On May 4th, @Exophilia_Rose dropped a batch of #StarWars themed jewelry in addition to the key chains, pins, and phone grips. Have a look around her shop! The beautiful, inexpensive pieces are all handmade. #ShopLocal exophilia.com/galaxy-far-far…

The scene in our popular production #Flight where we pay tribute to the #Apollo Program, and of course #Apollo11. So sad about the loss of @AstroMCollins today. Always had a wonderful chat with him at @Spacefest @Novaspaceart #RIP

In a different universe: Cocktails with Mike Collins, Mark Larson, myself and Chris Calle at @Spacefest one joyous evening near Tucson. Sad day.

Kelsey Poor of #Novaspace and @Spacefest will be one of the Backstage Ambassador's for the virtual Global @YurisNight space party tonight! You should join us - just look at the guest list! 🙌
This year we have an amazing group of #YurisNight ambassadors. They're explorers, artists, authors, and more! The way to get a chance to meet them and hear their story is to get a $15 backstage pass and show up at 3pm PT / 6pm ET before the show! More at yur.is/2021

Flashback to 2012 and having lunch with Apollo 17’s Gene Cernan. Fred Haise from Apollo 13 is at the table behind us. I remember feeling totally overwhelmed! ⁦@Spacefest⁩

Well, I did challenge myself to paint with rocket soot a couple years ago and showed the series at @Spacefest. Carbon capture in abstract painting form. That’s kind of a technology, right? 😉 Happy to capture soot for you ANY time!

Sunrise as seen in orbit on Gemini 7 in 1965. I *love* that you get a little sliver of the spacecraft in there! Ugh, Gemini. How I love NASA's overlooked middle child! 💖

Repost from @Vice: Scientists have announced the most unambiguous evidence of water on the Moon so far and concluded that lunar water ice “may be more widely distributed and accessible as a resource for future missions than previously thought,” according to Nature Astronomy.⁠
