🎓📚 There’s something special about being educators while also being parents of two daughters starting a new school year!
My wife and I get to pour into students every day, while watching our own girls grow and learn.
New year. Same prayer: growth, success, and purpose. 🙏🏾

"We can see the Moon out of the docking hatch right now. It's a beautiful sight."
Flight day 3 is in the books, and our @NASAArtemis II crew is now closer to the Moon than to Earth. Check out highlights from our lunar mission. What’s been your favorite moment so far?
