Ahead of the Artemis II launch we're thinking back to Uplink episode 26 with Apollo 13 legend Fred Haise. We asked him why he thinks the moon still occupies our imaginations. It was an incredibly interesting and timely conversation. Full episode here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=57fC...

It’s been 18 years since this Beatles classic was beamed across space as an Interstellar Radio Message towards the star Polaris. John Lennon’s lyrics summarised our feelings for space and music perfectly: “limitless undying love which shines around me like a million suns.” #spacerocks #thebeatles

Music and sound didn’t just play an integral role in the making of our new film. Spend any time reading the lyrics to Navigate the Seas of the Sun by Bruce Dickinson and you’ll see why we thought it was a perfect choice. #ESACluster #SeasoftheSun #europeanspaceagency #spaceplasma #brucedickinson

Sound and music played a huge role in the making of Seas Of The Sun, with Karlotta Skagfield's beautiful original score at its heart, accompanied by a wonderful contribution from cello supremo Jo Quail. Watch (and hear) it now: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Go_r... #seasofthesun #ESACluster #spacerocks

Taking a moment to remember a very special Earthling -- Laika, the first creature to orbit the Earth, on the 68th anniversary of her voyage aboard Sputnik 2. By all accounts, she was a very good girl.
