Two years ago today, I went for the ride of a lifetime: down through the Martian atmosphere to my new home. Go behind the scenes with the people who got me here and learn more about what it took to survive the “Seven Minutes of Terror.” 🔊 Listen: go.nasa.gov/3yfvIAu

Join me LIVE Sunday (11:30am ET), on the CBS Sunday Morning 🌞 Morning Facebook page, for a conversation with NASA’s Mars helicopter lead, Teddy Tzanetos! He’ll tell the incredible story of Ingenuity, the copter designed to fly 5 times and die—and yet is STILL FLYING, over a year later!

The folks at Jalopnik bringing the fire! Can’t love this enough. Thanks for having our backs. jalopnik.com/its-not-the-bi…

It's a privilege and a thrill to be part of such an amazing experience.

Flying into the future. 🚁 NASA's Ingenuity Mars helicopter has proven we can do the impossible – fly on Mars. But not only has the #MarsHelicopter made history with its nearly 50 flights, it's also influencing future exploration on the Red Planet.

Hit that ❤️ to send your congrats to the #MarsHelicopter team, who gathered for a team photo today in celebration of the second anniversary of Ingenuity's historic first flight.

When I recently dropped 10 lightsabers – I mean *sample tubes* – on Mars, I was laying the groundwork for a potentially thrilling sequel. Future droids may recover this special cache. Meanwhile, there’s more to do on this desert planet… #MayThe4thBeWithYou

NASA is currently collecting samples on the surface of Mars to bring back to Earth. And what it finds could change the way we see space. Astrobiologist Dr Lindsay Hays explains what she’ll be looking for with Alex Ossola on ‘The Future of Everything’. share.harkaudio.com/ifi8qGStdh6ib1…

There’s space for everyone this #PrideMonth, and we’re celebrating the LGBTQI+ employees who help us reach for the stars, examine humanity’s place in the universe, and study our home planet: go.nasa.gov/3C9ncnU

Space for all 🏳️‍🌈 As part of our #PrideMonth celebration, we unveiled the Pride flag on Lab, a visual reminder that inclusivity is one of NASA JPL's core values and that by fostering a diverse and equitable work environment, we can Dare Mighty Things Together.

Thrilled to be at NASA’s Moon to Mars Industry Workshop! This gathering of brilliant minds will shape the future of space exploration. Let's harness the power of collaboration between NASA and our commercial partners to propel our M2M strategy toward long-lasting success.

~Jimmy Buffett 1946 - 2023~ Jimmy Buffett co-founded Save the Manatee Club with former US senator & FL governor Bob Graham. We will be forever grateful for his immense contributions to protecting the FL manatee and his many followers who have supported manatees for over 40 years.

Thank you, Ingenuity. You amazed us. You inspired us. You reminded us of what can happen when great minds and great determination are combined. Rest well. NASA JPL NASA #ThanksIngenuity

Look closely 👀 These “leopard spots” on a Martian rock are clues pointing to possibly the best signs of ancient microbial life we’ve found yet on Mars. To know for sure, we need to study the rock in labs on Earth. More on ARCHIVED - NASA's Perseverance Mars Rover's findings: go.nasa.gov/4bZaB6p
