OK; you all asked if this was possible…..

[Andreas Mogensen @Astro_Andreas]

Elon, I have long admired you and what you have accomplished, especially at SpaceX and Tesla.

You know as well as I do, that Butch and Suni are returning with Crew-9, as has been the plan since last September. Even now, you are not sending up a rescue ship to bring them home. They are returning on the Dragon capsule that has been on ISS since last September.

@Caiwu_Liang Congrats Caiwu, inspirational 😎

[Sid Halder @sidhalder900]

Presented my first poster at the @CPE_Imperial annual symposium - super interesting symposium with many different insights and perspectives, can’t wait to learn more as the PhD progresses :)

[Sid Halder @sidhalder900]

Awesome week of science in London thanks to @pintofscience, enjoyed hearing about human-machine interfaces (from Imperial researchers!) as well as Dr Michael Foale’s exciting astronaut career 😎

@IRENA Interesting data! This figure needs to be better - for starters Cu is copper not cobalt 😅

Ending a week of intense science at @DiamondLightSou! Super team effort by @Caiwu_Liang, @Benjamin_S_Moss, @yemin_tao, @Yifeng_Wang2000, @sidhalder900 - a joy to work with these amazingly talented people to study (very complex!) solid-liquid interfaces😍

So amazing to listen to @astro_timpeake @katehumble talk all about space tonight at Southwark Cathedral! Can’t wait to read Tim’s new book!! 🪐😁

Electrochemical technologies will play a big role in reaching full in-situ resource utilisation (ISRU), very exciting times ahead!

[UK Space Agency @spacegovuk]

📢 Exciting announcement!

UK astronauts are gearing up for space! 🚀🇬🇧 👩‍🚀👩‍🚀👨‍🚀👨‍🚀

We have signed a new agreement with @Axiom_Space that could see UK astronauts in orbit:

🔬 conducting scientific research
🔋 demonstrating new technology
👧🏾🧒🏼 engaging in outreach activities

[Sid Halder @sidhalder900]

Undergrad ✅ Onto the PhD now - huge thanks to everyone who has been a part of my journey so far, absolutely no way I could have reached this stage without the support ❤️

With the success of the Chandrayaan-3 mission, ISRO and JAXA will work together to launch LUPEX (Chandrayaan-4) in 2026.

LUPEX will land at the Moon’s South Pole with the primary goals to look for the presence of water on the Moon and its usability for future astronauts.

The data gathered from this mission will allow engineers to know how much water will be needed to be brought from Earth for future crewed missions to the Moon.

Water will be the most valuable resource for crewed missions to space as it can be converted to oxygen for breathing, hydrogen for rocket fuel, act as radiation shielding, and of course, for drinking.
