Superb sketch from San Diego Union Tribune @sdut about Katherine Johnson, the African-American mathematician whose calculations at @NASA were critical to the first & subsequent US crewed spaceflights

Yuri Gagarin became the first human to cross into outer space. His orbital spaceflight aboard the Vostok 1 consisted of a single orbit around Earth which skimmed the upper atmosphere at 169 kilometres at its lowest point.

Ship concept for one of the ladies

17 July 1975. 16.19.09 UTC/GMT. American Apollo and a Soviet Soyuz spacecraft docked in orbit. The first international space mission. Apollo–Soyuz was the last manned United States spaceflight for nearly six years until the first launch of the Space Shuttle in April 1981,
If you're not into piloted spaceflight only in cislunar space, however, a modest upgrade of AAP-type tech can give you Mars and Venus with sample return: https://t.co/5oSv8GuVV2
Meet Krish Ailas, a freshman at Sequoia, interested in astronomy, physics & spaceflight. Born as a girl, under the name Maya, but puberty made things a little murky. Discover Krish's story at the latest episode NOW. @Webtooncanvas : https://t.co/uFloZmYnry #PrideMonth #LGBTQ
I’m just going to say what we’re all thinking, the #Crew1 patch is the most badass patch in spaceflight history @Astro_Soichi @Astro_illini @VicGlover
Women have been working hard to get into space since the earliest days of spaceflight. @gtlabsrat and @mariswicks' #graphicnovel ASTRONAUTS is the perfect format for conveying their fight for equality.

Today (likely) is the big day for @SpaceX, @elonmusk, @NASA / @NASASocial and spaceflight in general! The first private company will send crew to the @Space_Station !

Read 1st chapter of Wayfinder, @route345art's #scifi comic about a rogue spaceflight engineer who returns to Earth—to be specific, 24th century Kolompur (formerly Sri Lanka)—& finds her plan go awry. Good worldbuilding. Lovely art. Now to wait impatiently to read it in full...
