finally a trailer for my film essay "Extra-Terrestrial Ecologies" about space, ecology, Biosphere 2, and some more hauntological Space Un·Settlements https://t.co/l0Pc5snZzA
It's here📢
It's been a long time since I was that excited... about a *book*!
But this one is huuuge - literally (540 pages) and metaphorically. Lots of food for thought for all interested in humans and space 🚀
So glad to be part of it with my 📖about @SpaceX and Boca Chica🤗
So Earth's polar ice caps are melting, and there are proposals to mine the ice lakes on the lunar south pole by melting them and collecting the vapour. I leave this thought here for contemplation.
If you are in Vienna, pls join us tonight at @SecessionWien for "Un·Earthing a Space Miner’s Dream and the Ruins of Xenoarchaeology". @drspacejunk, [M] Dudeck and me will present lecture performances, a poem, and a short film by Joseph Popper. I'm excited! https://t.co/DHWSu9XHAc

@MikeMongo@drspacejunk The knitted pattern is based on the first color photo from the Martian surface. By chance our test was exactly 46 years after that photo was taken by the Viking lander in 1976.
@MikeMongo@drspacejunk Looks great! My approach was rather non-technical, reflecting on limits of speculation & the future as disrupted pattern, hiding in the past and present. Our kid agreed to test the Martian playsuit at the Mars analog site in the Negev desert last summer!
@Kiki1Bail Sind leider schon wieder zurück. Und ja, auf der Hochalpenstraße sind allerlei lustige Gefährte anzutreffen, z.B. die von @ralomayer als Erlkönig verkappte Rotationsfräse System Wallack, die auf den bürgerlichen Name Eisbändiger hört.
Artist here with some thoughts on the amazing JWST images. There’s a lot going on in these images that prompt us non-astronomers to be affected by them in ways that are both particular and powerful.
