This certainly gets me into the holiday spirit – a new picture of the “Christmas Tree Cluster,” which is technically NGC 2264, a cluster of young stars. I hope you’re all enjoying this festive season and looking forward to Christmas!

120 years ago this week, Orville and Wilbur Wright made history at Kitty Hawk with the first powered, controlled airplane flight. Needless to say, the world changed forever with those first short – but paradigm changing – flights. I’ve been involved in aviation, aeronautics and…

NASA’s Perseverance Mars Rover is ending the year on a great note – completing its 1,000 Martian day threshold! Congratulations are in order for the NASA JPL team and @NASA for their outstanding work on this program. It’s amazing to think that in my lifetime, we’ve gone from…

Today marks the birthday of General James Doolittle. You all know of his daring B-25 mission over Japan in 1942, but he was an aviation pioneer long before that as well as a Medal of Honor recipient for the Doolittle Raid. Interesting connection here – the Doolittle Raid launched…

I thought this was amusing – a tomato that was lost during an experiment aboard the International Space Station has been found by the new crew. In all fairness, it was a dwarf tomato, so fairly small and probably hard to find – and trust me, I’ve had my issues with food in low gravity…

Well, it’s that time of year again – the legendary ARMY-NAVY GAME! There’s a little history with me here. On Gemini 12, I took this banner on a spacewalk, which occurred during the game that year. Who says astronauts can’t have fun? So whether you’re GO NAVY-BEAT ARMY or GO…

December 7th is a day that I always take time to recognize – as it is a defining date for America, and by extension, the world. The attacks on Pearl catapulted America into WWII, which in many ways, made us the nation we are today. The lives lost on that sunny Pacific Sunday…

A noteworthy event … NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration and ESA - European Space Agency have discovered six planets all moving in synch together 100 light years away (but still within the Milky Way). The vastness and complexities of space still astonish me. Be…

December’s forecast for many of you is frigid and dark…but it’s also a GREAT month for some star-gazing if you can brave those crisp and frosty temps! Meteor shower peaks, galactic views on the solstice, nebulas and other astronomical phenomena! December certainly brings us a…

I always chuckle when I walk by this “GI Buzz”. I hope all of you are finding unique toys for the children on your Christmas list.

It’s hard to believe that the International Space Station has been in operation for 25 years already – time certainly flies! The International Space Station is quite the technological achievement and a testament to the vision and capability of humankind. It has also been a great laboratory…

How many of you remember the flight of the Pole Cat? In November of 1965, one of the only pole-to-pole flights in history was flown by a crew of five pilots, three navigators and three flight engineers in a Boeing 707 to circle the Earth from top-to-bottom, 26,230 miles in almost…
