This morning I’ll fly in and out of LaGuardia—passing through NYC on a day etched in our hearts. I was in high school on 9/11. Now, as a pilot, I fly with remembrance for the lives lost, deep respect for first responders, and pride in my fellow aviators. #NeverForget 🇺🇸

"I thought the image of the god Apollo riding his chariot across the sun gave the best representation of the grand scale of the proposed program." –Abe Silverstein on how he came up with "Apollo" for NASA's lunar landing program. Apollo 12 rolls out to the launchpad #OTD in 1969

#OTD in 1983, Challenger lifted off into the night sky for the eighth mission of the Shuttle program: STS-8. This was NASA's second launch of a crewed space mission at night. 🤔 Which was the first?

We are saddened by the passing of Jim Lovell, commander of Apollo 13 and a four-time spaceflight veteran. Lovell's life and work inspired millions. His courage under pressure helped forge our path to the Moon and beyond—a journey that continues today. go.nasa.gov/41tbrpq

STS-51F, the Spacelab 2 mission, took flight 40 years ago today! This 19th shuttle flight was the only one to perform an Abort to Orbit emergency procedure, so the mission's round-the-clock science experiments took place at a slightly lower altitude than originally planned.

Full circle moment: Abe and I were flight school roommates and flew together as students in DA40s. Yesterday we found ourselves both reassigned and flying together again, this time in the flight deck of an #E175 #pilotlife #RepublicAirways #FlyWithLIFT #pilot

This incredible photo of Space Shuttle Columbia was taken #OTD in 1992. This is the launch of Spacelab mission STS-50. The 13-day mission was the first Extended Duration Orbiter flight and the longest shuttle mission to that date.

On May 25, 1961, President Kennedy spoke to Congress and the nation: “I believe that this Nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to Earth.” 8 years later: Goal accomplished

35 triumphant years in space! Lifting off at 8:33am local time from @NASAKennedy, the launch of @NASAHubble #OTD in 1990 marked the dawn of more than three decades of jaw-dropping discoveries about our solar system, our galaxy, and our universe.
