great fit for the SXSW PanelPicker (often these fit into the "2050" track).

🚨 Astronauts Could Remain in Space for 8 Months Due to Starliner Issues. Originally set for an 8-day mission, Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore could now remain in space for up to 8 months if they can’t return on Starliner. NASA is exploring the option of bringing them back on SpaceX’s Dragon, though it comes with its own risks. Watch our Editor-in-Chief, Dr. Emma Gatti, break down this situation in more detail with BBC News. https://lnkd.in/dPXVzgGh Stay tuned for our next #Spacenugget with more insights from Dr. Emma. 🎥 #SpaceExploration #NASA #SpaceNews

CRYPTOCURRENCY & REYGITONIUM-G TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: I ABSOLUTELY SEE NOTHING WRONG WITH CRYPTOCURRENCY: REYGITONIUM-G I CAN UNDERSTAND WHY THE INFANT DEMOCRATIC-CAPITALISTIC MINDS OF TODAY BLAME USA GOVERNMENT. THEN IS ANY GOVERNMENT TO BE BLAMED FOR HOMELESS PROBLEMS PLAGUING THE WORLD.? NO. GOD KNOWS HEADACHES USA GOVERNMENT HAVE WITH THE FOREIGN AFFAIRS. THE NEW WORLD PRACTICALLY SHOCK TO WITNESS. PEOPLE ONLY WORKING TOGETHER FOR A COMMON GOAL. "IN THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS." DOESN'T THAT ALSO INCLUDE THE HOMELESS. THE HOMELESS ARE OUT THERE. ARE YOU.? HOMELESS.. OPPORTUNITY MISUNDERSTOOD. The modern economic system is a market economy, which is a capitalist economy where people, not the government--NOT THE GOVERNMENT--own most businesses. In a capitalist economy, prices allocate capital and labor between competing uses, and capital assets can be privately owned and controlled. https://lnkd.in/eB98Jnv9 EXAMPLE, IF YOU NEED TO RAISE MONEY FOR ANY REASON OR MORE SO LETS SAY THE "HOMELESS" PROBLEM WHICH IS BELIEVED TO BE TIME & MONEY CONSUMING BUT IN ONE DIRECTION TOWARD THE HOMELESS. HOWEVER CRYPTOCURRENCY CAN POSSIBLE ALLOWS AN EXPENDITURE OF CURRENCY TO BENEFIT ALL WHO USES THE CRYPTO & REGARDLESS OF HOW IT'S CONSUMED. THEREFORE IF A CRYPTO HOMELESS CURRENCY REYGITONIUM-G EXISTED IT'S MORE HIGHLY LIKELY THAT THE HOMELESS PROBLEM CAN BE VANQUISHED BECAUSE CURRENCY-FINANCES IT'S ALWAYS AVAILABLE TO BE TAPPED INTO FOR HOMELESS RESOLUTIONS.
