Remarkable scenes at the IAC 2025 press conference with 10 astronauts from around the world. The room was overwhelmed by a diverse sea of young faces who hung on almost every word. It’s the generation that will live and work in space, and they can’t wait.

Delightful to catch up with Sophia Casanova, whom I profiled in a feature for Australian Geographic in 2020. She was then a UNSW PhD student on space mining. Now, she's designing missions to prospect for, and mine, water ice on the Moon at ispace Europe! Go Sophia!

Having a blast at my first International Astronautical Congress. Plenty of opportunity for maximum space geek out. Per passionem ad astra.

On this day 39 years ago, I began my career as a journalist on The Sydney Morning Herald. It gave me a taste for big-city newspaper journalism, its proud traditions and odd quirks. I met outstanding colleagues and had some fabulous experiences. Thank you, @sydmorningherald.bsky.social

Election day in Australia: hot dogs, pastry stands and local craft stalls. My ballot includes one Anthony Albanese, Prime Minister. Voting is mandatory, and ranked choice. Nice to live in a proper democracy. 🙂🗳️
