Dang - somehow I've gotten a hundred followers on here! Thanks so much y'all! As means of a reintroduction - I'm Wasatch, just a spaceflight fan who likes writing and occasionally making art. I also have a small spaceflight discord server, Frontier: discord.gg/5sWR9Tsm7j
I'm really impressed that Jared finally pulled it off and is back in the running as NASA admin. There are reasonable questions about how he'd be as an admin, but I think we can all agree, it's better than folding NASA into the department of transportation. 🙃

In a stunning comeback, Jared Isaacman is renominated to lead NASA
“I will do everything I can to live up to those expectations.”…

The fact that all I see scrolling the space feeds on bluesky is stuff like an ad referring to the Orion spacecraft as a "satellite" and depicting it with laser solar panels should tell you all you need to know about the space "community" on this website.
Satellites orbit our planet carrying data worth billions yet many still transmit it unencrypted. 🛰️
From defense networks to research feeds, one weak link in space can compromise everything.

Satellites are leaking your data worse than coffee shop WiFi: Researchers
A study has found that many geosynchronous satellites transmit unencrypted data, including SMS and military information, which is visible to anyone with $600 worth of equipment.

Question for any space folks who have an idea - I'm working on a little project, and I'm trying to figure out what the actual exterior of Haven 1 will look like. Some renders depict it as a matte white, others as just steel. Any ideas?

Just finished reading Andy Weir's Artemis, crossing off another notable space book I hadn't read. I enjoyed it, was a nice fun thriller with some interesting fleshing out of the setting.
I was a bit disappointed to find that the reception of the story was mixed, or worse. Oh well, I liked it.
