    What an amazing day. Doing things I’ve never done. All thanks to an amazing group of instructors that kept us safe throughout and taught us so much. All skills we will need to enter the depths of Earth.

    #ThrowbackThursday to when I met @AOC and her staff prior to visiting students in the Bronx. Hopefully one of those students will be inspired to journey to the Moon and Mars! #Artemis

    Before the Challenger disaster, teacher-turned-astronaut Christa McAuliffe had planned lessons to teach from space. As a tribute her legacy, @astro_ricky & @AstroAcaba filmed her lessons on the space station. Get the downloadable lesson plans & videos at nasa.gov/audience/fored….

    I missed weather the most! Living in air conditioning for 6 months is a long time.

    Space stinks - literally! It has a very unique odor, some people love it and others do not. It does linger on space suits and supplies.

    Yes, you have to be very well organized in space because things will float away and disappear. Being organized on Earth is a good thing too!

    #AskAstro Were there any habits you developed on the space station which have transfered back to Earth?

    The biggest adjustment I'm having is with my vestibular system, aka balancing. My back muscles are also feeling tight.
