I got my Artemis II pin! (You can see it on my lanyard). I'll be OJT with the trajectory console for Mission Control. So, not officially on the Artemis II team but hopefully I can stay on for Artemis in the future. RTC-3 burn tomorrow morning, the critical final burn before re-entry interface!
I'm not much of a tattoo guy and never really considered it (especially since I have psoriasis), but I still have seriously considered getting the Triforce tattoo on the back of my left hand (like Link!), so I have much love for what you have there as well. 🔺
New observations of Uranus’s small inner moons to be presented at #AGU25 reveal that they’re darker, redder, and more water-poor than their larger counterparts. And they’re not always where they should be. 🧪🔭🪐 eos.org/articles/ura...
"But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."
At JSC today!

It's possible some of them may fly on Gateway one day. 😊 I hope I get to work with some of them one day! 🚀
Working at NASA, it's pretty cool talking about the Apollo 13 movie 30th anniversary coming up. But what's even cooler is I get to sit in the same meetings (branch meeting, sure, but whatever!) of people who actually worked the real Apollo 13 mission 50 years ago! 🤩
Klingon gagh is best served live!
Expedition 33... Dune Awakening... Civ VII... The Alters... Zelda BOTW and Tears of the Kingdom on Switch 2.... Death Stranding 2.... I... I just can't keep up with all the awesome games this year. Why is there never enough time?! 🥺
It has been: "0" days since not referencing Kerbal Space Program while I'm working at NASA.
The NASA cuts are so deep. They affect so much science and even the program I'm on (Gateway). I encourage people to take action where they can. This is an S.O.S. (Save Our Science!).

Just chillin' like a villain. Thanks for the check-in!
Even as trade, tariffs, borders divide, and other tensions rise between nations, our shared humanity unites us — we are one people, one heart, one earth, one global family standing together in hope and solidarity.
Through this video from the Yukon (Canada), I share joy and hope with the world.
Jean-Luc (my newest kitty) just turned on "Carry On My Wayward Son" on my computer and upped the volume to MAX while wandering on my keyboard. While I can say that raising him is a challenge and he is causing all sorts of chaos in my life, I suppose I can't fault him for his musical tastes!
"The other he spoke of was your twin brother."
I may have done better too, but some of the questions were spelling-related. Ugh. LOL
I just took 2nd place at a NASA JSC Star Wars Trivia game and I feel like this is basically peak geekdom. 😆
Open this image up.
Find the small crater almost at the exact centre of the image.
Spot the small nubbin inside said crater.
Congratulations! You've found Intuitive Machines' IM-2 Athena lander, lying (dead) on its side on the Moon, photographed by NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter.
Hey Bluesky. I think I may have just been selected to be the NASA Lunar Gateway Mission Design MER System Ops lead. :) (Basically mission design and flight dynamics engineering support for mission control). Yay!
I've been holding back on watching new Star Trek... I think the only ones that I've liked so far are Strange New Worlds and Picard S3. Maybe I'm getting old, but I've been more interested in Star Trek of exploration, not action.
If you're interested in being a part of preserving space history, this is *the* guy to do it!
A little blast from the past. One of my favorite video-game based movies, and it's on YouTube for free. :D

"Can't say I remember no At Attin!"
Only 5 episodes into #starwars #skeletoncrew, but I love it so far. If you want to feel like a kid again watching Star Wars, I highly recommend.
New hair. Who 'dis? 😆
May your gagh be live and bloody! 🖖
I barely have a handle on GenZ slang. Now I'm trying to learn Gen Alpha slang so I can keep... slayin'?... with my gamer... peeps? I'm just going to throw random slang out there and hope it sticks and try not to sound like I'm getting to half a century old!

I've had a hundred really cool scientists and engineers follow me in the last two weeks alone, with very thoughtful insights and posts. Such a breath of fresh air!
