Undergoing gravity rehab and nearly back to being an earthling. Gravity is good but adapting back to gravity can take awhile. Of the photos I've taken Exp 72 is some of my proudest work! To resume posting soon.

The SpaceX Dragon cargo craft is set to return children's books and robotic hardware back to Earth. The station crew also tried a new bite-sized burger recipe and conducted cancer research in space. #SpaceToGround

Nichole and Anne pack up MISSE samples for return to Earth. MISSE exposed materials and tech to the harsh space environment outside International Space Station. This platform helps design more durable materials and tech for future space missions. go.nasa.gov/45b1jUT

A nighttime pass over the Eastern and Southern United States. I was astounded at the scale of recent thunderstorms … some of these flashes are as large as cities!

Soooooo much going on in this picture. This shot came from a time-lapse sequence that I set up in the Cupola. You can see Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama, with South America off in the distance. The first eye-catching thing is the lightning strike just north of Panama City.
