From orbit: Launch was awesome!! I am feeling great, working hard, & enjoying the magnificent views, the adventure of a lifetime has begun!

It was a pleasure working with the team at @Cboe Global Markets - a leading global financial exchange operator - to deliver the keynote at Cboe’s 2026 Risk Management Conference in Nashville. The audience comprised of 200 global financial leaders dealing with change and volatility in financial markets - to me that sounds a lot scarier than flying in space! @caaspeakers

I was greatly honored this past weekend to receive the 2026 Common Wealth Award for Public Service in the area of Science. When I saw the list of past winners, I thought they made a mistake, called them, and found out they were serious - it is huge honor. I also enjoyed spending time with fellow honorees actress Jane Seymour and Philadelphia Eagles radio announcer Merrill Reese. Thanks to @PNCBank for making it all possible!

I had a wonderful visit to the Nemours Estate in Wilmington, Delaware this weekend, it was like going back in time to the Gilded Age

The Artemis 2 mission gave us Earthlings not only a new perspective on the moon but also on our beautiful home, Happy Earth Day to all!

It was a mini astronaut reunion last night, my dear friend and Space Shuttle Commander Scott "Scooter" Altman received the George C. Marshall Award in Ethical Leadership. It was great also seeing my colleagues Bob Behnken and Greg "Box" Johnson. Congratulations Scooter on this well deserved recognition.

Fun conversation with @kasie Hunt on @CNN about the Artemis 2 crew’s press conference today - we can all be inspired and learn from their comments

It was so much fun and quite an honor to be part of this illustrious panel on @AC360 with host @andersoncooper last week for the splashdown of Artemis 2 - I hope we get this band of characters together again soon!

A description of the major events leading up to landing of Artemis 2 along with a message from the crew in this clip from my appearance last week on @OutFrontCNN with @ErinBurnett

"Tell the world to keep this energy going, lets invest in togetherness" - a message from Victor Glover, plus: inside the success of Artemis II and what comes next from my latest interview with the @TODAYshow

What to expect during tonight's Artemis reentry was the topic during my interview this morning on the @TODAYshow

Always a good time talking space with @rosannascotto on Good Day New York, today we talked about Artmis, returning to Earth, and Italian food in space

The amazing flyby of the moon and the crew of Artemis II were the topics during my most recent interview with @andersoncooper on @AC360 @CNN

One of the most amazing photographs I have ever seen, GO ARTEMIS 2 !!

Today’s flyby of the moon, what’s next for the Artemis crew, and the significance of their mission were the topics of conversation during my interview on The @TODAYshow this morning. I particularly enjoyed the fist bump with Al Roker at the end of the segment!

Happy Easter to all those celebrating, both on and off the planet

Great banter and the moon's significance in my Astronaut Class Patch during my third interview on the @TODAYshow last week, you can feel the excitement! Go Artemis 2!

What was it like to witness yesterday’s historic launch in person? What is next for the astronauts on their way to the moon? Here are my thoughts from my appearance this morning on the @TODAYshow

I got to check out the latest in moon exploration vehicle technology, I would love to test drive it on the lunar surface!

For real inspiration and hope you must see “Spacewoman” - a documentary about the amazing life of my friend and colleague Eileen Collins - the first woman to pilot the Space Shuttle and the first to command a Space Shuttle mission, she is a true American hero. I enjoyed catching up with Eileen and watching the movie this weekend. It is truly out of this world! @ECollinsSpace
