On this day that young man was the first human to fly in space, orbiting Earth once, ejecting to land under parachute, near where his spaceship bounced to a stop. Yuri Gagarin, I salute your pioneering bravery.

Before I was an astronaut I was a test pilot, finding new ways to recover an F-18 after it went out of control. We learned a lot & made flying safer - but good to have an ejection seat, just in case.

Butch, Suni and Nick will talk about their extended space mission today at 2:30 pm EDT. Will be good to hear the complete story directly from them, especially the extra science they accomplished, now that their initial physical rehab is complete. watch live: youtu.be/Nm6S_DD3F04

If you're looking for a fascinating evening in May in Canada, I highly recommend Alice Roberts. She sees the history of all of us like no one I know. (tour details: alice-roberts.co.uk/tour @profaliceroberts.bsky.social)

Test-launching a new rocket is immensely complex and most often unsuccessful. Lots to learn from for Isar Aerospace. Glad no one was hurt and the pad is undamaged. (videos: @vgnett.bsky.social @nasaspaceflight.com)
