This was a fun way to start the 15th Anniversary events for STS-135 a couple weeks ago. Thank you @ExploreSpaceKSC!

The kind of Earth view that makes astronauts go, “Holy cow.” 🌎 On this month’s episode of We Choose to Go to Kennedy, dive into stories of the final flight of the shuttle program from the very astronauts that flew STS-135.

Got the band back together for the STS-135 15th Anniversary events at the KSC Visitors Center last weekend. Great reuniting with friends, colleagues, and so many people from across the US and all over the world that came to celebrate. Always special to see Atlantis again.

Today in 2020, the Crew Dragon Endeavour spacecraft splashed down in the Gulf of Mexico, completing the Demo-2 mission, as SpaceX successfully launched NASA astronauts from American soil and returned them safely to Earth.

STS-127. Hard to put into words what my first flight into space was like and how hard we worked for 16 days. Incredible! Special thanks to @Astro_127! I couldn’t have asked for a better person to lead our flight.

Thirteen years ago! An incredible day and an honor to be part of. If you haven’t seen Atlantis in person you absolutely should.

The final liftoff of the space shuttle 🚀

Atlantis now resides at the @ExploreSpaceKSC.
