Ron Garan, who launched on April 4, 2011 and returned home on September 16, 2011, completed nearly 3,000 orbits around Earth, discovering humanity has been'living a lie.' Garan said that while looking out the window of the International Space Station (ISS), he was struck by how differently the world appears from orbit. From space, the planet's fragile life-support systems, its atmosphere, oceans and ecosystems are clearly visible, yet human society treats them as if they exist only to serve the global economy.

The astronaut training tourists to fly in the world's first commercial space station

MIT Technology Review

The astronaut training tourists to fly in the world's first commercial space station Former NASA astronaut Drew Feustel now leads the astronaut training program for the private space company Vast, which aims to put its Haven-1 station into orbit in May. For decades, space stations have been largely staffed by professional astronauts and operated by a handful of nations. But that's about to change in the coming years, as companies including Axiom Space and Sierra Space launch commercial space stations that will host tourists and provide research facilities for nations and other firms. The first of those stations could be Haven-1, which the California-based company Vast aims to launch in May 2026. If all goes to plan, its earliest paying visitors will arrive about a month later. Drew Feustel, a former NASA astronaut, will help train them and get them up to speed ahead of their historic trip.


Astronaut snaps spectacular photo of lightning above Italy

NASA astronaut Nichole Ayers spotted the summer storm while aboard the International Space Station. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Lightning is one of Earth's most impressive phenomena. The sudden discharges of superheated plasma occur even in seemingly sunny conditions, rip apart air molecules, and can easily span hundreds of miles . But while there is still a lot to learn about lightning from our perspective here on Earth, there's also much to glean by observing it from high above.

The new video highlights the (cramped) life aboard the ISS. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. There is nearly 16,700 cubic feet of habitable area aboard the International Space Station (ISS). That makes it larger than a six-bedroom, two-bathroom house,but still small enough for a grand tour that takes less than 15 minutes. Earlier this month, NASA released a high-definition video showcase of the ISS, its facilities, and its crew recorded during the Crew-4 and Crew-5 missions in October 2022.

Crews living 250 miles above the Earth still keep the holiday spirit alive. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. For the past 25 years, an intrepid group of astronauts have spent the holidays 250 miles above the Earth. The crew living and working aboard the International Space Station (ISS) get to eat their turkey (but can't drink seltzer or use salt) and open presents while traveling 17,500 miles per hour and circling their home planet every 90 minutes. Despite that unique vantage, the celebrations often look quite similar to how they would here on Earth.

Kim officially became an astronaut in 2017.


Boeing's Next Starliner Flight Will Only Be Allowed to Carry Cargo

WIRED

Boeing's Next Starliner Flight Will Only Be Allowed to Carry Cargo After a high-profile malfunction left two astronauts stranded on the International Space Station, NASA is requiring rigorous testing before humans get back on board. The US space agency ended months of speculation about the next flight of Boeing's Starliner spacecraft, confirming that the vehicle will carry only cargo to the International Space Station. NASA and Boeing are now targeting no earlier than April 2026 to fly the uncrewed Starliner-1 mission, the space agency said. Launching by next April will require completion of rigorous test, certification, and mission readiness activities, NASA added in a statement . "NASA and Boeing are continuing to rigorously test the Starliner propulsion system in preparation for two potential flights next year," said Steve Stich, manager of NASA's Commercial Crew Program, in a statement.
