Doorbell rings. answers. Calls to me in other room, “Do we want a benediction?” (yes, door-to-door benedictions are a thing in Italy) Me: “No, I think I’m ok for diction!” That may be true but I think my Aussie husband could use some *better diction*

Stay tuned for details as they’re ironed out but it looks like ’s astronaut reserve concept is already proving successful 🤞🚀🧑‍🚀

The ESA astronaut policy was developed for exactly these opportunities, flying on commercial flights in partnership as we transition Europe’s access to space and diversify the space market. #38Space #SpaceRevolution twitter.com/esaspaceflight…

Why does chatGPT make up fake academic papers? By now, we know that the chatbot notoriously invents fake academic references. E.g. its answer to the most cited economics paper is completely made-up (see image). But why? And how does it make them? A THREAD (1/n) 🧵

This is one of the most beautiful things that has happened since I’ve become a member of the astronaut reserve. I hope I can inspire many young girls like Ferne in the future! #SpaceBridge

Really interested to see what the UK Australia “space bridge” brings as it continues to grow!
Quote Tweet
This week, interns from @AirbusSpace paid us a visit to learn more about UK/Australia space collaboration. In 2021, the UK and Australia signed a 'space bridge' partnership. 🇬🇧🇦🇺🚀 The agreement means enhanced space ties and increased collaboration between space sectors. 🛰️ 👇
