How do you do an emergency eyewash aboard the @Space_Station? @Astro_Raja tries out the equipment: an elegantly simple modified set of swim goggles.

Congrats to my students and colleagues at @MIT on their continued testing of our unmanned air vehicle capable of 5 days endurance, sized via gpkit.readthedocs.org. Super exciting progress. dvidshub.net/video/607846/mi…

Climbing out of San Angelo, Matt and I got a light indicating our gear doors were not up and locked. Luckily we were in formation with @Astro_FarmerBob and @zenanaut, who confirmed we were all buttoned up. Great training and teamwork.

Last week, the Turtles went to Maine for some survival training. We learned how to build shelters, make fire, land navigate, acquire/prepare food, etc. It was also a great time for team bonding and team building! #newastronauts

Congratulations to the @Space_Station crew on a successful spacewalk today! Yesterday suit engineers helped me complete my suit fit check -- a first step in my own long road to becoming qualified.

Professor Hawking was an incredible scientist, personality, and educator. Long may his remarkable story and work inspire us to look past our own front door.

Visiting the #J85 engines in the hangar is always a treat. These engines can produce nearly 5000 lbf thrust with afterburner (each!). That’s some concentrated kick.

Was quite humbling learning from @Tungsten_Flight about the placement of Apollo 1, Challenger, and Columbia patches in mission control. nitter.vloup.ch/Tungsten_Flight/…
