Many people think- well, we've been to the Moon, why is it so hard to go back? The Apollo missions vs Intuitive Machines missions are two completely different missions. Not only are we working with a tiny fraction of Apollo's budget, but we're going to regions of the Moon that

Organizing storage in space is quite the challenge and I like to call these bags the 'space suitcase.' You will find them all over the space station tied down to just about any surface using velcro, zip ties or bungee cords. They store a variety of different things and you never

Despite the Sokol suit having an air-cooled system built in, sweating during launch and reentry is inevitable. The suit's inner pressure bladder is made of rubberized material that is pretty darn good at trapping in moisture. And moisture accumulation leads to mold and mildew.

Without the effects of gravity, your spine stretches out and you grow taller in space. I came back to Earth measuring over 6 feet for the first time ever and proudly strutted into the doctor's office the following day. After the routine weight and measurement check I was greeted

We have a worldwide network of dishes we call the Lunar Data Network to support our space missions and lunar operations, to offload the heavily used NASA Deep Space Network. To support the increasing cislunar traffic, Intuitive Machines plans to incorporate our data relay

I've never been the most flexible guy, but boy I was not prepared for how shockingly un-flexible I was after coming back to Earth. Things are just so effortless in microgravity that by the time you get back everything takes a Herculean effort. The first few days are like being

When I'm asked what possibilities exist for space exploration - my answer is - EVERYTHING! We have no foresight of what technological breakthroughs are coming that will completely change our capabilities and redefine what is possible. Just thinking about this stuff gets me so

Last week I had a chance to speak in Portland about commercial innovation. The @Int_Machines and @Columbia1938 partnership is a great model demonstrating how innovations in one field can solve challenges in another.

#OTD in 2017, @AstroPeggy and I captured the first reused @SpaceX Dragon. The spacecraft 'formally known as CRS-4 became CRS-11', a nod to the artist Prince, and marked a major milestone for commercial reusability. If you look closely you can see it has a Space Station stamp,
