I need some big crunchy board games fans in Leicester! Got a hankering to play some of my heavier games and need a crew to play with.
Welcome home @NASAArtemis ! What a great mission!
Got the chance to talk with the National Space Centre about the awesome Artemis 2 mission. Check out the special edition of the Space Now Podcast! Going live right now! youtu.be/5zHgl51Kino?si…

From inspiring young minds to publishing a rocket-powered guide to space 🚀 Our Education & Outreach Officer Josh Barker has launched a new children’s book exploring the science, history and future of rockets. Read more: space-park.co.uk/2026/03/new-bo…
Waterstones had it in stock a few days early!! So I couldn’t resist. Technically out on Thursday but if you wanna know about rockets, pick up my new book!
@downwithgloves Does it always smell like that when you’re there… I may have spotted the common denominator…
@downwithgloves Just throw soap at them until they stop!

On the latest episode of the Space Now Podcast, i was asked to make a wild prediction for next years. 'SpaceX might lose their lunar landing contract if they struggle to get Starship working reliably and Blue Origin keep progressing'. What's your wildest Space 2026 prediction?
It will appear near Leo in the East then spend around 6 minutes travelling across the sky before setting in the West. As if he is outrunning the Sun to get everything delivered. Its a high pass and around 2 hours before Sunrise so a great chance to spot it, if not a little early.
Occasionally the @Space_Station is visible at Christmas. It's a fun opportunity to 'Spot Santa' with your kids and stargaze. This year, the best visible pass is 6:20am (In the UK). If you have early risers, head outside, to watch Santa leave after delivering the presents!
A few weeks ago I got to sit down and chat with ESA Astronaut reserve, John Mcfall. He's a fascinating guy and a whole lot of fun. Listen to the latest episode of the Space Now podcast: youtube.com/watch?v=LUfxuh…
It’s a glorious day why not step away from your desk and have a walk in the sun. And while you do, have a listen to the latest episode of the Space Now Podcast. David and I talk about Aliens and first contact. Let us know what you think would happen. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/eli…
