Occasionally dabble in unlocking mysteries of the universe. Most days spent figuring out the simpler things.

Trying out a new idea and would love feedback! Check out our Giant Leap podcast launching this week. Each hour long episode will cover the future of a different topic in science with leading experts and friends @GiantLeap_pod (1)

@KUNRPublicRadio Would love to hear feedback on our early releases, this will help us hone the style and content. Our first episodes debuting this month include interviews on scientific exploration, human spaceflight, and the brain. (3)

For more on the threat, and why space must remain a peaceful common domain of human endeavor here is a doc I hosted on the topic. At the 8:40 mark you can see a simulated exercise to the same event we just witnessed. https://t.co/6tgEFvAvwm

ASAT tests, like the one that recently destroyed Kosmos 1408, are among the most reckless of military pursuits. They not only endanger the lives of those aboard crewed spacecraft in LEO, they threaten civilian satellites we rely on back here on earth. (1/6)

I’m beginning to think it may be time for a new global agreement, one that sets expectations for an increasingly busy space environment, that prohibits the use of kinetic action, and makes responsible users out of all spacefaring people. (6/6)

@CaptMarkKelly @GabbyGiffords Congratulations @CaptMarkKelly. So happy for you and @GabbyGiffords and so well deserved. I know you will help unify our great country and serve the citizens of your state and our nation, regardless of their politics, with incredible intellect, empathy, and decency.

...and about all those inspired to dream; a new generation of explorers casting off on moonshots of their own (including this little guy)

Today as we mark the 50th anniversary of the crescendo in humanity’s greatest adventure, let us take a moment to think about the hundreds of thousands of people who toiled tirelessly to make this achievement possible...

...about a young president with an ambitious goal, and a belief in the spirit of an enterprising and adventurous nation founded on the ideals of progress and a better tomorrow...

Happy 30th birthday to the Web, an incredible force for good that has created unimagined access to knowledge. Tune in tonight as we discuss the challenges and future of this amazing tool w/ @timberners_lee @ @sciencemuseum in London. @_thenewnow #Web30 https://t.co/xKNeEXjLQz

@ChrisRyanOKC Compact salt cooled reactors are still under development! Most of current work is going into developing the supporting mtrls and technology (supercritical CO2 power conversion, advanced ceramics) before a prototype in not so distant future. First gen Uranium but Pu future option

Congratulations @richardbranson @gtwhitesides and all of @virgingalactic. A beautiful sight to see a US built crewed spacecraft back above 80 km, and an achievement that is a true testament to perseverance against long odds. Per Aspra Ad Astra, for all of us. 🌍🌏🌎

Science at its best gives us small glimpses of our place in the universe & InSight is perfect bearer of that torch. It won’t be the last prints we leave on Mars. But landing an experiment this precise will be demonstrative of how far we’ve come in our exploration of the cosmos.

For 30 years Bruce Banerdt has dreamed of peering into the interior of another planet. Today, he and his team of scientists and engineers look to fulfill that dream.

In doing so this mission will give us answers about the evolutionary history of our planet, our solar system, and those rocky planets in galaxies far far away. How active are these worlds- do they have magnetic fields to protect the fragile atmospheres capable of supporting life?
