One of my favorite quotes is by George Bernard Shaw: 'Some men see things as they are and say why? I dream things that never were and say, why not?' Think about it - someone reading this could create the next fundamental shift in how we create and harness power, or learn the…

Unlike humans, Nova-C class lunar landers require more than one spine to provide a sturdy core structure. How many spines can you spot in this photo?

I was just getting my 'space legs' around this time on Expedition 51, and similar to getting your 'sea legs,' there is an adjustment period. My issue was less nausea and more bull in a china shop. Lots of bumps and bruises those first few days.

Let's celebrate with a from Odie. Our Blue Marble's precious water holds the keys to life, and our IM-2 mission will search for water ice on our nearest neighbor, the Moon.

I can't believe it's been almost 7 years since I first launched into space. No matter how much training you have, it just can't prepare you for how awesome space is. Everything is different and you have to approach it that way, it's almost like your mind works in three dimensions…

You often hear space is a team sport, but it might just be the ULTIMATE team sport! It takes hundreds, even thousands of people to safely get an astronaut to space or a lander to the Moon. The saying is true, space is hard, but like dad always said, 'if you love what you do you…

During Expedition 51 I worked on an experiment from Centaurus High School students and being an alumni myself, it was a really special moment for me. I wanted the kids to understand that if they work hard, they can be anything they want to be. And I think it helps to see someone…

Between the trajectory and the number of orbits around the Moon, Odysseus traveled the equivalent of two and a half times the distance to the lunar surface, a total of around 600,000 miles. We expect our IM-2 mission to travel approximately the same distance.

The #1 question I'm asked (besides the bathroom) is how to become an astronaut. I would say it's a trifecta of luck, determination, and hard work. Growing up in the family construction business taught me about hard work from an early age and is something that has stayed with me…
