With @NASA_Orion heading home, we’re focusing on splashdown & recovery. We polled GO yesterday to deploy our recovery assets, and @NASAGroundSys is preparing to secure Orion and tow it into the back of a @USNavy ship after it re-enters Earth's atmosphere. go.nasa.gov/3P3sXcC
ALT NASA's Landing and Recovery Team practices bringing a mock Orion capsule into the well deck of the USS Portland (LPD 27) ahead of the Artemis I Orion splashdown slated for Dec. 11.

Achievement unlocked: Post-launch jellyfish.
Of the 120+ launches I’ve covered, this might have been the most stunning. Go #Crew2!

Beautiful pre-dawn launch of Crew-2 aboard a flight-proven Falcon 9 and Dragon from Cape Canaveral this morning.

As an homage to the two innovative bicycle makers from Dayton, this first of many airfields on other worlds will now be known as Wright Brothers Field, in recognition of the ingenuity and innovation that continue to propel exploration. #MarsHelicopter

Amazing. I thought flying on other planets was only sci-fi. Turns out it’s pure sci, no fi.

Such a happy coincidence that the #pinksocks birthday is April 12th, the anniversary of Yuri Gagarin's flight into space. His words are fitting, especially today
"Looking at the earth from afar you realize it is too small for conflict and just big enough for co-operation."
