We are partnering with researchers from Cornell University on a survey that will help us understand the relationship between community norms, technology, and participation. As part of their recruitment process, they are messaging a random sample of people who have interacted with the community in different ways. You may receive a chat message from their bot, u/civilservantbot, if you participated in r/science in the past 6 months.

If you received a message and don’t want to participate, please feel free to ignore it. They will send one more reminder message on June 2nd. You can ignore that too.

If you want to participate, the survey takes 15 minutes to complete and will ask questions about

NASA's Artemis II is set to launch from Kennedy Space Center in Florida on April 1, 2026 at 22:24 UTC. It marks the first crewed Artemis flight and a key step towards a long-term return to the Moon. The mission builds upon the success of the uncrewed Artemis I in 2022 and will demonstrate a broad range of capabilities needed on deep space missions.

The mission will send NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and CSA (Canadian Space Agency) astronaut Jeremy Hansen on an approximately 10‑day journey around the Moon.
