Got my boarding pass! Stay tuned for an exciting week coming up. Shane Kimbrough, who graduated from The Lovett School and Georgia Tech, will be going to space for the third time. He will also be flying in his third type of spacecraft! He has flown in the Space Shuttle, and a Soyuz capsule. This time, he will be riding a Space-X Dragon to the ISS. . . . . #nasa #iss #internationalspacestation #crew2 #dragon #spacex #spacexdragon https://www.instagram.com/p/CNwBb46DZVL/?igshid=1gj6rezp2dk7w
The Apollo 6 CM is displayed not too far from where I live. I have visited it many times.
A little bit history⦠and an exciting future. #saturnv #sls #spacelaunchsystem #nasa #nasaartemis #solarsystemambassador (at U.S. Space & Rocket Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRNrGmFDtwq/?utm_medium=tumblr
The kids at the Lilburn Activities Building learned about the Space Shuttle and NASA's James Webb Space Telescope today!!! They got to see what a Space Shuttle cockpit looked like when it was in orbit. The kids examined a piece of a space flown shuttle tire, and acted out the duties of shuttle crew members. To top it off, the kids took home Space Shuttle gliders, along with shuttle and JWST coloring pages! Special thanks to former astronaut, Terry Virts, for recording my introduction! The kids loved hearing your insights! #explorepage #space #stemeducation #spaceshuttle #JamesWebbSpaceTelescope #solarsystemambassador (at Lilburn, Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cf9Xg3AujqY/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I was honored to be selected as a judge for this contest. A young man named Alexander Mather from Virginia chose the name āPerseveranceā and wrote the winning essay. Perseverance is scheduled to launch to Mars this July. @nasa @nasajpl #nasa #mars #marsrover #space #perseverance #mars2020 https://www.instagram.com/p/CBS-LPVH6tj/?igshid=1pzag6xydhku4
I had a wonderful time talking about human space flight to 3rd Graders at Starling Elementary today! The kids were very knowledgeable and had fantastic questions! I love the reaction I get when I tell my two āGemini Astronautsā they have to sit next to each other and not shower for two weeks! Everybody: āEEEEWWWWWWW!!!ā #stemeducation #STEM #NASA #ArtemisGeneration #Artemis #SolarSystemAmbassador #Orion #sls #spaceflight #gwinnettcounty #gwinnettcountyschools #graysongeorgia #wearegoing #explorepage #space https://www.instagram.com/p/CmLF0wZuxw8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Hosted a āStory Time From Spaceā event today at Kateās camp. The kids learned about the ISS and all of the exciting experiments taking place up there. They also made artwork for the Space for Art Foundationās BEYOND project. @issnationallab @spaceforartfoundation @iss #iss #space #issnationallab #astronauts #spacestation #science #stem @nasa #nasa https://www.instagram.com/p/CDCKwFKnIG3/?igshid=116ibjl2qrlwa
I host public outreach events about the science and research taking place everyday on the International Space Station. A favorite event of mine is called "Story Time From Space", where astronauts onboard the ISS read children's stories featuring space science and STEM topics. (Opinions are my own.)
