Browsing through old photos I came across this candid view of ESA astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti and yours truly.

Simon Bierwald took the photo on September 18, 2011 at an event in Cologne, Germany. ESA invited dozens of space enthusiasts like Simon and I to cover the event on socials and other online venues. At a break Samantha came to say hi and we started chatting. At some point we looked around and were surprised to notice we were encircled by people taking photos of us, including Simon.

Damn paparazzi.

Senator #MarkKelly, a former #astronaut & #USNavy #testpilot, is not impressed by #Trump ordering the #Navy to install old-fashioned steam-powered catapults on carriers.

“I’ve launched off the front of #aircraftcarriers hundreds of times, have a Master’s degree in aeronautical engineering, & am a test pilot & even I wouldn’t suggest to the Navy how to engineer specific systems on its ships. Donald Trump should stick to what he knows best - ballrooms, bankruptcy, & bullshit.” #USPol #auspol

My first high school football game as chaperone, over a decade ago, an #astronaut was one of the other band parents working that night; nice to see him in one of the photos in this Guardian article. https://www.theguardian.com/science/2026/jul/27/nasa-astronauts-for-america-voting-campaign?utm_source=firefox-newtab-en-us

Very sad to learn we lost the remarkable Wally Funk, a pioneering aviatrix & member of the Mercury 13, who could have been early astronauts, if not for the sexism of the 1960s (the women often out performed the male astronaut candidates).

An amazing life.

Julie Payette: Astronaut and Governor General 🌟

Julie Payette, Canada's second woman in space, flew two Space Shuttle missions: STS-96 in 1999 and STS-127 in 2009. An engineer, she operated the Canadarm robotic arm on both flights. Payette served as Chief Astronaut for the Canadian Space Agency and later as Canada's 29th Governor General from 2017 to 2021. #Canada #JuliePayette #Astronaut #Science 🇨🇦

Astronaut Don Pettit described the light flashes crossing his eyes on the International Space Station as ‘luminous dancing fairies’ — the same cosmic rays Apollo crews reported, still arriving decades later above your head tonight

Chris Hadfield: Space Commander and Educator 🚀🌎

Chris Hadfield was the first Canadian to command the International Space Station in 2013. A skilled pilot, engineer, & musician, he captivated millions with his cover of 'Space Oddity' from orbit. With over 166 days in space, he inspired Canadians to dream bigger, blending science, creativity, & Canadian pride. 🇨🇦 #Canada #Space #Astronaut #ChrisHadfield

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🌊🚀 Before #Apollo, #aquanauts lived in seafloor labs as #underwater hotels and transit seemed imminent.

Edwin Link, Jacques Cousteau, and the U.S. #Navy proved the #ocean could be inhabited through projects like #Sealab and #Conshelf. But #NASA funding ultimately swallowed the dream, and the seabed remains sparsely explored today.

You, your children, nor your grandchildren, will ever get to space, unless they learn to think in 3 dimensions.

You've only been told that's hard, by scientists who struggle to think in 4.

🤔

Anyway. Space travel requires actually doing it, not complaining how hard it is.
