This is Mars exploration like I’ve dreamed of for 20+ years: a fast, affordable, inspiring mission paving the way for 👩‍🚀🧑🏿‍🚀👨‍🚀. Ingenuity showed this could happen very soon, without breaking the bank. Thrilled to work w/ brilliant @aerovironment MacCready Works & @NASAJPL teams!
AV@aerovironment

We made history with Ingenuity, the first powered flight on another planet. Now, we’re ready to do it again. Introducing Skyfall: a potential future Mars mission concept developed with @NASAJPL for next-gen Mars Helicopters to help explore resources, scout potential landing sites, and pave the way for America’s first Martian astronauts.

I just heard that Mike Melville, who flew SpaceShipOne, has passed. First commercial human spaceflight program. I took this photo of Mike after his XPrize flight, being greeted by his son in 2004. Very sad to hear this.

@Stuck4ger I drove halfway across the country with Carroll…snuck onto the airfield and slept in the back of an unlocked Huey in a hangar…to watch his first flight above the Kármán line in 2004. Godspeed, Mike. A true hero.

So sad to hear of the passing of Mike Melville, SpaceShipOne test pilot, commercial astronaut #1, and all around great human. He checked me out in the Proteus.

“Why go to the space when we have other problems here at home?” A tale as old as time… #1: we can do them BOTH #2: national security, science and discovery, potential lunar economy, inspiration

A team in action. 🌟 Flight controllers at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas, continuously staff the International @Space_Station Flight Control Room, monitoring all systems aboard the orbiting laboratory. Today, they're also monitoring two astronauts outside the hatch -- @Astro_Jessica and @Astro_ChrisW -- as they conduct a spacewalk.

Watching live helmet cam footage from spacewalks is just incredible. And really brings home that Ender Wiggin “the enemy gate is down” sense of the utility of being able to quickly reset your internal mental axis of orientation

Well maybe if I end up having to stay in Houston I can find something to do there. Anyone know anything space related in Houston? 😜

Looking at the plane sitting at the gate ready to go, but a half hour delay just got added because ATC isn’t able to handle the current rate of departures. At least it’s not delayed by 3-4 hours like others to the same destination.

@SciGuySpace @mastenspace Ok, I was reminded that there was another contender for coolest flight I've attended -- the Xombie in-air relight flight in May of 2010 (my last flight before leaving to start Altius). This was the one that convinced SpaceX to pivot to powered landing: youtube.com/watch?v=H2Yt5L…

They call it asymmetric warfare: Iran uses cheap, low-tech drones across the Persian Gulf, while the U.S. tries to shoot them down with interceptors that cost millions. Could this weapon be the answer? 60 Minutes reports, tonight. 60Minutes.com
