    This still doesn't feel real. It was such a magical feeling! For the first time in 15 years I could go vertical...and for the first time ever I got to go upside down, sideways, and every which way. These are just the first photos from an insane journey @astroaccess @GoZeroG

    Hey @elonmusk, ever thought of making a wheelchair accessible @Tesla? The autopilot would be a huge game changer for someone like me who uses hand controls to drive normally. If you do I'd be customer 1.

    An important reminder. Anyone who finds debris from Starship...it is NOT a souvenir. In fact it could potentially be dangerous! If you find anything please leave it and report it to SpaceX by calling 1-866-623-0234 or email [email protected].

    A dream come true! A huge thank you to @SpaceX for hosting myself and the @astroaccess ambassadors ahead of our Zero-G flight for people with disabilities at HQ! Hey @elonmusk any chance of getting a ride? The freedom for a paraplegic would be life changing!

    I'm officially Zero-G certified! This was absolutely a life-changing experience. I got to stand for the first time in 15 years, I then got to stand upside down! So much I've learned about a paralyzed lower half in Zero-G. This just proves space can work for everyone! @astroaccess

    This Falcon Heavy pic may not look like much, but to me it means a lot. This is my first EVER successful remote camera shot after 2 previous fails. Learn more about the Viasat-3 Americas mission: @NASASpaceflight: nasaspaceflight.com/2023/04/viasat…

    I am so unbelievably proud of this. I've tried remotes 4 times with no success. While only one of my two cameras fired, I'm happy with the one that did. I went for a medium-ish zoom engine shot, my first try at one. What do you think. Success? Mission: nasaspaceflight.com/2023/07/euclid…

    Another hero is gone. Such a kind man. I had the honor of meeting him back in 2016. Was great with his time, his storytelling, and it was a blast to see him interact with his fellow astronauts, crew, and the public. From Gemini to Apollo, Jim Lovell is a true American hero RIP

    Falcon Heavy is now vertical at LC-39A. Unfortunately it's going to remain vertical for another day. SpaceX is now targeting Sunday at 5:56pm ET for the launch of the USSF-67 mission. Read all about the mission here: nasaspaceflight.com/2023/01/ussf-6…

    What's better than one stage? Two stages interacting during boostback burn to create a very blue "nebula". Remember, there's also 4 people in this picture. Have a good flight Crew-7! Watch the @NASASpaceflight replay: 📺youtube.com/live/DRBPZEMTv…

    Who would be crazy enough to take a boat 20 miles off the coast of Stuart, FL to try and take pictures of B1085 aboard A Shortfall of Gravitas less than 24 hours after it launched four people on the first ever human polar orbiting mission, Fram2? Me. It would be me (and my

    To the moon, Vulcan! The Vulcan rocket makes its debut flight, and puts on quite a show. It's so cool seeing the blue streak thanks to the LNG/methane fuel. And to go on the first try! Worth the fight to be here. Learn about CERT-1 @nasaspaceflight nasaspaceflight.com/2024/01/vulcan…
