I've always said that fighter pilots have ice in their veins and are best under pressure. @GenChuckYeager can still turn-and-burn with the best! He's always had His Right Stuff for 97 years! Happy birthday, my friend! 🇺🇸

The first thing I do every morning is put the American flag up on my balcony; and every night I take it down, and properly fold and store it. It’s saddens me how few people do this anymore. #proudtoserve #mycountry #ourfreedom #usa #ifyoustandfornothingyoullfallforeverything

54 years ago today, we tragically lost the crew of #Apollo1 – Gus Grissom, Roger Chafee and Ed White when a launch pad fire claimed their lives. Their ultimate sacrifice made us even more determined than ever to step foot. We must never forget them.

I sometimes marvel that we went to the moon, it was such a privilege to have been there first. We must honor the hundreds of thousands who made it possible. God bless America! #Apollo50 #USA

18 years ago today, the Columbia (STS-107) crew paid the ultimate sacrifice when the space shuttle was lost upon re-entry. They were patriots in the truest sense of the word. To honor their legacy, we must never give up on our dreams of space exploration and discovery.

Take it from a man who walked on the Moon:   - Failure is always an option. - Trust your gut…and your instruments. - Never leave your friends behind. - Be careful what you dream-it just might come to pass. - Maintain your spirit of adventure. #Apollo11 #apollospaceshop .com
