🚀 L-1 - TO SPACE FOR DWIGHT 🚀 Through the alchemy of art, Ed Dwight transformed the leaden weight of disappointment into the gold of inspiration. His sculptures stand as beacons of hope, reminding us that even when dreams are deferred, they can be reshaped into something enduringly beautiful. In Dwight’s hands, the narrative of Black America found a new form, one that will endure as long as the metal from which it is forged. Tomorrow, Ed Dwight will join the ranks of a new breed of spacefarer, aboard Blue Origin’s New Shepard rocket. This flight, a tapestry woven from the threads of past aspirations and future hopes, is not merely a journey through the stratosphere but a symbolic voyage that transcends the boundaries of age, race, and time. Sponsored by Space for Humanity, a non-profit organization dedicated to democratizing access to space, Dwight’s odyssey is a beacon of possibility. It is a journey that honors his legacy, not only as a pilot and an artist, but as a pioneer who once stood on the precipice of history, only to be denied the chance to leap. Tune in tomorrow for this historic launch!

Continuing our #7DaysofPeregrinePayloads, the next of the #20PayloadsofPeregrine is a digital storage payload from the non-profit Lunar Mission One. Supporting Lunar Mission One's Footsteps on the Moon campaign, this archive of video, images, and music will serve as a digital time capsule of life on Earth preserved forever on the lunar surface. #PM1 #payload #7DaysofPeregrinePayloads #20PayloadsofPeregrine

Since 1957, humans have managed more than 1000 space missions. With the help of our robotic friends, we have visited all 8 planets of the solar system, and more then 600 people already been to space. 12 among them walked on the Moon.  We believe that space exploration goes hand in hand with inspiration. That's why we decided to launch Now in Space – a visually advanced Cosmopedia showcasing all humanity's accomplishments in space. Built for inspiration to accomplish more. We recently rolled out our alpha version and will soon start reaching out to space enthusiasts to help us fill our database with all the missions we, as humans, have accomplished. Now in Space is a non-profit project built by people who love all things cosmos for people.

What Makes #MiniaturizedSatellites Ideal for Scientific Investigations? Small satellites revolutionize space exploration by enabling affordable missions for #commercial, non-profit, and #educational entities. With lighter payloads, they offer cost-effective solutions, #piggybacking on larger launches or using smaller, cheaper rockets. Their miniaturized designs facilitate mass production and rapid deployment, opening up new frontiers for scientific research and technological innovation Want To Know More:https://lnkd.in/d33SqXqB #SmallSatellites #SpaceExploration #CostEffectiveTech #MiniaturizedSatellites #LaunchInnovation #SpaceMissionRevolution #AffordableSpace #InnovationInOrbit #LowCostLaunch #PiggybackSatellites
