I am so blessed to have had the opportunity to see the @NatSymphonyDC last night. Other than literally flying with @TomCruise himself, it has the be the greatest @TopGunMovie experience possible. I hope they find a way to expand the event.

@krispykreme 29 with the clover sprinkles? Sadly, we tried for the bonus and loaded up the family in green and waited in the long line. However, they were out of the free donuts, only donuts for purchase remained. 😔

Moving to Alabama is one of the greatest decisions I have ever made. There are great jobs, great people and a great place to raise a family. Huntsville is consistently ranked one the best cities to live, and the highest advanced college degrees per capita in the country. We also have direct flights to NYC now. I appreciate moving across the country is a difficult decision, not for everyone, and transitions are challenging, but there are opportunities as well.

@AdamGrendys Nice work 🚀

@lrocket The failure to do a simple calculation; I can’t comment on the “other activities.” 🤣

[John Dankanich @NASATechChief]

@lrocket This is sadly more common that one would expect, from multiple companies, and otherwise reputable sources too.

@BoilerInTexas @3bradensmith casually chatting with my daughter after beating Tennessee to advance to the final four is one of my favorite memories. @BoilerBall recruits not just talent, but great people.

@PopCrave This is almost all my friends and coworkers. Whether they went themselves or not, they said it was worth the dream. 😊🚀👨‍🚀. I hope everyone continues to look up with wonder and also one day it becomes more accessible.

@_yossi_ @joebarnard @anu_bonth Nitrous oxide fuel blend… they do have their perks, but scare the safety people.

[John Dankanich @NASATechChief]

@joebarnard @anu_bonth For entry level, I find solids the easiest. Hybrids are entertaining and nitrous is fun if you follow safety lessons. Liquid / liquid is the most satisfying.

@LucidUnity0 And dads need to raise their daughters right.

@cb_doge Those are remarkable pieces of art that captures a historic milestone for humanity in absolute beauty. However, it has tough competition for greatest in history.

@maxhaot You had me at “valves”

@HammerAndRails My son (11) also has 3! He asked to check a bag just so he could get them home and keep forever 🤣. He said it’s March Madness, not March Rational Decisions and the best team always wins.
