The #NewAstronauts often hear from returning crews that helping others to suit up for a spacewalk is a one of the most challenging jobs on @Space_Station. @Astro_FarmerBob did an amazing job in that role today helping @Astro_Raja and me practice at @NASA_Johnson.

Had a great time with Administrator @JimBridenstine and my #newastronauts classmates discussing our training on nasa.gov/watchthisspace.
Check out pictures from today's LIVE episode of Watch This Space with @JimBridenstine and the newest class of astronaut candidates where they talked about their training experiences, hopes for future space exploration missions, and more. 📸 - flic.kr/s/aHsmsNnWhA

Had a great time today seeing the aeronautics work at @NASA_Langley
Hot? We’ve got quite a fan in our 14x22 wind tunnel! The 40-foot diameter fan includes nine wooden Sitka Spruce blades and is powered by a solid cyclo-converter type drive with a 12,000 HP synchronous motor. Pictured: NASA Astronaut Candidate Class of 2017

Formation flying in the @NASA T38 is great training for fast-paced operational teamwork. It's a treat getting to fly with my #newastronauts classmates, including @Astro_FarmerBob, @lunarloral, and @Astro_Kutryk.

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.

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.

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/…
