Super excited to be flying research experiments from my alma mater CU Boulder 🦬 - the PI on this eye experiment was one of my bioastronautics professors! Sko Buffs! 🦬 💛

It’s dry-dress day! We’ll be walking through a full simulation of launch day, everything before loading fuel on the rocket. Can’t wait to be reunited with Resilience! 🐉🚀

Dry-dress complete, Dragon Resilience looks beautiful inside! The new car smell was successfully removed by the SpaceX materials team during thermal vacuum chamber bake-out.

Great summary of where we’re at, weather is going to be a challenge given launch and return requirements. Scrubbing for the next few launch opportunities, but ready to go once a weather window opens!

She sure looks beautiful on the pad 🐉 Awesome time flying with the crew, keeping skills sharp while we wait for weather to clear!

It was an immense effort by so many people to make every part of this mission possible. Couldn't be prouder to be part of the SpaceX + Polaris team, and a part of this crew. I look forward to sharing more as things calm down and we have some time to reflect. For now,

The Earth is unfathomably beautiful from orbit. This captures a tiny fraction of the perspective and raw beauty we saw during the mission. 🌎🌍🌏 Thank you SpaceX for capturing these views and helping preserve the memories. The sound of thrusters firing will forever be one of

It’s like being a kid at Christmas when you finally get to see the pictures you and your crew took in space for the first time! I’m obsessed with the details.. the moon setting behind earth, the plume of the forward bulkhead thrusters firing, the way the sun lights the water..

You might not be able to tell it’s coffee, but it is! SpaceX used frozen coffee pouches as the ice cubes in our cooler. Take one out, thaw it, and voilà! Cold-brew coffee! Loved sharing space coffee with you Anna Menon ☕️ ❤️
