Godspeed to @nguyen_amanda - the first female astronaut of Vietnamese heritage - on her maiden voyage in 5 days 🪽 An absolute inspiration for those who seek to reach for the stars 🌟
A personalized mission patch. It honors my family's journey to touch the stars. This is the personal DNA of my flight - from mom's refugee boat, to dad's C-130, to the New Shepard space crew capsule. Came on boats, and now we're on spaceships. L-5 days. 🚀
