A gorgeous moonrise yesterday. Like Frank said, “Fly me to the moon!”

On @nasa’s day of Remembrance, we are reminded of the risks of space exploration. For the sake of the Apollo 1, Challenger and Columbia crews, we must not forget the daily diligence required for success.

Not the first time I have backed up Michael Lopez-Alegria! The next best thing to flying in space is training for it! Looking forward to the commercial evolution with Axiom Space.

In 1962, the Mariner 2 became the first spacecraft to fly by Venus!

Ohhhh, to be able to travel that far (even if I wish it were faster!).

Did you know gray foxes can climb trees? 

They face several threats, both natural and human-caused. Let’s do our best to care for our wildlife!

Friday night was always movie night on the Space Station. I set up comfy ‘couches’ with bungee cords stretched across the hatch and the movie screen was mounted above. Astro2fish (Jack Fischer) took this fish-eye photo (pun intended) of our ISS theater, where we watched a lot of space-themed movies.

‪It is impossible to pick my favorite photo from space. Being on Space Station reminds me that so many diverse perspectives still represent the one planet on which we all live. ‬

In the Virtual Reality Lab at @nasa, training for a spacewalk was sort of like a video game. #NationalVideoGameDay

My dad gave me the first glimpse of Earth from above in a Cessna 150, but he also taught my siblings and me the value of work ethic and a good laugh!

Almost exactly 20 years after Valentina Tereshkova’s legendary flight, Sally Ride made her mark on history #otd in 1983 when she became the first American woman to fly in space.

Thinking of Valentina Tereshkova on the anniversary of her historic flight, leading the way for women in space. ⁣
