Interviewer: Can you explain this gap in your resume? Space archaeologist: That evidence mostly burned up on atmospheric re-entry. The rest sank to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean.

Haven't read this yet, but it is true that while CA wine is absolutely world-class, it's also typically far overpriced, even in California. Spanish wine, for example, is way better value for money, in the US.

Oh, I am so sorry to hear this. We went to the Parque los Dominicos while we were there - I guess this was nearby. Hoping people are safe.

This person with a PhD from a good program and with a job at a much more prominent institution than my own couldn't spot that there were multiple authors in the references who were literally named "J. Doe." I don't know what you do with that, but I pointed it out and then found excuses not to collab

I met a junior scholar when I was giving a lecture at an R1 not long ago. Their area sounded interesting; when we had coffee they suggested that maybe we could collaborate. I asked them to send me something from their field so I could understand how we fit. They sent me an article that was pure slop

Honestly hard to see how a project led by the US and Russia, two countries currently involved in wars of choice, could have been a likely selection, even if the project is a remarkable and durable example of international cooperation.

Yes, SpaceX owns most of the world's satellites (hotdogguy.jpg), but seriously a big issue is Chinese operators do not share ephemeris data, do not provide notice of manuevers, don't answer the phone to discuss impending conjunctions, and they have 1,000 sats and growing fast

I am not the only person who noticed this. People were commenting directly on the videos, so I would guess that had more to do with it. In the past, NASA discouraged showing personal displays in public photos and videos, so there was already a policy in place.

This is the $64,000 question: what does it mean that one or more members of the US crew have chosen to prominently display photographs of Jared Isaacman, Elon Musk, and Wernher von Braun? I am not comfortable in stating a definitive answer, because we don't know who precisely is responsible.

I don't want to read too much into this, but the choice of this location and framing may be intended to show that the display no longer exists.

Update: the new US visual display is gone. In a video posted a few hours ago, Jessica Meir and Sophie Adenot are seen in front of the hatch and there are no images on it. www.instagram.com/reel/DeMDgPH...

You find my discussion unpleasant, or you find it wrong?

The crew might protest, "We didn't mean it like that!" But will anybody believe them?

170

There are other things to be said, but that's enough for now. It's clear from how people here on Earth (especially on a Bluesky) have reacted to the new display that these kinds of things lead to multiple interpretations.

130

But the Russian one's space heroes are exclusively associated with the past, while the new US one links the past to the present and future (one which looks bleak indeed for the Russian space program).

140

At the same time, the location of this display specifically orients it as a response to the original Russian one. Both are on the aft walls of their respective modules, over a portal and the table where the group eats and socializes.
