My little #NASA space cadets. 👨‍🚀🚀🐶🐕😂 #puppies #dogs
Two brown dogs sitting and looking at the camera, the left one with medium length foofy hair and beard, the right one with short, smooth hair. They both sport bandanas with embroidered NASA meatball logos. On the floor in front of them are three NASA-branded toys: a bone with rubber tug handle, an astronaut, and a rocket with knotted tug rope.

profoundly sad that he won't get to enjoy the retirement he was looking forward to. If anyone deserved that, it was he. I am privileged to have known him, worked with him, learned from him. My heart breaks for his family.

My friend Kevin died last week. Well, his body did. His brain succumbed two months prior. On the 15th of February, Kevin had a heart attack while at the gym. He was resuscitated but never regained consciousness. A couple weeks later he was moved to a long-term care facility while family and friends

#NightcatProductions really knows their audience. They know we scientists appreciate the shout out. I just don't think I'll be using that particular demo in class. 😂👍🏻

Look, all I'm saying is...you hear of something called "Love Oil" and "hair care product" is not the first place most people's brains are gonna go.

Well played, ⭐️sexyhair, well played.

Fun but a bit frustrating: it's, by FAR, the loosest-fitting wooden puzzle I've ever worked. Many pieces "fit" in "wrong" places & you don't know until you have a problem somewhere else. Also more slightly damaged pieces than other wooden ones. Still, love the novelty. #StarTrek
Completely assembled wooden puzzle of the Enterprise D from Star Trek: The Next Generation.

The delta shield and Vulcan salute pieces are just delightful! But the Enterprise D ones - very nice touch. I've missed you, old friend.
