April 12 - the Cosmonautics Day, or Space Science Day

May the Space be with you!

In celebration of Cosmonautics Day, I’ll be using these wonderful Valentina Tereshkova stamps to ship orders placed in my Etsy shop today, on April 12.

I only have 6 of these, but if there are more orders I have some other nice space-themed stamps. :)

COSMONAUTICS DAY BABEY!!!!!!!!!

hey! im not that well versed on all things space bc it's a relatively new interest of mine. how come ive seen so many blogs post about not wanting the other nasa logo? you totally don't have to answer, i just saw that you reblogged a post about it :) hope you have a good day!

By the other NASA logo do you mean the worm or the wormball?

And to answer your question, I’m think the logo arguments are pretty much entirely aesthetic. Some people think the worm is dated and ugly, other people love how sleek it looks. Some people think the wormball is a good compromise, others think the aesthetics are clashy (I’m in that boat.)

For reference, here’s some NASA logos. The ones under the cut are a little rare and honestly you don’t have to care about them, they just look cool.

This is the meatball. It’s the original from the 60′s and it’s still in use today. Detailed yet clean. Gorgeous. The swoosh is a tie in with the aero side of NASA and the stars and orbit with space. The serif lettering manages to look classy rather than dated. Even if this isn’t your preferred logo, you have to respect how it’s got the perfect amount of detail to look interesting while also being ca clean design.

This is the worm. It was an attempt to modernize the logo around the start of the Shuttle/Skylab era. If this was for any other agency, I admit the worm styling would be a little dated. But personally, I think this logo brings back some of the enthusiasm of the early Shuttle era, just like the meatball brings back the energy of the Apollo era. It’s striking, it’s recognizable, and it’s one of my favorite worm stylings. (Compare it to SF MUNI’s worm logo, which was so cluttered I, as a local, didn’t notice it said “muni” until I was a teenager.)

This is the wormball. (Wikimedia was giving me trouble so it’s just a transparent background; I actually don’t have this one saved on my laptop for personal aesthetic reasons lmao.) Some people love it, but you will never convince me to. 100% personal preference, though, so if you love it, that’s fine, just keep it away from me. It’s like pineapple on pizza; you either love it or you hate it, but you’ve definitely got a strong enough opinion to argue about it.

This is NASA’s seal. You’ll only ever see it on official documents and things like that. It’s not something that’s displayed very commonly on, say, the wall of a NASA facility, and even less commonly on spacecraft. I believe this has been in use since the creation of the agency.

And, last but not least, I’d like to leave you with how the insignia is displayed on NASA aircraft, because they all. Look. Sick.

When they display the meatball on the rudder of an aircraft, like on SOFIA here, they omit the meatball and stars and display it like this! It looks cool as hell and it looks even better on aircraft where the rudder frames it nicer. (While I was searching around I saw a mockup for a meatballess wormball and it didn’t look awful.) Maybe we should call this the vegan meatball?

It’s also displayed like this on aircraft that were associated with NASA/USAF’s hypersonic research program in the early 60′s. Some pilots from this program went on to become astronauts.

... Including Neil armstrong who flew the X-15 above.

Aircraft from that program also featured a pretty neat rudder: it has this yellow stripe with NASA in a serif font that's unique to this design, as far as I know.

The first photo is Neil's X-15 again, the other is Dick Scobee's X-24B.

Lastly, the worm was plastered unedited onto aircraft during the worm era. It didn't always look good, but it looked too sexy on the X-29 to not include a pic.

The bloodroot is up and blooming. ☺️

Reblog if it’s okay for anybody to message you if they’re feeling lonely during self isolation. Let’s get through this together!

Tbh, even if they aren’t as well-known as the Three Greats (Gagarin, Tereshkova and Leonov), the other Soviet cosmonauts were pretty cute too. Like, Yegorov, Bykovsky, Belyayev, heck, even Titov were all just so huggable-looking! And that’s just from the first original group.

aaaah so true!! 💕

they’re all such cutie pies! 💞

My boyfriend and I were joking that this looks like something out of a Highlights magazine; anyways, here is Yuri Gagarin for my half of a trade with @firefly-cherub!!

