On my first flight STS-127 on Shuttle Endeavour, we scrubbed 5 times over the course of a month for technical and weather challenges. All launch commit criteria is developed way ahead of any attempt. This makes the correct scrub/launch decision easier in the heat of the moment.

Today’s the day. Trip to Mars, 99.9% complete. The most dangerous part comes last: the final seven minutes. Watch my landing live starting at 11:15 a.m. PST / 2:15 p.m. EST / 19:15 UTC. #CountdownToMars

Not bad for a first try boss! By the way, the spacesuits were completely designed and built in house in less than four years by the amazing @SpaceX suit team.

I had the privilege to meet astronaut @Astro_Doug at Texas in 2016.  Today he’ll be on the launch of @NASA ’s @SpaceX Crew Dragon flight headed for the International Space Station. And I thought I had a cool job! #LaunchAmerica

Through the crew patch for the SpaceX DM-2 mission, we pay tribute to the dedicated teams of NASA and SpaceX that have worked hard toward returning human spaceflight launches to the United States. Patch design: Andrew Nyberg.

Two years ago today, the Crew Dragon Endeavour spacecraft splashed down in the Gulf of Mexico, successfully completing the Demo-2 mission, as SpaceX successfully launched NASA astronauts from American soil and returned them safely to Earth. 📷: NASA/Bill Ingalls

Our fabulous pups, Luke and Leo, in fabric and thread, quilted and ready to hang. I was thrilled to finish it in time to have it under the tree for @Astro_Doug on Christmas morning. 🎄 Happy Holidays to everyone!

This is incredible! I can’t begin to count the number of hours we spent in this simulator just in training for one flight. Looking forward to seeing it fully restored and to listen to those conversations as we trained for STS-135. Huge thanks to @BonnieJDunbar and the LSFM!

After a decade in storage, a team of volunteers has restored the space shuttle motion simulator—and it looks fantastic.

Of all the things we pulled off… The Chinook was on the ground only four seconds. The pace car was driven by astronaut Doug Hurley. Chevy was in a panic because we literally stole the pace car to put it on the helicopter. We knew Corp lawyers would say NO so we didn’t ask. FUN!

Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley helped write a new chapter in the history of spaceflight as the first astronauts to launch to orbit in a commercial capsule. It was my honor to present them with the Congressional Space Medal of Honor.
