Liftoff. The Artemis II mission launched from @NASAKennedy at 6:35pm ET (2235 UTC), propelling four astronauts on a journey around the Moon. Artemis II will pave the way for future Moon landings, as well as the next giant leap — astronauts on Mars.

Please support federal funding for research. It's the engine that drives new technologies, startups, security, workforce. It's invisible to most people but foundational for our nation. The proposed cuts will hurt us in coming decades...when we can't make up that deficit.

Space science is important for all Americans. Private aerospace ventures benefit immensely from the training pipeline made possible by university space science programs. #SpeakUp4Science

Utterly heart wrenching and scary what some JPL friends and colleagues are going through right now. Please keep them in your thoughts. Will be staying tuned to hear if there may be opportunities to help.

I don’t normally comment on politics but Candace Owens’ apparent support for the Deccan Traps hypothesis over the Chicxulub impact was definitely not on my bingo card. MVGA (Make Volcanism Great Again)?

The older I get the more absurd the concept of “dinosaurs roamed the earth until a great big meteor hit” becomes to me. 🤷‍♀️
