🥳🎂 Please join me in extending warm 91st birthday wishes to @NASA #astronaut David R. Scott, the 7th person to walk on the #Moon, and the first person to drive there! Prior to commanding #Apollo15, he flew on #Gemini8 and #Apollo9. Here's to many more amazing orbits! 💫

Welcoming #Unity22 to space -- and home again. No matter where you go -- there you are! A simple diagram doesn't do justice to the hard work on the part of the @virgingalactic team and #VirginFamily that it took to make today happen. Congratulations -- and welcome home!

My answer to Does NASA give each astronaut poison pills in case they are captured by alien or contaminated by alien life forms? If governments give spies such protection, wouldn't it make sense for astronauts to also carry these around? quora.com/Does-NASA-give-eac…

Ten years ago today, I launched on my fourth and final mission to space. It was a heck of a ride, and I’ll always be grateful for the amazing people at NASA who supported me along the way.

The little rotorcraft that could.🚁💨 Ingenuity documented its historic ascent today. Here's the #MarsHelicopter's POV during first flight. That's its shadow on the ground below.

Today in 1972, Apollo 16 lunar module "Orion" landed on the Moon in the Descartes Highlands. Astronauts John Young (seen here) and Charles Duke were on the Lunar surface for 71 hours and two minutes, while TK Mattingly circled the Moon in the command module "Casper."

When you’re aboard the shuttle and bad stuff happens, you have to work the problem as a team. We didn't dismiss ideas based on who offered them. When the life of the crew and the success of the mission depend on it, leadership is finding a way forward, together.
