Reminder, you're watching the first rocket with humans on it leave the US in nearly a decade.

Perhaps more importantly, this is the first private spacecraft to carry humans to orbit - EVER.

T-5 minutes

#LaunchAmerica
Watch live - RIGHT NOW

This capsule. This capsule is so important.

T- 2 minutes

COUNT
IT
DOWN

#LaunchAmerica
HERE WE GO!

#launchamerica Image
Everything good so far!

#LaunchAmerica Image
Wow, there are humans on top of that rocket!

#LaunchAmerica Image
Stage separation confirmed! Image
That first stage is heading back to Earth and the second stage is bringing Bob and Doug the rest of the way to orbit. Image
Everything nominal (normal - looking good) so far.

#LaunchAmerica
5 minutes into the flight. already 200+ miles away from launch site.

Also - can we appreciate how great these videos are??? ImageImage
The video on the right is the camera on the first stage.

This is heading back to Earth to LAND ITSELF on the drone ship "Of Course I Still Love You" Image
Also...pretty interesting to note that we've never cared about the Stage 1 booster landing less.... I mean, yes it's amazing. But just like... not as exciting as what's going to orbit :)
Live video of the drone ship "Of Course I Still Love You" - IT SUCCESSFULLY LANDED! ImageImage
Dragon separation confirmed - Crew Dragon is ON ITS WAY to the International Space Station!!! Image
"We hope you enjoyed the ride" - SpaceX

"Thanks for the great ride to space" - Bob/Doug

#LaunchAmerica
Feeling the emotions that this team is expressing right now. ♥️ Image
You know who is the last person's opinion I want to hear about right now? the President's.
Reminder, the mission is not over. We can celebrate when Bob and Doug are back home in few months (anywhere from 1-4 months).

But this is such a beautiful start.

I want to use my spaceflight to uplift and shine a spotlight on my home state of West Virginia.

If space travel were a pagent - my platform would be the Mountain State!

I've worked to find some incredible WV teachers and I'm hoping you'll help me clear their wish lists 👇
Here's my friend Therese!

- she moved to West Virginia from the Philippines
- both her and her husband are science teachers
- teaches 7th grade science in Summers County
- has worked a local STEM camp in WV for the last 4 years

Wish List: amzlink.to/az0PJLL32ROMv

Here's my friend Eleni!

-teaches 4th grade at a Title I school in Triadelphia, WV
- Started a robotics club (see a couple of the students she inspired to join below)
- Just had her first baby last year and is returning to teaching this year

Wish List: amzlink.to/az06Kfr4sqX0C

The way that much of the public reacted to OceanGate was unsettling. The dehumanizing and trivializing of human life was incredibly off putting.

Yes, we know why the jokes were made. People are fed up with income inequality. Infuriated at the contrast b/n OceanGate and Greece.
But I want to share a quote that summarized why it was so unsettling from @emilyinurphone over on Insta. She says “the world is a cruel place and rallying around the death of a perceived enemy is a way to build community and inure yourself against your own suffering…. (1/2)
@emilyinurphone …But when you talk about it in the public square you are normalizing this type of conversation around death and dehumanization” (2/2)

Okay, both kids in bed and I'm just now tuning in to #Artemis1.

For an overview of what's happened the last ~6 hours - check out @skrishna's coverage.
Where are you all watching this?
Ahah, I was wondering where everyone was getting live updates. I was watching the wrong NASA live. Here's the one with just launch updates:

Yesterday I took down my posts about how @TSA treated me at @flyLAXairport. I was embarrassed at how emotional I was. I was anxious about the confrontation. So I deleted it.

But they make too many mothers feel this way, so I’m going to talk about it bc this needs to stop 🧵
Here’s what happened. Yesterday was my 1st trip away from my 10wk old son, who I’m currently breastfeeding. I’m going through security at LAX. I brought my pump and 2 ice packs - only 1 of which was cold (I won’t need the other until I come home, when I’ll have more milk).
I didn’t currently have any milk but I was planning to get a last second pumping sesh in before my ~5 hour flight.

Two male TSA agents told me I couldn’t bring my ice packs through bc they weren’t frozen solid. (This is the key part of the story)

This Mother’s Day I want rights over my own body.
The decision (likely to be) made by the Supreme Court has been yrs in the making.
When I was pregnant, we could slowly see this playing out. & let me tell you, it’s pretty awful being pregnant and having pro life family members
🧵
It’s awful knowing that they would prefer you die if it meant that your pregnancy might ultimately end up w/ a birth. Every blood test/scan is terrifying regardless, but especially so when you know that certainly family members prioritized that fertilized embryo over your life.
And if you’re a single issue voter and think “no! We love you! That’s not what I support! Of course if you might die that would be a unique circumstance!”

THIS 👏🏻IS👏🏻THE👏🏻WHOLE👏🏻POINT
