True story: #StarTrek had Kirk reporting to a Black flag officer five years before the U.S. Navy had a Black admiral. Representation matters, and Star Trek has always been political.

🚀✨ Happy Star Trek Day! ✨🚀 Today, we celebrate the universe that Gene Roddenberry created—one that continues to inspire exploration, inclusivity, and a vision for a better tomorrow. 🌌🖖 Huge thanks to Jonathan Frakes & @startrekonpplus for creating this wonderful piece!

"No, I AM YOUR FATHER” James Earl Jones gave us the most iconic line in cinema history. Rest in peace to the greatest to ever do it.

I believe James Earl Jones was the last surviving cast member from DR. STRANGELOVE (his first movie). What a career. RIP.

#RIP James Earl Jones who passed away today at the age of 93. Jones was an Army veteran who used the GI Bill to study acting before launching a career that included providing the voice for Darth Vader and portraying Admiral James Greer in THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER.

Opening and closing the hatch on Orion Spacecraft… a little more complicated than your front door at home! @Astro_Reid spent last week learning about the engineering behind the hatch that will stand between the #Artemis II astronauts and deep space.

World record! With this successful launch, there are now 19 people orbiting Earth. And to be clear, everybody has a ride home. whoisinspace.com NASA Don Pettit

There are now 19 people in orbit, a new record.

These 4 are depressurizing their spaceship to zero tonight - Sarah & Jared will go outside. First-ever use of the new SpaceX spacewalking suit. That's no small step, Polaris.

The big, irreversible decision to open the hatch soon. If it doesn’t close properly, the crew would have to do an emergency deorbit with pressurized suits. Serious business.

Congratulations Polaris! Great to see a brand-new spacesuit at work. SpaceX

Told the new trainee that the rope was a pull start. He's been trying to fire up an A320 for the last 40 minutes. Bless.
