Some late commentary on the claim that we (the U.S.) need to send a nuclear reactor to “claim” a spot on the Moon before China does: NASA needs a better argument to convince me it’s worth it. And I would have thought I’d be easy to convince! open.substack.com/pub/makingne...

I was interviewed some time ago for a documentary exploring how humans will raise children in space. It was a great experience and a fascinating topic. But I cannot in good conscience recommend the final film. open.substack.com/pub/makingne...

My book, Off-Earth: Ethical Questions and Quandaries for Living in Outer Space, is now available as an audiobook! Narrated by April Doty, Off-Earth is available everywhere audiobooks are sold.

My latest newsletter post digs into the recent Reuters piece on workplace injuries at SpaceX to ask: What extra risks do space industry workers face due to the pervasive belief that companies pursuing space colonization are "saving humanity"? makingnewworlds.substack.com/p/worker-saf...

Hi new followers! I have a newsletter where I write about building a better future in space and on Earth. Today, the success of the Chandrayaan-3 mission inspired me to explore exciting upcoming missions from non-NASA space agencies around the world: makingnewworlds.substack.com/p/space-agen...

Finally made a Bluesky account last night, and an hour later, lightning struck the building I was in and the ceiling exploded. Not sure exactly how to interpret that…

A photo of one wall of a living room. Trees and a wood porch are visible through the windows. A large chunk of the drywall in the ceiling is missing in a jagged patch, the insulation torn out. The wood floor and hastily moved table and bookshelf are covered in drywall dust.

A different angle of the previous photo, showing the wall of the living room and the scattered furniture. Besides the hole in the ceiling, a large section of the drywall on one wall has been torn out and the insulation removed. A pile of pink insulation is visible through the windows, sitting outside on the porch.
