NASA’s stuck astronauts welcome their newly arrived replacements to the space station.
@AssociatedPress reports: "The four newcomers — representing the U.S., Japan and Russia — will spend some time learning the station’s ins and outs from Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams," who are scheduled to finally return home later this week.
Gestrandete Astronauten: SpaceX-Kapsel für Rückhol-Mission an ISS angedockt
Die Kapsel "Crew Dragon" ist an der ISS angekommen. Die Rückkehr der NASA-Astronauten, die statt einer Woche seit fast zehn Monaten auf der Raumstation verweilen, rückt damit näher.
For the international community who may not know, #senatorkelly he is a military #veteran and #astronaut whose wife was a politician. A #RadicalRight assailant attempted to assassinate her and he has stepped up in her place. He is one of the BEST that this country has to offer. He and his family have paid the price, repeatedly, for freedom.
Please show him the respect due to someone who has sacrificed much and who stands up against #Trump, #Musk and other assorted vermin.
Habe jetzt "Der #Astronaut" von #Andy #Weir durch und bin immer noch ganz begeistert. Hat mir echt gut gefallen - auch, dass die Physik da korrekt war. Hab sogar zwischendrin mal den Taschenrechner gezückt und was nachgerechnet (jaja, ich Nerd

SpaceX verschiebt Raketenstart - ISS-Astronauten müssen warten
Seit fast neun Monaten befinden sich die Astronauten Wilmore und Williams auf der Internationalen Raumstation. Geplant waren acht Tage. Nun wurde der Start einer SpaceX-Rakete, die ihre Ablösung befördert, verschoben.

Spacecraft may need to be dirtier to keep astronauts healthy.
New Scientist reports: "There may be logic in keeping spacecraft as sterile as possible, but this could inadvertently be affecting astronauts' health."
Spent the morning at the #NationalSpaceCenter (UK) with my daughter, had a great time, she tells me she now wants to be an #astronomer rather than an #astronaut particularly after the We Are Astronomers planetarium show - exactly why places like NSC are vital for kids.
Also they have the EV suit from #TheMartian which is awesome

@ZhiZhu@newsie.socialElon Musk Loses It After Astronaut Dares Calls Out His Lie
#ElonMusk called a famous astronaut a slur simply because he countered one of his newest talking points.

“What a lie,” Danish #astronaut Andreas Mogensen wrote... in reply to #Musk parroting the talking point yet again on #FoxNews. “And from someone who complains about lack of honesty from the mainstream #media"
Musk exploded."
Ps.: The International Space Station is already expected to be destroyed in the next few years

Frühere Rückreise für auf der ISS festsitzende Astronauten in Sicht
Eigentlich sollten die US-Astronauten Wilmore und Williams nur wenige Tage im All bleiben, daraus wurden wegen technischer Probleme mehrere Monate. Doch nun gibt es einen neuen Plan für ihre Rückkehr.
