"Nichelle Nichols was a trailblazer and role model for women of color, and all women ... Her portrayal of Lt. Uhura in ‘Star Trek’ allowed both her talent & her dignity to show through. Her work with NASA and the National Space Society was invaluable.” space.nss.org/national-space…

Today, we celebrate the birthday of my friend and crew-mate the late Neil Armstrong. He will always be remembered for his long and loyal service to America and we’ll never forget his words as he took those giant leaps. It was a privilege and an honor to serve with him. #Apollo11

We celebrate the life of Nichelle Nichols, Star Trek actor, trailblazer, and role model, who symbolized to so many what was possible. She partnered with us to recruit some of the first women and minority astronauts, and inspired generations to reach for the stars.

The King of Planets appeared majestic yesterday as recorded by Damian Peach. This mammoth gas giant could contain more than 1,300 Earths, and yet measures only about one-tenth the diameter of the Sun. Happy weekend!
