I feel like nobody on Tumblr knows that the international space station is being discontinued.

Did you know that? In less than a decade it will be gone

if I was one of those astronauts stuck in the space station I'd be vlogging the fuck out of it. they still have the internet connection up there right? I'd be the most annoying vlogger I could possibly be. ooooohhhh nooooo nasa doesn't want me to spill secrets? bitch how are they gonna stop me without coming and getting me!!! GRWM to go investigate the mysterious pinging sound in the decrepit ISS that I'm trapped in!!! I'm doing live streams with the aliens! I'm making an onlyfans that's just me cosplaying as Ripley from the alien movies! nasa for every day you don't come get me the panties will get tinier and tinier. there will be a different kind of black hole broadcast on your website soon!! I'm posting a vid of me messaging and flirting with all the wives of the employees who are taking too long to come and save me. I'm tagging the official doctor who and star trek accounts in every post. I'm doing tiktok dances while the other astronaut is visibly trapped in the airlock behind me. I'm offering to do brand deals with a different country's space program. I'm posting a compilation of me asking the other astronaut "what are we" at the most inappropriate times. I'm going out of my way to edit my videos of earth so it looks flat just because I'm BORED.

Fun fact, you can look at the earth live from the ISS.

If you see this blazed it's cuz I get a monthly blaze and I this is the post I wanna share. The link changes from time to time so you can either bookmark this post or subscribe to NASA. I'll try to keep this link up to date.

The ISS feed has three looks:

The "It's in Earth's Shadow" black screen

The "They're using the internet bandwidth for something else right now like FaceTime with their family members"

And the 👁️👄👁️

45 minutes in the sun, 45 minutes in Earth's Shadow, (90 minute orbit) so half the time there's nothing to show. Minus! the time that the video feed is shut off for bandwidth. So less then half the time it's awe inspiring but the times when it is: amazing.

I bought a 4 or 5 inch monitor for my desk that's just a browser window to this YouTube page.

Jumpscare warning, you can hear the astronauts talk to ground control. If you're not expecting it you'll just hear a voice. Sometimes its funny, like one time someone at Houston said something like "we can turn it on for you remotely from downstairs". Most of the time it's not clear what they're talking about, since its their work phone line, essentially. A lot of it is mundane stuff like "hey, these serial numbers don't match up, what do I do?" or "houston the barcode scanner isn't syncing with the ipad, I've tried rebooting both".

It’s Girl Scout Day! March 12, 2024, is the 112th birthday of Girl Scouts in the United States, and to celebrate, we’re sharing a lithograph of the Girl Scout alumnae who became NASA astronauts.

Girl Scouts learn to work together, build community, embrace adventurousness and curiosity, and develop leadership skills—all of which come in handy as an astronaut. For example, former Scouts Christina Koch and Jessica Meir worked together to make history on Oct. 18, 2019, when they performed the first all-woman spacewalk.

Pam Melroy is one of only two women to command a space shuttle and became NASA’s deputy administrator on June 21, 2021.

Nicole Mann was the first Indigenous woman from NASA to go to space when she launched to the International Space Station on Oct. 5, 2022. Currently, Loral O’Hara is aboard the space station, conducting science experiments and research.

Participating in thoughtful activities in leadership and STEM in Girl Scouts has empowered and inspired generations of girls to explore space, and we can’t wait to meet the future generations who will venture to the Moon and beyond.

Make sure to follow us on Tumblr for your regular dose of space!

Newer Discovery: The Lightning Bolt Nebula

In the immediate vicinity of the very bright star Alpha Centauri A or Rigel Kentaurus is a VERY large filamentary Oiii/Ha nebula. This is likely to be a very large supernova remnant, but in regards to whether or not it is a novel one is impossible to say. This area of the sky is a literal minefield of radio SNRs that have been known about for some time, so we cannot say which it belongs to for now.

At this point, might as well.

(in all seriousness, I wish Boeing would get their shit together.)
