I think NASA's problem solving approach is an exceptional one, and it's something I've carried with me to this day. No one on the team ever says a problem is unsolvable (when you're living 250 miles above the Earth 'unsolvable' is not an option), instead we attack the problem…
Happy National Pilots day to all of those who love to fly!
I'm a (very) small town farm girl who had a big dream; I have found over the years that living a little bit outside of my comfort zone has continuously gotten me to my next step and maybe even to a step that I wouldn't have reached otherwise. You will never know what you might…
Congratulations to @Astro_Rayyanah for being awarded @MiddleEastInst's Visionary Award. This award is a true testament to her extraordinary talents and exceptional skills. Congrats, Rayyanah! #Ax2

Winter survival training was hard for me because I don't like to be cold! Luckily for me, this session only lasted one day since we had all previously been through the training; it was also unseasonably warm (near freezing), but not warm enough to melt the ice - if there is…
Interestingly, when I got to orbit on my first flight it took about three weeks for me to actually feel hungry. I was only eating because it was time to eat. My theory for part of that delay in appetite is that in space you don't smell the food while it's cooking (more accurately…
This photo was taken shortly after we arrived on @Space_Station for Expedition 50/51. I had spent more than a year in space prior to this picture and that made the switch to microgravity mode much quicker. It's different for everyone, but my body loves being in an environment…
My vantage point is very different for today's solar eclipse than it was in 2017 when I was on the @Space_Station and we passed the eclipse three different times. Orbiting roughly 250 miles above Earth, we were high enough to see the full shadow of the Moon!
During an Expedition 16 spacewalk @Astro_Tani and I installed the umbilical tray (power, data and thermal lines) to connect the heat rejection system on the truss to Node 2, with a matching set for redundant systems on the port side of the @Space_Station. The truss holds a lot of…
After unpacking some cargo we had an empty extra-large cargo bag so @Thom_astro and @astro_kimbrough zipped me up in it and took me over to the Russian segment for unpacking. Our crew mate Oleg Novitsky was quite surprised when I popped out! Possibly my favorite space prank ever.…
Going back to space on Ax-2 was a dream come true. I retired from NASA in 2018, expecting I would ever have the chance to go to space again. Commercial spaceflight enabled by @Axiom_Space was a new chapter for me. Ax-2 was the first time I ever commanded a launch and entry…

Great questions from the University of Florida students! Thanks @accentspeakers for having me.
Great questions from the University of Florida students! Thanks @accentspeakers for having me.
The @Space_Station is a learning tool and a stepping stone that will help us explore further into the universe. Right now we're learning lessons about our life support systems, how to fix hardware, and how to move towards being a completely independent closed-loop system, which…

Space is a team sport that requires passion and dedication. I was aboard @Space_Station in 2017 when Hurricane Harvey hit Houston. Station had to keep running, despite the emergency on the ground, so Mission Control broke into three skeleton teams that took turns sleeping on cots…
