65dBnoiseI don't know about breaking the Apollo 13 record, but having human eyes see the far side while their spaceboat cruises around the Moon and listening to them describe what they see to nerd scientists and the world in open communications is indeed a big thing.

A 7-ton meteor broke apart over Ohio on March 17, 2026. This is a much larger object than the typical small meteors that burn up in the atmosphere.

Y'know, sometimes your friends just can't help boasting about having been part of Space Rocks 🗣️
And when they do it on national TV, putting us in the same sentence as both NASA and ESA, well ... ☺️🤪
Thank you to the mighty Jason Isaacs for this shout-out last week on "Would I Lie To You?" on BBC One in the UK – he's such a mensch & we love him to bits 🙇♂️

CHERRY POINT
I haven’t been keeping up – a very busy few days driving from DE to south NL, then to north NL for our son’s graduation, & back to south NL for the ESA ESTEC Open Day with #SpaceRocks yesterday.
Many pictures from that, but here’s a lovely one from the Lammermarkt underground car park in Leiden for now, representing some of the city’s key contributions to science, not least astronomy ✨
