Finished reading #ChasingSpace, the autobiography of @lelandmelvin aloud to the kids over the past two weeks. It was so great and the kids loved it! Also, he spoke about the things he has faced as a Black man, and how incredible it was to have the first TWO African-Americans on the International Space Station at the same time. It was a perfect story to go with the other books I’ve started reading the boys to teach them more about the Black community, not to mention to really foster their love of science and space. Thank you for sharing this story, Mr. Melvin. #autobigraphy #blacklivesmatter #astronaut @NASA #hoopla https://www.instagram.com/p/CCe7n0CFrzzvdQZhVirlqbOP7Fag8OSdgljMMY0/?igshid=ednh4laff4jk

Poetry by local NASA astronaut (and dog lover) Leland Melvin! I just finished his book Chasing Space about his life as a football player turned scientist turned astronaut turned STEAM educator. I shook his hand once and was truly struck by his spirit! I wish everyone could see our plant from space and appreciate what a gorgeous & precious home we have found ourselves on here in the cosmos. 🌎✨ . . . #currentlyreading #amreading #chasingspacethebook🚀 #chasingspace #leelandmelvin #nasaastronaut #bookstagram #space #astronaut #poetry #earthlover https://www.instagram.com/p/BoCiAuxF6ED/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1tvzzw7z2zppj
