It looks so simple, but there's incredible engineering scrutiny behind parachutes that bring humans back from space. With this test Boeing Space is one step closer. Can't wait to see them fly.

A few thousand D-Day veterans may be still alive; the youngest are in their late 90s.  Words can never express our gratitude for what was surely the Longest Day of their lives in 1944.

William M. Bryant gave his life in Vietnam defending his battalion. He was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for “conspicuous gallantry...above and beyond the call of duty”. On Memorial Day we remember William and all who paid the ultimate price serving their country.

There's just something about watching a rocket launch... This summer we'll take our NASA crew along for the ride.

Managing the heat dissipation of atmospheric re-entry is an amazing science. Part of the reason for the gray tint to the Crew Module paint too.

These seeds complement the hops that also made the trip for an aged-in-space, 'out of this world' Simcoe Lager.

Wishing a successful ride for Nicole Mann and Josh Cassada and the whole crew on today's SpaceX launch. It's been a privilege working with them; looking forward to seeing their smiling faces on @ISS soon

Richard Liam Berry was killed by an IED in Kandahar, Afghanistan in 2012. Today we remember Richard and all of those who paid the ultimate price in the service of their country.