Hope Valentina Tereshkova dies of coronavirus

You know, that’s really uncalled for, anon. Just because someone has terrible political views doesn’t mean they deserve to die, especially so painfully. Gotta say I was disappointed and shocked to read this ask when I woke up this morning. 

By the time Americans arrived on Mir—nearly a decade into its life—the station had become cluttered with used-up and broken equipment and floating bags of trash. During Mir’s lifetime, no adequate remedy was ever developed to deal with the stowage situation. Mir looked like a metal rabbit warren, or, as Mike Foale put it, “a bit like a frat house, but more organized and better looked after.”

Based from that repost, i remember there's muslim astronauts who celebrates Eid Ul Fitr on space!l And also, performed their 5 time prayer on there.

Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor Al Masrie bin Sheikh Mustapha, the first Malaysian astronaut.

Also shortly known as Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor, is a malaysian orthopedic doctor with Arab-Malay descent and in his leisure time, a part-time model.

With Russian cosmonaut Yuri Malenchenko and NASA astronaut Peggy Whitson, they go to the ISS on 10 October 2007 with Soyuz TMA-11.

The eid ul fitr was celebrated in 13 October.

Does he celebrate it? Yes!

Here is him, singing Eid Chants. We usually sing it before doing Eid ul fitr prayer. And some Eid ul fitr messages and greetings for malaysians (and muslims!) in malay.

Also, praying in ISS.

How about the wudu/ablution?

We usually using water, and its a must for using water. But, if water is not available we can do tayamum instead! (using clean dust)

In that 'always floating' condition is not really recommended to using water for wudu, the water particles can be spread around and broke the space station electrical stuff. So it's more recommended to do tayamum.

How about the kibla? Well, the position can be everywhere because well, he can't just wait till ISS rotates towards to the city of mecca right? He'll be losing his one of his 5 time prayer, and it's really confusing to set the constant kibla on space. You could check my recent repost for more further information.

But Wait. He is not the first Muslim who do that, in 1985, The first Muslim and arab in space, Sultan bin Salman al Saud also celebrating Eid Ul Fitr, fasting, reading Quran and praying in outer space.

Prince Sultan bin Salman al-Saud is one of King Salman bin Abdulaziz al-Saud son, and the first astronaut from saudi royal family.

His mission started on 17 June 1985 with Space shuttle discovery STS-51-G, carrying three communications satellites, Arabsat-1B, Morelos I, and Telstar 3D.

It's the month of ramadhan too.

Recently, First emirati astronaut Hazza al Mansouri also do his prayer on ISS too.

The third arab in space, first arab in ISS, going to space with Russian cosmonaut Oleg Skripochka and NASA astronaut Jessica Meir with Soyuz MS-15 spacecraft on 25 September 2019.

Maybe that's all! well...these people are really obedient when it comes to doing their religious beliefs heh, that's sounds interesting tho lol

And... I'm so sorry for my broken English!😅🇲🇾🇸🇦🇦🇪🚀🌟

Stay safe everyone, and always wash your hands!

My thoughts....I think that's really unique that they also celebrating one of the muslim traditions in space...especially when they performing their prayer.

Its seems really hard when they want to do sujud in the conditions where they always floating around, heeeheh~🤔😅

Social Distancing Day 12: Just googled “What direction do Muslim astronauts pray towards?”

Eurovision related dreams I've had

Kristian Kostov came back in 2018 and won.

Alexander Rybak told Alekseev he was his long lost dad and Mikolas Josef was watching in the background.

Benjamin Ingrosso Tweeted that he didn't get the hype about Arcade and the fandom went crazy on him.

I was wearing a shirt that said "I Can't Go On" in support of Robin Bengtsson's Eurovision entry.

I was travelling with Benjamin Ingrosso, my cat, and a couple of my irl friends to Germany.

My dad said Bilal Hassani would win Eurovision and he won.

some fucken penguin moved into my town from dina’s town and he was wearing this
