Arrived today. My 5xGrandfather's British Naval Rocket Brigade patch. Flown in Space during @PolarisProgram's #PolarisDawn Sept. 10-15, 2024 to over 1,400 km & 75 orbits. Exposed to open Space during the World's first non-govt EVA. Thank you @rookisaacman & Casey Phillips!

Yesterday, I joined Pastor Chris Johnson and hundreds of volunteers in Lancaster for TeamUp’s Love Your City cleanup!
Over 300 volunteers joined with city staff to help make one neighborhood cleaner and more beautiful.
Days like yesterday show that we all have the power to create positive change, and help us connect with our neighbors.
Thank you to everyone who gave their time to make a difference in the Antelope Valley!

Roll out solar arrays will be installed during next week's spacewalk. You can see two of them folded and ready to be installed and you can also see how they look when they are installed (look in front of the big ones - the new ones are smaller and slightly tilted).

Racism is endemic in American society and culture. The President is a bigoted psychopath.

Hard to beat a Saturday like this. From the cockpit to the field at Bryant-Denny with @SecRollins, the energy was incredible!
Thank you, @UofAlabama, for welcoming our team and bringing that Crimson Tide pride to America’s next great chapter in space. Roll Tide!

On #TDIH in 2014, stratospheric explorer Alan Eustace set a new world record when he jumped from an altitude of over 135,000 feet, surpassing the previously-held record by Felix Baumgartner. The balloon equipment module and suit he wore are on display at our Udvar-Hazy Center.
