Feels great to be back on Earth! I might miss the views outside of my Resilience room window tonight, but I’m happy to be home.

Coming home soon! It’s been a great mission with great teams both on the ground and on International Space Station. Here are some of my favorite memories from the past 6 and a half months on-orbit…

Research Crew-1 conducted aboard the International Space Station could help develop better fire safety codes, grow plants on future long-duration space missions, better understand muscle loss, develop new disease treatments, and more! go.nasa.gov/3aoWxGn

I’m convinced I have the best view in the galaxy! Out of all of the planets in the universe, Earth is by far my favorite. Looking forward to coming home in a week.

Had a visitor yesterday checking out SpaceX Crew Dragon Resilience. Making sure the capsule is in good shape for our return to Earth in a few weeks.

Stunning. I don’t know how else to describe the nighttime views from the eyes of spaceship Resilience, located at her new home on “top” of International Space Station.

Slipped back into our spacesuits for the upcoming port relocation of SpaceX Crew Dragon Resilience on Monday. We'll take a short ride in Dragon to move from the Harmony forward port to the Harmony zenith port in order to make room for our new crewmates!

Stop and smell the flowers! Checking in on the Pak Choi that I've been growing on International Space Station. This is part of Veggie - an experiment studying crop production in microgravity that could help astronauts become more self-sufficient on long-duration missions to the Moon or Mars.

Views from this weekend’s spacewalk with Victor Glover where we completed tasks to upgrade the International Space Station's cooling system and communications gear…aka more WiFi in space!

Crew Dragon Resilience watched as NASA ground controllers released a pallet that will eventually burn up in the atmosphere.
