A little luck and a lot of Grace go a long way (in this case, 250 miles up)!

Each crew’s zero-g indicator is unique. Ours, named Lucky, represents the golden dragon at the center of our Crew-13 patch, which honors the brave and resilient legacy of Apollo 13 on which we stand.

Thinking of Crew-12 today, whose indicator is beginning to drop right about now as they re-enter Earth’s gravity!

We’re getting America underway on nuclear power in space and ushering in the era of a Nuclear NASA.

With the signing of an MOU with @ENERGY, we’re taking the next giant leap toward exploring the outer solar system and sending American astronauts to Mars. Fission power will help us travel farther, operate longer, and power more capable scientific instruments.

Another full day at #IAC2026 with our international and industry partners.

I’m encouraged by their commitment to help us reach the Moon and go beyond, and their willingness to put in the work.

Now it’s on all of us to turn those plans into missions that fly.
