Perhaps the title I'm most proud of this year: 'It's not rocket science, Australia needs a stronger space strategy'. Blog post out with Lowy.

@NesbittFoster Not sure of your point: I’m arguing that we forget our history and the wealth of experience we already have in doing this, as well as the challenges.

And members of the PIR were always treated as seperate from Army, even as the unit was an integral part of Aus defence.

[Tristan Moss @tristanemoss]

I cannot quite fathom how the suggestion to recruit from PNG is made periodically without any reference AT ALL to the fact that the Army and RAN recruited PNGeans for two decades. In 1973 1/12 members of the regular Army were from PNG. There were two whole battalions!

[ASPI @ASPI_org]

The ADF should recruit in PNG, and here’s how to do it | Ross Thompson | https://t.co/nPffa3RgFT

[Tristan Moss @tristanemoss]

@JonPiccini @cell_sodality Also “fought alongside” rather ignores the fact that many of the tens of thousands of labourers were forcibly conscripted early on.

The first-ever survey on Australian attitudes towards space is out. So, what do we think? https://t.co/hJ8PSCiFPP via @ConversationEDU

[Tristan Moss @tristanemoss]

Our new research on Australian attitudes towards space is out! Australian views are complex: interested, but not necessarily supportive of all national space activities. Also, The Dish is clearly Aus's favourite space 'event'.

The Australian #space enterprise is full of energetic, informed & inspirational people. A joy to facilitate my last #Futures workshop for @NSC_ANU Futures Hub, partnering @CassandraSteer & Australian Centre for Space Governance team at @ourANU | @tristanemoss @JoelLisk @mdezwart

[Rhys Crawley @RhysCrawley]

Do you love studying history? Are you interested in doing a PhD? The War Studies Research Group @UNSWCanberra invites applications from outstanding candidates to attend a 1-day workshop in Canberra on 17 Nov 2023. Applications for travel scholarships close 1 Nov; get in quick!

Its President is dismayed too. Next year will be 30 years since my first full-time lectureship in a university. I can't recall a more incompetent or brutal treatment of a group of close colleagues that this one by the Australian Catholic University.

This 👇 is my job. Melissa Bellanta’s. Noah Riseman’s Jon Piccini’s. Naomi Wolfe’s. And many more people who have faithfully taught through crap decision after crap decision until someone not making the decisions has to bear the cost.

[Peter Lee @pklee27]

We're delighted to publish this 🚀report by Dr Tristan Moss @UNSWCanberra on the Australia-US defence space relationship. As defence cooperation in space becomes a key priority for the alliance, this report will be a key reference for public awareness and debate.

[Tristan Moss @tristanemoss]

Also thanks to @rocketlab for allowing me to use their fantastic photo!

[Tristan Moss @tristanemoss]

Fantastic to see my report on the Australian -US defence space relationship out there with @USSC! Wherever we decide to go in space, on our own or with partners, the US relationship is a central part of the conversation.

[United States Studies Centre @USSC]

#NEWREPORT | Following the announcement of ‘Enhanced Space Cooperation’ as a new AU-US Force Posture Initiative at #AUSMIN2023, the latest @USSC report by @tristanemoss lays out the past, present & future of defence space engagement b/n AU & US.

Worth retweeting as the idea to recruit Pacific Islanders into the ADF gets floated again.

[Tristan Moss @tristanemoss]

How do you discuss a Pacific Islands Regiment for Australia without ever mentioning that an Australian PIR existed between 1940 and 1975, and a Royal PIR continues to exist in Papua New Guinea today?? (Also there are a whole host of issues with this proposal).

[Dr. Cassandra Steer @CassandraSteer]

@tristanemoss gathered Australia's space policy experts last year and this collection of short essays is the timely and important result. Proud to have contributed: my piece argues for a National Space Policy. Read them all for key insights on #space policy and governance

[Dr. Danielle Ireland-Piper @IrelandPiper]

Thanks to @tristanemoss for the opportunity to contribute to this publication, 'The Foundations of Australia's Space Policy'. I talk #space and the #indopacific region on pages 14-21. Entire publication available online here: https://t.co/lNFJi1jUry

[Tristan Moss @tristanemoss]

Out today: "The Foundations of Australia's Space Policy", which explores Australia's current space efforts and where it might go in the future from a range of perspectives, including history, law, industry, public opinion, security and science

[Griffith Asia Inst @GAIGriffith]

Check out our latest publication "The foundations of Australia's space policy", a collection of essays from experts in different areas of space policy, each of whom explore the challenges and opportunities in creating an Australian approach to space.

The more things change, the more they stay the same...

A few thoughts from me on the defence review inspired by reading a previous one

https://t.co/cxc6AMHgrm

[Tristan Moss @tristanemoss]

@redunley Entirely agree. And this goes doubly so for 'new' kit.

[Tristan Moss @tristanemoss]

@AnnieHandmer If you haven't listened already, @SpaceAboveUs is a fantastic history of US crewed missions, from Mercury to now, with each episode doing a separate mission. Well-presented and interesting.
