I finished the #audiobook Discordance by Jim Baggott. If you’re passionate about #OuterSpace #physics #science you may want to pick this up next week! #reading #bookreview https://hollysreadingescapades.blogspot.com/2026/01/book-review-discordance-troubled.html?m=1

We have published our Manifesto, a document that lays out the rationale for the existence of CSE, summarizes our vision for humanity's future in #space, and calls people, governments and private actors everywhere to take action to realize that future.

Read the document here: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.18283974

So I’m reading about #outerspace all year. I picked up Harry Cliff’s book #spaceoddities which explains in #layman terms the controversy in the expending universe. Definitely engaging. #cosmology #hubble #bookrecommendation #bookreview https://hollysreadingescapades.blogspot.com/2026/01/book-review-space-oddities-by-harry.html?m=1

Another cool boardgame I had a chance to try over the holidays is Orbit. This one has a lot of replayability, I think, because while you're moving your spaceship around the board to visit planets, the planets are moving too. There is also a second side to the board with more elaborate orbits for a more advanced game.

Trump is still losing his war against renewable energy: orbiting data centers will get 24/7 solar power and ambient cooling, too.

🚀 #RocketHistory

📆 16th century
Johann #Schmidlap invented the "step rocket," a multi-staged vehicle, basic to all rockets today that go into #OuterSpace
📆 17th century
Isaac #Newton explained how rockets work and why they are able to work in the vacuum of outer space
📆 1898
Konstantin #Tsiolkovsky suggested the use of liquid propellants for rockets in order to achieve greater range
📆 1923
Hermann #Oberth published a book about rocket travel into outer space

An interesting diplomatic communication today from #France toward #Russia: https://onu.delegfrance.org/france-reaffirms-its-support-for-international-space-law

"France reaffirms its support for international space law, which must be complemented by confidence-building and transparency measures, as well as by the development of norms of responsible behavior.

"In the face of threats, our primary safeguard remains compliance with the international legal regime applicable to outer space, and first and foremost the 1967 Treaty, which is its cornerstone.

"In this regard, France reiterates its concern about the potential placement of weapons of mass destruction in outer space, which would constitute a flagrant violation of Article 4 of the 1967 Treaty, and a major threat to international peace and security.

"In addition, France is involved in ongoing discussions in the competent bodies on ways to prevent an arms race in outer space. The most appropriate approach to this end is the development of norms of responsible behavior that promote mutual understanding and reduce the risks of uncontrolled escalation. These norms could serve, if necessary, as a basis for the subsequent development of new legally or politically binding instruments."
