Japan will be first among NASA’s international partners to have an astronaut on the lunar surface, but it remains to be seen whether this person will be the first non-American to walk on the Moon. arstechnica.com/space/2024/04/…

At WH press conf right now, Prez Biden announces that 2 Japanese astronauts will join future American missions to the Moon and one will become the first non-American to land on the Moon.

NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy in her Senate re-confirmation today said the board is considering issuing a 'safety culture survey' to every Boeing employee, a step the NTSB took with Norfolk Southern's 20,000 person workforce after the 2023 Ohio derailment. 'We could do that here.'

.@ESA chief Josef Aschbacher, at #SpaceSymposium today, said history shows heavy-lift rockets have 47% chance of major anomaly on their inaugural flights. Something to think about as #Ariane6 moves to its 1st flight in June-July.

For my space friends who traveled to Dallas to view the solar eclipse, the good news is that conditions *may* be decent along and north of Interstate 20 this afternoon. The bad news is that after that there is an increasing likelihood of severe weather. Please be weather aware.

When facing the relentless hurdles of startup life, I find solace in Eric Berger's 'Liftoff' book, detailing SpaceX's explosive beginnings — literally. There's a certain comfort in knowing that even rockets have their 'down to earth' moments.

Super cool to catch up with an old friend on the The Julie Mason Show this afternoon!
