Students @TwinCitiesAA get real-world, hands-on aviation experience @mspairport thanks to @Delta @DeltaTechOps @133rdAW and Organization of Black Aerospace Professionals 2018 OBAP Twin Cities ACE Academy. https://t.co/l5VCCDoMxe

Only one chance in this lifetime…

Like watching sunset at the beach from the most foreign seat in the cosmos, I couldn’t resist a cell phone video of Earthset. You can hear the shutter on the Nikon as @Astro_Christina is hammering away on 3-shot brackets and capturing those exceptional Earthset photos through the 400mm lens. @AstroVicGlover was in window 3 watching with @Astro_Jeremy next to him.

I could barely see the Moon through the docking hatch window but the iPhone was the perfect size to catch the view…this is uncropped, uncut with 8x zoom which is quite comparable to the view of the human eye. Enjoy.

An emotional William Shatner, moments after returning from space, tells Blue Origin founder Jeff Bezos about his experience:

"Everybody in the world needs to see this." #NS18

[Dr. Sian “Leo” Proctor @DrSianProctor]

Congratulations to @WilliamShatner & the entire @blueorigin crew! Star Trek was a big part of my life & why I became an astronaut. Knowing that Captain Kirk made it to space warms my heart. I even brought #StarTrek to space with me. So happy for the entire crew.👩🏾‍🚀🚀#Space2inspire

When he’s not teaching #aviation & drone operations to students at two different schools, Mike Johnson serves as the Minnesota Wing Diversity Officer for the @CivilAirPatrol & the Assistant Program Director for the @OBAPEXCELLENCE Twin City Ace Academy. #BlackHistoryMonth2021

Johnson spends one day each week teaching middle school students how to fly & race #drones at their school. “I know that many kids don’t have a way to get to the airport,” he said. #aviation #BHM #UAS

Great hope and great pain. Hopeful for a successful @NASA launch while the city is burning outside. The world will be a better place when we all can live like astronauts, like crew members living and working together on spaceship earth. #NASASocial #riots2020 #LaunchAmerica

[Michael Johnson @michaelj8]

Astronauts on board. This IS awesome! #LaunchAmerica

[Michael Johnson @michaelj8]

Did you notice the Space Force logo on the lunch weather forecasts? #LaunchAmerica

[United States Space Force @USSpaceForce]

Here’s a great summary of how the #USSF’s @45thSpaceWing Det. 3 is contributing to today’s @SpaceX Crew Dragon launch & the safety of @NASA’s @AstroBehnken & @Astro_Doug. #LaunchAmerica @usairforce @USMC

This is going to be awesome! 🚀 #NASASocial #LaunchAmerica

As it turns out, #UltimaThule is actually a spaceship from the future. Using the Alcubierre warp drive is not quite the shortcut to Mars that was anticipated. Images confirm the highly unusual location of the spacecraft, that was thought to be #KBO 2014 MU69. #TheMarsGeneration

[Michael Johnson @michaelj8]

Keep reaching for the stars! Happy #FlightSuitFriday #STEMeducation #TheMarsGeneration

@Kohls This was for an online purchase. Some items were not available to ship, so double authorization holds for shipped items. Unfortunately, neither authorization hold or pending charge are valid forms of payment for #BlackFriday shopping. Feels like robbery, like a stolen wallet.

[Michael Johnson @michaelj8]

Double charged on https://t.co/e90JVby7fI order. Got in contact with @Kohls customer service, on the phone for over 1 hour on #Thanksgiving. Adrian Gonzalez from Dominican Republic says there is nobody who can return my wife’s $139.48 for #BlackFriday shopping. 😢
