NASA just finalized its strategy for a "continuous heartbeat" of humans in LEO—a commitment I called for in my recent OpEd tinyurl.com/5f56tvv9.
Sustaining LEO is key to innovation, research, and growth.

Thanks @TheRealBuzz for promoting my article and helping to guide NASA policy: tinyurl.com/5n8ssw2v
Humbled to see @TheRealBuzz share my recent OpEd on continuous human presence in LEO. An honor to have these ideas resonate with one of the greatest pioneers in space exploration! tinyurl.com/5f56tvv9 🚀🌌 #SpaceExploration

This is an interesting opinion piece highlighting the merits of maintain a continuous human presence in LEO – an increasingly important topic as we get closer to the deorbiting of the International Space Station. There are some very good practical points raised here that are worth reading. Thank you for putting pen to paper!

🚀 Humans belong in space—not just for missions, but for the long haul.
Check out my latest OpEd in @SpaceNews_Inc: "Continuous Human Presence in LEO: A True Commitment, Not a Temporary Excursion."

I also touch on points by @GregWAutry @DavidJUrban that regressing to an intermittent presence in space cedes low Earth orbit to China's space program.

"One message I took away from my experience was an appreciation of the opportunity to enjoy space, but to do it in a way that benefits the rest of humanity. My MIFP summer is definitely a highlight of my grad school experience." Great interview w/ #MattFellowship alum @themanwei!
Manwei Chan went from studying glow-in-the-dark stars and planets in his bedroom to studying how propulsion can enhance the capabilities of satellite constellations.

Zero-G Research Highlight! @SomuDhulipala and @themanwei test Agrifuge: a method that allows astronauts to grow plants for long duration spaceflight. Additionally, Agrifuge provides mental health benefits to astronauts from gardening in space.

@SomuDhulipala and I tested Agrifuge, a plant habitat designed to psychologically benefit astronauts during long-duration space flight, doubling as an agricultural irrigation system. Check out our project page for more info: bit.ly/3oYlte1
Thanks to @ExploreSpace_ML and @mitseds for the flight opportunity with @ZEROGResearch and for the generous research support.

Last week, we had a chance to test our new irrigation system for space on a Zero-G flight. Our system combines the mental health benefits of gardening with the practical utility of growing plants for long-haul space flights. Read more here - www-prod.media.mit.edu/proje…

Long exposure of the #SaturnJupiterConjunction last night. Captured with my #SonyAlpha and a #zeiss 500x telephoto lens. Starry night filter used to brighten background during shooting and no post-processing. Budding #Astrophotographer, tips appreciated. #Conjunction2020
