🚀 ONE MONTH TODAY! In exactly one month, we'll be welcoming NASA astronaut Doug Hurley to Cranfield for our Autumn Space Social.... and it's starting to feel very real as final preparations are underway! Only 40 General Admission places remain! 📅 Saturday 7 November 2026 📍 Cranfield, Bedfordshire 🎟️ General Admission £49 thearmchairastronaut.co.uk/d… Your events. Your community. 🚀 Space is for everyone.

🚀 3,000 followers. 30,000 website visits. One shared passion for space. Since our online relaunch in June 2024, The Armchair Astronaut website has received over 30,000 visits. And this weekend, our Facebook community reached 3,000 followers. We know there are much bigger organisations and audiences out there. But for a small, independent, entirely self-funded community group, it's not just about the numbers.... 3,000 might not be an enormous audience.... but it's certainly a meaningful one! We're the people who buy the books, watch the films and documentaries, pursue careers in the space industry or nurture those who do. We attend events, support one another and ultimately contribute to a much bigger future for space exploration. Every ticket purchased, every post shared, every conversation started and every person who discovers a love of space helps us keep going. Our aim has never been to build the biggest audience. It's to create genuine opportunities for people to meet astronauts, hear their stories, ask their own questions and share those experiences with others.... then go forth and pursue their own futures, whether in space or right here on Earth. To all our followers and everyone who's been part of the journey so far: thank you. ❤️ Your events. Your community. 🚀 Space is for everyone.

🚀 Imagine sitting across the room from Doug Hurley and having the chance to hear him speak, to ask him your own question, and then to meet him... you can even stay for dinner. Doug piloted STS-135, the final Space Shuttle mission, and nearly nine years later commanded SpaceX Demo-2, the first crewed Dragon mission. Two historic missions. On Saturday 7th November, Doug will be at our Autumn Space Social in Cranfield, Bedfordshire, sharing those experiences with you..... but only if you're in the room. You'll hear Doug speak live, take part in the audience Q&A, and have the opportunity to meet him in person. General Admission is just £49. If you've been thinking about coming, we'd love to see you there. 🎟️ Tickets: thearmchairastronaut.co.uk/d… If you know someone who would love this, please share this post and tag them. 🚀

One of the most rewarding parts of every Space Social isn't what's happening on stage... it's everything happening around it. Friends catching up. Families discovering space together. New conversations beginning. Exhibitors sharing their passion. Complete strangers finding a shared fascination with human spaceflight. That's the community we've been building together, and it's something we're incredibly proud of. Thank you to everyone who helped make Summer Space Social 2026 such a welcoming, inspiring and memorable day. 🚀 The Armchair Astronaut

This Saturday, a room full of people will come together because they all share the same fascination. Some have followed human spaceflight since Apollo. Some have never attended an astronaut event before. Some will be bringing their children. Others will finally tick something off their bucket list. By the end of the day, they'll all have something in common... They'll have spent the day hearing first-hand from someone who has lived and worked in space. If you'd like to be part of it, we'd love to welcome you. 🚀 Summer Space Social 2026 📅 Saturday 11th July 📍 Cranfield, Bedfordshire 🎟 Tickets: thearmchairastronaut.co.uk/d…
