Mastodon! I'm delivering a talk to a couple of grade 9 classes in a month on the use of space (mainly satellites, but probes to other planets, comets, etc., will be included).
How does your work benefit from satellites?
I'm thinking of a direct use of the data, as opposed to stuff like “internet access” or “my bank relies on satellites to transfer my grant money from one account to another” 😄
Anecdotes, rants, personal stories are all fair game 😊
(To the inevitable suggestion that I just Google this, yes, I can, and have, but I want the human element - I want to be able to say "someone I ‘know’ uses satellites for their job, and this is what they like about the tech”)
Hashtag suggestions are welcome.
(Also - question: Does Mastodon discriminate hashtags with different capitalization? Are #Astronomy and #astronomy functionally different? We *really* need some kind of ISO standard 😉)
