Sad news. Jerry Bostick, one of the greats of Apollo-era Mission Control has passed away. He was enormously helpful to our Mission Control film. A warm and generous soul and a great American. Love and blessings to his family and friends.

Here's Eileen Collins, the fabulous star of our movie SPACEWOMAN being interviewed by @amanpour on CNN.
Eileen Collins is a trailblazer, the first female space shuttle commander, and tells me about the pressure she faced: "I did not want to make a mistake because I didn't want people to say, 'Oh look, the woman made a mistake.' I was the first and I was setting a precedent."

A week ago, I went to Starbase with Eileen Collins, the first woman to command a US spacecraft. We played our @spacewomanfilm near where a fleet of spacecraft are being built, and took a lift to the top of the launch tower. Electrifying day. Brilliant, positive @SpaceX team.

He had a long and extraorindary life, but it is still a moment of great sadness to lose Jim Lovell, who we worked with on multiple films. With love and respect, we wish you blue skies and bright stars , sir. https://t.co/uSy4us7rFB James Lovell, who commanded Apollo 13.

The commander of Apollo 13 famously rescued his men from near certain death in space.

STS-114 astronaut Steve Robinson completed the first in-orbit repair of a space shuttle's heat shield 20 years ago on Aug 3. Tethered at the end of the @Space_Station's robotic arm, he carefully removed protruding gap fillers from Discovery's heat-shielding tiles.

60 years ago today, NASA launched Gemini 4, and Ed White conducted the first American spacewalk, inspiring a generation. Ed White and Jim McDivitt would orbit the Earth for a total of 97 hours - more than every prior crewed NASA mission combined.

Sally Ride was born 26th May 1951. When Ride first flew on the seventh Space Shuttle mission in 1983, she was both the first woman and the youngest astronaut in NASA history, at 32 years old. Her role was as a Mission Specialist, primarily operating the craft's robotic arm.
