"The Space Dads" reflect on their time in space.
“I personally feel it’s our obligation to share what we see… to bring as much of the experience to everybody back on Earth."
“If the weather at our splashdown location is right, next week at this time @SpaceX’s Crew Dragon Endeavour will no longer be docked to the front of @Space_Station. My family is excited! #LandAmerica”
“NASA astronauts Bob and Doug and give a thumbs up after the @SpaceX Crew Dragon Endeavour’s hatch was opened.”
“Welcome home astronauts @Astro_Doug and @AstroBehnken, the first crew to complete a mission to the @Space_Station aboard a spacecraft commercially built and operated by @SpaceX, and the first crew to splash down since 1975!”
“Teams from @NASA & @SpaceX continue to monitor weather, but we’re still on track for departure this weekend. Looking forward to climbing back into Endeavour for our trip home. #LandAmerica”
“I never get tired of this view from the Cupola as our orbit transitions into night.”
“I never get tired of this view from the Cupola as our orbit transitions into night.”
“Today we kicked off a new series of droplet formation studies here on @Space_Station. Enabling research like this to continue is a prime example of why @Commercial_Crew was so important. Why are we here? #BecauseScience!”
“Incredible colors as Namibia meets the Atlantic.”
“Two of the best ever Spacewalkers, each on their 10th EVA today. Congratulations on an amazing accomplishment @Astro_SEAL and @AstroBehnken!”
“Our beautiful Blue Marble.”
“First moments of sunrise from @Space_Station.”
“Mauritania on the Atlantic coast of Africa has stunning reds that always have me reaching for a camera.”
“The Quirimbas in Mozambique.”
“Night images of Karachi and Lahore, Pakistan.”
“Perth Australia at night. The land outside the city seems as dark as the Indian Ocean. And, thanks @astro_Pettit for encouraging all of the @NASA_Astronauts to pursue images of cities at night!”
“Lightning from above. The violet fringes are mesmerizing.”
“Sun glint as we pass over Baja.”
“The Sobradinho Reservoir and São Francisco River in Brazil.”
Florida, Cuba, and the Bahamas. Planet Earth, beautiful and round. #WednesdayWisdom”
“Noctilucent or ‘night-shining’ clouds highlight Earth’s upper atmosphere at twilight.”
“This light blue ocean swirl caught my eye as we flew over the South Pacific.”
“@NASA_Astronauts have several tools to locate & identify places of interest on the ground. One feature on the “WorldMap” application we have onboard is simulating an out the window view. It’s spot on!”
“Last night’s fireworks, for real. Because Science. #NEOWISE #comet”
The view from Dragon today @Space_Station.”
“This is the first time in human history @NASA_Astronauts have entered the @Space_Station from a commercially-made spacecraft. @AstroBehnken and @Astro_Doug have finally arrived to the orbiting laboratory in @SpaceX’s Dragon Endeavour spacecraft.”
“Just awesome to be back in space and on @Space_Station!”
“When nerves and apprehension turn into exhilarating pride. #crewdragon #endeavour #falcon9”
“Huge thank you to @NASA, @SpaceX, and America for making this possible!”
“Launch Day. In America. Again.”
Absolutely! Looking forward to spending some “off” time there over the next few days. https://t.co/Lia9QTf41E
