    Astronaut Leland D. Melvin sits, center, smiling, in an orange escape suit. He is flanked by two Rhodesian Ridgeback dogs. One licks the right side of his face, and the other is jumping up excitedly on his lap. Behind him are a U.S. flag and a small model of the space shuttle. Credits: NASA/Robert Markowitz

    I remember giving a talk and only the boys raised their hands and wanted to be Astronauts. I asked the girls why and they said that I said it was the Manned Space Program. That day my language changed and it became the Human Space Program. Language and #RepresentationMatters TY🚀

    It’s amazing what you can do with Freedom. Happy #Juneteenth. Godspeed on your journey. 🙏🏾🚀👨🏾‍🚀 Juneteenth commemorates June 19, 1865, when General Major Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas and read a federal order abolishing the institution of chattel slavery in the state
