After @astrosherie.space and I lost our beloved Katniss earlier this month, we decided to adopt this beautiful furbaby that we've named Katie...already now known as also Katie-Kat, Katie Cane, Katie the Koala & the Velveteen Rabbit (very soft)! She is scared but sweet & has claimed the linen closet!

LOL love this so much! Here are my and @astrosherie.space's girls! Katniss on the left and Kenzie on the right - not a brain cell between the two of them (what did you expect, they're orange?!) #CatsOfBluesky ... Credit to @daralind.bsky.social ✨

Yes, VERY different... but still very cool! These photos were taken at KSC's Family Day last year, that my sister @astrosherie.space so nicely invited me and our parents to! #NASAKennedy

In addition to providing critical atmospheric, oceanic, hydrologic, and climate data via the Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) and the Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM), GOES-19 also has the ability to detect and monitor solar and space data with a suite of instruments. (6/8)

The first step was reaching geostationary orbit, which GOES-U did on July 7 and was then renamed GOES-19. About a month after its launch, it arrived at what's called the 'checkout' location at 89.5 degrees W, where it underwent activation and started the post-launch testing phase. (2/8)

On June 25 this year I witnessed the launch of the new GOES-U satellite as part of the NASA Social event at Kennedy Space Center! It was a beautiful, successful launch (despite the heat & approaching storms)! If you're like me, you might be wondering what's happened since launch & what's next? (1/8)

I know it's before Thanksgiving, but given the state of things, @astrosherie.space & I needed some light + joy in the house so all our holiday decorations are up already! ✨🎄 If you've already decorated too (regardless of which holiday), please share a photo or 2, we'd love to see it! #HappyHolidays

Had an incredible time helping to host Space Happy Hour with @astrosherie.bsky.social, Hunter Hatchell, & Ali Jenkins on Thursday night at the Space Bar in Titusville! Had a great turn out despite the chilly weather (by Florida standards 😂). We're breaking for the holidays, but will be back in Jan!!

You'd never know this absolute dumpling of a cat spends a good part of the day running around like a little T-Rex, biting Christmas trees, and meowing at the top of her lungs for attention lol - she acts more like 3 than 12 years old 😂 #CatsOfBlueSky #Kenzie

These groups have not yet migrated to BlueSky, but if you want to find them, they are 'give her...SPACE' (on LinkedIn), AIAA Cape Canaveral (on Insta/X/FB), and Space Happy Hour - Space Coast (on Insta/X/FB). I've you're local to the Space Coast, hopefully we'll see you at an event soon!

...and since everything I'm doing lately revolves around the aerospace industry, I'm now volunteering with 3 awesome groups along with my twin sister @astrosherie.bsky.social and having so much fun! Here are a few photos from some of the fun events I've participated in recently!

Oh, what I wouldn't give to be 12 years old again for a day living back in the northwestern hills of Rhode Island - these were the type of storms I lived for as a kid! ❄️ ☃️
