Sean Wilson’s Post

If there’s a spacecraft near me, I’m going to take a selfie with it. 🚀 🛰️ One of the most fun connections I have made so far is with my former squadron commander from 2SOPS, Roger Hunter. Complete coincidence and a great flashback to the heyday of GPS. We both agreed it was the best era and the best squadron ever. Great to see you, Big Game! If we haven’t caught up yet, I will be at #spacesymposium until the end of tomorrow.

I’m looking forward to a productive week next week at #SpaceSymposium. If you will be there and want to meet up, please let me know. It’s a packed week, but I always try to make time for connecting. Also - bring a jacket and good shoes! Looks like a little ❄️ on Tuesday.

This would be pretty cool! I always say I am OG Space Force 😂

This event is going to be fantastic. Surely someone in my network either fits this description or knows someone who does. 🚀

I have heard a lot of chatter lately about the intersection of art and space. As an artist who works in the space industry, I am glad to see this topic gain some steam (see what I did there?). Art has the power to educate and inspire, enabling us to grasp the magnificence and allure of space and share our enthusiasm for exploration with audiences outside of the industry. It presents a beautiful platform for discussion and debate on the importance of staying curious and exploring what’s beyond our own backyard. For the space workforce, there is a place for art and non-STEM majors. We are the ones who take engineering and scientific concepts and translate them into beautiful products that compel. Art and space is a symbiotic relationship that should be encouraged, fostered and talked about until it is mainstream. Until that happens, I will continue to do my best to tell the stories of this industry through canvas and paper. After all, the inspiration is infinite.

Do you know a teen who loves space? There’s still time to register them for the Higher Orbits Go For Launch! event on the Space Coast at Kennedy Space Center later this month.

Attention Space Coast friends! If you know an 8-12th grade student who would love the opportunity to learn from space insiders and build an experiment that could possibly launch to space, please register today! We also need sponsors to help make this event a success. Various levels available. If you would like to directly influence the space talent pipeline, let me know and I will connect you.
