Today scratched off another part of my Bucket List!! (164 to go!!). I flew the Extra 300L Aerobatic plane and did stunts in the sky with smoke!!

This was an insane experience and I am so high on life right now!

[NASA Spox @NASASpox]

The team behind “Project Hail Mary” visited @NASAJPL to talk about their experience making the movie and the impacts of science storytelling. During filming, NASA’s @astro_kjell shared insights with actor Ryan Gosling on the realities of human spaceflight and microgravity.

Today, we are are celebrating and honoring our JPL Veterans 🇺🇸

[ARCHIVED - NASA Europa Clipper @EuropaClipper]

Time flies, and soon our spacecraft will too.⏱🛰 Just two years and counting until our planned launch window opens to explore Jupiter's ocean moon Europa. https://t.co/rORF6MYHjc

[ATLAS Project @fallingstarIfA]

ATLAS observations of the DART spacecraft impact at Didymos!

Meet Kevin L.R. Horton, Flight Software Engineer. Inspired by the stars since childhood to sharing space facts with his commanding officer, Kevin made it his mission to work in the space sector. https://t.co/oviR4EHqDN

[NASA Ames @NASAAmes]

Now that we’ve assembled a full-scale model of our VIPER Moon rover, we can tweak the build process to reduce risks and stay on schedule when @NASAArtemis missions begin.

Mission project manager Dan Andrews explains how: https://t.co/aFrA1g0hJt

[SpaceX @SpaceX]

Splashdown! Welcome back to planet Earth, @Inspiration4x!

[Thomas Zurbuchen @Dr_ThomasZ]

VERITAS will visit Venus to map the planet’s geologic history revealing the inner workings of this brutal world: https://t.co/Yofbg1tDot

[Thomas Zurbuchen @Dr_ThomasZ]

DAVINCI+ will analyze Venus’ thick, crushing atmosphere to understand how it formed and evolved and determine whether Venus ever had an ocean: https://t.co/Yofbg1tDot

[ARCHIVED - NASA Europa Clipper @EuropaClipper]

Here, @NASAGoddard engineers can be seen checking out our spacecraft's propulsion module. Standing 10 feet (3 meters) tall, the propulsion module core – built by @JHUAPL – will propel Europa Clipper after it leaves Earth’s atmosphere https://t.co/rORF6MYHjc #JourneyToAnOceanWorld

Beautiful night out tonight

[Ginny the Mars Helicopter @GinnyHelicopter]

Do you think all of this is going to go to my head?

[NASA JPL @NASAJPL]

Perseverance got us to Mars. With Ingenuity, we soar higher.

The #MarsHelicopter made history today by being the first craft to achieve controlled, powered flight on a planet beyond Earth.

[NASA @NASA]

"Wow!"

The @NASAJPL team is all cheers as they receive video data from the @NASAPersevere rover of the Ingenuity #MarsHelicopter flight:

[NASA Solar System @NASASolarSystem]

A spacecraft’s journey doesn’t begin on the launchpad. Our #MissionToPsyche will explore an asteroid, but first we have to finish building it. Psyche has arrived at @NASAJPL, where it will undergo final assembly and checkouts before its launch next year. https://t.co/B7RKSgLpvk

[ARCHIVED - NASA's Perseverance Mars Rover @NASAPersevere]

Your front-row seat to my Mars landing is here. Watch how we did it.

#CountdownToMars

[Thomas Zurbuchen @Dr_ThomasZ]

You've never seen a @NASAMars landing like this!

This is REAL footage captured by cameras on @NASAPersevere rover's entry, descent & landing suite. By turning sci-fi into reality, the team is inspiring millions with incredible visuals from another world. #CountdownToMars

[Diana Trujillo @FromCaliToMars]

What better way to relax after landing @NASAPersevere on Mars?!? Matt Damon, we are coming for you! #JuntosPerseveramos

[ARCHIVED - NASA's Perseverance Mars Rover @NASAPersevere]

I love rocks. Look at these right next to my wheel. Are they volcanic or sedimentary? What story do they tell? Can’t wait to find out.
