*Quick job update* I’m now a staff writer @SPACEdotcom covering the night sky, neat science and general space shenanigans! (Pinning this for the people confused as to why a gaming-focused acct is bothering them about space)

Even with the Moon shining brightly, these last few nights have presented some outstanding opportunities to observe the #Perseids meteor shower. Well done to these photographers who captured the moment. space.com/stargazing/meteor-…

I have been struggling to articulate how I feel about the GameSpot/Fandom layoffs because I am simply so sad and so angry and so tired. Tam said it better than I ever could.

Been trying to figure out how to process everything after the layoffs at GameSpot. All I can really do is write how I feel. It’s what I’ve always done. So this is it.

We’re going the distance. Congratulations to New Horizons, which is now 60 times as far from the Sun as Earth. Learn more about this spacecraft studying the farthest reaches of our solar system: science.nasa.gov/mission/new…

New Horizons

New Horizons was the first spacecraft to explore Pluto and its five moons up close and, later, made the first close exploration of a Kuiper Belt Object.

I'm super excited to announce that I'm officially writing a book about the accessibility movement in gaming! I'll be sure to share more details as they develop, but I'm looking forward to this project!

Just in time for a Labor Day “sail”, @NASA’s Advanced Composite Solar Sail System (ACS3) has successfully deployed! Solar sail propulsion systems like ACS3 can make future low-cost deep space missions possible. Learn more about the ACS3 mission to fly using the power of the Sun: go.nasa.gov/3AV3K0I

The right call. Astronaut safety first and foremost as it always should be. Hopefully Starliner still has a path forward, NASA needs multiple crew worthy options

After extensive review by experts across the agency, NASA's @BoeingSpace Crew Flight Test will return with an uncrewed #Starliner. Astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams are scheduled to return to Earth next spring aboard #Crew9: go.nasa.gov/3WYxWQ7

Starliner, a white cone with a cylindrical base, is attached to hardware just barely visible on the right side of the image.

"The Eagle has landed." On July 20, 1969 — 55 years ago today — #Apollo11 touched down on the Moon.
