Comment on New Objective: Convince an astronaut to use the Fediverse from space

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 mastodon.social/@setiinstitute
This looks like it might have been the NASA account, but I can’t verify whether it was official: mstdn.social/@NASA (The unofficial one that is active and more popular is social.beachcom.org/@nasa)
Some people working in space, e.g. astronomers and astrophysicists. There are many more, these are just some examples
These people appear to be current or former nasa employees:
And here are some other space-related organisations:
This is just what I found looking around, I think it shows there’s a strong space community on the fediverse.
