Reaching for the Stars Foundation hosts the annnual Science Blast for 1,000+ 5th graders from Stockton, Lodi & Tracy at University of the Pacific (@UOPacific). Why? Because it was in 5th grade when I watched Apollo 17 Moon Landing & told myself: This is where I belong! #DreamBIG

Spent the weekend at the El Paso Science Festival. I love how it has grown over the years! Also had brief visits at El Paso Community College and La Nube Children’s museum. @ElPasoTXGov @EPScienceFest @EPCCed @LaNube915

Had an incredible visit yesterday to New Mexico State University in Las Cruces! Truly impressed by the bright, motivated elementary, middle, high school, and college students—and the outstanding faculty and administrators guiding them. The future is in great hands! 🚀 #NMSU @NMSU

Enjoyable talking about the Artemis and the splash down activities!

So the Artemis II astronauts get uncrustables for life? When I returned from my STS-128 mission the crew wentI straight to Domingo’s in Boron, CA and had a Modelo! Ok @cbrands, time to step it up! yahoo.com/news/articles/…

Great experience speaking at the Penn State Harrisburg Lecture Series this past Tuesday. Truly enjoyed engaging with such a bright and motivated community—thank you for the warm welcome and thoughtful dialogue! Grateful to @penn_state for the opportunity.

Wrapped up a great interview discussing the upcoming April 1 launch of Artemis II 🚀🌕—a historic mission that will send 4 astronauts on a journey orbiting the Moon and bring us one step closer deep space exploration. @NewsNation @HenaDoba interview here: app.latakoo.com/asset/23414142…

Grateful to be back home in Stockton, CA 🇺🇸—spending the evening with my community. I’ll be sharing my journey to the stars and through life, because goal setting should never stop. Let’s keep reaching higher together. 🚀✨

Cesar Chavez represented the movement but the movement does not represent him. We honor his contributions to farmworkers, but no one is above moral standards. While he can’t respond, we have the responsibility to listen to those that come forward.

Earlier this week I spoke at North Star Academy in Redwood City, CA. Hopefully I inspired them to reach for the Stars! @RWCSchools astrojh.org

Pops is on the tractor mowing the vineyard just in time for bud break! 🌱🚜 Bud break is the moment when grapevines wake up from dormancy and the first green shoots emerge from the buds. It marks the official start of the new growing season. Nature is waking up at Tierra Luna. 🍇

Though my buddy @AstroTerry didn’t make it through the primaries for the Texas Congressional District 9 race, I’m encouraging to keep seeking public office. We need good people like him in Washington DC!

I spoke at the Council of UC Staff Assemblies (CUCSA) winter quarter meeting at UC Merced. I gave them my perspective as a Univ of Calif Regent with respect to the future of UC and how much we appreciate the role of UC Staff as they are a key part of our success! @UofCalifornia

Curtailing the use of a specific AI package for government use can’t be good for our country. Fair competition and an open market is what makes this country great! businessinsider.com/anthropic-open…

Just landed in Houston! Looking forward to helping my good friend Terry! With your help, he can win this primary!

Being interviewed for the @Univision program Código de Investigación. We talked about the pressures astronauts face, how to control them, and why identifying psychological profiles and maintaining mental health is mission-critical. @NASA @NASA_Johnson

Nothing like @united airlines Tarmac Services meeting you to at your connecting airport in Houston IAH airport to ensure you make a tight connection! Thanks @travelassist43 and Tarmac Services, specifically to Kim Howen.

After UC Riverside Chancellor Hu’s inauguration, two young girls stop me at the Ontario airport —I assume they’re fans. Turns out they ask: ‘Are you Vanessa’s father? She just got engaged, right?’ Humbled to the max! @thevanessahernandez @UofCalifornia

Last Tuesday I attended the Riverside County of Education conference at the Riverside Convention Center. The bonus was meeting students from the Coachella Valley! Proud of our migrant students who are converting their big dreams to reality through education! @RCOE

Behind the scenes at Tierra Luna Cellars—& yes, it smells even better than it looks. Each chocolate bar is wrapped & packed by hand, made to pair perfectly with our wine. From our table to yours, every detail matters. Valentine’s Day is coming—grab yours before they’re gone. 🍷🍫
