#OTD 16 years ago 4 little Apollo 11 Moon rocks were delivered to my house thanks to @BNjacobs. I took them to Nepal. @AstroDocScott took them to the summit of Mt. Everest. They now reside above the sky with a piece of Everest inside the @Space_Station cupola. (Exploration)^2 #AdAstra #AdLunam FYI @MilesObrien@minwadhwa@waynehale
You really need to meet my friend @JonnyKimUSA - a humble, resilient, highly intelligent American hero... and likely The Most Interesting Man in the World. #NavySEAL, #physician, helicopter #pilot and now an #astronaut aboard the #ISS. Stay thirsty my friends! https://t.co/qu3uxQZKr8
Very excited to share our AMAZING lineup of guest speakers for this Spring’s PUBLIC SCIENCE COMMUNICATION seminar! Open to @RiceUniversity undergraduate and graduate students of all majors! #scicomm
Tomorrow I go in for colon cancer surgery. 15 years ago, I also had colon cancer. It's back & this time the mass is bigger & in a difficult area. My dad had cc, my mom had cc, my uncles had cc. May we suspect genetic? A reminder to all to get a colonoscopy if you're at all in a danger zone. I prob waited a little too long for mine this time. I am in a good place mentally, CT scans are otherwise clear, & I am confident in my surgeon and my God who has seen me through a lot. incl the #RocketBoys, @VTEngineering school & @VTCorpsofCadets, Vietnam War, decom sickness, @NASA career, prodigious writing career, etc all told in my latest memoir. I've had a good life & I am not afraid. I will be back, God willing, and if not, please be proud of who you, stand up for what you believe, keep your families together, and trust in God but rely on yourselves. Love to all & peace. https://t.co/YxZsWglP9n

Epic but beautiful sufferfest crossing the Grand Canyon today with @minwadhwa - starting well before daybreak, and with 97 degF temps along the Colorado River. At least I got my step count in today!
Seven years ago this very day we almost lost magnificent @minwadhwa while conducting field research in Iceland. Seize every day, and never give up! #AliveAndKickingDay
