Love taking my kiddo to the airshow, just like my dad did with me! Watching the #blueangels never, ever gets old.
Yesterday we enjoyed a concert from the Great Lakes Navy Band here Space Center Houston. They're celebrating Houston Navy Week and honored all our Navy Astronauts during their performance, including USMC Colonel Nicole Mann and USN Captain Josh Cassada who are onboard International Space Station!
We’re celebrating 2022 #WorldSpaceWeek by highlighting space and sustainability! 🌱
The International Space Station carries exterior payloads that obtain climate-related data from station’s unique vantage point, helping both scientists and farmers alike. go.nasa.gov/3vDCuyk
As a NASA Astronaut, I’m delighted to have the opportunity to support Space Center Houston as their new Chief Science Officer, connecting the public with the excitement of space exploration! #WeAreGoing
This is fascinating! A comprehensive explanation of a feature I could see from International Space Station, but did not fully understand.
The Space Shuttle Motion Base Simulator is back! Thanks to Bonnie J. Dunbar and restoration team for bringing it to Lone Star Flight Museum for preservation & display. Who’s ready for some Ascent/Entry runs? I’ll bring the Flight Data File!
Just watched Return to Space documentary, it brought back all the feels! During pandemic we didn’t really get to celebrate the historic achievement of Demo-2 with Bob Behnken Col. Doug Hurley SpaceX NASA so I’m glad to see this story told.
During Expedition 65, we recorded the sounds of our daily life onboard International Space Station for NASA's Curious Universe. Listening to the podcast really takes me back! Congrats to the team for your Webby Award nomination! See all the NASA nominees here go.nasa.gov/3NRKSBX.
Thank you to the faculty, staff, and especially students of my alma mater UCLA Samueli Engineering for a wonderful visit last week. I loved seeing the campus up close, visiting with old friends, and making new ones!
