One conversation made me realize that the lessons, setbacks, and habits that shaped my journey might help others build their own.
That realization became my book: ‘A Heart for Space: An Astronaut’s Guide to Achieving the Impossible’

I24's Director of Education Lucero "Violet Nebula" Martinez, a J.T. Canales Elementary 5th grade teacher and NASA ambassador, recently collaborated with the ACE program to provide a series of STEM activities to summer school students from Canales, Martin, Skinner and Russell Elementary this summer. 🚀📡🛰️
📷The students were very engaged and excited to learn about today’s activity, "From Apollo to Artemis: Exploring the Moon". From exploring the GIANT moon map, to creating the moon using arts and crafts. Our students had a phenomenal time! 📷📷📷📷 @BrownsvilleISD

The Inspired 24 is excited to announce that we will be holding our 5th Spaceflight Training Class on September 26th & 27th in Houston, TX.
The 2-day class will be held at the Clear Lake City Community Association (CLCCA) facility located near NASA Johnson Space Center and Space Center Houston, JSC’s official visitors center.
Day 1 of the class will involve spacesuit familiarization and practical experience. You will “Don” a suit with the help of your team and test your skills at moving, working and completing tasks in a confined environment.
Day 2 of the class will be all about water egress training. You will learn how to safely egress a parachute harness after entering the water, simulating an emergency egress from your vehicle. Then you and your team will work together in the water while wearing survival suits and ingress your life raft. A definite team building experience.
By the end of the course, participants will have had a thorough introduction to spacesuit operational protocols and spacecraft egress. Participants who successfully complete the I24 Spaceflight Training Class will receive a non-credit certificate of completion from The Inspired 24. The certificate serves as evidence that the participant has completed all requirements for this professional development course.
The 2-day class will cost $1000* for I24 members, $1500* for non-members. (*Does not include hotel, airfare or meals) I24 will be of assistance getting you around Houston from airports to hotels to training facility, etc.
The class size will limited to 6 students for Class #5, but we plan on growing the class to at least 8 for future classes.

Had the privilege to give a keynote for the Torchlight Summit. The weekend consisted of giving biologic samples as part of the follow up to the Space Omics study that looks at changes in biological factors, and specifically gene expression with space flight and other extreme environments. Also caught up with other astronaut colleagues who shared great insight regarding their spaceflight - Sian Proctor @DrSianProctor, Victor Hespana, Rob Ferl, Hayley Arceneaux @ArceneauxHayley , Chris Mason @mason_lab & Chris Sembroski @ChrisSembroski
What are your thoughts on Space Omics?

Meet Tim846, our citizen spotlight of the week from Fairfax Station, Virginia!
As a MoonDAO citizen, Tim acts as a catalyst, a self-described party instigator, and is highly proficient at performing weightless flips. Great to have you in the network!
Honored to give the keynote at the Analog Astronaut Conference!
From joining the first online conference in 2021 → completing the Inclusion 1 Mission at SAM → flying to space → giving this keynote, it’s been an incredible journey.
I spoke about community: how the right people help you thrive and how failures often come when you’re alone.
Weekend highlights:
🔹 Bringing my son to Biosphere 2 🌱
🔹 Visiting my old home - SAM (check out my video on Instagram!)
🔹 Seeing my handwritten bread notes
🔹 Catching up with old friends & colleagues
Last week, eight MoonDAO citizens attended the ribbon cutting for the new Inspiration4 Skills Training Complex at Space Camp USA. Our community raised over $10k to support and sponsor items within the new building, including a multi-axis training chair. This was directly funded by our decentralized launchpad.
We've raised over $170,000 to send the author of the Overview Effect to space. Over the past 30 days we've been actively negotiating with flight carriers across three continents.
Join today's Town Hall in a few hours for a comprehensive community briefing on carrier discussions, options, and next steps for the mission: https://t.co/NVLSFPLNpx
