Good morning! How are you feeling? Early start today to start teaching our first SpaceWise Academy in Dubai. Thought that I’d leave my curtains open so the sun would help wake me, then realised that alarm was set an hour before sunrise. Yikes! #StayBright

Given how little time I have to check the news this week, or even connect online or listen to the radio, there is a lot of news newsing! Not helping me sleep at a sensible time… alarm in six hours and so tempted to follow breaking news in France…

Good morning! Okay, it’s lunchtime here. Another busy day teaching students about space. Did not sleep enough, but the chatter and excitement as the students work out what they need to build a space capsule for their ‘eggstronauts’. #StayBright

Good morning! How are you feeling? I am utterly exhausted, but our first SpaceWise Academy is complete and the students all seemed to enjoy it a lot. Phew! Next up is lunch and a trip to museum of the future! #StayBright

Good morning! How are you feeling? If you’re in the UK I hope you’ve not been blown away. Enjoying a ridiculously fancy brunch and some sunshine in Dubai. Museum of the Future yesterday was very impressive. Here’s a pic from when I was queueing… #StayBright

Good morning! How are you feeling? I’m chasing my tail a little catching up with a bunch of stuff and getting ready for our next SpaceWise Academy which starts tomorrow. So cool seeing how much the students enjoyed it last week and how proud their parents were. #StayBright

Good morning! How are you feeling? SpaceWise Academy number two has launched. Very bright kids so I reckon it will be a good few days. Excited to see what they do for their mission patches! #StayBright

Good morning (UK time at least!) How are you feeling? Day two is going well with kids super engaged and excited about building their rockets and planning their space capsules. I am sleepy, but something caffeinated or sugary will power me through! #StayBright

Good (just missed it in UK) morning! How are you feeling? Second set of Space Academy students graduated. Finding food and prepping for our final course that starts tomorrow for some older kids. Now time for lunch! Yay! Zaatar for the win! #StayBright

Good morning! How are you feeling? I’m queueing to check into flight 1 of 2 today. Came straight from the school where we were doing our final SpaceWise Academy of the trip. Sad I had to dash before they had their little graduation ceremony, but hope I inspired them. #StayBright

Good morn-afternoon! How are you feeling? Late with my message as I had to head to the emergency dentist. Hoping antibiotics are going to sort me out quick, because the pain is all-encompassing. 😢 Hoping I can be bright enough for dancing later… #StayBright

If you’re wondering where my message of the day has gone, it does continue, but on BlueSky…

It has been a very long time since I have thought about Bodger and Badger, but Mark Watson, still here but very much also Bluesky entertained me so much with the memory tonight that I’ve returned to Twitter to say I’m attempting to explain it to my US friend… 😂

New Glenn’s inaugural mission is targeting January 13. Our three-hour launch window opens Monday at 1 a.m. EST (0600 UTC). Join us here for the webcast hosted by Ariane Cornell and Denisse Aranda beginning an hour before launch!

I can see the sonic booms

Some Republicans are finally pushing back on the NASA science budget cuts. arstechnica.com/science/2025/0…

A likely disaster for NASA. There were two final choices for admin six months ago. One was a budget cutter. The other was Jared.
