Touch down in Düsseldorf! 🛬
I’ve arrived in Germany, ready to start 👩🚀astronaut training with the @esa next week.
Some friends were at the airport to welcome me, along with a cute🚀sign their kids made for me.
Congratulations to the men and women of Space Launch Delta 30 and Firefly Aerospace!
The rocket launched from Vandenberg's Space Launch Complex-2 at 12:01 a.m., Oct. 1, 2022.
If you missed it, here is a video of the launch.

Turns out that without a billionaire, "commercial" space is still very much a challenge. “We ran out of money after grossly underbidding. The estimate was $105 million but I was told that we had found a 30 million dollar private customer"

If I was in Melbourne I’d be there in a heartbeat! Have just started reading this (am on p52)…. chapter on personal perspectives…. I was angry & sad & by the end in awe & proud of these two authors! Great work @KrystalDeNapoli & Karlie, You are thoroughly impressive !
I’m speaking tonight at the @CaterpillarInc dinner at the NASA Lunabotics competition. Will speak on expectations for moving civilization beyond just a single planet during the lifetimes of the audience.
Thursday's precise liftoff time has been established for #AtlasV to send #Starliner capsule on its journey to the @Space_Station. Based on latest calculations of when the station's orbital plane passes over the pad, launch will occur at 6:54:47 p.m. EDT (2254:47 UTC).
During our final vehicle check-outs, we observed one of New Shepard’s back-up systems was not meeting our expectations for performance. In an abundance of caution, we will be delaying the #NS21 launch originally scheduled for Friday. Stay tuned for further updates.
I'm genuinely excited for Boeing, NASA, ULA, and everyone who has worked so hard to bring Starliner back to the launch pad. Failure is painful. Facing adversity is painful. Hopefully, the payoff over the next week will make up for it all.
My first day at NASA I was told there is a particularly nasty office politics squabble everyone has to navigate: Star Wars or Star Trek. So I don’t say this lightly: May the 4th be with you.
Completing Dragon suit checkouts & a view of our @SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule Endurance 🐉🚀 Soon it's time to head back to Earth & I'm looking forward to home, but also getting a bit wistful that it'll soon be time to say goodbye. #Crew3#CosmicKiss
