The Astronaut Class of 2009 of which Reid Wiseman and Jeremy Hansen belong has a spacecraft re-entering from deep space on their emblem. Today it happens. Godspeed the crew of Artemis II.

Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine. Et lux perpetua luceat eis. Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord. And let perpetual light shine upon them. He tried to share the true message of Christ in a world too determined to ignore it. Rest in Peace Holy Father.

Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.

Sad to awake to the news about the deaths of Gene Hackman, his wife Betsy Arakawa and their dog yesterday. With over 100 credits no doubt you’ll have a favorite(s). It should come as no surprise that for me it’s his potrayal as astronaut Buzz Lloyd in the 1969 movie “Marooned.” Rest in Peace

NASA selected Boeing and SpaceX to develop and certify commercial crew vehicles in September 2014. The goal was to have US redundancy. Crew Nine is the first real world example of the wisdom of that decision. This patch is a celebration of Commercial Crew.

This is a recreation of a simple plaque I made that hung in the AMF CSE The caption reads: "Dick, Mike, El, Judy, Ron, Greg and Christa: You've touched the future. A teacher taught from space and your assignment has been completed. The Dream is Alive and the mission continues. Rest in Peace.

In the fall of 1985, I wrote to every woman astronaut asking for contributions for scrapbooks I was creating for my niece and daughter. OTD in 1986 Judy Resnik wrote this note for my niece. Ten days after writing it she was killed aboard Challenger. I’ll never forget her kindness.

OTD 47 years ago a new breed of NASA Astronauts was announced. The first of them flew in 1983 and the last (Steve Hawley) flew in 1999. I’m grateful to say some became friends and all of them generously provided inspiration.

Congratulations to Team Blue on the successful first launch of their New Glenn rocket. While the first stage was not recovered the second stage safely delivered the payload to orbit.

OTD in 1979 two hearts became one. Forty-six years ago we promised to love and cherish, for better or worse , in sickness and in health. I can honestly say that every good thing that has happened since then is because of this beautiful, intelligent, wonderful woman with me in this photo.

A New Year A new dawn A new chapter yet to be written. And you are the author. Maybe if we treat each other with respect and human decency, we can be one step closer to world peace. Happy New Year everyone!

This year was rich with inspiration and I was fortunate and grateful to not have much down time between commissions. I’ll be announcing some major news in the New Year and look forward to 2025 with great anticipation. Thank you to all who trusted me to illustrate their vision.

Space Congress announced it so I can share. For the eighth consecutive year I have contributed graphic support for the SPACECOM/51st Space Congress event scheduled for next month. It promises to be the best one yet. I’ll be there and hope you will too. www.spacecomexpo.com?gad_source=1...

In 2014 the ISS Expedition 42 crew celebrated Christmas in orbit. Using their mission patch as inspiration, I depict two astronauts performing an EVA stringing lights. Their National Flag colors compose the contrail and the text is in Russian, English and Italian.

Those of us who remember that magical Christmas Eve 56 years ago and the postage stamp released the next year. The patch depicts Apollo 8 in lunar orbit as the Earth rises above the horizon. APOLLO has a gold L to illustrate the Roman Numeral 50. The 8 is illustrated as in the mission patch.
