Some moments are worth floating back to. ✨
When @NASA’s @SpaceX Crew-13 launched on Oct. 1, they brought along a little extra company! 🚀 Meet Lucky, a hand-crocheted golden dragon and the crew’s zero-gravity indicator! These small companions float freely once a spacecraft reaches microgravity, giving astronauts a visual sign that they’re officially weightless.

Congrats to @JAXA_En on MMX! By returning samples from Phobos, Mars’ larger moon, the mission will add to decades of Mars exploration and help shape future discoveries and potential crewed missions to the Red Planet.

When our @NASAArtemis missions land on the Moon, we need to be ready to take manual control for a successful landing. For the Manual Piloting study, I flew this landing simulator before and immediately after spaceflight to assess if any changes associated with cognitive function or gravity affected my performance. Thankfully, I was able to land successfully even just two hours after we splashed down!

Dámy a pánové, je to tu! K Marsu se chystá další sonda, která se pokusí o odběr vzorků z měsíčku Phobos. Samozřejmě nebude chybět ani živě komentovaný přenos. Těšíte se na tuto misi? #MMX #H3 #JAXA kosmonautix.cz/2026/10/19/zi…

First week back on Earth, a brief recap. Busy times with science, medical tests, physical training and of course a very joyous family reunion. Missing weightlessness, but loving Earth!

Anyone who admires 🇫🇷 is left saddened by this weekend’s violence
Ahead of the 2027 presidential election, it will further polarise public debate and politicise the streets. France risks avoiding the big questions about its future that really matter

Latest: Zelenskyy tells reporters over WhatsApp that restrictions on Ukraine's Starlink systems remain. Interceptor drones can't function, logistics and operations hobbled. The maximum speed is 161 kph; "exceeding this limit causes the Starlink connection to cut out completely, resulting in the loss of the drone."
He says Ukraine has done tests to determine whether SpaceX is truly facing technical issues, as has been told Kyiv by the US side, or if this is a "deliberate operation... to restrict us, cut us off, and prevent us from defending ourselves and protecting our people, both at the front and among the civilian population."
He says Ukraine "sent a couple of vehicles equipped with Starlink terminals into European Union territory."
"They moved at speeds exceeding 180kph, and the Starlink systems worked perfectly. We have the relevant logs and evidence to prove this."
He adds: "The conclusion is clear: the restrictions are in effect within Ukraine but do not apply within the European Union. In other words, this is a planned operation."

Crew-13 arrived on a Dragon and now Expedition 75 is capturing a Dragon. @SpaceX cargo vehicle 35 launched two days ago and is arriving to @Space_Station now. @Astro_Kutryk is leading the way by monitoring the approach in this video.

Roman cancel culture? On Instant Classics this week, we look at what people now often call "damnatio memoriae" (though that was never a Roman term)...how did the Romans police political memory? youtube.com/watch?v=OiMKGi-2…
