"We got to weightlessness, I immediately turned upside down and looked at the planet and then there was so much blackness. There was so much space. I didn’t expect to see so much space, and I kept saying that’s our planet! That’s our planet! It was the same feeling I got when my kids were born, and I was like, ‘That's my baby! That’s my baby!’ I had that same feeling where I’m seeing it for the first time, and it was beautiful."— Emily Calandrelli, NS-28 Astronaut

Love this! So excited to be part of Team Blue. (Also, fun fact - I wrote the app for the NS Crew Displays. It was such a fun project!)

@Marcia Thorne Jorgensen. We use the same guiding principles at Amazon.com and Blue Origin Space. Therefore, because this Awesome Workforce Team(s) did such an outstanding job for our last Human Space Flight, Jeffrey Philip Jorgensen, also known as Jeff Bezos, and his wife Marcia Thorne Jorgensen are inviting the employees. To add their names to the list for training to be on the Crew Member Number 7 rotation schedule for our other upcoming Human Space Flights. Contact our Human Resources Department (HR).

So happy to see The Space Gal out there experiencing this and encouraging a new generation to learn and explore, especially showing little girls that this is possible 🚀
