Dr. Sian “Leo” Proctor

I’m #almost50 & reflecting on my life. It’s a sad birthday for me because my parents are both gone & crazy times. I’ve got a box of stuff from my mom that I’m determined to go through to #celebrate my #life & their story. This is my only photo of just me & my parents!❤️ #mystory

It was so cool to be invited to this historic moment and be able to connect with reporters and so many amazing astronauts while at Kennedy Space Center! 🙏🏽🌎🚀🌗 forbes.com/sites/jimclash…

@donindacula @inspiration4x Agree!! 🌎👩🏾‍🚀🚀🌗

@DrSianProctor @inspiration4x Yes. The Space Shuttle, ISS and civilian space flights are all very important parts of past excellence but the Lunar landing and establishing a permanent presence is a future I’ve been looking forward to since the Apollo program ended.

Five years ago I went to space on @inspiration4x - the 1st all civilian mission to orbit earth - and now we have humans headed to the moon with #NASA #ArtemisII. Is anyone else feeling like the future is now?!?! 🌎🚀🌗🖖🏾

@BigDavesRants @inspiration4x Absolutely! I keep thinking about all the emotions he must have felt working at the NASA tracking station for Apollo 8. They liftoff and head to the moon on the shoulders of all those that came before them to advance human spaceflight.

@DrSianProctor @inspiration4x Does this feel extra special to you since your father was involved in Apollo? Not only bc of what it means for humanity, but also because it carries on the legacy of his (and countless others) achievements?

@AxcellGuzman @astro_reid @NASA @NASAArtemis @AstroVicGlover @Astro_Christina @Astro_Jeremy That collection is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🚀

@astro_reid @NASA @NASAArtemis @AstroVicGlover @Astro_Christina @Astro_Jeremy Hello, I need this indicator for my collection. Will it be sold someday? @astro_reid

Fist bump, Rise! Very emotional moment zipping up Rise, knowing we are bringing 5,647,889 names with us on this journey around the Moon. For all!   People from around the world submitted their names through the Send Your Name with Artemis campaign. These names were downloaded onto an SD card that is safely stored inside "Rise," the zero gravity indicator designed by 2nd grader Lucas Ye from California. Thanks for coming along, everyone!

@airandspace @DJSnM 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🚀

Last night, the Museum’s 2026 Michael Collins Trophy for Current Achievement was awarded to the Boeing Starliner Flight Test Crew. Astronauts Sunita “Suni” Williams and Barry “Butch” Wilmore’s extensive spaceflight experience prepared them to not just adapt but excel with personal strength, grace, and competence when their eight-day mission turned into one that lasted more than nine months. Watch the featured video now. #CollinsTrophy

@aparrisx Thanks Titan! 🙏🏽❤️🚀🖖🏾

I didn’t realize just how stressful being in Dubai was on my body. Now that I am home safe I can feel myself crashing under the release of the worry & stress. Giving myself permission to relax & recover isn’t easy when you have a go mindset. Time to just breathe with gratitude.

Happy #InternationalWomensDay to all the women and girls who are reaching for the stars by letting your beautiful and unique #EarthLight shine! 🚀🌎✨ #womensupportingwomen #womeninspiringwomen

With a focus on gratitude and a little creativity - this is what keeps me going. I’m not home but I’m also no longer stuck in Dubai! 🙏🏽🚀❤️

As soon as I posted this my flight was canceled again by @emirates. I honestly don’t know when I will make it home. 😭😭😭😭😭 @EmiratesSupport

A quick update from #Dubai. I am well and have another flight home Friday. Fingers crossed that the airspace opens up. Shoutout to @macmalkawi for taking care of me & making sure I get rebooked on my @emirates flight each time it gets canceled. Praying for peace! 🙏🏽❤️🚀🌍

@Lori_Garver @emirates @EmiratesSupport Canceled again. My flight doesn’t qualify for repatriation so I’m trying to remain optimistic that they will open the airspace soon.

@DrSianProctor @emirates @EmiratesSupport Thanks for the update and glad you are safe. Hope you got/get out today!

Quick update about my flight out of Dubai on @emirates. I am safe and with amazing people. Thank you for checking in and all the support. 🙏🏽❤️🚀@EmiratesSupport

@AstroYoel @emirates @EmiratesSupport No Dominican but I appreciate the compliment!

@DrSianProctor @emirates @EmiratesSupport hiii dr! idk why but your face look like dominican, i can feel that good energy. are you related with any dominican family?

@danaen803 @emirates @EmiratesSupport @MBRSpaceCentre @rookisaacman Yes! It’s one of the reasons for my visit.

@DrSianProctor @emirates @EmiratesSupport Have you had the chance to visit @MBRSpaceCentre, would love to visit there myself. @rookisaacman

I’m still in Dubai. My flight keeps getting canceled & I totally agree on being safe. I was told by Emirates that I could only fly out when the airspace is fully open & not on a “special” repatriation flight. So, I am hoping they open the entire airspace to all flights soon. 🙏🏽🚀

@nevernorminal @FireflySpace Beautiful! ❤️🚀

One year ago today, the world woke up to Firefly’s Blue Ghost becoming the first commercial lunar lander to successfully land on the moon.

🚀 #OTD 3/2/2019: @NASA and @SpaceX launched #Demo1! #CrewDragon, the 1st commercially built & operated American crew spacecraft, headed to the @Space_Station carrying a smart sensor-clad mannequin named Ripley - proving readiness to send humans back to space from American soil
