…It’s also a testament to NASA’s commitment to explore For All and By All. We take this commitment with us to the moon with NASA Artemis!

Stepping onto the rocket, stepping off the planet. Four years ago today, we set off as a crew to the International Space Station and as part of a huge team committed to exploration for the benefit of Earth.

New astronauts onboard the International Space Station in the last couple weeks already pros in their new home doing science to benefit life on Earth and maintenance to keep the microgravity lab running at full speed!

For #womenshistorymonth, we see how crews on International Space Station with multiple women are finally becoming common. Why’s this matter? To me, it’s making more successful missions and a world where people with a dream work equally hard to reach that dream. Here’s to my own astro sisters!

On this last day of #womenshistorymonth, shouting out to the space station builders, science doers, equipment fixers, systems upgraders, flight controllers, leaders, operators, space walkers, and fitness crushers that make the International Space Station successful. nasa.gov/mission_pages/…

Long overdue reunion! Delayed 3 yrs, our Expedition 60-61 NASA crew received spaceflight medals and reflected on the privilege of serving, alongside our families. We took a moment to do our favorite on-orbit tradition, the Huggle! (It’s a little more fun when you’re floating.)

This week, we got a new crew, a new mission. And, we reaffirmed our forever crew and mission—an ARCHIVED NASA Astronauts Corps that lifts each other up to be our best for human exploration.

It was a week where we got to tell the @NASAartemis in many ways. Recapping here this this week to keep the sharing going. Because, We are going! youtu.be/7XzhtWcepos

You stood.  All of you.   You stood for taking on the challenge. For doing things that are hard. For exploring together.   Of all the things we did last week to introduce Artemis II, this unexpected standing ovation was the moment I realized—You’re all behind this. We are going.

Every time I do STEM outreach, I leave feeling sure that I got more out of it than the students.  No exception last week when we got to share some space design demos with students after the NASA Artemis II crew announcement.  Thank you!!

The crew met some of the youngest members of the Artemis Generation, pre-kindergartners from the NASA Goddard Child Development Center, as part of their visit.
