After sunset this eve,
High in the West,
The crescent Moon you’ll see.
I do not jest.
It graces western Twilight.
But no, it is not alone.
What’s unmistakably bright?
That’s Venus -- you might have known.
I came home from space 4 years ago this week, and if you've ever wondered what it looks like when you travel through this atmosphere -here you go😳

Relative to a Schoolroom Globe…
Planet Mars is a mile away (1.6 km).
The Moon is 30 feet away (10 meters).
The International Space Station orbits 3/8th of an inch (1 cm) above the surface.
Branson & Bezos this month ascend the thickness of two dimes (2 mm) above the surface.
☀ A #sunrise in space is something special. 🌅 I like how it goes from very quiet with beautiful colours to an explosion of energy… #Spacewalk on Wednesday to install new solar panels that will convert even more of that energy! 😎 https://t.co/D6fbNk8xpB #MissionAlpha
🐾 Congratulations to military working dog Jessy on her retirement! 🐾
Two overseas deployments, 38 presidential missions, Fleet Weeks, and standby support for #USNSCOMFORT T-AH 20 during the #COVID-19 pandemic. This dog has certainly earned her stripes. #BravoZulu
Jessy "was presented with a Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal for her six years of outstanding performance and loyalty as a U.S. Navy Military Working Dog and her protection of her 10 handlers while at Naval Air Station Key West."
