- #HurricaneIda from @Space_Station just before noon CDT today. If you are/have been in its path, I’m thinking of you and hoping you stay safe.
- Getting ready to come home and these last few nights of aurora viewing from @Space_Station have felt like a gift. Hopefully some of you are enjoying the view from the other side too!
- So this guy is pretty great, right?As @AstroBehnken adjusts from our #LaunchAmerica mission, his wife @Astro_Megan is preparing for her upcoming Crew-2 mission, which will be @SpaceX's second operational flight of the Dragon Endeavour spacecraft to the @Space_Station:
00:00 - I’m starting to learn night photography from our local @Space_Station experts, @Thom_astro and @astro_kimbrough. I like this image I took of Italy, reminds me of my sparkly boots on Earth! 🤩
- I don’t know why, but it made me laugh out loud to realize I was spotting an airplane in flight while taking photos over Alberta, Canada today. I guess it was nice to see evidence of other humans moving around Planet Earth. Where ya headed, friends?
- This is the picture I was waiting for! What a day!.@NASA astronauts @AstroBehnken and @Astro_Doug smile and give a thumbs up after the @SpaceX Crew Dragon Endeavour's hatch was opened. flic.kr/s/aHsmPMDDof
- Is it weird that after 100 days on @Space_Station, when I see a small piece of lint or food float by, my body still reacts like “SPIDER!!”🕷a split second before my brain can chime in with, “Relax, you’re in space, remember? No spiders.”?🕸
- Strapped in to the vehicle felt just like being in the simulator! A testament to good training.SpaceX and @NASA completed a full rehearsal of launch day activities with the four Crew-2 astronauts
