We are saddened by the passing of Dr. Frank Drake. Drake was driven by the question of whether we are alone in the universe. His work, including the famous Drake Equation, has shaped the search for life for decades. Our CEO @BillNye shares his thoughts on Drake's passing here.

@CaseyDreier @PlanRad @exploreplanets should have @RocketToLulu & @erikanesvold (@makingnewworlds) on the podcast talking about the space & science budget compared to the military budget, decolonizing space science, exploration, language & actions, commercialization of space, etc
Dr. Lucianne Walkowicz@RocketToLulu18 Feb 2021
I appreciate this point (& @JuniperLSimonis as an amazing human) but I think picking on big price tags that are actually small fry in government spending is a mistake. The defense budget is nearly $700 billion— tap the war machine and pay people reparations, income, etc
