It was extremely humbling to be recognized among the previous recipients. Huge thank you to NASA for the nomination, to @SpaceX/NASA for making it possible, and Vice President Kamala Harris for taking the time with our families to make the event so special!

The best part of returning home after having completed the 1st crewed flight of SpaceX's Dragon was my son's attempt to take me down at the bottom of the airstairs when I returned to Ellington Field!

Grab your binoculars – it’s skywatching time!
It's almost August, and a new month means new space treats. Scan the morning skies for Mars and Jupiter, look out for bright Perseid meteors, and search for the constellation Cygnus.

Summer nights call for stargazing!

Look out for some of July’s celestial events, including the planets of dawn, the “Dog Days of Summer” and an astronomical teapot pointing to the center of the Milky Way. All this and more in this month's What’s Up: go.nasa.gov/3yAPbvQ

The diversity of the worlds discovered so far is just amazing. NASA Voyager's discoveries sparked my interest in science, and I see NASA Exoplanets is continuing the tradition!

Hard to believe it's been 2yrs since Expedition 63's 1st spacewalk! Without a chance to train together, we relied heavily on simulations for our preparation. Seeing that the predicted shot of our SpaceX Crew Dragon had become reality was a highlight of the photo review for me!

Resilience! Excellent choice for next NASA/SpaceX mission's capsule! Hope Crew-1 turns these or some of our other activities from the crew demo mission into traditions as well:
- Plant a tree!
- Launch/recover a rocket!
- Bring a friend!
- Enjoy the view, and share it!
