- I am growing cabbage on station. I love gardening on Earth, and it is just as fun in space… I just need more room to plant more!

00:00 - Sometimes it is difficult to visualize change over time. Take a look at this one….watch to the end.The clever people at @NASA have created this deceptively simple yet highly effective data visualisation showing monthly global temperatures between 1880-2021. Watch until the end... Learn more here - svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/4975 #ClimateEmergency #ClimateCrisis #climate
00:00 - Handing the baton off to Suni for most spacewalking time for a female. Records are meant to be broken! Congratulations @Astro_Suni!NASA astronaut Suni WIlliams just surpassed former astronaut Peggy Whitson's total spacewalking time of 60 hours and 21 minutes today. Suni is still outside in the vacuum of space removing radio communications hardware. Watch now on @NASA+... go.nasa.gov/406Ko1C
