During a visit to NASA’s Johnson Space Center last March, I was confronted with an environment of fear, uncertainty and discrimination which struck me as a troubling moral issue that also raises serious safety concerns. Read all about it here: www.thespacereview.com/article/5060/1

As part of the Peaks & Professors program, I hosted a group of USC students on a trip to Sequoia National Park last weekend. Huge trees, amazing views, great night sky, super fun students and pop-tarts for breakfast!!!

Very impressed last night by Abagail Spanberger and Mikie Sherrill, candidates for Governor of #virginia & #newjersey who are focused on improving affordability in their states no matter what happens nationally. I’ve known Mikie Sherrill for >7 years and can’t think of a better leader for NJ.

We flew our airplane to Telluride CO to visit with my boon companion, Mike LA, and see an incredible film at the #telluridefilmfestival ‘From Earth to Michael’ is about a father-son relationship that spans years, spends time in space and endures per aspera. Hopefully you will get to see it soon!

Congratulations to all my friends at SpaceX on what I’d definitely classify as a successful test flight of #Starship today! Still a lot of work to do to improve the aft flap thermal protection but heading in the right direction again!

Hey! What’s wrong with Parsippany? Pick on Livingston next time.
I’m hearing Trump wants to turn the White House into the architectural equivalent of a wedding hall in Parsipanny. ‘Make it look like garlic knots & tinsel…GOLD tinsel, capiche? More Chandeliers, dammit!!’

NASA’s science programs are some of the most cost-effective work that the agency does. And they are being decimated.

One thing is very clear right now. Anyone who claims that the Republican Party is serious about reducing the deficit or helping the middle class and is not all about cutting taxes for billionaires instead doesn’t have a leg to stand on.

On this day in 1983, Space Shuttle Challenger launched on its second mission - carrying Sally Ride, the first American woman in space.
She was also the first Astronaut known to have been LGBTQ+, though she was not able to publicly come out until after her death.
