Hello there.
Life update 2.0.
Now I’ve been on both the aircraft carriers, Go Vikrant!
Learned about helicopters at HAL,
Exploring my motorcycling hobby,
And slowly building up to get to that coveted IAF dream. 🤞🏻

[Pranav Gayatri @PranavGayatri]

Still holding out hope for this thing to work out,
yes i am delusional.

[Pranav Gayatri @PranavGayatri]

It’s time to change.

Dear @isro ❤️
The entire Indian spaceflight community stands united today, with just one request for you... 🇮🇳

#ISROfixYourPR

Every week or so, at least one student sends us a DM on @ISROSpaceflight, saying that they have some proposal or are working on a research paper, and they want to take it up to ISRO or have it reviewed by someone from ISRO. While not all of those are of good quality, some of them are! And you don't expect a fully polished research paper from a school or undergraduate student.

And they have tried everything to contact ISRO for years, but haven't received a reply.

If it was NASA, then they would have easily got a reply within 1 day.

These are people who already have the motivation, they just need some proper guidance and encouragement, and then even the sky won't be the limit for them, literally.

If ISRO does not provide that, they will get it from somewhere else, from outside India. As I said, it takes less than a day to receive a reply from NASA, and of their idea has merit, NASA will be all over it.

So @isro is, in fact, facilitating brain drain from India.

@nssdatta @ISROSpaceflight Just for everyone’s clarity, we aren’t the official handle, but it would be lovely if the official X handle had the same output as us :(

[Pranav Gayatri @PranavGayatri]

@thebigbang00 @ISROSpaceflight Hopefully, nothing concrete yet about this

[Pranav Gayatri @PranavGayatri]

@debapratim_ Jim did say it correctly in the vid tho, this is purely an ULAOOPS

[Pranav Gayatri @PranavGayatri]

@debapratim_ Operation #LetDebIn was a success

[Pranav Gayatri @PranavGayatri]

@debapratim_ @DhruvaSpace @iamkrishradha Wohoo! 🎉

[Pranav Gayatri @PranavGayatri]

@debapratim_ @ISROSpaceflight Will not be soon

@debapratim_ And let’s not forget, helping this man run @ISROSpaceflight 🫡

@debapratim_ It’s sarcasm.

@wiserishis @ISROSpaceflight It’s sarcasm.

@ishanspatil Awesome!

There are positives and then there are the negatives.
While the smugglers originated in Myanmar, they bypassed the Starlink geo-lock by procuring the terminals from nearby companies.
SpaceX should definitely look into a way to fix this misuse

Like i swear this always happens, i take a nap and spaceX has launched not one but two missions 😭😭
This has gotten too frequent and im loving it!

Imagine a 139 km wide radio telescope suspended inside Mimas' crater.

It would have about 215,000x the collecting area of the late Arecibo Observatory yet need not be thicker than aluminium foil to stand in this low gravity.

[American Space Enthusiast 🇺🇸 @USAspaceenjoyer]

tbh they should have fully tiled the entire nosecone of S26 and then just reentered it and tried to land it in the indian ocean. Why? There’s no real reason. No benefit. It would just be funny

[Pranav Gayatri @PranavGayatri]

I like how spacex made several different tweets about starships launch, but starlink launches have become so nominal for them that they didn’t even tweet about the Falcon 9 first stage landing again for the 16th time (like they usually do)
kudos actually!
