MODERATORS
 

Hey folks (if folks there be)! I’m one of the new mods for this small community. I’m not by nature a huge poster of content (too many interactions with STRIVES, too many briefings on CUI/ITAR/Limited Rights 🤐)… but I feel like y’all are even tighter-lipped than me.

So. I’m going to throw this post out, looking for signs of life. Interested to know whether there’s a niche this community could be filling, interested to know whether the content creators have migrated back to Reddit. Interested to know if there’s a feature or element of the site that is hindering participation.

If this goes unanswered, I’m probably going to propose to have the community eliminated (is that even a thing?) or taken private and held in trust for the next group that want to have a go. A dusty, inactive channel is a bad look when the agency and the world of space in general is so vibrant.

Thoughts?

Yeah, I understand. Most of the activity on the SpaceX community so far seems to be focused on the operations of the company rather than the antics of its CEO, so I don't expect too much trouble. Please let me know if you notice anything out of line. We don't want to brigade.

My personal feelings on Elon as of late are also... a bit complex, as you put it.

I'm mostly just excited about the prospect of human spaceflight beyond LEO again. Can't wait for Artemis II and III, as well as future Mars missions!
