17 years ago this day, the intrepid crew in this photo launched aboard Endeavour, beginning a 16 day adventure to continue assembly of the International Space Station. Great crew, mission, and memories. @NASA, @Space_Station, @NASAJohnson
Honoring those who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. We salute you and will never forget.

#OTD 25 years ago ✨
STS-98 launched on February 7, 2001, with ASE members Thomas Jones, Robert Curbeam, and @Astro_127 aboard.
Fun fact: This flight delivered the Destiny Laboratory Module to the @Space_Station!
Marc Garneau has passed away. He was an Astronaut, Head of the Canadian Space Agency, a member of Parliament, and a federal cabinet minister. Most important, Marc was a friend and outstanding human being. The world is a bit sadder today.
My thoughts go to Pam and his family.
Today is #MemorialDay in the U.S. We honor all who sacrificed their lives while serving in our Armed Forces.
It was 24 years ago today. STS-98 on Atlantis! Destiny Lab to ISS. Great Mission. Awesome crew! @NASA @NASA_Astronauts @NASAhistory @ISS_Research

Hey everyone. @Astro_Doug was, and is, one awesome space explorer. From his 1st flight here, he not only piloted the very last mission of a U.S. Space Shuttle, but also flew the very 1st flight of Crew Dragon. That doesn't happen by chance!
STS-127. Hard to put into words what my first flight into space was like and how hard we worked for 16 days. Incredible! Special thanks to @Astro_127! I couldn’t have asked for a better person to lead our flight.
Moi aussi!

It's #MemorialDay. Today, we honor those who laid down their lives while serving in the armed forces of the United States, as well as their families. We owe you a debt that can never be repaid.
What a great, fun event! Thanks to everyone at @LifeAtPurdue and @IMS
Last month, @PurdueAeroAstro alumni astronauts Sirisha Bandla, Beth Moses, Mark Polansky and Audrey Powers and CS alum Drew Feustel shared their experiences in a special #ThisIsPurdue episode, filmed at IMS during the #Purdue-NASA eclipse event. stories.purdue.edu/podcast/p…

I posted yesterday about #VeteransDay in the U.S. While yesterday was the federal holiday observing this, today, November 11th is the actual #VeteransDay. So once again, thanks and a salute to all who served!
