We have a mission!

Both HydroGNSS satellites have sent their first signals 📡

HydroGNSS is a Scout mission under FutureEO: compact in size, but built to deliver big science insights into Earth’s water cycle💧

I am stoked that Denis Villeneuve is making Rendezvous With Rama after he’s done with Dune. I remember sitting in a cabin on a family trip by a window reading it as a wee lad, just going oooo and ahhhh. lol. #BookSky #SciFi #FilmSky

Cover for Arthur C. Clarke’s Rendezvous with Rama. The spaceship Endeavor approaches a giant space cylinder.

Fun fact: For the movie Alien, they actually used a man in a practical suit because the studio was unable to afford a real Xenomorph.

Voyager was launched in 1977

over 15 billion miles from Earth, it's controlled using 50-year-old blueprints and takes 22 hours to receive a single command

It keeps going and going and going 🚀😁

More on the idiocy at Russia's only human rated spaceport, (In Kazakhstan).

How bad was the damage?

Before a Soyuz launch Thursday someone forget to secure a 20-ton service platform

In 1993, Nintendo Power Magazine held a contest to win a 7” foot alien replica and a screen-used cryotube: “The one Ripley used to travel through time and space in Alien 3”

Other prizes included an Alien 3 game pak, an Alien 3 videotape, and a Nintendo Power T-shirt.

Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home was released on this day (Nov 28) in 1986. The film had originally been planned for release in mid-December. The studio believed this would allow it to maximize earnings because the film would be in theaters during the Christmas holiday.
