Everyday Astronaut engagement report
@Erdayastronaut - 2.1M followers on X
Measured over 18 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on September 1, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 1.3K interactions against 2.1M followers, an engagement rate of 0.062%. Measured over 18 original posts, its engagement rate beats 78% of 3,758 tracked accounts of a similar size. Comparing inside a size band matters here: engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly just re-measure the follower count. Posts are seen about 95K times each, and 1.34% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 4.61% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.2 post a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 57% of days. Most posts go out around 17:00 UTC, and Friday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 18 posts sampled, 67% carry an image or video, 17% are part of a thread and 33% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 141K interactions, about 111x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Everyday Astronaut's engagement rate beats 78% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,758 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 10 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.
On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 65% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.

At 0.062%, Everyday Astronaut sits above the 25th percentile of the 36,378 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the below the median band, which runs 0.012% to 0.08%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 17:00 UTC, and Friday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

I finally have all 1.2 million raw image files from my latest mission to ISS! Here is a sample of one of my favorite Milky Way photos, taken from the Cupola with Nikon Z9, Arri Zeiss 15mm lens, T1.8 with custom sidereal drive that cancelled out star motion relative to our orbit. https://t.co/Sjm4UFgOs6

We’re sending a ship out to recover Starship
- Aug 20, 20269.4x their median
Looks like we will probably catch the ship with the tower in a few months. If there had been a tower out to sea where we practiced landing the ship, it would have been caught. First reflight of the ship will be either end of this year or early next. That will be a fork in the road of history for consciousness reaching the stars.

Coming soon: one of history’s most complex missions Tune in on Tuesday, June 9, at 11am ET, to meet the astronauts flying aboard Artemis III, the mission that will test docking capabilities with commercial landers in low Earth orbit — an important step to crewed lunar landings. https://t.co/8XPmEVLwQK

A giant leap to Mars! 🚀 NASA recently completed testing of a lithium-fed electromagnetic thruster, reaching 5x more power than today's electric propulsion systems. Paired with a nuclear power source, this tech could slash travel time to Mars! MORE: https://t.co/1P7FnGfkf5… https://t.co/WGCf0GjGiE

Starship’s thirteenth flight test is preparing to launch as early as Thursday, July 16 → https://t.co/Rp7VwBzpWx https://t.co/jdpFlQUEpF

Now targeting Friday, July 24 for Starship’s thirteenth flight test, due to weather. A key objective for the flight test is to get clear imagery from the ground of Starship’s heatshield as it flies at a higher dynamic pressure during ascent, which won't be possible with today's weather conditions. Visibility is forecast to be ideal for a Friday attempt.
