I am so sad to hear about the passing of my hero Jim Lovell. He was a great role model not only as an astronaut, but also as a person who exemplified a life well lived - both professionally and personally. He will be missed by many, Godspeed my friend.

#otd in 1969 Neil Armstrong became the first person to walk on the moon - perhaps the greatest engineering and science accomplishment in history and the inspiration for me at age 6 to want to grow up to be an astronaut. Congratulations to all the thousands of people who made it

📷 Big shoutout to Thailand!. For the first time ever, a Thai dish has made it to space – and not just any dish, but one that passed space food standard known as NASA-STD-3001📷. The “Chicken Breast with Thai Basil” from CP Foods is now officially part of the menu for astronauts.
