Happy Year of the Horse! I was fortunate to be looking out of the Cupola while we were passing over Beijing, and saw the twinkling of fireworks celebrating the Lunar New Year!
Ten years ago today we launched on the final flight of an American treasure - the Space Shuttle. Spending day with STS-135 crewmates Fergy and Sandy at KSC.
Here is the full length version of our Astronaut Roundtable with Peggy Whitson, Mike Lopez-Alegria, Charlie Bolden and I. Such a pleasure to share space memories with these amazing colleagues and the rest of our talented Axiom Space team.
Now available in full: A wide-ranging conversation among @CommanderMLA, @AstroPeggy, @cboldenjr, and @Astro_Rex about Earth, space, humanity, celebrity, meaning, and memories.
Set aside some time today to hear something you've never heard before.

Here is the first of two longer segments from our Axiom astronaut Round Table. It was a pleasure to share memories of flying in space with Peggy Whitson, Mike Lopez-Alegria, and Charlie Bolden.
Space changes you.

I’m pleased to announce that after 35 years of government service, I have joined @Axiom_Space as Director of Safety & Mission Assurance. With this team's expertise and commercial energy, I look forward to carrying on the work we began at NASA to settle and utilize Low Earth Orbit
In honor of National Parks Week, here is a pic of Glacier National Park we took from Space Shuttle Atlantis in Feb 2008. Can see Kalispell, Whitefish, @GlacierNPS and @WatertonLakesNP. One my areas anywhere! #FindYourPark @NatlParkService

Six years ago we launched on STS-135, final Shuttle mission. @Commercial_Crew to bring launches back to US soon. It's going to be awesome!
Pictures I took from our NASA T-38 as we flew over @TAMU last Friday about noon during training flight at College Station airport.
Watched great SpaceX launch at KSC today on 14th anniversary of my first Space Shuttle launch, STS-110. What a day!
