  1. 🚀🌕 Oh, look! Another *revolutionary* article about the #Moon, because surely no one has ever thought to look up before! 🙄 Apparently, dragging around a 3D model is the new cutting-edge way to feel like an #astronaut, minus the cool space suit and zero-gravity hair. 🛰️✨

  2. SPCX Holds Steady at the Zero Line: Consolidation Mode Activated

    SPCX Aug 21 ‘26

    Space Exploration Technologies Corp (SPCX) closed at 136.97 on Aug 21 ’26, up 2.22%, after a choppy stretch that saw it bounce off the 106.71 support and repeatedly test the 147.81 resistance. The latest candlestick sits right on the N-dicator: 0 marker—signaling classic consolidation sentiment—as price digests the mid-August volume spike and digests the prior pullback. Bulls and bears are currently in a temporary stalemate; the next decisive break will likely set the tone for September.

  3. 💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 👨‍🚀🤰 A #space gynecologist examines why human #pregnancy in space remains largely theoretical.

    High #radiation and #microgravity pose serious risks to both parent and fetus, while female #biology is historically underrepresented in space #research. With more #Artemis missions approaching, scientists urgently need more #data before #births beyond #Earth can be considered safe.

  5. 💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🚽🌱 #NASA is testing a mobile #wastewater system at the University of #NorthDakota that turns #astronaut #poop into water for #plants and drinking.

    Three #bioreactors process different waste types and feed the treated #water into a vertical #garden – growing #lunar salad from human waste. Engineers are stress-testing the setup in a simulated moon habitat to support a planned lunar base by 2029.

  8. 'Mittelalterlich' #FotoVorschlag

    An der Kathedrale in Salamanca (Spanien, erbaut im 12.-14. Jahrhundert) prangt ein Stein-Astronaut an der einen Pforte. Keine mittelalterliche Figur, sondern ein Witz der Steinmetze, die bei einer Restaurierung 1992 in Erinnerung an Juri Gagarin, diese Figur erschaffen und eingesetzt haben.

    Passt vielleicht auch zur momentan laufenden Weltraummission.

  11. Growing Salty

    Ngangla Ringco sits atop the Tibetan Plateau, breaking up the barren landscape with eye-catching teal and blue. This saline lake sits at an altitude of 4,700 meters, fed by rainfall, Himalayan runoff, and melting glaciers and permafrost. The lake, like many inland bodies of salt water, has no outflow. Instead, water evaporates from the lake, leaving behind any salts that were dissolved in it. Over time, those left-behind salts build up and make the lake ever saltier.

  12. TURNING IT UP UNDER THE BRIDGE WITH JESS NUNES

    The most recent Under the Bridge (UtB) event took place on Aug. 5, from 6 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. The community-driven event series is free, with suggested donations of $10 per person, and is open to attendees of all ages. Local DJ’s play energetic sets in a variety of genres, from house to trance to afrobeats.  

    UtB is organised by Jess Nunes, a DJ and musician. Nunes began putting on the events in May 2023, inviting her Instagram followers to the free event.   

    “There were only nine attendees that showed up,” Nunes said. “And then it just grew and grew. Even the following dance, we had twenty or so.”   

    By August of that year, they had almost two hundred attendees.  

    Nunes is an avid cyclist, first discovering the bridge while cycling a popular trail. The natural beauty of the surroundings—and a striking piece of graffiti, reading “Live Unlike Another”, inspired Nunes.  

    “I just sort of felt that, you know, we are living unlike another. We’re going to do something outside of the mould of this Southern Ontario grind that we all feel stuck in,” she said.  

    Nunes credits the space with giving UtB its unique energy and spirit.   

    “If it’s raining, we’re still protected by the bridge. The bridge itself is symbolic, it’s protection of the community,” she said.  

    The renegade, inclusive component of putting on donation-based dance events under a public bridge undoubtedly informs UtB’s communal atmosphere.   

    Nunes draws comparison with the original notion of raves in the 80s and 90s, grassroots events held in abandoned factories and open fields that encouraged free expression. This exciting, alternative use of public space has been central for UtB’s appeal.  

    Initially Nunes did not apply for a permit for UtB, believing that Kitchener council would not allow the events to go forward.   

    “They don’t want us to express ourselves in these ways. This is me sticking it to the man and saying: look what I can do,” she said.  

    Nunes has a deep appreciation of the transformative effect of music—she originally moved to Kitchener in 2014 to study Music Therapy at Wilfrid Laurier University. Coming from Thunder Bay, Nunes was initially surprised by the cultural conformity of the music scene in KW.  

    Gradually however—especially since the pandemic—she has seen community-driven events, with alternative forms of music, become more active and popular.  

    Nunes has been overwhelmed by the impact of the UtB and believes the positive energy the event series has brought to the community has been brought back.  

    “I just want to inspire people, even though you feel down and out—our culture here is just so fast paced, and we’re not really taking time to break out of moods, think for ourselves. I use Under the Bridge as propulsion towards this, getting through the adversity—we’re reaching for the stars,” Nunes said.  

    “Some amazing things have happened since I created Under the Bridge…I found my father after 35 years of not knowing who he was…He came to his first Under the Bridge last August,” she continued.   

    The Aug. 5 event landed on Nune’s son birthday—attendees are invited to dress up in animal costumes for the event.   

    “It’s just an opportunity to get silly,” Nunes said. “I usually like circus acts and stuff like that for the kids. And like, I would like to celebrate my son’s birthday, and he likes to be an astronaut every year…I love to see people get dressed up.”  

    Beginning with a Magic Show, the DJ lineup includes Nunes, Jonny Rocha, Robin Green, Jacobilly, Uncle Doobie and Arsh. A sound installation from local artist Important Hair, titled Used Classical Records, will be played in full, while vendors showcase and sell their artwork.

  13. Deutschland hat seit gestern einen #Koalitionsvertrag. Mein Lieblingssatz des 144 Seiten starken Dokuments steht auf Seite acht:

    Wir streben an, dass eine deutsche #Astronautin oder ein deutscher #Astronaut im Rahmen einer internationalen Mission zum #Mond fliegt.
    Ob sich #CSU-Chef und Raumfahrtfan Markus Söder wohl selbst in der Astronautenrolle sieht?

  14. Doug Liman and Tom Cruise are working on a new movie called "Deeper"
    According to Liman its a “scary” movie. “I have never done one,” said Liman, “and neither has Tom Cruise."
    Deeper” is being described by Liman as a “supernatural thriller”....
