My Mumbai metro card works in other cities in India too! Over the past two months, I’ve found that it works in Delhi, Ahmedabad, and Bengaluru. And that’s despite the local staff saying it will not—because the card color is unusual for their city. I love this convenience. 🚈
I was sad to work on this month’s Indian Space Progress report. Even as we celebrate a successful safety test key to human spaceflight and ISRO’s new ambition to send an Indian to the Moon by 2040, having 200 million+ school students learn about Chandrayaan 3 mixed with mythology is very worrying.
I’m thrilled to welcome SatSure subsidiary KaleidEO as a sponsor of my monthly Indian Space Progress reports. 🚀🛰️
Alongside the other organization sponsors of the Takshashila Institution and SkyServe, my newsletter is on firm footing to reflect on the Indian space landscape for years to come. 🌏

NASA gets serious about extracting oxygen from soil on the Moon as the agency plans to fund such a demonstration mission end of decade, which will feed forward to mature systems that will provide oxygen for future astronauts and Moon bases: blog.jatan.space/p/moon-mo… 🚀🧑🏽🚀🌗

New business card. I’ve always valued my editorial independence the most as a space exploration writer, even if it hasn’t been easy to earn and maintain that. It feels so good to feature my own publication on my card rather than someone else’s. A big thanks to all who read and support my work. 💛🌗
BTW I’m on Patreon if you’d like to support my independent space writing on Moon exploration and more! 🚀🌗
Indian users, you can directly UPI me if you love my coverage of all things (civil) Indian space! 🇮🇳

"When we do not accept loss of a single life in human spaceflight without far-reaching programmatic consequences or outright cancellations, and strive to avoid any severe injuries too, why should the rate of such harm be any higher for the people making human spaceflight happen?"
