I don't know about breaking the Apollo 13 record, but having human eyes see the far side while their spaceboat cruises around the Moon and listening to them describe what they see to nerd scientists and the world in open communications is indeed a big thing.

Y'know, sometimes your friends just can't help boasting about having been part of Space Rocks 🗣️
And when they do it on national TV, putting us in the same sentence as both NASA and ESA, well ... ☺️🤪
Thank you to the mighty Jason Isaacs for this shout-out last week on "Would I Lie To You?" on BBC One in the UK – he's such a mensch & we love him to bits 🙇♂️

autorover can jump back into the sky again now, though it's probably best if i don't overuse this as it's not really meant to be distracting

I haven’t been keeping up – a very busy few days driving from DE to south NL, then to north NL for our son’s graduation, & back to south NL for the ESA ESTEC Open Day with #SpaceRocks yesterday.
Many pictures from that, but here’s a lovely one from the Lammermarkt underground car park in Leiden for now, representing some of the city’s key contributions to science, not least astronomy ✨

Just crossing the Mosel west of Koblenz, en-route to Noordwijk for this weekend’s ESA ESTEC Open Day with #SpaceRocks 🖖🙂🤘
Left it late leaving home, where it was sunny & warm, but this is much better driving weather, especially in my crappy little Citroën C1 without air conditioning 🥵✌️

here's one more for fans of "a lot going on" 🌌🪐🔭

In Stuttgart for another evening in the presence of Messrs Wilson, Blundell, Holzman, McStine, & Beggs, & “The Overview” 🖖🙂🤘
Are you listening, Mr @alexandermilas?

NASA's Perseverance rover spotted a curious rock on Mars, dubbed St. Paul's Bay. Made of tiny rounded stones, it was found in Jezero Crater while searching for ancient life. Scientists are puzzling over its origin. #Mars #Perseverance #SpaceRocks

Out this evening doing some stress testing of our #SpaceRocks cotton tote bag 🚀🎸
Six litre bottles of unpasteurised beer from the local abbey? 🧐
Passed with flying colours 🍻🖖🤘

Amazing 😳
It’s not every day that you get name checked on an album that’s number 1 in the UK midweek album charts🙀
Let alone it being a 42 minute, two track prog concept album about the cosmic perspective that considering the vastness of space brings to our ephemeral lives ✨
Kudos to Steven Wilson for the stunning music – it’s a privilege to be involved along with my good friend, @alexandermilas 🙇♂️

Coming at 1800CET/1700GMT today: conversation about Jeff Wayne’s “The War of the Worlds” as it goes out on tour & the possibility of life on Mars.
With Sara Russell of the Natural History Museum & me on the science, Dave Rowntree of Blur, Brian Cox, & my #SpaceRocks co-founder @alexandermilas talking with Jeff about his classic album, plus Rou Reynolds of Enter Shikari who’s in the new show.
Was a fun day in London with Alex et al who made the film 🖖🤘

I'm busy with a creative project of my own (more of which soon), but just a quick one to flag the release Steven Wilson's space-inspired album "The Overview" yesterday ✨
I've had it for a few weeks & it's brilliant – immersive epic prog with zero pandering to the nano-attention span, oh so knowing world of streamed sludge 🙇♂️
It was a privilege to be part of the album premiere event at the BFI IMAX in London & I'm proud of the #SpaceRocks connection – thanks, Steven 🖖🤘

In London this week for a few events & meetings, some of which I can't talk about yet (ooh, mystery! 🤪)
But this one's public – I'll be at the British Film Institute this evening for a premiere of Steven Wilson's new space-inspired album "The Overview", with visuals on the IMAX screen.
We'll have a panel discussion after with Steven, the film maker Miles, my ESA colleague Miho, & my #SpaceRocks compadre, Alex.
Tonight is sold out, but there are more dates in Europe before the album tour 🖖🤘

Even if last night’s New Year’s Eve show on BBC One was an “awkward & breathless mess”, you at least have to applaud the set decoration team for their impeccable taste 😘

Looking forward to “The Overview”, the new album from our friend Steven Wilson, prog musician & producer extraordinaire, & his 2025 tour 🎶
Inspired by the perspective gained by looking down at Earth from space or outward into the cosmos, & as you’ll see, a conversation that started with Space Rocks 🖖🙂🤘

It’s late on Friday night & in honour of Steven Strait / James Holden of #TheExpanse appearing at ESTEC’s Open Day with #SpaceRocks in Noordwijk this weekend, ESA have just announced the latest design of the EnVision mission to Venus 👍

Heads up (literally, if you’re in the South Pacific) 👀
At ~18:48UTC / 20:48CEST tomorrow, 8 Sep, the first of the four ESA Cluster II satellites, Salsa, will re-enter Earth’s atmosphere, bringing an effective end to the constellation’s 24-year mission to probe our magnetosphere & its interactions with the solar wind.
I’ll be back at ESOC in Darmstadt, helping film this sad but celebratory moment for a documentary coming soon from #SpaceRocks 🖖🤘

If you’re in the neighbourhood of the Randstad on Sunday 6 October, consider spending it with us at the annual ESA ESTEC Open Day 🚀🛰️🛸🔭🪐☄️✨👩🚀👨🚀
Lots to see & do linked to space science & technology, & many astronauts to meet, after the Association of Space Explorers get-together in Noordwijk that week.
I’ll be back there with #SpaceRocks & our friend Steven Strait aka James Holden of #TheExpanse will be too 🦠
Tickets are free, but limited 👇

Ha – that’s no asteroid 🤪
Rewatching S1 of #TheExpanse from 2016 & am further reminded how obviously influenced the production team was by Rosetta’s adventures at Comet 67P/C-G over the preceding two years 🙂👍
What goes around comes around though, as at #SpaceRocks, we’ve since worked with Dominique Tipper, Steven Strait, Shohreh Aghdashloo, & the writers, James SA Corey 🙂
Stay tuned for more science meets science fiction 🖖🤘

Thanks for that? #Sigh #Astrophotography Not #SpaceRocks
