I suggest we get our amateur radio guys to contact them

If you want to get used to the empty void of space, you could always just use friendica.
You can sub to every lemmy community you do here and make it lively af, friendicas only dead if you dont setitup in any way
Ans you get to see who disliked your comments, I never thought that should be anonymous on any site
So friendica is only lively if it’s Lemmy?
Its an aggregator in my eyes
This might be more achievable than it sounds: there is quite a bit of space content on Mastodon already. Seti have an official account along with several astronomers, observatories and astrophysicists. Nasa possibly used to have an official account that has gone inactive. I can’t see any astronauts there at the moment but that could easily change
Perhaps its a lot to ask, but could you share some of the people profiles?
Sure. The SETI account is https://mastodon.social/@setiinstitute
This looks like it might have been the NASA account, but I can’t verify whether it was official: https://mstdn.social/@NASA (The unofficial one that is active and more popular is https://social.beachcom.org/@nasa)

This is just what I found looking around, I think it shows there’s a strong space community on the fediverse.
God, the tantrums from the established media channels would be hysterical.
There’s that one astronaut that posts awesome pics from ISS on reddit, Don Pettit or u/astro_pettit. Might be the best shot.
