🚀🌕 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. 🛰️✨

SPCX Holds Steady at the Zero Line: Consolidation Mode Activated

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.

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.

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.
