In the 1st quarter of 2026, SLD45 supported 22 launches from the #EasternRange, the busiest spaceport on the planet. While others talk about cadence, we deliver it—day in and day out. No shortcuts. No slowdowns. Just results. @USSpaceForce | @USSF_SSC #SpaceCoast #SemperSupra

Yes. This was Jon all over. He was a class act and role model to the core.
The first time I saw a rocket launch was STS-130 with the help of Make-A-Wish. The first astronaut I saw, and one of the first I ever met, was Jon McBride. He was so kind and even gave me his coat in the cold weather. Veteran of STS-41G...RIP Jon Pic: Feb 2010, KSCVC
