A reader on The Space Review is criticizing me for the "behavior" I "exhibit" in my article (www.thespacereview.com/article/4975/1). Interesting. I'm also "very out of touch" because I think there's a connection between space exploration and religion. Aw, man. Sorry, guys. Here's my new earworm.

I wrote about NS-31 for The Space Review.
No, I’m not calling Katy Perry an astronaut.
Yes, Shatner & Bezos got FAA wings for the same kind of flight in 2021.
Yes, science happened on board.
Mae Jemison backed it.
And yes, it felt “wrong” to folks—because it meant something we didn’t expect.

🧵 GET UP, STAND UP 🧵
As cowardly institutions submit to Trump’s bullying and blackmail, I decided to put together this thread highlighting people and groups standing up to him. Let’s celebrate them. If we stay strong, we can defeat the fascists. 1/16

The immorality shouldn't surprise me but it does.

Breathtakingly incomprehensible.

Sure, why not?

Samesies.

...views of space itself (the ultraview effect), and other spacescapes, comparing them to similar experiences on Earth and suggesting ways these views may impact astronaut behavior and mood.

The abstract reads: This study, based on ethnographic research on the subjective experiences of astronauts in space, reveals the cultural, spiritual, and cognitive impact views of the Earth (the overview effect)...

Learned today my poster session for the NASA Human Research Program Investigators Workshop was accepted! My presentation is called COSMIC VISTAS AND SPACEFARING CULTURE.

guys. there was a whole movie about this.

I hate this.

Chat I had last month with @specolations.bsky.social . Our conversation starts about 20 minutes in. @vaticanobservatory.bsky.social

I'm so sorry for your loss.

Fun Thanksgiving with my brother teaching him about snow!

At the American Anthropological Association meetings in Tampa. Finishing breakfast and about to take the Ybor trolley to the convention center…

Oof

Vaccine shows promise against aggressive breast cancer | WashU Medicine Clinical trial targeted recurrence of hard-to-treat triple-negative breast cancer

Good morning, Bluesky. Today’s #GoodMorningNews: a trial at Washington University’s school of medicine has shown great results for a vaccine that would prevent recurrence for a particularly aggressive form of breast cancer. It’s a small trial, but 3 years later 16/18 participants remain cancer free

Sooo cool.

I think it was recorded... Other Bob would know. How long are you in AZ this time?

Fun couple of days bumming around with my friends from the #vaticanobservatory, including @specolations.bsky.social. Lots of talking, long drives (including one that was half academic senate meeting via Zoom!). Now I'm tired but at least it's Friday!

Yes, this is AI. But I still kind of like it.

I just can’t believe how quickly the 2017 Muslim ban was forgotten. I remember marching against that at the Grand Rapids airport, and watched how desperate refugees were blocked from coming to this country and joining their families. Terrified now how deportations and more will affect communities.

Howdy!

I haven’t posted here in a while because it was pretty dead, but I will say hello and see what happens.

This article I wrote has just been published on The Space Review. Who get to decide whether the Moon is sacred? And if it is, what does that mean?

This is rekindling my urge to study tourism…

I was supposed to go to the American Anthropological Association meetings in Toronto on Tuesday. Instead, I canceled my flight and flew out to California Wednesday morning to spend my mom‘s last two days with her. It was for sure the right decision. I am so sad. Rest in peace, Carlyn Weibel.
