An astronaut brought a @spittinchiclets flag up to the @Space_Station and took a picture of it in the cupola overlooking Earth.

Ed Gibson’s suit from Skylab 4 at the NASA experience @ChabotSpace. Crew 1 had a chance to talk with Ed on our recent mission to ISS.
Having a blast celebrating the grand opening of The NASA Experience, the new @NASAAmes visitor center at @ChabotSpace in Oakland, CA.
The last week has been spent getting used to 1g again & life during a pandemic-Crew 1 received our 1st vaccine shot today
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.
Said goodbye to our crewmates and the @Space_Station. Time to buckle up for our ride back home. Go Crew-1!
Undocking confirmed! After 167 days in space – the most for a U.S. spacecraft since the final Skylab mission in 1974 – NASA’s @SpaceX Crew-1 astronauts are coming home. Splashdown is set for 2:57am ET (6:57 UT). Ask questions using #LaunchAmerica.
Coming home soon! It’s been a great mission with great teams both on the ground and on @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 @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
Resilience welcomed her sibling Endeavor to the @Space_Station. Perfect docking and great to have 11 crew members on board. Welcome, Crew 2!
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. #EarthDay #ConnectedByEarth
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.
I didn’t think the views could get any better, then my crewmate @Astro_Soichi took this night timelapse from Resilience and I was blown away.
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 @Space_Station.
Successfully relocated the penthouse suite of @Space_Station yesterday! Resilience is viewing the world from a new perspective.

Soft capture confirmed of the @SpaceX Crew Dragon to the space-facing port of the Harmony module. nasa.gov/live
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 @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.
Here are some long exposures of the @Space_Station flying going over @NotreDame's campus this past week and weekend. Looking forward to speaking with you guys today!
Watch live at 3:55 p.m. ET: go.nd.edu/space.
Sometimes on a day off, you just have to stare at the clouds. Beautiful views from Crew Dragon Resilience.
Views from this weekend’s spacewalk with @AstroVicGlover where we completed tasks to upgrade the @Space_Station's cooling system and communications gear…aka more WiFi in space!
