NASA-JPL hosted a panel discussion for #ProjectHailMary So many amaze (🎶) humans in one spot!!!

My colleague said Ryan Gosling mentioned, “Voyager was the original Hail Mary” 🥹

(Reminder- Matt Damon visited JPL + the Mars Yard for “The Martian”- which I alsooo missed!)

Greeting card with a smiling graduated cylinder that says “YOU GRADUATED” and a holographic red and blue Mars rover sticker that says “STAY CURIOUS”.

When you 👉finally👈 get to see a colleague in-person. Yep, she kept this safe for >2 yrs! 🥹

NASA-JPL friends- if you were on today’s Town Hall, I’m soooooooo jelly!!!!

Fist my bump 🤜🤛 #ProjectHM

"Good night Moon." -SLS

NASA's #ArtemisII mission (SLS + Orion transported via Crawler) currently in rollback to the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) on Wednesday, 02/25/2026. Crews will begin troubleshooting shortly after SLS is tucked back in bed.

Don't forget- #Paralympics run Mar 5-15, 2026 #WinterOlympics2026 🧪🪨

This has been my absolute FAVORITE moment of the 2026 #Olympics. Such a wonderful display of Olympic spirit.

Thrilled to see @penaltyloop.bsky.social on BlueSky ⛷️

Ssssh, don't give away our secret (merci 😉)

Feels like yesterday, doesn’t it? Can’t believe it’s been 5 years of science and earning those TRLs! (Bravo 🚁 Team!)

Today has been a full trip down memory lane. Grateful + proud to have been part of these NASA-JPL teams.

I’ll add to @sciencesocks.bsky.social @stim3on.bsky.social et al. posts. Here’s my real-time (albeit world-in-quarantine) M2020 landing day & “7 Minutes of Terror” from 2021:

Bravo! What a creative use of these data!

Love your creativity, Friend! Keep up the great work!!!

Images from the Mars Perseverance Rover - NASA Raw images of Mars taken by the Perseverance rover and Ingenuity Mars helicopter in Jezero Crater.

Reminder- #NASA hosts all raw images for the (M2020) #Perseverance rover here 🧪🔭

Caption from NASA: "NASA's Mars Perseverance rover acquired this image during its descent to Mars, using its Descent Stage Down-Look Camera. This camera is mounted on the bottom of the descent stage and looks at the rover. This image was acquired on Feb. 22, 2021 (Sol 0) at the local mean solar time of 19:20:29.

Caption from NASA: "NASA's Mars Perseverance rover acquired this image of the area in front of it using its onboard Front Left Hazard Avoidance Camera A. This image was acquired on Feb. 18, 2021 (Sol 0) at the local mean solar time of 15:54:04. Image Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech"

HAPPY 5-(🌎)YR LANDIVERSARY to our Perseverance Rover 🍰

As a Jezero mapper, seeing the *image* from SkyCrane of M2020 being lowered to the crater surface, will forever be a highlight of my career.

CONGRATS to the entire M2020 Team (extra special shoutout to the EDL engineers!) 🧪🔭 #PlanetarySci

If you stretched the definition, this could possibly fall under my initial language superpower 😅 I mean, what DO trees say to each other... Hey? Hi there? Keep your roots on your side?

Awesome! Thank you!

Nice! I was at KSC when they flew over, but I didn’t get a shot. Glad to see they released one.

We also got to see #Crew-12 a few days prior to their recent launch (and when they flew over the pad… didn’t get pics though 🛩️). Squint hard!

Recently had the opportunity to reunite with some fellow NASA ASCAN Interviewees for an up-close tour of KSC + SLS/ Orion on Launch Pad 39B #ArtemisII

Putting together some thoughts, but here’s a sneak peek.

Just. Heartbreaking. 🇳🇴💔

Heart of an athlete. Grief. Sorrow. So many heavy moments in these 2026 #Olympics, but I felt this one 🥺

Atle Lie McGrath 🇳🇴 DNFs, walks off the course, + collapses in the snow bank. He lost his grandfather during opening ceremonies. Heartbreaking.

Started #ProjectHailMary when initially released- postponed finishing; didn’t want it to end. Until today.

LET ME JUST SAY,

We should all be so fortunate to find a friendship like Grace + Rocky 👊🎶

“Be careful,” says Rocky. “You are friend now.”
“Thanks,” I say. “You are friend also.”
“Thank.”

Very cool and from the Flakor (too)… dream vessel!!! Hopefully someday I’ll add her to my expedition roster.

Mars Science/ Engineering Teams,

Do you always see a bunch of Mars rovers on the belly of a 747? Just me?

Dear Engineers, y’all are amazing. Bravo Bernoulli ✈️

Caught this absolute unit of a 747 landing at Dulles (IAD). Handling major crosswinds like a champ!

Garibaldi area- niiiice. I was just looking at logistics for a summer trip to Banff. Hopefully in the next 1-2 years.

Also- ALT text is excellent 😆

Focuses intensely… rocks fall off mountain… ✅ confirmed superpower!

Btw- talk about GORGEOUS scenery! Where was this???
