For the past few weeks we’ve been playing chess, ISS vs Mission Control. We each make about one move per day, and flight controllers help us with physically moving our pieces on the board at @NASA_Johnson. We are very much amateur chess players, but we were nevertheless victorious in game one. Game two is already underway!

Had a great time talking with @PostMalone about life on the @Space_Station. He was such a sincere and gracious interviewer.
Houston, we have Posty
As we approach #EarthDay, watch @PostMalone get astronaut-struck as he chats with two crew members aboard the @Space_Station, Stephen Bowen & Woody Hoburg, about how their unique perspective changes the way they see our home planet. nasa.gov/earth-day-2023

Congratulations @Astro_Alneyadi. I know from our training together that you are the ultimate professional. I am so excited to spend 6 months in space with you on the @Space_Station .
Congratulations to my colleague Sultan AlNeyadi on being chosen for the first long-duration Arab astronaut mission, a historic 6-month stint aboard the International Space Station. Sultan exemplifies commitment and passion, and he is the perfect candidate for this mission.

You’ve been a hero since the 2005 X-Prize Cup - you were flying Armadillo hardware (and I was a college kid flying my Flag Rocket for Tripoli). I’ve always hoped I’d run into you again someday. Thanks for being a super inspiring human.

This was a super fun conversation with @Astro_SEAL just a few days after he returned from space.
This week on Down to Earth: Conversations, former NASA astronaut Chris Cassidy (@Astro_SEAL) and astronaut Warren "Woody" Hoburg (Astro_Woody) explore what it's like to adapt to life on station.

Incredibly honored and excited to serve as pilot for the Crew-6 mission to @Space_Station in 2023. I'm so lucky to get to fly with Steve Bowen. Couldn't be happier!
Two @NASA_Astronauts have been chosen to command and pilot the @SpaceX #Crew6 mission to the station. nasa.gov/press-release/two-a…

This is not normal. But it’s great practice. The caution and warning board is full as the mission control team @NASA_Johnson deals with multiple failures during a simulated cargo vehicle rendezvous to @Space_Station

It was an honor to serve as CapCom today as @Astro_SEAL handed over command of the @Space_Station. Chris, Anatoli, and Ivan, safe travels home tomorrow!
.@Astro_SEAL handed over station command today to @Roscosmos cosmonaut Sergey Ryzhikov. The Exp 63 crew returns to Earth on Wednesday live on @NASA TV. More... go.nasa.gov/2SWS3Ob

In 2007 I was a young engineering student looking for internships. I remember being sad that I missed out on the chance to work on Apollo. I couldn't be more excited about today's announcement. One step closer to the Moon!

Good memories from training in the pool
"It was surreal to see the full scale @Space_Station mockup in the Neutral Buoyancy Lab on my first spacewalk training session and experience the “fish bowl effect” created by our spacesuit helmet visor. It feels like you’re in an aquarium."-@Astro_Woody

Great weekend celebrating with our families and the @NASA_Johnson team that trained us to become @NASA_Astronauts !
Our #NewAstronauts have officially graduated! 👨🎓👩🚀 From @space_station system training and learning Russian to wilderness survival and learning how to do a spacewalk, this team can do it all. Check out b-roll from their training here: archive.org/details/Astronau…

Great learning today getting to experience 4.5 G’s through the chest - a loading unique to space vehicles. Arms get heavy and breathing labored, important effects that can influence cockpit design.
Surveying torture chamber of the day at Wright-Patterson AFB with @Astro_Jenni & @Astro_Woody. Simulating G forces on capsule return from space. Different than fighter jets as force pushes into chest in a capsule. In jets it’s from head-feet. @csa_asc
