Advocacy Action Center The Planetary Society is organizing a new space constituency that is educated, empowered, and loud.

I happily signed this petition. I ask that you consider doing so as well.

Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine.
Et lux perpetua luceat eis.

Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord.
And let perpetual light shine upon them.

He tried to share the true message of Christ in a world too determined to ignore it.

Rest in Peace Holy Father.

Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.

If you had told me as a kid growing up in Connecticut that any of these dreams would come true, I never would have believed you.

Sad to awake to the news about the deaths of Gene Hackman, his wife Betsy Arakawa and their dog yesterday.

With over 100 credits no doubt you’ll have a favorite(s).

It should come as no surprise that for me it’s his potrayal as astronaut Buzz Lloyd in the 1969 movie β€œMarooned.”

Rest in Peace

Friends will recognize most of these.

NASA selected Boeing and SpaceX to develop and certify commercial crew vehicles in September 2014. The goal was to have US redundancy.
Crew Nine is the first real world example of the wisdom of that decision. This patch is a celebration of Commercial Crew.

This is a recreation of a simple plaque I made that hung in the AMF CSE

The caption reads:
"Dick, Mike, El, Judy, Ron, Greg and Christa:
You've touched the future. A teacher taught from space and your assignment has been completed.
The Dream is Alive and the mission continues.
Rest in Peace.

…We will never forget them, nor the last time we saw them, this morning, as they prepared for their journey and waved goodbye and "slipped the surly bonds of earth" to "touch the face of God."

In the fall of 1985, I wrote to every woman astronaut asking for contributions for scrapbooks I was creating for my niece and daughter.

OTD in 1986 Judy Resnik wrote this note for my niece. Ten days after writing it she was killed aboard Challenger.

I’ll never forget her kindness.

EVERY social media app can be weaponized. Tik Tok is no more dangerous than FB, IG, Threads, X or Blue Sky.

Since 2016 I have had the pleasure to create the official emblem for Space Congress. I have enjoyed seeing the event grow each year.
I’ll be in Orlando January 28-30 and I hope to see you there as well.

OTD 47 years ago a new breed of NASA Astronauts was announced.

The first of them flew in 1983 and the last (Steve Hawley) flew in 1999.

I’m grateful to say some became friends and all of them generously provided inspiration.
