I’m #almost50 & reflecting on my life. It’s a sad birthday for me because my parents are both gone & crazy times. I’ve got a box of stuff from my mom that I’m determined to go through to #celebrate my #life & their story. This is my only photo of just me & my parents!❤️ #mystory
Love watching @sen! 🚀
Watch Dragon complete a 180° spin above the Indian Ocean as sunrise breaks across Earth’s horizon. Captured 13 hours a go while the ISS performed an Optimized Propellant Maneuver (OPM)🚀
ASE Life Member @DrSianProctor performed her @inspiration4x seat-winning poem, "Space2inspire," at today's @airandspace Futures in Space exhibit opening!
Today my @SpaceX @inspiration4x spacesuit went on display in the Smithsonian @airandspace museum. Nothing but gratitude for everyone who made this into a reality starting with my commander @rookisaacman! Thank you to @MikeMongo for this beautiful article.🙏🏽👩🏾🚀🚀🌎

I love my @SpaceX @inspiration4x spacesuit and can’t believe she’ll be on display in the @airandspace next week in the new Futures in Space exhibit. I’ll be there Monday from 11-12 for a Q&A with Space History curator Emily Margolis. Come say hi! 👋🏾👩🏾🚀🚀🙏🏽 airandspace.si.edu/whats-on/event…
Thanks to @haleykesparza I have this @SpaceX selfie cam image. I look ghostly against the stunning #EarthLight. I think I might have been talking to Bono from U2 at that moment because it looks like I’m holding the microphone and I remember floating in the cupola talking to him.
Her name is Leo! 👩🏾🚀🚀 Come join me on July 28th, 11-12 pm, at the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum’s new “Futures in Space” exhibition. I’ll be hanging out near “Leo” my SpaceX Inspiration4 spacesuit so come say hello and check out all the cool new artifacts! Free tickets online.

Love sending my @Patreon supporters surprise gifts like my new Space Poet book. They are the reason why I was able to become an artist way back in 2020!! 🙏🏽❤️
Thanks @DrSianProctor for the signed Space Poet book & art postcards! Truly inspiring! Now to find a better way to display so all can enjoy. 🚀✨ #SpaceArt #Space2Inspire
When you realize you are in the lowest 25th percentile for US net worth and yet you are one of only ~700 hundred people who have seen this view from space. I am poor financially yet rich with life changing experiences. Did I make the right life choices?🤔🚀🌎
Got lots of amazing photos from my time in space but the one photo I’ve always been sad that wasn’t taken was me in the SpaceX Cupola. @SpaceX released photos of all my other crew members but not one of me. I’ve asked for it with no response so I’m thinking it was never taken. 😭
Just read the negative comments that people leave & see how many of them you feel compelled to agree with based on nothing but your own biased beliefs. How many black women do you follow? Are you friends with? Do you actively support? You truly care about? Then ask yourself why🤔
Black women are the most educated group in America by degree —associate’s, bachelor’s, and graduate degrees. They earn more degrees per capita than any other group, including white men and white women. More than 60% of all degrees earned by Black students go to Black women. And…
Go to the Smithsonian to see both the space shuttle Discovery and also my spacesuit! One maybe leaving for Texas but the other is going on display starting July 28th in Washington, DC! @SPACEdotcom @inspiration4x
The "One Big Beautiful Bill," now enacted, directs that space shuttle Discovery be removed from the Smithsonian and placed on display at Space Center Houston by January 2027. space.com/space-explorat…
Happy Independence Day to a nation founded on the courage to dream, the resilience to overcome challenges, & the boldness to explore the unknown. I look forward to a future where we push beyond limits, lift each other up, & continue to explore with compassion & curiosity. 🇺🇸🚀🌎
Final photo from ISDC 2025 (a week later!): Absolutely LOVE this dress featuring @DrSianProctor's artwork! See more items at her website here! --> space2inspire.art
Got the time… expect more flying videos. MiG-29 and AlphaJets at @EAA Oshkosh in 3 weeks...plus some patriotic F-5s showing up later this summer 🇺🇸
I had a chance to catch up with @rookisaacman about his run for NASA administrator, his future and of course, jets! I'm always excited to learn more about what Jared's got going on!!! Thanks for your time Jared! Enjoy!
