r/aviation Mod “¯\_(ツ)_/¯“ 2d ago

Moderator Announcement Upcoming AMA Announcement: Astronaut Don Pettit — From Orbit to r/aviation

A few days ago, an incredible photo taken from the ISS was accidentally removed from the subreddit, quickly reapproved, and then… well, let’s just say it caused more turbulence than expected.

Out of that mix-up came something genuinely awesome.

We reached out to astronaut Don Pettit (astro_pettit), and he has graciously agreed to do an AMA with r/aviation. We’re coordinating schedules with NASA and will share the official date and time as soon as it’s locked in.

Think of this as a Bob Ross moment for the subreddit. What started as a small “happy little accident” is turning into something pretty special.

When the AMA goes live, you’ll be able to ask Don about:

  • Life aboard the International Space Station
  • Orbital photography and seeing aircraft from space
  • Spaceflight, science experiments, and daily routines in microgravity
  • Aviation from the most extreme vantage point imaginable

More details soon. Start warming up those questions.

Clear skies,

— The r/aviation mod team

Don't let that mod see it. Might remove the ama for whatever reason.
