A friend of mine is looking for a podcast series about space. She isn’t looking for news or tech or pop culture — she wants that deep space learning! Does anyone have recommendations?
As an astro you are not always the one doing the EVA (even if you would prefer that!). Here @Astro2fish and I were training as the intravehicular crew to suit up 2 other crewmembers. The procedures are literally hundreds of steps long and pretty much every one of them is critical to the success of the spacewalk. No pressure. That’s why we practice.
Flight team (including our AstroGator Rob) headed to Texas for Blue Origin’s #NS26 flight later this week. Plant seeds are sown in Gainesville, packed in coolers for transport, and then fly right along with us.
#DidYouKnow that if you were to strap wings on your arms, you could fly on Saturn's moon, Titan? That's because of its low gravity and thick atmosphere. Titan may seem like it's all fun and games, but we answered the question "Could we live on a moon like Titan?"

Watering plants is a little weird in space. In a microgravity environment, water’s fluid dynamics behaves in different ways than Earth. Learn more about how astrobotanists hydrate their plants in space at https://t.co/ddvp6wnSub! 🌱💦

Happy May the 4th with Darth Barkerus and Jedi Knight Simonus!!!! Astrobotany plays a huge role in the popular “Star Wars” franchise because there are many plants and it is a science fiction series set in space. Might the Fourth be With You! #starwar#astrobotany 🚀🌹
