We returned the flag we took on Polaris Dawn last night, but for those interested, The Explorers Club in NYC is filled with incredible history...the ice axe Sir Edmund Hillary used to conquer Mt. Everest, Napoleon Bonaparte’s original journals (including the Egyptian campaign), the flags flown on the Apollo missions, etc. Exploring the unknown is part of our DNA--its exciting to think about where the flags will go in the years ahead. 🌖🌌

Last night, @rookisaacman and @Gillis_SarahE returned @ExplorersClub Flag #218, which accompanied the Polaris Dawn crew to orbit. It was exposed to the vacuum of space during the mission’s spacewalk and traveled farther from Earth than any crewed mission since humanity last went to the Moon!

@gekaminsky @rookisaacman Go back to space, you signed up for 4 missions. Plenty young enough to run for Congress and likely best post 2028 given all that unfairly unfolded. In the meantime, you've got a great business that values your contributions there and also a strong public following.

@No_FilterHindu @Breaking911 No flaps, no slats, gear down - thus no lift and much drag. Thoughts and condolences to the families.

@Breaking911 Tragic footage shows the moment an Air India Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, with 242 people on board, crashed in Ahmedabad during takeoff for London’s Gatwick Airport. 169 Indian nationals, 53 British nationals, 1 Canadian national, and 7 Portuguese nationals.

@realDonaldTrump Your "tweets" were more impactful when they weren't paragraphs...

Date night with @IsaacmanMonica--I picked the movie. The underwater scenes were next level.
First spoke to @TomCruise from orbit in 2021--he kindly arranged for the @inspiration4x crew to see Top Gun: Maverick when we returned.
Happy to repay Maverick for all his hospitality with a MiG-29 fight.

HOLLLLLLLY SHIT!!!!!
@Eminem just came out to do Lose Yourself with @JellyRoll615 and Ford Field was louder than a Lions 🦁 game
That was unbelievable

@rookisaacman No turn, take-off speed, straight pull and 7 G's??? Sure not Space X stuff :-)

Auto pilot? How about Auto Landing - the new G7+ Cirrus now includes safe return technology, a version of Garmin’s auto land, and the first in a piston engine aircraft.

@4ruz238 @CollinRugg A referral from Elon, I speculate based on prior ties.

@CollinRugg Great pick by President Trump, hope Senate for once will work efficiently and confirm the best person for future advancement of space exploration...
English

NEW: Trump's pick to head NASA Jared Isaacman is set to appear before the Senate for his confirmation hearing on Wednesday.
The billionaire businessman was tapped by Trump to advance his "America First" agenda through space exploration.
Isaacman is currently in talks with lawmakers to send astronauts to the moon, but will not be prioritizing DEI like Biden had hoped.
Under Biden, NASA vowed to "land the first woman, first person of color, and first international partner astronaut on the moon."
Isaacman is known for commanding the first all-civilian spaceflight mission to orbit Earth in 2021.
He also set a world record for the fastest light-jet flight around the world.

@MariaBartiromo @realDonaldTrump @SundayFutures @FoxNews Great work @MariaBartiromo! You had control of this interview and your comments were appropriate and timely. Keeping the POTUS focused is difficult at times, but interviews like your tells me that he gets it. This interview made him look Presidential & you a talented host.

@EdKrassen The Leaders of France, UK and Ukraine were all at the White House last week. Do you not think that some of this is coordinated?
English

BREAKING: UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer just announced a historic move—Britain, France, and Ukraine have united on creating a ceasefire proposal, that they will present directly to the United States.
The world is watching: will Trump choose peace, or will he keep carrying water for Putin, whose forces continue to disgustingly brutalize innocent women and children?
Huge respect to the UK and France for stepping up and standing with heroes, not tyrants.

@KarenSc38678909 @Arizona_GOAT @EricLDaugh @ProfMJCleveland The Hispanic pilots were prior to the Flexjet pilots. No English issue here. Just not paying attention.

🚨 BREAKING: Eric Trump calls on Southwest Airlines to promote the pilots and flight crew seen in this video reacting flawlessly to a plane that intersected their landing on the runway.
Despite Southwest clearly coming in for a landing, another plane crossed the runway - and it would have resulted in a FATAL collision.
But the pilots PULLED UP as soon as it was clear a crash was imminent - they had enough speed going to go right back into the air, unscathed.
I agree with Eric Trump. These pilots and flight crew deserve a raise/promotion. They literally just saved dozens of lives, and the USA from another horrible incident.
Meanwhile, we need to get to the bottom of what Air Traffic Control and/or the pilots of the plane on the ground were doing.

@RonLedfordJrCPA @ShadowofEzra @NTSB Well said. Sad to see these comments without the report. 1500 hours and the ATP test doesn't come easy.
English

@ShadowofEzra Just stop it! Can't you wait until the @NTSB issues its findings? At first, it was because it was an "unmanned flight," and now this crap.
Delta released a statement on aircrew training. BTW, the PIC was male and a veteran. theepochtimes.com/world/delta-re…
English

The pilot behind the dramatic Delta crash that flipped a plane upside down at Toronto Pearson Airport has been identified as 26-year-old First Officer Kendal Swanson.
A Minnesota beauty pageant winner who completed her training just last April with under 1,500 flight hours.
The more experienced captain, James Henneman, was handling communications as Swanson piloted during the crash.
