$7–$17 in the last 30 days
From 1.4M views on @Cmdr_Hadfield's original posts in the last 30 days.
Rewards eligibility: likely
Rough estimate. X publishes no payout rate, so this assumes about $5–12 per 1M original-post impressions from reported creator payouts. Only Premium viewers’ impressions count, so real payouts can be much lower.

Have a great Thanksgiving, Canada. One of the most ancient of all celebrations, of harvest time. Share it with others if you can. Enjoy the weekend!

Good luck tomorrow morning with the Starship launch! First time to orbit - I'll bet all 22,000 employees at @SpaceX will have heads turned skyward. I'll be watching: https://t.co/GZUPZtGFWt

Such awful news from the military base at Wainwright, Alberta, with multiple lives lost and many badly injured. My heart goes out to families and friends, with impact across our armed forces. Immense gratitude to the first responders and medics on the scene.

Amazing moment in time - look closely. An L-39 jet is crossing the Sun, but right next to its tail you can see the TIE fighter silhouette of the International Space Station, crossing way higher & faster. Cool photo by Petr Horálek, Czech Republic https://t.co/x8pqHinDww

Great fun trading used guitar picks with Brian May of Queen. He uses old sixpences, and was kind enough to find one with my birthyear at our concert this weekend. I use hard plastic ones, the mission emblem from my 3rd spaceflight. (such a fine person, Sir Brian May, PhD astrophysicist & phenomenal musician/human, @DrBrianMay of @QueenWillRock)

My custom-shaped seat liner, to help cushion Earth impact. First they poured a plaster cast of my backside, then they carved this liner to exactly fit me: protection during the violence of reentry and 'touchdown.' Now on display at the Canada @avspacemuseum in Ottawa.

The Bluewater Bridge, off my wingtip. All the water of 3 Great Lakes has poured underneath since 1938. A mile-long, 200+ ft high vital link between Port Huron MI and my hometown of Sarnia ON. Beautiful engineering.

The crater from the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs. Just visible as this green arc on Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, the Chicxulub asteroid was 6-9 mi/10-15 km wide. It rocked the world. Image is from when we mapped the entire world in 10 days with a malfunctioning Shuttle - huge kudos to the Mission Control team that saved the day on STS-99. Ferdinand Magellan would have been impressed. https://t.co/W3M0yCukn0 @NASA

Fire in space - there's no way to evacuate the building. Here's how we train for it in Soyuz, our Space Station lifeboat. One way to put fire out is to vent the ship to vacuum - no oxygen. That's why we wear pressure suits.

Great Lakes sturgeon live for hundreds of years. Tag-and-release programs from @michiganstateu over the past 44 years, looking at growth rates, indicate 90 to 279 years for males, 99 to 427 years for females. Tough, beautiful life on our interdependant world. details: https://t.co/CRaFSkIbOV

Cool Sun Dog this morning. Just the right angle between the Sun, the high cirrus cloud ice crystals, and me. Scientific name is a parhelion, 22 degrees to the side of the Sun. A fine welcome to the first day of Autumn.

How much space junk is there? Almost 50,000 trackable things in orbit, and growing. We launch 10 new things/day, and 3 re-enter. Plus 40 tons of space rocks hit Earth daily. Excellent new summary chart from @esa. Read the whole report: https://t.co/PEaDOgEqxk

71% of Earth is covered by water. Living in orbit, landfall is a welcome visual relief. But some sunrises over our blue world have a great sense of drama.
