We are at the dawn of a new era of space travel and I feel humbled to be a part of it. What are you most excited to see happen in your lifetime?

My Elizabeth Fischer and I became “us” in 1997 in a little town called Bahstan 😉.  For years we wanted to dine at the most romantic table in Boston, and today we got that chance.  Thanks to Tresca Restaurant table 77 for a magical night with my favorite gal.  Love you baby 😘

Awesome weekend in Boston as part of the first Astronaut Rock Star Awards with Uniphi Space Agency and O.A.R.. I may be the astronaut at IM, but putting Odie on the Moon was a full team effort and it was a thrill to receive the first Astronaut Rock Star Award at the sold out

Going to space is just as cool as you think it would be. All of the standards you've been accustomed to your whole life are suddenly gone. If you drop something it doesn't fall. If you place something down, it doesn't stay. All of these rules and parameters are just gone and your

Ever heard of a party shirt? Widely considered the mullet of shirts, it celebrates a business up front & party in the back type of vibe. Here we are at Great Wolf Lodge for an awards ceremony with the Schriver team sporting our best. Mine is Dr. Seuss (of course!).

The landscape of what it means to work in space exploration is changing. Intuitive Machines partnered with columbia1938 to help regulate our lander's temperature on the Moon and this type of partnership will accelerate technology. We want to get rid of the idea that space is

The most time consuming part of EVA fit checks revolve around hand measurements because you want as much dexterity as possible and a poor glove fit will quickly lead to hand arm fatigue, which is dangerous. In fact, they take 16 separate hand measurements to ensure a tight fit

As a rookie I was lucky to be assigned a mission with seasoned astronauts like Peggy Whitson and Fyodor Yurchikhin. The first few days I watched how they cut their food, how they turned the corner, and even how they put on socks without floating into a wall. The environment is so

IM-2 is coming up fast and we're super excited to go back to the Moon! Our lander, Athena, will touch down near the Shackleton Crater, a site we are fairly confident will have water, ice in the soil, so we're bringing a drill. The TRIDENT drill will go down about a meter into the

7 Years ago I was enjoying my last week in zero gravity wonderland. My days of somersaults, mid-air burrito bites, and the best view in the universe were numbered and I was soaking it all in!

I came back from space today in 2017, and re-entry is no easy task. There is roughly a 7 minute loss of signal period when Mission Control has no contact with the spacecraft. This is what it looks like from our POV.

So excited for our MD team & Intuitive Machines as we grow! This sweet new facility will allow us to expand our mechanisms and robotics capabilities while establishing a strategic hub in the DC/MD area!

My last days in space I remember thinking - did I do enough to capture this experience so I can share it when I get home? Can I explain it well enough to light that fire in people and ignite the passion in kids like I had it ignited in me? Sometimes I wish I was a little more
