Honored to receive the Astro Award presented by Everyday Astronaut. Today, it’s hard to picture space culture without @Erdayastronaut, @NASASpaceflight, and @DJSnM. I’m old enough to remember the days of Spacevidcast / TMRO, Bad Astronomy and Universe Today, when space on the Internet felt smaller and fragmented. Then Everyday Astronaut arrived and changed everything. He doesn’t just cover launches. He has helped educate an entire generation about space and how spaceflight works, keeping imagination alive while anchoring it in reality. Without his work, our sense of possibility would be far narrower, and we likely would never have come together as a community in the first place. I really hope one day someone will give dearMoon a second life, and perhaps one day Tim himself will become a real astronaut and receive his Astro Award. Either way, future missions will fly a little higher because of what he has built.
