The @USArmy, DCMA and #USAF set a world record for #sUAS capability at "Game of Drones" 26-2 at Edwards!
The #drone was 3D-printed in 10 minutes and airborne for over eight hours across 300 miles of airspace.

Always a fun day when #USAF TPS alumni return for a visit! 🔸🚀
From test pilot to astronaut, and from Southern California to the Moon! 🚀🌞✨
NASA astronaut Victor Glover returned to familiar ground this week, visiting NASA Armstrong, the U.S. Air Force Test Pilot School, and students at Edwards Air Force Base.
He shared stories from his journey as a U.S. Navy captain, test pilot, and Artemis II astronaut, along with the message he often gives students: be resilient, keep learning, respect the people around you, and remember that you’re not walking your path alone.
The next giant leap begins with people willing to take the first step.
