Calmly narrating key flight milestones while pulling three g’s, then likening her astronaut Overview Effect to seeing her children right seconds after giving birth. Name a more iconic @TheSpaceGal moment. So happy for Emily!!! 👩‍🚀👸🏻

Thanks to a generous donation from @fastplants - I’m able to FLY and GIVE AWAY 100,000 seeds from my launch to space. Who wants Space Seeds upon my return? 🌱🙋🏻‍♀️

Here’s the 4th of 10 items I’m bringing to space - my SCIENCE. I’m furthering plant research from the Space Force. AND I’m bringing 100,000 Fast Plant seeds with me to distribute to students across the country. 🌱

Awesome you’re giving stds opportunities for extended investigations for figuring things out! Especially with plants! 🌱👏

Students in AP Biology designed an experiment using Wisconsin Fast plants to test genetic traits. Here, they are planting and waiting for growth. The experiment will take 6-8 weeks to complete. #DHSPioneers #DuchesneAcademics

Great example of strong, stocky Fast Plants seedlings with short hypocotyls because they’re receiving the energy from light they need! #teachersrock
