Space exploration is expensive. I know that. This is the first of what I hope will be many posts about why space exploration is worthwhile, despite the high price tag.

Living with a Star

I love space, you love space—lots and lots of people love space.  It’s easy to get large numbers of people hyped up about outer space!  But as soon as you start talking about funding space ex…

A properly tax-payer funded public space program, run by competent administrators, and staffed by Americans with the best science and engineering skills, would suck the life out of, and obviate the government's dependence on, certain other citizen's profit machines.

Some of whom may not have the nation's best interests in mind.

I was recently in Washington, D.C., as part of a group of ordinary citizens talking to Congress about why we love space and why we support NASA funding. Here are my final thoughts and reflections about this experience:

Mr. Pailly Goes to Washington

Sometimes I say I’m shy.  Sometimes I call myself an introvert.  But that’s not the full truth.  I have some deep-rooted social anxiety issues which date back to some unpleasant experiences I had a…

I Love Space!

I recently returned from a trip to D.C. to help advocate for NASA funding. I'll have more to say about that on my blog sometime next week.

But part of my trip got me thinking about the life of a writer, and that's my topic for this month's Insecure Writer's Support Group post.

IWSG: Real Reasons vs. Acceptable Reasons

I just got back from an event in Washington D.C., an event where ordinary citizens (as opposed to professional lobbyists) got a chance to advocate for space exploration to U.S. lawmakers.  I’ll hav…

Finished our training for The Planetary Society's Day of Action, yesterday. Today we meet with Congressional staffers. #DayofAction #FundNASA

I am in DC today and tomorrow as part of a group advocating (as private citizens, not professional lobbyists) for space exploration.

NASA punched the sky ... and it worked.

Two independent measurements show that NASA's DART mission to deflect the trajectory of an asteroid succeeded.

Incredibly, DART's amazingly accurate long-shot punch to an asteroid's face was made even stronger than the impact alone by the force of the blast ejecting material from impact site. A real one-two punch that might *** save the planet *** someday.

Watched #Artemis take off tonight. Stayed up far to late, now can't sleep because I'm genuinely just too giddy. Just think, this is the first step in a long chain of missions that will include TWO manned moon landings within the next decade. I literally am having a hard time believing it; truly something to be proud of! #SpaceIsCool #FundNASA
