The topic of Starliner is back in our newsletter today. Are the astronauts stranded? Probably not. Can NASA just say if Starliner can come home right now? Also probably not bloomberg.com/news/newslette…

Boeing, NASA Don’t Want You to Think Its Astronauts Are Stranded

Howdy space cadets, it’s Loren Grush in Austin. Have you caught all the headlines about Boeing’s Starliner capsule being stuck in space, leaving its crew stranded? NASA and Boeing aren’t too happy...

I had some complicated feelings during the Hubble reboost mission debate that a 10 year old paper on space religion helped me sort through. jakerobins.com/blog/the-crus…

In honor of Juneteenth, I wrote my first-ever op-ed, which SpaceNews published today. I encourage you to read it and check out the fantastic work the @PGSFellowship is doing to improve diversity in the space sector.

The Oilers cap we bought in Edmonton when we lived there for the 2006 cup run. It’s made its way down the priority cap list to work hat and it’s on its last legs, but 18 years later it’s back to get this team through the finals. #GoOilers

When I moved to Yucatán, I also standardized on one type of footwear - none. I never lose socks, I never have to match, and it's free! Checkmate.

I wrote up some lessons on Web Accessibility that I learned while building a cool SVG Map component where users could select states/provinces visually. jakerobins.com/blog/accessib…

Written almost 10 years ago, "Just" remains one of the most impactful posts I've written: bradfrost.com/blog/post/just… “Just” is a dangerous word.

Nighttime photo of Iberia from @Space_Station, including all of Spain, Portugal, Gibraltar, North Africa, and some of France, showing a rich history of human development. At night it becomes obvious where civilization is by the way we sprinkle our light bulbs across Earth, and differences can be seen between multiple cultures and technologies. Historical European vs American grid city patterns. Newer LED vs older incandescent lighting. Cities at night make great #astrophotography, with this being one of my favorite shots. Captured in 2012 with Nikon D3s, 24mm lens, .3 sec, f1.4, ISO 3200.
