Daddy’s “Digital Learning” as well. About two years ago, I was talking to a buddy of mine about the U.S. space program picking up speed. I told him I was going to be in the heart of it to the extent of my abilities. As things developed, I found my niche in education and outreach. Thanks to my wife’s support, I’ve seen so many cool things, attended live and virtual briefings, and taken class after class. I so dearly want to be in Texas, Alabama, and Florida. However, I will continue to do my part here at home... For now. https://www.instagram.com/p/CD0OtziDeOr/?igshid=1hp56kr86pvm9

Hosted a “Story Time From Space” event today at Kate’s 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 Foundation’s BEYOND project. @issnationallab @spaceforartfoundation @iss #iss #space #issnationallab #astronauts #spacestation #science #stem @nasa #nasa https://www.instagram.com/p/CDCKwFKnIG3/?igshid=116ibjl2qrlwa
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 “Gemini Astronauts” they have to sit next to each other and not shower for two weeks! Everybody: “EEEEWWWWWWW!!!” #stemeducation #STEM #NASA #ArtemisGeneration #Artemis #SolarSystemAmbassador #Orion #sls #spaceflight #gwinnettcounty #gwinnettcountyschools #graysongeorgia #wearegoing #explorepage #space https://www.instagram.com/p/CmLF0wZuxw8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Spent yesterday afternoon talking about “NASA In The 60s” to kids at a Gwinnett Parks Summer Camp. I love being a NASA/JPL Solar System Ambassador!!! #stemeducation #nasa #solarsystemambassador #nasasolarsystemambassador #gwinnetcountyparks https://www.instagram.com/p/CfHbeldO82N/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
My Brother in-law and I made a day hop to Huntsville this past Saturday. I had originally planned to take a test at MSFC, but the current government shutdown nixed that idea.
Instead, we took in the U. S. Space and Rocket Center. I never get tired of seeing the huge Saturn V or the full shuttle stack on the grounds.
Sometimes, a little of “The Right Stuff” in your kit can be that extra motivation in your day. #therightstuff #space #chuckyeager #nasa #stem #beemansgum #airbornescienceprogram #solarsystemambassador https://www.instagram.com/p/CMQ0WlMjBMa/?igshid=xtntgh9dbstf
Sorta clear skies last night. This is one of my favorite regions on the Moon. The area includes the Apennine Mountains. The tallest one, Mons Huygens, is 18,000 feet tall. For perspective, the Matterhorn in Switzerland is 14,692 feet tall. My shot is a single image, so it’s a little fuzzy. It was too windy tonight to work how I intended. #celestron127slt #moon #astronomy #backyardastronomy https://www.instagram.com/p/B-gp_GjHgCF/?igshid=r2fjudkd7etm
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.)
