On this day in 1965, Joe Engle flew to an altitude of 50 miles in the North American X-15. Engle flew the X-15 higher than 50 miles three times, officially qualifying him for Air Force astronaut wings.

Proud to have been a link in the chain with my crewmates.

Mexican President Sheinbaum fires back at Trump in a statement: "Seventy percent of the illegal weapons seized from criminals in Mexico come from your country. We do not produce these weapons, nor do we consume synthetic drugs. Tragically, it is in our country that lives are lost

Elon Musk Elon, I have long admired you and what you have accomplished, especially at SpaceX and Tesla. You know as well as I do, that Butch and Suni are returning with Crew-9, as has been the plan since last September. Even now, you are not sending up a rescue ship to bring them home.

Thank you General CQ Brown, Jr. for your selfless service to our great nation. You are a true leader and true American hero.

If Elon Musk truly wants to understand what federal workers accomplished over the past week, he should get to know each department and agency, and learn about the jobs he's trying to cut. Our public servants work hard to ensure that our national security is protected; that

Resignation letter of Peter Marks from FDA’s director for the center for biological evaluation and research

"Pale Blue Dot" - Carl Sagan

Thrilled to receive our astronaut wings from SpaceX. Though it wasn’t a competition, I have to admit that I felt a bit nervous watching Sarah Gillis play the violin in space—As our precedent mission, Polaris Dawn has set such an incredible standard—brilliantly planned and

“No government—regardless of which party is in power—should dictate what private universities can teach, whom they can admit and hire, and which areas of study and inquiry they can pursue.” - President Alan Garber hrvd.me/GarberRespond3…

The federal government doesn’t ‘give’ money to Harvard. The $2.2 billion in frozen payments isn’t for Harvard sophomores’ tuition or library books. The US government is buying services from Harvard: scientific & medical research & development. These aren’t ‘woke donations.’

The end of an era. A little while ago, we closed the hatch after saying goodbye to our International Space Station crewmates, the Soyuz 72S crew of Alexey Ovchinin, Ivan Vagner, and @astro_pettit. Just minutes ago, they detached from station and departed on their orbital journey back to

DOGE eliminated more than 280,000 federal jobs in February and March. In the second part of my conversation with author Michael Lewis, he told me what the Trump administration gets wrong about federal workers.
