Remembering Alan Bean who would have been 91 today! An American naval officer and aviator, aeronautical engineer, test pilot, NASA astronaut and the fourth person to walk on the Moon.

J.J. Thomson won the Nobel Prize in physics in 1906 showing that the electron is a particle: ironically, his son, G.P. Thomson, won the Nobel Prize in physics in 1937 showing that it is not (or rather that the electron can also behave as a wave) ow.ly/dUjM50ukZN5

Happy 87th Birthday Ken Mattingly, an American former aviator, aeronautical engineer, test pilot, rear admiral in the United States Navy and astronaut who flew on the Apollo 16, STS-4 and STS-51-C missions.

You might know I carry a “pet rock” in my left front wheel, which tumbled in there over a year ago. But did you know others have joined the journey too? I’ve picked up two additional hitchhikers, in my right front and rear wheels. Fine by me – let’s keep rolling!

Congratulations SpaceX #Starship_launch on making it off the launchpad. A shame about the ‘Rapid Unscheduled Departure’ but space is hard. Test, learn & try again.

RIP Astronaut Frank Borman, who led the first team to circle the moon in December 1968 died Tuesday at age 95. Borman commanded the Apollo mission with crewmates Jim Lovell and Bill Anders. Ad Astra

Happy Birthday Captain Jim Lovell, 96 today! A pilot and retired U.S. astronaut of the Gemini and Apollo space programs, commander of the fated Apollo 13 flight to the Moon in 1970 ... an officer and a true gentleman. Photo credit: Rick Mulheirn

Meanwhile on Mars...

We are saddened by the passing of Jim Lovell, commander of Apollo 13 and a four-time spaceflight veteran. Lovell's life and work inspired millions. His courage under pressure helped forge our path to the Moon and beyond—a journey that continues today. go.nasa.gov/41tbrpq

Went to the Moon twice, flew in space 4 times, commanded Apollo 13 - Jim Lovell has died at 97. A superb, humble and inspiring man. Rest in peace.

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration will greatly miss our friend and colleague, Professor Rainer Weiss, whose immeasurable impact on gravitational-wave astronomy will be felt for generations to come ligo.org/professor-emer… Our thoughts are with Rai's family and friends

Happy Birthday John Dalton September 6 1766

A defining moment of American exploration. The America250 emblem is displayed on the twin solid rocket boosters of the SLS (Space Launch System) rocket for the Artemis II mission around the Moon. Launch is scheduled for early next year.
