(3/3) Of course I couldn't sleep after that, so I immediately reviewed data for several hours... that showed my new software subsystem working in space for the first time!

The onboard video wasn't too shabby either 🤩

(1/n) My first space launch in person! Incredible to see: ascent, boost back, reentry (felt like it was right above our heads!), and landing (man it was falling fast at the start of the burn)!

Eight years ago today, SpaceX successfully landed an orbital class rocket for the first time. Since that time, SpaceX has landed Falcon rockets more than 250 times and counting

(2/n) So glad I didn't injure myself sprinting down the bleachers, screaming like a banshee, bear-hugging my Cape software colleagues, and high-fiving the NASA Public Affairs guy.

Then it was time to drive back while swapping stories on the phone from my friends back in LA...!

@JennyOnConsole Nice work with the cameras yesterday! Your calls on flight loop were crisp and clear.

The point of modern propaganda isn't only to misinform or push an agenda. It is to exhaust your critical thinking, to annihilate truth.

@susanbellfilm @CPAviation Congratulations! In the eyes of ATC, you're a big kid now. ;) Plus, being able to fly somewhere in IMC is neat.

@smartereveryday @astVintageSpace That looks like one of the Skylabs. Maybe it's heading to NASM in this photo?

Remember that haters are gonna hate. Haters that have no idea who you are, what you've gone through in life, or your reasons for using Linux

[Jim @linuxbeast]

@susanbellfilm Oh wait, VNY is towered. Nevermind... :)

Well now you know what my IR training was like ;)
