It’s kinda surreal walking outside, seeing the Moon, and knowing that in like three months we’re about to send people around it.

Sixteen years ago today, I watched my third-or-so rocket launch, never dreaming how this one was going to stick with me. Three and a half years into writing a book about Ares I-X, it's a testament to the team that I've been writing about it longer than it took them to fly it.

There's a new Springsteen documentary, and I got invited to a free screening by the AARP, and that sentence makes me feel old like three times over.

Make a movie better by adding one letter ... and a punctuation mark and a Roman numeral. (Having watched both Tron Ares and Ares I-X, they were both pretty enjoyable.)

The final piece of the SLS rocket for @NASAArtemis II is on its way to @NASAKennedy! Built here at #NASAMarshall, the Orion stage adapter connects the upper stage of the rocket to the Orion spacecraft. Read more about the important role it plays >> https://t.co/YSJdISJZjD

Steps away from the SLS rocket for Artemis II, the core stage for Artemis III's lunar mission is also beginning to take shape at @NASAKennedy. The recent move for the boattail and engine section is part of a change to the SLS production process. https://t.co/ODf655vATs
