    Grabbing a drink at a bar. Guy next to me starts talking to the bartender about Ukraine. I’m bored, so I listen. He pauses, turns, smiles at me and says, “You’re so pretty, you probably have no idea what I’m talking about, do you?” It did not end well for him.

    My first day at NASA I was told there is a particularly nasty office politics squabble everyone has to navigate: Star Wars or Star Trek. So I don’t say this lightly: May the 4th be with you.

    Ladies, pro-tip: If you’re going to a conference and you’re a bit nervous, wear a LOUD suit. Every other woman there will gas you up like no other and you’ll get the confidence you need to power you through.

    I know he’s definitely an outlier but the fact that they do exist in the year of our Lord 2022 is wild.

    My fiancé wrote this. It’s a little strange translated from Russian but I thought the message was worth sharing, and showing that some Russians vehemently condemn what’s happening.

    Did you hear about the time NASA charged a fine to a billionaire who brought his pet cat up to the ISS and it made a mess? It was a cat-astro-fee.

    I wonder why so many people don’t know we are going to the Moon again. My own parents didn’t know. Any thoughts?

    Not to be dramatic but I AM IN A GIANT HOLE CREATED BY A MASSIVE SPACE ROCK SLAMMING INTO THE EARTH WITH A FORCE 150X GREATER THAN AN ATOMIC BOMB. ☄️ @MeteorCraterAZ
