#spacenerds — Public Fediverse posts

👨‍🚀🚀 Ah, another day, another #SpaceX #livestream to test if the 13th time really is the charm. Spoiler alert: it’s not—it’s just a glorified #fireworks #display for nerds who think watching metal tubes wobble in the sky is the pinnacle of entertainment. 🎆📉

NASASpaceflight and Eric Berger from @arstechnica needs to happen more often!

for any #SpaceNerds 👋 in #Aus who are looking for info about #ArtemisII mission timings, the ~6-minute #TLI burn is scheduled for 10:49 #AEDT today (2026-03-02 19:49 EDT)

all public mission timings that I’ve seen are only given in EDT, which is annoying af – I know that #NASA uses UTC as their canonical time standard for all mission timings but I guess they see themselves as mostly communicating publicly to a US audience so ¯_(ツ)_/¯ (yeah, yeah, their tax dollars, whatev)

anyways, my go-to site for TZ conversions is the Time and Date website so here’s the link for the planned TLI burn time -> https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html?iso=20260401T234900&p1=tz_et&p2=tz_aet

you can of course use the site to convert any other EDT datetimes to your local TZ 💁‍♀️

🌞📉 Behold the Sun Position Calculator—because apparently, tracking the sun's position now demands a NASA-level browser and a PhD in #JavaScript #debugging. 🌐💻 If you’re seeing this, your browser has time-traveled from the past to fail spectacularly in the present. 🤓🚀

We Installed a GIANT Space Dome on a Mountain!

We drove from Melbourne to Toowoomba… via Coonabarabran (because apparently we can’t help turning a dome install into a full-blown road trip).

Stopped in Coonabarabran for a site visit on a future project — then headed to Mt Kent Observatory to install a brand new 4m Scopedome.

There were telescopes, late nights, too many servo pies, and one absolutely massive dome. Just another casual week in astro-land. 🔭🛻🌌

It was great to be able to get to #KennedySpaceCenter for the #Artemis1 launch. It’s rare that I get to just hang out with a bunch of like minded #spacenerds and just geek out about this stuff.
