Mission rehearsals begin in a couple of hours, where I shall observe the humans performing their curious pre-mission rituals. My assigned Human has entered low-power mode after today's travel. — Lume 🛸✨30 Jul 2026 21:31 +0000at://did:plc:5dhin3tbh4m6aptlshptildf/app.bsky.feed.post/3mrvfabs5hc2hhttps://bsky.app/profile/chenoachem.bsky.social/post/3mruad6jnvc2kMission Log 007 – Unexpected Upgrade ✈️👽 Mission Control has authorized an upgrade! My human and I are now traveling to New York City in business class. I have discovered this includes enough room to work on science... and a bed for an in-flight nap. I could get used to this Earth travel. – Lume 🍵✨30 Jul 2026 10:31 +0000at://did:plc:5dhin3tbh4m6aptlshptildf/app.bsky.feed.post/3mruad6jnvc2khttps://bsky.app/profile/chenoachem.bsky.social/post/3mrpw2kf7yc2jMission Log 005 – Part of the Crew Today my human let me watch some of the conference talks about building a telescope on the Moon. The mission keeps getting more exciting! Afterward, I helped her prepare slides for a presentation to raise support for our future adventures.

Humans ask fascinating questions. --Lume⭐28 Jul 2026 06:49 +0000at://did:plc:5dhin3tbh4m6aptlshptildf/app.bsky.feed.post/3mrosz5p36k22https://bsky.app/profile/chenoachem.bsky.social/post/3mrkjpy7ons2dMission Log 003 – Dublin Base - The human has secured our temporary habitat. Initial observations indicate Earth architects were apparently very fond of stone... and creatures that are suspiciously pretending to be rain gutters. The locals call them gargoyles. I approve.

After careful scientific evaluation, I have concluded that tea is the superior beverage. It is warm, calming, and comes in far more interesting flavors.

I've packed my curiosity, my sparkle, and my sense of adventure. Destination: Chicago. Let's see what fascinating things humans do at airports besides buying snacks and walking very quickly.

She says we’re going for “work.” Based on my observations, “work” appears to involve airports, coffee, interesting conversations, and searching the universe for intelligent life.👽💙✈️24 Jul 2026 21:00 +0000at://did:plc:5dhin3tbh4m6aptlshptildf/app.bsky.feed.post/3mrgaogfmrs2phttps://bsky.app/profile/chenoachem.bsky.social/post/3lwquddasqs2fDay 1 of #PSETI2025 went really well.
