.@politico sat down with me this week to get my thoughts on last week's launch.

"Antonio Peronace, the group’s executive director, argued that such trips hold value because they increase spacefaring individuals’ appreciation for the Earth..." https://t.co/q5fd2GJMsD

"One small step..." 55 yrs ago today changed the world. Humankind looked to the sky as one w/pride. That's the work we strive for everyday at @SpaceHumanity. Like, follow, and donate to join our mission to unify our species once again. #adastra #Apollo #NASA #space #2space4earth

"Earthrise." Taken by Bill Anders during Apollo 8, it changed the way we saw space, our planet, and each other. Yesterday, Bill Anders died at 90. His legacy will live on forever.

Lucky to have a world-class star drop in our @SpaceHumanity meeting to tell us how supportive he is of our mission. TY, Johnny Galecki for sharing our vision for democraticizing access to #space. We're excited to collaborate and shape humankind's future together. #bigbangtheory

So proud of and excited for @spacehumanity Vision Circle member, Mason Angel. Your passion has always been evident, but after @blueorigin's historic #NS25, I know that we're going to keep changing the world for the better. Ad astra, my friend! #2space4earth #theovervieweffect

[Antonio Peronace @aperonace]

It's an absolute honor for @SpaceHumanity to have played a part in Ed Dwight's historic journey. Ed is an inspiration for all. His @blueorigin call sign for #NS25 was "Justice." That's appropriate because now... justice has truly been served. #space #adastra #blueorigin #NASA

[Antonio Peronace @aperonace]

No words to describe this incredible, historic day. Well done, @blueorigin and @SpaceHumanity. Justice is served, Ed Dwight. Ad astra.

[Antonio Peronace @aperonace]

Incredible experience getting a BTS look at the #Spaceforce #Museum and visiting historic sites from America's #space #history. Sitting at Wernher von Braun's desk and standing on Alan Shepard's launchpad was unbelievable. TY @AriEisenstat & Sean Graham. #adastra #NASA

[Antonio Peronace @aperonace]

OMW to Texas to see this historic launch!

[Blue Origin @blueorigin]

Meet Ed Dwight, a former United States Air Force Captain who was selected by President John F. Kennedy in 1961 as the nation’s first Black astronaut candidate. Watch to learn more about Ed Dwight’s incredible life story. #NS25

[Antonio Peronace @aperonace]

So proud to announce that @SpaceHumanity is helping launch Ed Dwight into space this Sunday on board a @blueorigin New Shepard rocket! If you haven't seen "The Space Race" on @DisneyPlus, do so! Ed's story is incredible.
