Here’s something cool announced last week… on Christmas Eve the Parker Solar Probe will make its fastest (430,000 mph) and closest (3.8 million miles) approach to the Sun!

Breaking its own records for speed and closest approach to our star.

Jared Isaacman nominated to be the next NASA Administrator. Awesome choice! And so early in the establishment of the new Administration, often NASA has to wait till last-ish. Perhaps this is a bellwether of the new Administration’s plans for NASA!

We don’t hear much talk these days about β€œBig Data.” I think that’s because we’ve begun to understand that all data is valuable. How do you retain control of your data files, images and videos?

Picture: from my swag box, unrelated but cool stuff.

Advice needed: I have a contract with an amazing IT startup to endorse their product a few times per month on legacy social media platforms. Would it be bad form to put this posts on Bluesky as well? (I’m still learning the Bluesky etiquette)

Hi Seria, I saved my lawn mowing money when I was a kid in the late 60’s and bought an inexpensive 3” refractor. Sadly, I didn’t know anyone who could show me how to use it (and there was no YouTube). But once I started working at NASA I became inspired by the Hubble!

I’m new here on Bluesky! So excited for the refresh.
Though, I admit I feel a little like I’m out in the Kuiper Belt!

Let’s chat about Tech, Space, Poetry and life hacks!

Maybe we can get some Clubhouse-esque dialogs going?

(I also LOVE Dad jokes!)
