For two weeks, medical experts monitor the astronauts as they remain indoors, live in isolation, and avoid physical touch, all to prevent harmful microbes from traveling to space.

Good morning, #Aspen! It is the last day of the excellent conference I am participating in. It is sad to have reached the end of this incredible event, at a unique center, in a beautiful place.

Where Silence Glows
Pure magic as the great red moon quietly rises. The sea greets it with a brief unrest, then gently settles again. You stand there, silent, witnessing the moment as the night takes reign.

We discussed the return to the Moon with Dutch astronaut André Kuipers and space poet Marjolijn Heemstra at the royal academy of sciences in Amsterdam. Lots of science to be done there, but itis part of a new space race, with lots of political and commercial interests. Hence, we need to reclaim space as a public good and engage more in a public discourse about space. It is not just for nerds, because when the nerds get rich they rule the world & space.

Have you always be fascinated by space and its exploration?

Do you find stories about the Apollo program deeply inspiring?

Then you and me are on the same page.

So: Do also you find the knowledge that in the next few months there will be a crewed moon flyby just not interesting or inspiring at all?

I sincerely don't see what this is for, aside from filling the contractors' companies' pockets at the expense of actual research.

Is it my age or is this just pointless?

@mntyfrsh I happened to catch the moon rising today. I photographed it through the window, though. Outside, there are wind speeds of 8 from the east and -8 degrees Celsius. So it was due to spontaneity.
