Dad, space & remote sensing nerd, sci-fi geek, crew for @HERA_XI analog mission, PhD student, and recently an aquanaut. He/him. Mostly Harmless.

Three years ago today, I started a thirty day analog mission with three new friends supporting physiological and psychological research for human spaceflight: @HERA_XI. Each day had a wake up song, most had a movie, and every day had a unique observation. Let's review!

Awesome day of outreach with astronauts & aquanauts, conservation work in the lagoon, science, outreach and of course fun with the team on the #NEP2NE mission! Fun fact: we have challenge coins & patches with our names on it, and there are Easter eggs in both! 🌊🌊🌊

Announcing NEP2NE, a follow-up to our 2019 NEPTUNE aquanaut mission at @JulesLodge May 14-9. Myself @DougACampbell @SciKyle & Paul Bakken will joing Commander @drdeepsea as he crosses into world record-breaking territory. Can't wait! Media inquiries? Email [email protected] 🌊👩🏽‍🚀

JETT3 was the final test in the @NASAArtemis JETT test plan series for 2022, which is a fully integrated mission scale test to ensure successful operations for Artemis III. JETT was led out of @NASA_Johnson where flight control teams supported the astronauts.

Earth is growing larger in views from NASA's Orion spacecraft as it races toward re-entry and splashdown in the Pacific Ocean to wrap up the 25-day Artemis 1 test flight to the moon.

Splashdown west of Baja California is set for 12:39pm EST (1739 GMT).

We've completed our return powered flyby burn and are heading home!

@Rose_D_Luna Thanks!

@Rose_D_Luna Whatever happens, I wish you the best!

A composite image from this morning's eclipse showing the moon in various stages throughout the night. The size and shape of Earth's shadow is clearly visible here. These events are absolutely magical to witness and quite surreal.

Antares is ready! 🚀 We’re just 10 mins away from the launch of the Antares vehicle carrying the Cygnus spacecraft full of supplies to the @Space_Station. Launch time is now 5:32 am ET.

For those in the mid-Atlantic region, you may catch a glimpse of the rocket across the sky.

For those in the mid-Atlantic region, weather permitting, you may see the rocket the sky. Learn more on how you can watch: https://t.co/6XWEFeH996

If you leave Twitter, I recommmend you DO NOT delete your account.

All old tweets @ mentioning you will still exist and if someone grabs that now available username then all tweets @ referencing that username now point to them.

Be kind. Stay steady. Help someone. Check in on an old friend. Listen to your favorite music. Have a good weekend.

I think it's fair to say that NASA's #DART mission was a...smashing...success. When the spacecraft slammed into Dimorphos, it only needed to change the asteroid's orbit by 73 seconds. Instead, it slowed the little space rock by a whopping 32 minutes. https://t.co/aoCz1mpE6D

On this day in 1951, Henrietta Lacks died.

Her cells were taken without her knowledge in 1951 (HeLa cells) and became one of the most important tools in medicine. They became vital for developing the polio vaccine, cloning, gene mapping, in vitro fertilization & more.

So, @TheOnion filed an amicus brief before the Supreme Court in defense of parody under the First Amendment… and it’s exactly what you’d expect. https://t.co/1JFfSqUJFA

NASA and SpaceX have signed a space act agreement for a commercial mission to boost the Hubble Space Telescope. This will extend the lifetime of the telescope, and preclude emerging concerns about the need for costly end-of-life disposal.

ATLAS observations of the DART spacecraft impact at Didymos!
