EarthLight Delight!I think there is nothing more delightful than the idea of floating in space overlooking our beautiful world while being bathed in #EarthLight. Welcome home #PolarisDawn and congratulations on a successful mission.
Love it! Beautiful design by Erin!!
John Kraus@johnkrausphotosIt was such an honor to help design this “Snap” coin that flew alongside four crew coins on the Polaris Dawn mission and an even greater honor to see it fly to space. Thank you to our artist friend Erin Bonilla for beautifully turning this idea into reality.I was so blown away when the crew graciously offered this opportunity - thank you - I can’t wait to put the flown coin on display and will cherish it forever.Some insight on the design: The seven stars represent the seven astronauts I have been lucky to befriend from Inspiration4 to Polaris Dawn: Jared, Sian, Hayley, Chris, Kidd, Sarah, and Anna. My silhouette is seen capturing a Falcon 9 rising in front of sunrise, based off one of my all-time favorite photos, but with the fairing swapped out for a Dragon. Other elements include palm trees and birds representing my appreciation for the local Florida nature around the Cape.In the video you can see the flown coin floating in space. Earlier in the mission it reached new heights in Earth orbit during a crewed mission and then was exposed to the vacuum of space during the mission’s spacewalk. The still image is another unit, not flown, captured a few months ago when I saw the coin in-person for the first time. I have kept it on my person for much of the last few months as a good luck token and reminder of the exciting space program whose stories I am lucky to help share. I had it with me all throughout launch day and on the VAB roof during liftoff, knowing that a copy - and a small part of me - was joining the crew in space.Many were made, and one each for the four crew and myself flew - but each coin has a small magnetic insert that pops out. Hundreds of those smaller inserts flew, and we will be able to pop in those small flown parts into the non-flown coins, such that hundreds of coins will have a part that flew.Thanks @rookisaacman for the video! So cool - forever grateful.
Happy #InternationalCoffeeDay Brought to you by space coffee ☕️💫
Sarah Gillis @Gillis_SarahEYou might not be able to tell it’s coffee, but it is! @SpaceX used frozen coffee pouches as the ice cubes in our cooler. Take one out, thaw it, and voilà! Cold-brew coffee! Loved sharing space coffee with you @annawmenon ☕️ ❤️
This is so cool! @rookisaacman @Gillis_SarahE!

Polaris @PolarisProgram 3:08 PM · Apr 7, 2025The Polaris Dawn crew and dozens of principal investigators and scientists convened in Houston, Texas, yesterday to overview the initial findings of the nearly 40 science and research experiments conducted during the Polaris Dawn campaign and its five-day mission in space. We look forward to sharing more details from these experiments soon!
Polaris @PolarisProgram 4:45 PM · Apr 26, 2025Thank you to the Living Legends of Aviation and @TheRealBuzz for honoring the Polaris Dawn crew with the inaugural Dr. Buzz Aldrin Space Advancement Award. Our crew proudly stands on the shoulders of aviation and space legends who paved the way 🚀
Jared Isaacman @rookisaacmanGreat to see Dr. Buzz Aldrin again @TheRealBuzz. It’s been too long since he left his footsteps on the Moon. We owe it to him—and his generation of pioneers—to press forward--to return to the Moon and take the next leap to Mars and beyond. The grand adventure is just beginning.
