Even at my age, it’s important to always keep my dad on his toes. Today I called and told him I duct taped the office breaker to a drywall screw because it won’t stop tripping and I needed to get some work done this morning.

This just popped up in my Facebook memories. My second time at the International Science and Engineering Fair, when I realized I wanted to make science my career. @Society4Science put me on the path to achieve my dreams!

Dose, yes. Preclude flying again, no. I could have walked on the moon, but I’d rather help someone else do it. That’s my truth, not speaking for anyone else.

As announced in Dre’s Artemis III Weekly Update, @dominickmatthew will be the Artemis III Astronaut Support Person (ASP) for Closeout Crew! It was great to have the crew back in the mockup last week for a training session as we welcomed Matt to the team! And I’m incredibly grateful to Dre for taking the time to stop by and transfer his ASP knowledge! instagram.com/reel/DeaMwLrRC…

Margaret Hamilton was a pioneer whose work helped make Apollo and humanity’s first journeys to the Moon possible. The best way to honor her legacy is to finally pick up where her generation left off and never stop going.

We’ve lost an icon. Margaret Hamilton, a computer science pioneer best known for her work at MIT leading development of the flight software for the Apollo missions to the moon, has died at 90. Read about her legacy via MIT News: news.mit.edu/2026/margaret-h…

A huge library of Artemis II data just dropped! Science is a relay race, and today marks the latest in a long series of handoffs. 814 GB of observations. 996 new images. 521 min of never-before-released crew audio. Dig in: go.nasa.gov/Artemis2LunarSci…

The Artemis III crew and @USNavy teams recently practiced hoist operations in San Diego as part of recovery training. Training during the day and at night helps the crew become familiar with the wind, noise, and sea spray they will experience during splashdown and recovery.

We have a meeting with the astronaut who will be the Artemis III ASP (Closeout Crew #2) tomorrow to prepare for our first training event next week. Any guesses who it is 👀
