What a great accomplishment! The first commercial human space launch using the SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket and the first manned launch from US soil in 9 years, since the retiring of the Space Shuttle program. “The trampoline is working!” – Elon Musk. Congratulations to all the people involved! #nasa #SpaceX #iss #CrewDragon #Falcon9 #elonmusk NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine

This should be an inspiration to the whole world. Look what we can accomplish when we work together, every human being no matter what race, gender, sexual orientation or nationality. We have lost the conversation about our common goals and need to start talking about them again, get the media to start talking about them again, get the politicians to start talking about them again, GET ALL OF HUMANITY to start talking about them again! Never in the history of mankind has division and hate lead to anything positive. Civilizations throughout history were built on cooperation and fell with division, not only division, but complacency. We must be forever vigilant in the fight for unity and peace. #peace #unity #human #humanity #cooperation #commongoals #overvieweffect

The crew from the SpaceX CrewDragon capsule is welcomed to the ISS.

NASA Discusses Discovery of Earth-Size, Habitable-Zone Planets

Original air date: Feb. 22, 2017 10 a.m. PT (1 p.m. ET, 1800 UTC) NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope has revealed the first known system of seven Earth-size planets around a single star. Three of these planets are firmly located in the habitable zone, the area around the parent star where a rocky planet is most likely to have liquid water. The discovery sets a new record for greatest number of habitable-zone planets found around a single star outside our solar system. All of these seven planets could have liquid water — key to life as we know it — under the right atmospheric conditions, but the chances are highest with the three in the habitable zone. The briefing participants were: Thomas Zurbuchen, associate administrator of the Science Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters in Washington Michael Gillon, astronomer at the University of Liege in Belgium Sean Carey, manager of NASA’s Spitzer Science Center at Caltech/IPAC, Pasadena, California Nikole Lewis, astronomer at the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore Sara Seager, professor of planetary science and physics at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge For more information on exoplanets, visit: http://exoplanets.nasa.gov
