"It is a powerfully emotional experience, and it's even more so when people you know and love are on board."
@Astro_Raja and Kayla Barron, from our newest "Turtles" class of @NASA_Astronauts, get a shoutout from classmate @Astro_Woody during our #Crew3 Administrator Briefing:

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!
NASA astronaut Chris Cassidy handed over station command today to Roscosmos cosmonaut Sergey Ryzhikov. Cassidy will return to Earth on Wednesday with two Expedition 63 crewmates.
Good early morning from @NASA_Johnson. A new day but the same team, same console, and the same mission - get a Dragon into orbit and eventually docked with @Space_Station. Try 2, hoping for better weather.
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!
A year of progress. One year ago, @VP Pence announced plans for @NASA_Astronauts to return to the surface of the Moon.
See all that we’ve accomplished in the last year with our #Artemis program: youtube.com/HhBUmxEOfpc
This is a great explanation of the Artemis program @NASA_Astronauts will use for the Moon & beyond. @NASA put some really complex ideas into a format that even kids (or us adults that like cartoons) can understand. How We Are Going to the Moon - 4K youtube.com/_T8cn2J13-4
"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_Woodygo.nasa.gov/36HVwFq
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…
This flight test will pave the way for crewed #Starliner missions to the @Space_Station as part of our program.
Live launch coverage begins at 5:30 a.m. ET: nasa.gov/live
I'm privileged to consider this spectacular group of people, my family. We've grown, bonded through challenges, learned from our failures, and leaned on each other during tough times. We look forward to our next steps as we join the @NASA_Astronauts Corps.
After over 2 years of multi-disciplinary training & teamwork, our astronaut candidates are graduating to full astronaut status! On Jan. 10, watch as we celebrate their achievement & discuss possible future destinations -- to the Moon with #Artemis or Mars! go.nasa.gov/2M8gNzS
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
Finished NBL qual w@lunarloral, lots of training ahead & while waiting for msn assignment lucky that I get to work@Commercial_Crew doing testing for @SpaceX & @BoeingSpace to launch vehicles to @Space_Station theatlantic.com/science/arch…
