@Delta the weather at ORF is 300-4 so why in the world would flight 2755 divert to ILM due to weather? I’m throwing a flag on the play.

Congrats to the @SpaceX team for a successful Starship launch. I was on the Florida Space Coast watching it fly by. Soon Starship will be launched from here.

Please join me in celebrating #WomensEqualityDay, the anniversary of women gaining the right to vote in the 🇺🇸US. Sharing one of my favorite photos from #STS83 - I was the backup for that mission, & love this photo from our terminal countdown demonstration test (TCDT) @NASA

@robertgraham Dress down and start asking vendors where you can buy a used MacBook.

I left my MacBook on the plane and it was stolen. I’ve tracked it down to a flea market on south Atlanta. But while I know it’s in the building I don’t know where

@fasc1nate Leland is one of the kindest people I know!

For his official NASA portrait in 2008, astronaut Leland Melvin decided to include his rescue dogs, Jake and Scout, even though dogs weren't usually allowed at the photo shoot. He sneaked them onto the base and into the photo lab using his van. To keep the dogs quiet during his change into the orange "pumpkin suit," Melvin used 100 MilkBones. The memorable photo happened when the dogs excitedly ran towards him, captured by the ready photographer. After the shoot, a security guard questioned the noise, but Melvin joked it was just a "doggy screensaver." They managed to leave without further issues.

The first extraction with System 03 this year: 7029 kg of plastic out of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. We will use this plastic batch for research back on shore - analyzing every single piece for clues such as bite marks, brands, and production dates. (1/4)

NASA is looking for new astronauts and applications close in a couple of weeks. Working for NASA was the highlight of my career. NASA needs qualified applicants. nasa.gov/humans-in-spac…
